This seems to be an image search site like google images. It does find the same icon on toshiba.com: http://us.toshiba.com/computers/accessories This icon seems to be very popular indeed...

True. There are also things like UFS fragments and ReiserFS tail packing etc, but does plain ext3 or ext4 implement any of these optimizations? I don't think so. So in the most common case nothing is gained by this optimization.

Because positive values contain the actual return value, e.g. the number of bytes read, etc.

AFAIK even a file of 45bytes takes up at least an inode and an entire data block on disk. So on most systems it doesn't matter if the file is 4096bytes or any smaller. And if you need to send the file over the network, the source code still

At least Alfonso Portillo is a Guatemaltecan national. McAfee is an illegal alien. We'll see what happens...

As already stated, the problem is that netatalk has trouble keeping the AFP protocol up to date. On the Linux box it doesn't make sense to use HFS since Ext3 is much more stable and also supports journaling...

Same here. Apple changed the AFP protocol in Lion and netatalk had trouble keeping up. But since my last update to netatalk 3.0.1 a month ago I have had no corruption. (I hope they finally got it right!) The initial backup and indexing is v

There is no need to use the buggy HFS instead of the stable Ext3 on Linux. The backup will be in a disk image anyway...

I guess the idea is to use the month as an array index to convert it into a string. You don't usually convert the day of month or the year into a string. Nontheless I agree that it's bad API design.

Vector pipelining is different from instruction pipelining. And the Itanic is a very different machine than a Cray-1. But in both cases the motivation is similar: to avoid operations with a variable cycle time. The Cray has no variable time

It's the researchers themselfes who edit and peer-review the content. And academics are kind of locked into those journals. Just starting your own free publication is not easy because as an academic you are forced to publish in the establis
