Comment Re:My take on BHO (Score 1) 38

Fun fact: Your tribal culturalism, all your petty politics, and even (especially) your fanatical religions are pure animal, a pack of chimps that can write and act out Shakespeare, and you have not deviated off course in the least. The cortex serves... That includes yours... Which more often than not you make abundantly clear...

I wouldn't know. You brought it up. I mean, to claim that all hope is in your deity is just a bit over the top, logically speaking of course, and you have deeply offended all 7 billion + other deities on the planet, and in fact, all the trillions and trillions of others that fill every subatomic particle with eternal light.

He is no different than any of the others that you either support or remain silent who preach hate and disrespect.. You must be using this 'maturity' angle as some diversion. Forget about it. They are the same. They work for money. You are just following and believing what you see on the TV, and as always, with you it's the celebrity... If you weren't so... er... selective, you could be taken a bit more seriously. Sorry, you are proving to be the troll. Everything you complain about applies every bit as much to your peeps. You cannot separate yourself. Your attempts to do so continue to provide endless entertainment. You support everything Sharpton/Obama/etc does when somebody else more to your liking does it. That sir, you have made crystal clear. Hell, even d_r can see that. You're just too proud to accept that you've been had.

There just isn't a lot of hope in life outside of Jesus Christ...

That's very defeatist... Sure there is. All sorts of people who never heard of the man are living very fulfilling lives. And they can do it without meddling with and disrespecting others because they appear or act 'different'. Seek them out and learn from them. They preach the message, not the man.

...I'd rather see drives with double the MTBF than double the capacity.

That's not the way the market sees it. Increased reliability can only hurt sales. Our economy system requires perpetual growth, or it will collapse. Planned obsolescence is a very old method of keeping the growth alive. There is no reason that a computer and all its components can't last 20-25 years like our old TVs and refrigerators did.

I have some free time. 'Caring' is not a requirement. I'm am only interested in your responses when poked with a bit of truth about your real animal nature that you try so hard to suppress. A little word about that, you only succeed at perverting the desires with your mad attempt to put everybody in your box.

That doesn't explain why you single out Sharpton. What he doing that is so different from any other preacher touting your conformity? He only conducting business like they do. Why would you even consider that any of them are practicing some kind of 'spirituality'? I don't like the guy either, but he's just one of many of your Jerry Falwell types out for a fast buck and to keep the flock in extremely tight formation for easy pickings, the same way sharks herd their food before going for the kill.

Comment Re:Great, now let's talk filesystems (Score 1) 313

They are hobbyist filesystems, and serious Linux installations use others.

Really? I've been in the field since day one when Linus announced the birth of linux. I've seen thousands of linux systems in the field doing real work. To this day I have never come across a 3rd party file system on linix in the field.

I actually think you have it backwards. All the other filesystems seem to be for hobbyist, because that is all I have ever seen run them.

No, you are advocating censorship, a non solution to a basic personal problem of people who believe everything they hear. They are the ones ruining lives. Deal with them. Leave Google alone! You only have the right to prevent information from being used against you, not the dispersal of the information. I'm always hoping we can achieve P2P internet that will be impossible to censor. Something to make the authorities squirm. That's the best way I know how to finally end this silly discussion every time the subject comes up. Censorship is always evil, without exception.

We can do nothing about people remembering things wrong.

To bad, they are the people who cause the damage and should be sanctioned. You are attacking the wrong guy. Please learn the difference between word and deed. They are as distinct as anything can be.

VBR mp3's are very good, but it isn't FLAC. You don't need superhuman hearing to hear the difference, especially very dynamic music sounds better in FLAC. Hearing the difference becomes easier the better your audio equipment is.

There is another reason to keep your master music source in lossless format. Future recoding. Mp3 are excellent for every day use. I honestly can't tell the difference between high quality mp3's and the original sources.

What people don't realize is that mp3's are on the way out. That is a close to 30 year old format. AAC is the rising star but like mp3 it is a lossy format. So what happens when mp3 is no longer supported? You recode them to the new format.

Recoding mp3 to aac really isn't that big a deal. I can't tell the difference between high quality mp3 to high quality aac recode. But what happens 4 or 5 generations down the road if you keep recoding with lossy formats? Your music sounds like shit eventually.

Flac allows you to keep a master backup in perfect condition to go back to with the recodes. And if your recoding for space on your master source that is bullshit. 3 TB harddrives are around a 150 bucks. That will store a life time of music even in flac format.

"Favorite"?

Data structures are tools. I don't really have affection for any particular one. It depends on what I need them for.

And does the job require implementing one (assuming you are using that word the way I think that you are)? Or does it involve using them, in service of business goals?

It's an interview, so I'd take "favourite" to mean "interesting".

And if someone can tell me how to implement a linked list that's a good start. Even better if they can use that to tell me when using a linked list is worse than using an array list, and vice-versa.
