Ok, so it's decided. Apple needs to implement universal metadata using ReiserFS style bundles combined with synchronised databases for the best of both worlds, or we're all going to Cupertino with pitchforks!

1._Secular Humanism (100%) 2._Unitarian Universalism (99%) 3._Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (89%) 4._Liberal Quakers (88%) 5._Nontheist (79%) Seems about right.

Well, I've been converted from Fire to Adium X. Adium X has personality. Personality goes a long way. Barto

I hope Apple does this. It can only further entrench the iPod (remember - iTMS exists for the iPod, not the other way around) and help to make AAC the audio format of the future. Barto

The ReiserFS solution sounds very good, almost an improved version of what Apple is trying to do. Unfortunately, it does not allieviate the problem of having to search individual files, rather than a database, for metadata.

Like you say, if you store information in the Library, you can't take it with you easily (witness iTunes Music Libraries). If you store it inside bundles, searching a drive of 100,000+ files becomes impractical. You need some kind of central serv…

I read about the Plan 9 project once, and what it was about. Basically, breaking down the concept of an "OS" to its simplest concepts. One of those is "An operating system aims to represent everything as a file." Looking at Unix like systems f…

CompSci sucks. I'd rather be a drug****ed highschool dropout singing in a band than completing a B.IT at Uni. Intellectual Challenges are overrated. Barto

Microsoft promises way more than they deliver with every OS release. Windows 95 was going to make Windows a modern OS. It didn't. Windows 2000 was going to be modern AND fully compatible. It wasn't. Windows XP was going to have a totally new interfa…

You would run Linux to run Linux. In other words, you have software that has been designed for Linux that you need to run. Possibly software designed for Linux clusters (using Terrasoft's Black Lab). So you buy Linux. It's that simple. Not all…

In addition to that, there is the future potential for more feature rich firmware than Apple. For example, ogg and flac support, basic visualisers, support for displaying long text and HTML files... the list goes on.

Evidently, some people haven't grasped the concept of individual opinions. Judging by the number of files transferred - 2.5 Million a week vs 50 Million a week - a lot of people have the individual opinion that P2P is the better way to get music. In…

Everyone already knows it's my opinion by virtue of the fact that I said it, no need to restate the obvious you dopey twat. Barto
