Linux The FAT file system is the file system used by MS-DOS and earlier versions of Windows. It's a relatively simple and straightforward file system, supported by just about any operating system, making it the favoured file system on memory cards and the like. FAT is an ECMA and ISO standard, but these only apply for FAT12 and FAT16 without support for long file names, and therein lies a problem.

When in doubt, rather than addressing what I raise the parasites of OSNews.com come out and silence a critic - why aren't I surprised. All talk about freedom but when it comes to descenting ideas its all ok to ambush and beat up the me.

Kroc, you want to know why the quality of submissions and readers have decreased - the moderation system speaks for itself; where organised mobs can silence a single opinion.

Only to those who prefer to have a group censored view presented to them.

I don't believe in plus/minus moderation with level selection. If you follow the default, at best you get non-controversial light conversation, at worst you get the lowest common denominator blah blah.

So I always select the lowest level possible to view what people say.

On the other hand, if had to vote on your post, it would have gone down. It was an off-topic adhominem at Lemur.
