A better ext4 filesystem for Linux
Linux's ext4 filesystem, the successor to ext3, may well be the filesystem many of us are using a few years from now. Things have been relatively quiet on that front - at least, outside of the relevant mailing lists - but the ext4 developers have not been idle. Some of their work has now come to the surface with Ted Ts'o's posting of the ext4 merge plans for 2.6.25. One of the changes going into ext4 is a lifting of the longstanding 4KB block size limit. That does not mean that just any block size works, though, and this feature will benefit fewer people than one might think, for one specific reason: the block size must still be no larger than the page size on the host system. So those of us running x86 systems with 4KB pages will be stuck with 4KB blocks still. And, on any system, the maximum block size is now 64KB.
January Job Vacancy Data Points Towards More Labor Market Slowing, The ...
NEW YORK, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- In January there were 3,362,500 online advertised vacancies, a largely seasonal decline of 5 percent from December, according to The Conference Board Help-Wanted OnLine Data Series(TM) released today. Over the year, online advertised vacancies were up 7 percent for the nation as a whole. There were 2.2 advertised vacancies online for every 100 persons in the labor force in January. "Job seekers may have to pound the pavement a bit harder to find the right job," said Gad Levanon, Economist at The Conference Board. "These data suggest that the slow pace of labor demand will continue in the months ahead and may even slow further." The monthly decline in January from the December level was in line with the seasonal dip expected during the holiday season.
Timeless church mural now running out of time
Jon Pounds traipsed through the winter mud and goose dung Tuesday morning to look up at the front wall of the little brick church the way an entomologist might gaze at an endangered butterfly.
"It's now or never for this piece," he said.
If you've driven down Clybourn or Larrabee near what's left of the Cabrini-Green housing project, you can't have missed the Northside Stranger's Home Church. It startles. It mystifies.

Can Someone Channel Ron Paul Supporter Energy For Good Instead Of ...
I hope you get robocalled every ten minutes between now and the primaries, have your door knocked on every ten seconds, and have your car covered from end to end in bumper stickers. (reply to this comment) (link to this comment) some more info: by Pneal on Dec 7th, 2007 @ 1:36pm Dear Tom, The spam that was going around from this bot had tiny url links to Ron Paul youtube videos. Youtube has a habit of deleting videos that spam links to; thus, the end effect of the botnet was to have Ron Paul videos deleted, and annoy a lot of people about Ron Paul. Anyone with the savvy to create a bot would know these would be the results; thus, your argument that it was a Ron Paul fan (or fans) creating the bot is an error; Ron Paul fans didn't do the bot or the spam. I'll grant you that yes, many internet supporters of RP are annoying, and i don't agree with the spamming of windshields either.
Zippo executive discusses state funding, job creation
In February 2005, Gov. Ed Rendell came to town with money in hand — almost $11 million — for Impact Bradford.Of that, $1.27 million was earmarked for Zippo Manufacturing Co. to aid in the development of a new butane lighter. With it, Zippo said 105 jobs would be created. Now, almost three years later, $818,629 was paid to Zippo and the lighter — ZippoBLU — has just hit the marketplace. On the surface, the total number of Zippo employees has not gone up. How is that?Zippo Chief Executive Officer Greg Booth talked with The Era Saturday morning to explain how the 75-year-old company — known for its windproof lighters — received the money and how business has fared since 2005.That money, Booth said, came "after meetings with the governor discussing Impact Bradford" with all Impact Bradford partners involved."We discussed building a butane lighter in Bradford and generate 105 new jobs," he said Saturday.
