the normal variants of iso9660 (there is level 3 which is writable but i don't think anyone uses it) pretty much can't be written to without completely re-building them (or at least moving lots of data arround) by design.
this is what i don't get about people who buy computers with non-standard form factors.
if i need an ATX power supply i can still get one. at a push if i needed an AT power supply i know what i'd have to do with the connector off the dead PSU and a new atx psu (hint: connect the power switch between PS-on and ground and the rest should be obvious).
is if something does fail you can get a replacement fast from any local computer shop (granted you may have to replace the cpu motherboard and ram as a single unit). for storage redundancy there is linux software raid.
of course this doesn't help you if an hour or so of downtime on a particular box is intolerable. in that case you probablly wan't to be using proper server hardware and holding your own stock of parts.
the reasons you don't see the problems you mention associated with C is the fact that many php (substitute other scripting language if you wish) "programmers" would never get anywhere with C in the first place.
with the exception of uninitialised variables (which can happen in C but is more likely to happen in php due to its lack of required declaration) all of theese are things that affect poor programmers working in any language.
can't you do it through disk administrator like with hard drives? i'm not at home at them moment though so i can't check (uni lab machine is way too locked down to try disk administor).
However, its successor, UDF, is writeable, and is already being used by flash drives which are too big for FAT (>32GB).
source please. this smells like bullshit
1: i don't think i've ever seen a flash drive as big as 32GB. were you thinking of an external hdd maybe. 2: iirc the limit for FAT32 is somewhere arround 4 terabytes. This is still the territory of large raid arrays! maybe you were thinking of the broken formatting tool in win2K/XP. For the record i have two hard drives in usb enclosures one used to be in internal hard drive in a 98 box the other was formatted on win98 whilst in the usb enclosure. All partitions on the drives are over 32 gigabyte and windows XP has no trouble handling them. 3: last i checked windows couldn't handle the writable versions of udf without third party drivers this may have changed with XP though.
afaict the remapping method (i never heared of the extra strong space method before but i can see it as a possibility) is pretty much filesystem agnostic and invisible to the PC so it shouldn't matter who writes the partition fat filesystem on the PC visible block device.

but unlike Java.Net lets you program in many languages both java and.net runtimes let you code in any language that is sufficiantly similar to java/.net in object model (garbage colected heap only objects) and that someone can be bothered writing a compiler for. I belive there are bytecode converters arround in both directions. Often existing languages are screwed about with to make a language that looks similar to the existing language but works enough like java/.net to fit with the vm (vb.net is the classic example of this).
managed C++ seems to be a tool primerally aimed at making linking with native C++ code easier though i admit i haven't looked into the details.
indeed the difference is java worked on at least two totally different platforms (solaris and windows) from the start. If when designing your wrapper you design for just one OS you will probablly make it far more awkward to port to other OSes.
Either implement Windows.Forms in C# native probablly a bad idea. if you base it on wine then you can correctly simulate its interactions with.nets native interface (which you would also point at wine).
how is this offtopic? the fedora community has decided to go against redhats wishes so isn't it ontopic to ask if redhat have the power to stop them doing so?
This will mean that in future, all native Windows applications will easily run on Linux, with Mono. Will Mono achieve what WINE could not?"
BULLSHIT
mono will run into the same problem wine and free java have. if developers develop for one implementation you will be hard pressed to make an alternate implementation that works flawlessly with the apps those developers develop.
using a vacum isn't possible because the heads need air to correctly hover over the disc surface and even if that weren't a problem would require a very strong (read expensive) case.
the reason for not sealing the air in is presumablly economic. if you seal the air in you have to make it a very strong (read expensive) case to deal with the inner/outer pressure difference during transit and at the customers premisis (since they are unlikely to have the exact same air pressure as your factory).
probally not, the filtered presure equalise holes seem to usually be quite some way from the cable and you wouldn't get a great deal moving that way as long as the drive was above the oil (as it is in tfa) i've heared there can be issues with cables acting as syphon pipes though if you put perhiperals below the pc.
then the exploiting code is being run through Wine's API layer. I don't see how it could make Linux syscalls doing that. all it takes to make a syscall is to set up some registers and exectute a particular instruction that the kernel traps from there the kernel takes over.
unless wine is running apps under ptrace (which i doubt because of the complexity and performance cost) there isn't a whole lot it can do to stop an application doing this.
in a multicell structure with the cells under fairly low presure (to let them maintain shape) once a doubled cell reached atnospheric pressure and assuming the cell was held inflated by surrounding cells then yes helium would flow out the top and air in the bottom.
i'd imagine they use it to get views of long distance running/cycling and possiblly some types of motor racing. i'm sure when seeing such sports on TV i've seen views that appear to be from above.

for the same or better image quality
and a hell of a lot more bulk
people pay for compactness its the reason lcds are popular with PC users even though they are a heck of a lot more expensive than similar sized crts.

hmm where in europe are you talking about i know its 17 here in the uk.
what kind of average is that btw mean or median? i'd imagine the mean would be heavilly sqewed by people who find it almost impossible to pass.

what exactly is the problem with plasma and whats replacing it? large lcds? projectors?

wings require speed to be effective.
blimps have to move slowly to avoid thier excessive size causing excessive resistance.
those two statements just don't seem to fit well with a hybrid.
