Well we are talking about a storage capability of 3.4 x10(38th) [that's terabytes to the almost the 9th power]. That's an awful lot of storage and although there might be at some point in the future the capabilities of using such massive amounts of data, it simply doesn't compare to Billy boy's 640k statement. Not to mention we aren't even close to achieving that kind of storage device. Oh sure we could probably build one with current technology, but the cost would be prohibitive and it would probably require liquid cooling.

Any takers for a bet that Jeff Bonwick's assessment soon joins that of Wm Gates - "640 k is enough ."

Depending on the size of your granule, you may want to try chopping them up with a razor blade or the edge of a credit card. At least until they pass easily through the rolled up hundred and are no longer irritating to the nose of the user. Puffing is not the preferred method, a light inhalation through one nostril while holding the other closed will do just nicely. It is unlikely you will get the particles small enough to be a vapor unless you perform some other action upon the granule, such as heating. Please sharpen esoterica if you intend to use it in the kitchen and don't want to saw through your material. Sharpening your tools is always time well spent. va·por (va'per) n.

Don't make fun of the size of people's pipes, it's not polite. And what they choose to do with it in the off-hours is their own darn business. I say whatever goes on behind closed doors is none of my business however, one young man made $50,000 for his off-hours efforts in May. Whether he had to split that with his employer or the computer, I don't have that information. And you keep your pipe out of my pool. Just keep it to yourself. As far as I know, it is illegal to trade in the born or unborn. Up until last month however, it was legal to practice necrophilia in the state of California. Don't count on resurrection, that doesn't happen very often. I've had the occasional cold fish, but that is just too gross. And how do you get around the whole morgue, cold table thing. Eeeaaghh. What does the OSS have to do with anything? That organization morphed into the CIA and NSA long ago. Well, the NSA does develop some encryption software and that whole SElinux thing. Their archives are closed, I know, I've tried to peek in. They waved the whole national security policy thing in my face, but I wasn't buying it. I know they are the source of, well, better lubricants.
The grand unification in filesystems that IF it's not vaporware made possible here would allow this and more to become trivial!
Grand unification field theory requires math that you obviously don't possess. And again with the vapor. It's a field and by no means trivial, even if you had the math. We're talking stuff Einstein and the Berenstein Bears couldn't figure out. Not to mention that whispering Hawking guy. It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for you know.

Have you ever seen the Giants up close. Those are some big baseball players. I doubt they'd let anybody stand on their shoulders unless they won the pennant.

I have done 2 replys to this - one is in drafts and may mercifully stay there . THIS one is more blunt because the situation has gotten simply beyond niceties . MY post was placed above the silly ones to redirect to something I failed at making my points about . Some of us were interested in the filesystem on it's merits or lack of IF we could have gotten that far . Others have quite obviously passed judgment by their directing the thread over the edge . SO we disagree on verbiage and also on technical points . That 's possibly a stimulant to constructive traffic on a list. Carrying that disagreement into Ad Hominem territory is not a good thing For the list or it's members . Either to initiate or respond in kind to it . So On List at least let's not any of us go there .
Urinary competitions have no real winners of anything worthy !
Let's get back to the original thread topic after this hopefully disposes of the silly stuff . Because some of us may want to explore a potentially disruptive concept as it is being born !
My closing banishment is directed at the miasma called discourtesy festering among us . Folks- let's be better than that .
