It isn't a corral. A corral implies a loss of freedom. I can still write
a check or see a teller if I want.

I can pay a bill while I'm at work of

You have lost the physical paper trail. Doesn't it bother you
that electronic checks can be applied against your account without
any physical permission written by you?


The physical permission can be forged more easily than the electronic one.
When it gets to the bank, they do all the work electronically. As a
result, whether I do on line banking or not, the actual work is done
electronically. If the security in the bank and broken, not using on line
banking will not protect me.

If you have a paper audit trail you have clear evidence
of all your transactions in your hands. All other arguments
are without substance.

I don't have real paper any more. Most people don't. The statement
arrives with a picture of the check not the real one. Since the picture
is produced electronically, it is no better than the electronic record
that made it. If someone fakes up a check from me, it would be quite hard
for me to prove it isn't real. The only hope would be that they wouldn't
think to change the check number on it so that the bank would have two
with the same number.

Even if I can prove the issue, it will take time for me to do so. There
is always some risk in any system that allows paper or electronics to
cause money to move.

It gets doubly troubling when you consider the credit cards etc we all
carry.

Maybe we should change the topic name to "Guiness needs scientists".
Perhaps it would be better to call it "annoy the hell out of whiny net
cops". I really don't see why he is so upset. We are after all
discussing a very pressing problem in electronics.

Has something funny happened to the database of postings. I could have

hope someone has been making good backups. It would be a shame if the
system failed from a simple error like that.

I think we are just seeing the result of a bug in the system. No sane
person could ever want this threadt to die. I'm sure he was objecting to
the silly one about transistors.

Do you mean the hardware or the logical content. In either case you are
wrong about how things are done on most Linux boxes today. The Reiser
file system is what is used for the logical contents. The hardware is
typically SATA.

The partitioning is still as it was in DOS days partly because the Linux
folks want to be able to work with DOS/Windows drives.

Looks like Dennis Ritchie doesn't remember.

ReiserFS isn't universal among Unix/Linux systems.
Click to expand...
It isn't universal but that is the current trend. People are moving away
from things like EXT2.

The FS may be at its end.

I doubt it is at its end. I would not, on the other hand, be surprised to
see it replaced with a better one. The science is still evolving.

His modus operandi is unchanged in that case.

Yes. ReiserFS is one hell of a good premise, even if it were to not
last. The beat will go on...

On a different note:

I like XOSL boot manager too, but it hasn't been maintained for
years. Maybe I should re-write it for today! It sure is a cool boot
manager.

If a CPU chip needs 1 hour to do a an add instruction, you can't make it
go faster by anything you code. Like I said it sets the upper limit on

Sigh! If an ADD takes an hour and the computation has to be done
in less time, then you don't use the ADD instruction. You do
the addition by hand.

In other words: You need another CPU to do the operation.

Not at all. You can arithmetic by hand.

You will say anything to avoid admitting that you missed the point when I
said that the hardware is what sets the upper limit on the performance.

I am addressing your comment.
No amount of
fancy code on a machine that takes an hour per instruction will fix it.

This is what I have been trying to explain to you about the hardware
setting the upper limit on performance.

Sigh! The IBM 1620 had no arithmetic instructions. Arithmetic
was done "by hand" by looking up table entries.

..... and that set a limit on the performance didn't it.
Click to expand...
No. The architecture could not do arithmetic. Software
increased the performance beyond the hardware's capabilities.
