Allocation size is irrelevant as many advanced systems are supporting fragments (however still not implemented in ext2/ext3:-( ), but sector size matching memory page size can increase performances.

Huh, doesn't that apply to all versions of MS-Windows ?:)
So were doing Itaniums that I've used 2 years ago.
Windows XP doesn't support EFI. Therefore, the technical challenge has been getting windows XP to boot on a machine with EFI. Even Vista is supposedly going to lack EFI support.
Agreed, but I've heard that at some point an MS-Windows version was available for Itanium. I guess MS has most of the code needed to boot a WinXP from EFI...
Linux can boot from EFI (with elilo for example) Linux BIOSes are available I wonder if it isn't possible to fake a BIOS for MS-Windows to boot combining the two above.
Well, easier to say it than to do it, I know:) My point was that in the absolute it is harder to break some crypto than working around a dumb boot loader...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dismissing the performance but the "succeeded at the impossible" from the blurb just doesn't sound "accurate" to me. It should be more difficult to run Intel MacOS X on a PC box than the opposite.

And there is no "buffering"
Sort of. Suscribing to a channel takes time and then, as the channel is MPEG2/TS here (France), you need to wait the next I-Frame.
Overall I need to wait 2,5 to 3 seconds, if loading channel data isn't involved.
The only thing that is annoying is that the menus load kind of like a website.
And it's because menus are HTTP stream. I know that because I'm working on that right now, with ADSL TV decoders from two providers.
I guess mafias have a lot of "innotative" ways to do "commerce", but they probably have no incentive to publish them, keeping them as industrial secrets:)
For one it is yet another misleading headline, briefly checking in TFA those inventions came later than Mahomet.
However it doesn't make sense to me to associate those inventions from Arabs, Persians, Ottomans,... to some religion, especially as these articles do not seem to cover other culture and civilization aspects and influences at all.
It's just about a book with fancy colours illustrating inventions from parts of the world where Islam is the main religion now.
You're lucky, usually this kind of comment has great chances to be modded troll and be followed by a whole flaming thread of people opposing their own definition of theft that we've read hundreds of times:)

That's why I didn't wrote Middle East

Yeah, except that apt-get update is in a crontab. :) (halfed?)
So apt-get upgrade is sufficient, difficulty halved
