DeCSS was: Juno tech support guru--NOT!

2000-08-17 Thread Michael Smith

Yeah, sounds like the judge totally missed the point about why
DeCSS exists.  However, I do agree with him when he said that the authority
to decide this is the DMCA (AKA, the law).  At any rate, the defendants will
appeal and this will end up in a higher court and have national
jurisdiction.  Until then, am I just violating the law if I wear my shirt
anyplace besides NY?

I just got a new geek shirt yesterday-- the openssh shirt, and am wearing it
currently.  If I would have known this was the day, I would have worn the
DeCSS one.  Oh well.

Free beer, Free food, pretty much free anything.  But it's not GPLed 
because I'm afraid of forking.  Spooning is fine, if the lady is pretty enough.

My brains aren't GPLed though.  I license them out on as needed basis
under a highly restrictive license.  If I did GPL them, I'd package them

Re: Clusters in Linux

The world's err Eugene's largest calculator.  Maybe if it's big enough, fast enough, 
easy enough to get to, easy enough to work with, maybe it could be rented out to 
people like my client (in Florence) who is running astrometric calculations and is 
having problems with files growing larger than 2 gigs.

Just a thought.

Interesting.  EFM uses fam to monitor the filesystem for changes (I
think).  I used to have it installed and running, but haven't played
with it since Debian took over.

On an ext2 filesystem, the maximum filesize is just under 2^31 bytes.
You've hit that limit.  (Er, make that 2**31 in Fortran. (-: Two to
the thirty-first power.)

ReiserFS, which is included in Mandrake 7.1, allows larger files, up
to 2^63 or 2^64, I think.  I've never used ReiserFS.  I don't know how
reliable it is or how hard to use or what other limitations it has.
I've seen the option in the Mandrake 7.1 installer, but never tried
it.

Another option, if those disks are solely for the purpose of holding
the temporary file, is to write to the device file directly, e.g.,
open /dev/hda2 or whatever.  There's no filesize limitation, since
there's no filesystem, but there is a limitation that all your writes
must be in full sectors.  A sector is 512 bytes.  I don't know what
the Fortran I/O library does there.

If you write to the device file directly, you overwrite and destroy
any filesystem and other data on the disk partition.  But you knew
that.

So my 3500 units would be 350 work units under SETI 2.
