Default to keep newer file during installs?

: Deja.com still owned Usenet and not Google. Seriously? I thought that Usenet was one of those big amorphous co-operatives that is not owned by any single firm. Am I wrong? I thought it was one of those things that's unstoppable short of bombing the backbone, the main high- capacity internet links. |

It's incorrect to say that deja.com "owned" usenet. Nobody ever "owned" usenet. Now, maybe someone does or did once own domains such as "usenet.com" or "usenet.net", etc, but that's not the same thing. Deja maintained their own historical repository of usenet posts, and you could say that they "owned" that repository, but anyone else could have their own similar repository containing many of the same posts without being in conflict with deja. Lookup deja or dejanews or google-groups in wikipedia. You'll get the full history and details there. |

Google Groups is one of the Banes of Usenet, gets people in thinking it's some kind of forum, and making mistakes that annoy long-time users. Deja and Google are basically portals. And the error comes mainly from trying to convince people they're putting the ocean into the bowl instead of pouring the bowl into the ocean! I imagine they do it because it's easier to sell a gated community if you can convince the residents that the riff-raff are somehow 'outside'. |

: and we know what 32 does. I saw a LOT of 8's... (I'm assuming you mean 40 decimal, as hex 40 is decimal 64 and is also documented. What's baking my noodle right now is the difference between bit 5 and bit 6 (flags = 32, and 64 respectively). The descriptions seem to suggest that 5 allows a file copy only if the source is newer, and 6 allows it only if the destination is older, i.e. unlike 5 no copy occurs if the versions are the same (could be useful to allow hacked versions to remain in place). I tried all the tests I can think of, and the behaviour seems to be identical with bit 5. |
