At least in Windows XP, you can mount a disk on an empty folder. So, in theory at least, you could have one drive mounted on a drive letter (say C:\), and all your other drives mounted on a subfolder of that drive letter (e.g., C:\Floppy\, C:\CD-ROM\, etc.).
The whole point of symbolic links is that they're transparent. That way, an application doesn't have to parse a.lnk file. The OS handles reading/writing from the correct file. Real file symlinks have been missing from Windows for too long, I think it's about time they were added. (Whether or not anybody actually uses them instead of shortcuts is another story.)
Shortcuts are handled very strangely in Windows. They are really.lnk files, but Windows goes to great lengths to prevent you from opening them. (IIRC, they are really just special.ini files.)
Some of us will have to live in America for a while and would like to avoid breaking the law just to listen to their music, music that they purchased legally.
I would buy one if they were actually available! At Apple's online store, it says they'll ship in approximately 3-4 weeks. There's none available at my local Apple store either. I wonder you scratched my Nano will be in a month.

You forgot FAT12, which Windows supports for floppies.

Yes, it does support hard links and has since Windows 2K. Here's a link.

I know you're joking, but didn't rootkits originate on *nix operating systems?

Something like this?
No, nobody's doing it because then we couldn't argure on Slashdot about why nobody's doing it.

I don't even care about apathy.
Coherence and Slashdot are mutually exclusive.
What kind of result got dented? And what's a "result in suit" anyway? Is it just a well-dressed result?
s/you/how/ in the last sentence.

In Soviet Russia, a Beowulf cluster of these imagine YOU!
I uninstalled Netscape 8 in less time than that. :-)
These jokes are really getting sort of cheesy.
Yes, soy milk has an expiration date like just about any other food product. (Even bottled water has an expiration date.)
My milk hasn't expired yet.
LOL, thanks man. That's probably what will get posted anyway. (I wonder if I should find that funny or just sad.)
Just be glad it's not Yet Another Google Article.
The $399 version doesn't have ads.
OK, I give up. (Slashdot really needs a spelling/grammar checker.)
Man, that's what read HTTP specs does to you.
It was dolphins. (For the uninitiated, he's refering to this Slashdot article.
