problems caused by Windows hibernation?
 
Should I expect a hibernation state for the Windows partition to interfere with Linux's startup? While I was trying out Fedora Core, I briefly saw some error message indicating that Windows in hibernation posed a problem. If hibernation interferes, then Linux really needs to get around that, because hibernation is too useful to give up. I could never believe that back when I was trying to install the ACPI/suspend/whatever, someone told me that I shouldn't bother and that turning it off every time was better.

Hibernation would not mess up anything in Linux(from starup to filesystem) but if you have mounted read-write your windows partition and you alter the data in that partition ,you may lose data. This is because , hibernate simply stores the memory content in the harddisk, and some files also gets cached.
Long ago, I hibernated my windows system, took out the harddisk, and copied some files to the disk. After I reinstalled the harddisk, Windows did not show any new files, and
the harddisk failed soon after(bad sectors).

Entropy can't be reversed. Just ask the Logopolitans.

Another Dr. Who fan?
If only we could have some working CVEs!

Somebody said to me a long time ago(maybe my high school teacher) that only God can reverse entropy.That meant that we are eventually doomed(actually when I say we, I mean our grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-etc-children).
So I became interested in entropy.

So I read and read and read science books and stuffs, and I read and read and read fiction and some real crap. One of those sci-fi stories caught my attention.
As you may know ,there is a famous story by this guy about entropy, called The Last Question
,or rather about how computers did eventually reversed entropy. Thereby, playing as I should put it, playing God.
If you have not read it ,maybe you should!

Entropy doesn't scare me, because the world will end long before the universe does.
