There's a female singer who learnt that lesson some time ago and gave her name to the "Effect"

Familiar with them are we Sir?

Please step this way ...

I've found Anonymous - they are here on /.

Look, you can even see their leaders here - they are called Anonymous Coward and if I lookup Coward on that interweb I find a bloke called Noel - but he was a famous homosexual - hmmm something must be wrong.

My interweb must be broken or something.

Over here (UKoGB) the anti smoking lobby is pretty strong but even they don't invoke a deity in support.

Sounds catchy - even if I am a confirmed tabber.

Everything (just looked at the homepage) looks just like "locate" (slocate, mlocate etc) which is a long standing *nix system tool. Oh and with a GUI frontend. There's plenty of those for locate as well.

As to that sort of metadata based FS, it seems to be really hard to do properly and despite it seeming like a good idea, not many are screaming out for it. If they were we'd all have one by now.

My money is on it being hard to do whilst not sacrificing performance. FSs are bloody hard - watch the development of any of the new breed of FS eg BTRFS, EXT4 etc.

Is that really the best presentation that can be done?

A huge mass of turgid text.

I'll grant you that its a good^H^H^H^Hfair defence against a /.ing but they probably have more than a modem to connect to the interwebs.

seems to be the real output from this initiative, given the top post. Perhaps I ought to read the links just in case there is something more tangible ...

Well Mr six dig, RanDomCapS 'n' punctuationeer extraordinare - who can say?

Apparently someone called Timothy left their name on the article for all to see.

When did you notice the bug? - We'd all love to hear your insights on it.

You don't remember {MS|PC|IBM}DOS do you?

It should be possible to sue for time wasted trying to get 620Kb free memory available to run some shitty Lucas Arts game (or a crappy network stack n client).

Before the "I had a few problems with punch cards" mob dives in - no one ever said that a batch system based on paper doilies would be easy.

Try using a search engine with the term MHTML and getting something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML

On FF you'll need a plugin to "see" MHTML, whatever it is. It seems to be an unholy mix of HTML and MIME and sounds unpleasant and probably a bit unnecessary.

>The French Revolution was illegal as hell, too.

And so was the (N) American one and many others as well.

The thing about the aftermath of a revolution - the winners get to redefine legality.

Hilarious - perhaps you designed the Tacoma Narrows bridge.

Your comment clearly explains why I call myself a consultant and not an Engineer.

You have a five digit /. ID and you ask a stupid question like that?

Presumably you were on the plonk, tired and emotional when you posted it.

Surely you see that your comment implies you have a nearly infinitely fast internet connection ...

To be honest your findings fit my personal point of view and surely has this a major bearing on for example road safety.

I've grabbed a copy of your paper and will have to do a proper digest of it - a quick read shows it to be potentially pretty important in many fields of safety.

Good suff.

PS Its not my thing as such (I'm an IT bod) but it makes a damn good "news for nerds" story
