coderman: ""I always considered these films Westerns," said Lucas. "What made the classic Westerns of guys like John Ford great was that the stories they told were so simple that they ended up being deeply resonant and inspiring."
coderman: star wars as space westerns. that explains the dialogue perfectly.

Deciding when to forget in the Elephant file system
posted by coderman at 2005-05-18 18:05

coderman: "Modern file systems associate the deletion of a file with the immediate release of storage, and file writes with the irrevocable change of file contents. We argue that this behavior is a relic of the past, when disk storage was a scarce resource. Today, large cheap disks make it possible for the file system to protect valuable data from accidental delete or overwrite."
coderman: disk based backup++. do you know how many CDR's it takes to backup half a terabyte?

UnionFS - A Stackable Unification File System
posted by coderman at 2005-05-18 18:00

coderman: "This project builds a stackable unification file system, which can appear to merge the contents of several directories (branches), while keeping their physical content separate. Unionfs is useful for unified source tree management, merged contents of split CD-ROM, merged separate software package directories, data grids, and more."
MutinyWork: Note to coderman, check your urls before you post them.

^matthew: A new Air Force strategy, Global Strike, calls for a military space plane carrying precision-guided weapons armed with a half-ton of munitions.
^matthew: Another Air Force space program, nicknamed Rods From God, aims to hurl cylinders of tungsten, titanium or uranium from the edge of space to destroy targets on the ground, striking at speeds of about 7,200 miles an hour with the force of a small nuclear weapon. [that's cool mm'kay]
^matthew: A third program would bounce laser beams off mirrors hung from space satellites or huge high-altitude blimps, redirecting the lethal rays down to targets around the world. A fourth seeks to turn radio waves into weapons whose powers could range "from tap on the shoulder to toast," in the words of an Air Force plan.
^matthew: more on global strike

simmo: "The new version of the mix software includes a function by use of which the access to a particular web server can be recorded. Many people felt irritated about this." hahaha

Status of freenet
posted by simmo at 2005-05-18 03:57

simmo: status == one paid developer means a full time interest able to defend the project from any potential volunteers helping out?
coderman: status == totally fucked, like it has been for years and years. and will remain into the indefinite future.
simmo: <freenet community> see i2p
simmo: freenet clearly is that troll designed to prevent anyone from thinking they actually have to work on freedom-of-speech technical aspects
simmo: just as you suspected all along
simmo: perhaps freenet should copy the i2p bounty system
