You are absolutly right. The decision to move to ext3 as the default FS was made quite some time ago. One can't help but laugh at all the "informed"/.'ers
Uh, is it just me? Did anyone happen to notice that we have a new/. editor kdawson, and that his background is pretty heavily littered with both technical and editorial writing?
Did anyone notice that this story emphasized the greatness of the/. editorial model vs. the "digg.com" model, and was curiously posted by "Anonymous reader"?
It may in fact just be the Ritalin talking, but I think our beloved/. Editors are getting their pokes in here and there...
Most good players don't actually "Bluff" in the sense that they are totally full of crap, and have no hand. Most bluffs are calculated risks based on the overall odds of "Improving" the hand, such as the case with four of a suit and two cards left to be turned over. In that case, the overall odds of hitting the flush are good enough to bet on (unless of course there is a pair showing on the board, which would indicate a possible full-house), even though the player has no "real" hand yet. Situations such as this can be quantified. Granted there are some real morons out there who will try to "bluff" with nothing, they are relatively rare and don't usually last long.
If it is commercial, couldn't the company' records be subpoenaed (in a worst case scenario) by state/local/etc authorities? If so, I would think that would spell even worse trouble for a user.
The real question is what type of test was performed... It would make sense that different applications would function differently in a variety contexts. How about some variance? I dig VMWare, but come on...
It's pretty simple... NASA is an organization that relies on their public image to garner both support and funding. If the American people are not happy with the science that NASA is doing (often judged by their product(s), i.e., photographs), then congress is less likely to deliver the funding needed. This being said, it is very common for NASA, and other organizations involved in extra-planetary research to create composite images for public release. Have a look at the products delivered by the MER's, Global Surveyor, etc... Nearly every photograph you see is a composite of either multiple shots (wider field), multiple wavelengths (greater detail), or stereoscopic composites (depth).
Never mind the above... Let me ask you this. Do you really think the good folks at NASA would release such conspicuous evidence of image manipulation if their collective conscience was guilty of fraud? It stands to reason that the crosshair(s) in the photograph(s) in question are of little consequence to the real story being told by NASA (via the images). THEY ARE PICTURES, TAKEN FROM THE FRICKING SURFACE OF THE MOON... BY A MAN, THAT WE PUT THERE! For the 60's, that was a pretty damn impressive feat.
Crack-pot conspiracy theories be damned, you can bet your ass that the scientists and engineers who made these missions possible are quite proud of their accomplishments, and the need to justify any supposed "evidence" of fraud on their part is of very little concern given their obvious accomplishments.
Bottom line is this, we went to the Moon! If you truly believe that it was a hoax, please read this - and then for the love of FSM, get off the ADD drugs and re-evaluate...
This is great but they (Sprint/Nextel) still have a long way to go before this technology is relevant to the majority of sprint users. Sprint's EVDO network is awesome when you have connectivity, that being said, for the majority of the United States, service is spotty at best.
I have been running SUSE 10.1 on my thinkpad T43p for several months. SUSE seems to be the only distro that has implemented the Intel wireless (ipw2200) card correctly (firmware, driver, etc...), as well as provide support for Bluetooth. Red Hat and Fedora both require that you do download the firmware, and re-install the ipw2200 drivers before the wireless card will work correctly. And I wish you luck w/the Bluetooth. In fact, I can honestly say, that this was the first time that I have ever installed a Linux distro on one of my ThinkPad's (I have owned 5 total), and had everything work correctly right after install. Coincidence?
This said, I am now sure that they (Novell) have been planning on supporting the IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad(s) for a quite some time...
This should make uninstalling Firefox/Mozilla a real Joy! I'd rather a nasty case of dysentery than have a "Real" product installed on my system (dysentery is much easier to get rid of...)
What is with all the hubbub regarding the name? His company is called "Skywalker Jets", not "Luke Skywalker Jets", not"Anakin Skywalker Jets", and not "Skywalker Studios Jets". Think about it... The folks at "Thompson Food Group" aren't suing the folks at "Thompson Building Materials", are they? Even if Lucas is peeved about the name, just give the guy a Jetpack, that ought to pacify him as well as be a great PR stunt.
P.S. It is important to note that Mr. Herron holds the trademark for "Skywalker Jets". If you're interested in finding out more about trademarks, or searching the database, go here
Maybe it's just me, but I think the issue here is more about physical security (chain of custody, etc...) than anything else. I have a hard time believing that anyone would or could simply walk into a voting booth, crack this puppy open, and reboot the machine without anyone knowing about it.
Quite Frankly, I'm not surprised... It is well known that the OpenID project (Open Intelligent Design) is far more promising. For those who don't know, there is now a beta version dubbed "Kansas" slated to be released around Christmas.
Perhaps it's just me, but I thought that folks started taking note if the power issue when faced with the need to plug their graphics adapters directly into their power supplies...
Man oh man... Are you aware that there are currently two rovers on the surface of Mars that were slated to operate for 90 sols (Mars days which are roughly equal to an earth day)? Are you aware that both of those rovers have now been operational for over two years? Your comment is funny, but you sure chose a strange context in which to make your joke.
And I've got to ask, what do you do to your computers that kills them in three months? Take em swimming?

I have been using Vista (Build 5381), and I've personally seen the effects of their new networking internals - in my opinion they have got a long way to go. I wish anyone who attempts to use this version on a machine with the Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg lots of luck... I've had an easier time using this card w/Linux (no surprises there).

No big deal, just an paranoid/schizo observation
