The USPTO is at it again. What a crock of shit. I have never read anything in my life so rediculus. What is even more amussing is the posting from supposedly technacly savy/. readers who think this is something great!
Hahaha... The NT kernel goes evewn further... It keeps the cached data lying around too so that not only are subsequent opens fast, but so is subsequent IO.
Partitons and file systems are different. It does not matter waht the partition type is; it is still an array of 512 byte sectors.
I personly like JFFS. Open source available from IBM. I also like JFFS in conjunction with LVM. LVM is awesome. Its snapshot feature is very useful in backing up active systems.
I have found that building your own desk is best. If you are not much of a carpenter, hire someone. I had a whole room customized once for $500. I had to paint it mysleft, but all three walls were the desk. Complete room wrap-around. Places for printers monitors, computers, TV, ham radio, etc...
I have since upgraded. I converted a 35' x 25' garage into a 5 room office: two office rooms, conference room, lab and small kitchen.
I chose to make the walls only 5 1/2 feet tall. This leaves the top opne, but the feeling of a closed office when you are seated.
I ran 2 CAT-5, 1 CAT-3 and coaxial to each room (except the kitchen). Terminiation is in the LAB.
I installed over 30 recepticals for power. Two panels and two 10.5 KWh diesel generators.
I use Starband VSAT for interent. I live on the top of a remote montain in Southern California. I have no grid power or grid telephone.
One small thing that most people overlook with respect to C is that not only does time dialate when approaching the speed of light, but distance shrinks. This means that a photon, which is traveling at the speed of C, is everywhere at the same time because distance becomes zero.
Chew on that for a day of so...

Paranoia. If the company you are interning with are confident in their ability to stay ahead of the market, then they have nothing to lose or fear by opening the source. Screw'em, let them find out the hard way; spend you time on something more creative:) Jamey

Actually, Brief was written by UnderWare, Inc. and was then bought by Solution Systems. Solutions Systems sold Brief to Borland. Slick Edit is OK and it does a fine job of brief emulation. Do not know much abouyt Unix emulators, but Visual C++ has very good brief emulation. Jamey
I have been a system programmer for 15 years. I do it for the following reasons: - It is a job - It pays well - It is challenging I am not a guru and you will never hear me proclaim to be a guru. I think there are too many self-proclaimed gurus out there; we need less gurus and more quality producers. It is like a smart person calling himself smart; yeah, right... My goal is to finish this damn project I have been working on for a month. Jamey
I like the idea of tax reform better than OS hording. Imagine dribbling your money back in at 10K chunks... Naaahhh.. Tax reform is the way to go. You guys do vote ; don't you? Jamey
BASIC (Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Language). I think the names says it all. C rules. It is clean an efficent and quite flexiable. C++ is good for people who don't like to prgram, but rather like putting together legos. In C++, too much happens under the hood. Although, I will admit that a good C++ programmer can do some awesome thinbgs. I think I have only met one good C++ programmer in my life. My.02 Jamey

Wow!
Glad the US government is not using an OS that has a single, global kernel lock!

Ahhh... The American programmers are lazy ans spoiled. They cry too much and can not seem to accomplish a damn thing.
"Hire American"? Are you a redneck or something? Bet you just got you new NRA card last week...
It is a global economy and work-force now. Take off the blinders, wake up and smell the coffee.
"Hire American"... Moron...
A day late and a dollar short. LinkSys has a powerline bridge that will get 14mb.

Again, Why this abundance of ignorace on SlashDot this week? This makes me want to puke!
