We in the UK used to call it the "independent nuclear deterrent". Guess that phrase has shown to be wrong; independent my left tit.
I couldn't find a Bill, but I found a Chris Langen. Wikipedia says he was referenced in Outliers...and the article doesn't describe a personal failure to me, rather the opposite, having overcome an abusive childhood to creating a foundation for gifted children to winning big on a gameshow.

For their (and my) defense, the countries composing the European Union are changing a lot more than the states in the USA. Well, even the European countries have changed names/frontiers a lot since I left school (where I had to learn this kind of stuff).

If there is a safe, non-patented way to read the FAT32 partition in order to load the ext3 driver, then why can't that safe way be used to access the whole volume formatted as FAT32 and not bother with the ext3 at all?
Install CDs aren't FAT32, AFAIK. ISO 9660 I would have thought.
How does that work?
What the gods would destroy they first submit to an IEEE standards committee.
