Reiser barfs that bad on a lousy 120,000 files? Geez, no wonder I've always been suspicious of it, apparently rightfully so...
No, it doesn't. If you're going to make technical decisions based on unverified information from random Slashdot posters, especially when it flies in the face of reality (ReiserFS was designed to handle lots of small files), then I hope you don't do this kind of thing for a living.
I've got about 2 million e-mails stored on a ReiserFS partition in maildir format (all single files) and I can assure you that most other filing systems would shit themselves. Performance aside, if I moved them to Ext2 they would take up at least twice as much space since ReiserFS packs together files smaller than the cluster size.
That's why any code I write is going to be any license other than the GPL. I blame RMS and his groupies for the present state of affairs.
Dude, any code you write is probably not going to work anyway. You can't even make sense when you're writing English.
Even though the BSD is approved by the FSF. It still remains under attack.
I didn't know the BSD is under attack. Perhaps you should launch every zig for great justice? Or maybe lose the persecution complex? Maybe if you write to Linus he'll tell his army to stop attacking you. We all know that's the only thing keeping BSD down.
And RMS, while not exactly my favourite person, has one thing that you don't. A name. Maybe you're just posting as an Anonymous Cocktard so those Linux fanatics can't have you assasinated?
And I sure hope AMD dumps the Semptron soon- by the looks of it they will, since the AthlonXP architecture it's based on isn't going to scale much further.
Not quite true - only the low end Semprons are based on the AthlonXP architecture. You've also got the Socket 754 Semprons which are Athlon 64s minus the 64bit goodness and Socket 939 Semprons which are 64bit but with only 128kB of cache.
Unfortunately the Socket 939 ones are only available to OEMs at the moment - it appears they overclock very nicely.
We know that some EM radiation does cause cancer and other health problems.
EM radiation covers a vast range of frequencies and some of it does cause health problems. But you're clearly talking about cell phones, power lines, WiFi etc..
In which case would you be kind enough to cite studies which unambiguously show that these cause cancer or any other health problems?
Or are you the sort of person that buys special crystals to stop your cell phone upsetting your chakras and giving you cancer?
No, implied or direct criticism of Apple = flamebait/troll. Welcome to MacSlash.
If you disagree, just click that iPod icon at the top of the screen. Number of stories about a perfectly ordinary music player that happens to be made by Apple between April 30th 2005 and July 30th 2005 = 30.
I liked my powerbook, but now it's time to say fuck you Apple, enough is enough, and part ways it seems.
I hardly think your opinion is going to carry much weight with the true Apple fans. You see, you admit in your sig to running Linux on a Powerbook, so in their eyes you're already some kind of filthy deviant.
You may as well have said, "I'm a convicted pedophile and I'm not happy with Apple's stance on DRM". Except in that case, there's probably less chance of an angry mob with burning torches turning up at your house.
Oh come on, Steve isn't all bad. For instance I particularly like his idea that people should disable TCP/IP on their home networks and use IPX instead.
What it mainly has going for it is that anyone naive, gullible or stupid enough to take any notice of his sensationalist, self-publicising, scaremongering bullshit won't be able to talk to the rest of the Internet. It's like a self-cleaning gene pool!
It's not a bug, it's a feature. Some security products operate by inserting TCP reset signals to blog innapropriate connections. One company has had a patent on this method for years.
Yes, but there is a huge difference between a router/firewall/IDS which is actually handling the connection (and therefore has intimate knowledge of the sequence numbers) being able to send an RST and a 3rd party with only limited info about the connection being able to reset it.
I assume you took that minor detail into account before insinuating that Paul Watson was a publicity seeker who hadn't discovered anything new?
No, you failed to bore everyone to tears with a 60,000 word essay on the importance of an HIG.
Also, you didn't complain about KDE giving users the ability to change the system colours. Every Gnome zealot knows that if you give users that much control, they'll just change all the colours to white and leave their computer unusable. They can't be trusted with configuration options.
And you really should have mentioned that Gnome has the best apps, citing examples such as Firefox and the Gimp.
Exsqueeze me, but the new KDE desktop looks zack same as old one.
Yeah, the developers were planning to completely change the look & feel with every minor dot release. But then they realised that would be fucking retarded.
FreeBSD allows you to allocate a dynamically resizable filesystem out of swap (see: md, mfs).
Isn't that exactly the same as tmpfs under Linux?
Perhaps some BSDers can tell us why the FreeBSD implementation is superior to the Linux one? Extra marks will be awarded for each use of the words "inelegant" and "cruft".
Actual experience or knowledge of either implementation is, as usual, entirely optional if not discouraged.
So the logic boards might still suck, but if you have AppleCare, and back up your data regularly, you should still be set.
So, as long as you don't mind taking in your laptop for repair 3 or 4 times over a short period and the constant risk of losing your data, it's a great laptop?
Another one for the Loony Apple Zealot scrapbook I think.
Also, are there any Apple fans reading that can instantly mod this post flamebait to prevent the faithful being contaminated by my heresy? Thanks in advance.
My web site is hand-coded and intended to be lynx friendly. No fancy flash animations, I'm afraid...
Just one small point - I couldn't find your contact details anywhere on the site. And I'm afraid I need to invoice you for the cost of an eye transplant. Thanks in advance.
BeOS was usable on the desktop when Linux was just a little toy no one would think about using on a server, let alone a desktop.
When the fuck was BeOS ever usable as a desktop?
I tried it a number of times over the years on different hardware and it was never more than a fucking toy.
So tell us all - what exactly did you use it for? Photoshop? Cubase? Oh no, those were never released because it was just a fucking toy.
Let's face it - you used it to browse the net with the shitty builtin browser and laughed at the Haiku error messages generated when you tried to visit approximately 99% of the web sites in existence. And that's all you ever did.
I don't hate people who advocate a particular OS just because they like it. I hate people who lie like you just have. Prick.
I would really appreciate it if you could provide some online references.
You'll never see any because they don't exist. The company behind Zeta have done some very dubious things (such as selling the beta on a German shopping channel and describing it as just like Windows XP without the viruses) so I see no reason to believe their claims.
Of course, the legion of fanatical BeOS fans will believe any shit they put on a press release just because they don't want to believe that BeOS is deader than dead. I look forward to not reading their replies.
If you ask me, the only reason they don't have one currently is because there is no profit to be made today in that arena.
Which is why Blizzard are going bust.
Because this is Slashdot, I now need to point out that in fact Blizzard are doing very well and the above is a joke to illustrate the innacurate and sweeping generalisation made by the parent poster. Which makes it a lot funnier.
1. You think masturbating is more fun than "a child's came console". The rest of us get real ass and play the system for fun.
No, work on your reading comprehension. I was suggesting it might be therapeutic for someone who seems dangerously obsessive. I mean, if a person can get that worked up about computer games, what will happen when they run into a serious real-life situation? Probably something that makes the evening news.
I have to admit that nothing in any of the parents posts made me think, even for a second, that he could get "real ass".
But let's drop the pretence. You are the poster I was replying to. Either that or you suffer from exactly the same psychological and educational "disadvantages".
Not sure where you're going with the whole Linux shell thing. Do Linux shells often make you think of masturbation? I should mention that to your phsychiatrist if I were you.

Confirmed, it does not work with crossover office :(
I'm also having trouble getting MS Office to run under Cedega for some reason.

yes, I can live with the shame of having a rock-solid, Unix-based operating system such as FreeBSD (m0n0wall is FreeBSD-based). Grow up, boy!
I think he was probably referring to the shame caused by the inevitable accusations of necrophilia that afflict anyone who dabbles in "BSD".
Or maybe the total loss of a sense of humour.
There's still Sis, Via, and all that good stuff in that market.
You seem to have mis-spelled cheap assed, semi-functional crap. Hope this helps.

I am trying to expose both sides of the issue here.
And by posting as an Anonymous Cocktard you massively increase your credibility.
It just seems to me that the article is completly 100% biased in favour of the union
And what are your biases? Maybe you're the CEO of Telus? We'll never know, which makes your comments completely irrelevant.
Try growing some testicles and then post again.
Hmm, I think the market cut Commodore out of the market.
Actually I think you'll find that Commodore's management and marketing cut Commodore out of the market.

Show me a version that doesn't take up valuable PCI real-estate, make it mountable in an internal 3.5" bay, and then I might be interested.
You're absolutely right! They should design one with a Floppy interface for ultimate compatability and performance.

The problem with PoE is that its -48V which is difficult to make unless your a phone company.
I'm not an expert in these matters, but couldn't one make -48v by making +48v and then swapping the wires over?
Is it worth me trying to patent this idea?

Why on Earth would the US want Bin Laden caught?
I'm really not trying to troll, I just don't see the advantage in him being caught.
While he's free you can use his freedom to justify anything. What use is he to the US in captivity?
Can anyone answer this?
