Bah! Here I am having just bought a new hard drive less than a week ago, doing research for a week before that on what FS to use...and now Slashdot has a story about it.
Meh... I went with Ext3 + ext2ifs (for Windows) and have had no problems...yet. It's fast and fsck hasn't given me any errors on the 100 GB+ I've written to it from Windows+ext2ifs.
PS. when creating an ext3fs for file storage, you'll most likely want to free up the 5% (?) of disk space ext3 reserves by default:

I'll admit, I was a little confused when I first tried out Linux a couple years back, but...
a) thanks to advise from users and my own research on distrowatch, it wasn't too hard to find a disto to dip my feet in: Mandriva Move (a LiveCD)
b) Ubuntu hadn't gone big yet (at least not according to distrowatch's popular distros list). Now, if a Windows user wants to know how to start with Linux, Ubuntu is the no-brainer (Ubuntu/Kubuntu would be the only choice to make). The install disk is even a LiveCD now.
If I starting with Linux with out giving up immediatly (or at all) (how the heck did I survive compatibility and dependancy-hell?), then I don't think there is any issue at all for anyone smart enough to be using it at all--starting with near-perfect hardware compatibility, easy app installs, and without wiping their hard drive to try it...

I was just installing Java on another computer a couple hours ago. At installation verification page there was a list of featured games and applications. I was wondering why Blu-ray was one of them.
Sun's Java Micro Edition technology forms the platform for Blu-ray's advanced content delivery capabilities.
Computers are to the Internet as people are to society.
That 'definition' even allows for anti-social/'disconnected' people/computers, as well as isolated societies/networks. "Society" is understood to be "the body of human beings generally" (The Internet), but can also be used synonymously with "community" (a network).
The Internet cannot be described solely as a physical thing because that definition (the lay one) would only describe a network and because the computers (and even protocols) are always changing (or at least could without being a different network).
While Uruviel (somewhere else in this discussion) used the analogy of computers being photos in an album, it has the issue of the empty album (is The Internet just the infrastructure?).
My thought was that of computers being photos spread out on a table. Some photos could be placed together as pairs or groups. Some of these groups could be quite large but there would be one HUGE heap of photos in the middle. We can't just call the big heap a collection of multiple photos because there are many of these, so we then choose to give this heap (independent of the individual photos that are added/removed from it) a name. A suitable one would be The Heap. It isn't unique in its makeup but is significant enough to be uniquely identified.
Upgrading using the alternate CD/DVD
Use this method if the system being upgraded is not connected to the Internet.
Download and burn the alternate installation CD
Insert it into your CD-ROM drive
A dialog will be displayed offering you the opportunity to upgrade using that CD
Follow the on-screen instructions
If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for any reason, you may also run the following command using Alt+F2:
gksu "sh/cdrom/cdromupgrade"
Note that for Kubuntu the upgrade dialogue will not be displayed and you will need to install gksu before running the above command (it will not work with kdesu).
I assume you could also do this without burning the disk (but I'm not too familiar with mounting ISOs).

Why is this modded 'funny'. Although probably not entirely true, anyone curious to check Linux out is going to be pointed straight to Ubuntu.

All in binary with no human-readability aids (ie. spaces), either.
Fuck everything, they're doing five razors.
Then you might have to...*gasp* *Oh, the horror!*... go to the website and download the install file.
Man, Windows makes it so much easier, eh? At least in Windows the Add/Remove feature allows easy installation of some softwa...ait. Hmmm...
