Why is the speed of stat a POSIX issue ? I don't see anything in there that warrants changing the semantics of open() read() write() seek() stat() and close(). I don't see how it is any business of POSIX to mandate meta-data caching.

I feel sorry for people who base their business on computers but don't know how to use them properly or have anyone around that does.

I' m not signing up to post there but just so you know: Association Football doesn't have "rules", they are adjudicated by an "umpire". Soccer has a "referee" ipso facto it has "laws".

Here's something you might find interesting Gamma error in picture scaling http://www.4p8.com/eric.brasseur/gamma.html

Working on our backup path. I run some Limbo[1] code using Windows Scheduled Tasks. This copies the contents of My Documents and Desktop (or wherever) to a Venti[2] server running on Linux on the LAN. The storage arenas of that server are extracted in 500Mb chunks and encrypted, along with the scores for accessing them, using GPG[3]. These are then copied offsite, via the internet and bundled into DVD sized groups and burned to optical when appropriate. As Venti arenas are append only this is minimum transfer, secure backup. That's obviously just the Windows machiens that use Limbo. Unix likes have native clients. Our Venti store also contains data from other soruces such as the website and imap servers. Though it might make sense to separate them out, that's the decisions I'm working on as I go along.

I would also like to find an encryption method that uses fixed size chunks so I can upload only the appended data. That's something I need to look more into. I know they are around somewhere.

What is mildly amusing is that Gnash has had H.264 HW acceleration available for months.

50kbps about 6Kb per second, 22Mb per hour

On a TWC 5Gb cap line for $30 per month thats 232 Hours playing time per month (8 hours per day) if you do no other downloading.

What if you had 3 people in your house all wanting to play games DRMd like this ? You'd have to upgrade your connection just to play games you already paid for.

hehe you think you get >= 50kbps without ever going under for more than a few seconds ? I guess you've never been on dial up

50kbps - good luck if you're on GPRS. What about dial-up, some people still use that don't they ?

Oh no, a major cyber attack against the US, we'd better call in the experts :

> Michael Chertoff, who played the national security advisor in the exercise

A lawyer

> Stewart Baker played national cyber coordinator

Attorney

> Jamie Gorelick

Attorney

> Frances Townsend

former Counsel to the Attorney General

> Charles F. Wald played Defense secretary

a retired Air Force general

> John Negroponte

Profession Diplomat

> Stephen Friedman

Juris Doctor (i.e. Dr of Law)

> John E. McLaughlin

former Director of Central Intelligence & magician

> Barth acknowledged that XPnet's data couldn't determine whether the memory usage was by the operating system itself, or an increased number of applications

In that case I call "full of shit"

dammit, that would have been better

Knock! Knock!

Is that how you feel about people who cook their own food?

> Apple has no pretense at “openness”

They might control the hardware and the app store but the software stack is not so closed e.g. Darwin Streaming Server, Webkit, OpenDarwin, blocks & Grand Dispatch, libcocoa, Objective-C and the list goes on

Same in the UK

Good for Charlie. I love my Sony PRS500. Ok no wifi or fancy (it does play mp3s!), but it was $150 for ebay, so when I driopped it and a bit of the case broke I just stuck some duct tape on it and didn't care.

I've filled it with stuff from Gutenburg, stuff you can't even buy if you wanted to. It'll be a long time before I've read my way through the free stuff. And by then I'll be able to bay a fancy one.

> The software runs off of a Ubuntu Linux OS

Besides, one should say "on Ubuntu" not "off of".

I would say that specifying that warming 1860-1880 'not statistically significantly different' to 1995-2009 is quite an admission. Not the same as "No global warming" but not exactly evidence of runaway AGW.

> The more people use a network, the more valuable it becomes; the more valuable it becomes, the more people use it

the more useless it becomes.

I so don't get why people are not encouraged to use pass phrases rather than single words as they are both easy to remember and long.

Take the example weak password "iloveu" if you changed that to "i love beer" or "i love big cocks" you rocket from weak to strong. You can even work the name of the site in there "i love facebook" or "i love hacker news".

/me shakes head

btw. what's a "strenght meter"?

You might not run the reactor with it or the heart monitors but ancillary staff need terminals for which Windows is suited and if I was running the place I'd want an air gap.

The concern is about a) false positives, b) what happens on non-internet connected machines inside secure facilities e.g. nuclear power stations, banks, police stations, hospitals &c. &c.

So the only victims will ever be valid paying customers.

There's also the argument about debugging, one can insert a tee in any stage of

   cat file | xargs foo | grep bar | sort | wc -l
