I never said this. I was implying that this is how it's
typically done. Most people don't need to use a raw partition because
their FS is up to the performance job, however, with ext2, it's
almost a necessity because it's so slow.

Of course, but most people don't use the partition method, they
use files. Of course, in Linux, if you want anything close to resembling
performance, you HAVE to use the partition.

NT has, and always will have support for multiple platforms. Just because
MS doesn't ship them, doesn't mean it's not there. You are smart enough
to realize this, aren't you?
NT has always had >2GB file support on every platform it's yet been
ported to:
IA32
MIPS
PPC
ALPHA
SPARC
Linux, however, took the cheap route and only supports it on specific
64-bit platforms which illustrates the design brain power deficit.

Then if the request for an emergency Federal injuction on the blocking of
file attachments by Outlook falls through the people will have to mail
attachments with the extension removed. But since ms doesn't show extensions
by default the recipient will have no way to add the extension back to the
file, thus throwing the world into utter chaos! At this point the DOJ will
hold a press conference on the matter, vowing to right this wrong against
humanity by the evil and elusive Microsoft Corporation.
Ohhh...I can see it now!

No...I mean Differential Equations.
Why don't you go to your nearest university, walk into a store that sells
curriculum textbooks, and compare the section of your freshman calc textbook
covering "differential calculus" with ANY book titled "differential
equations"....and notice that you cannot even BEGIN to solve differential
equations until you are PROFICIENT with integral calculus.

Interesting, but irrelevant, as Gates was supposedly writing in an
ASCII environment.
However, if one is merely pilfering someone else's code, then it
is entirely reasonable assume that the little weasel that he would
neglect to make the appropriate EBCDIC -> ASCII conversion...

Yes, Simon think it is quit normal for Gates to ignore a standard that
had been in place for a full decade.
Of course...for Gates...yes..that is normal.

Let's see..which is more productive.
A) A Lose NT server that can handle 2, maybe 3 services one machine, or

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
also known as old hags who've hit the wall....
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
direction that she doesn't like.
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.
D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (C) above.
E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
her behavior improves.
F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
G: Knackos...you're a retard.
