Ugly and difficult to read in Win 7 in both Opera, Firefox, Chrome and IE8. It's especially unreadable in Opera and Firefox, especially in the shaded Note bits where half the font pixels appear to be missing. Looks like a combination of su

If it's expensive, then why not reflect that by providing it to people who pay for their accounts?

Not that I've noticed. I just checked a bunch and most of my Ruby daemons have been running since early May, though some are busier than others. Of course if you're the type to install random C extensions from github you might not always b

We have also progressed from restrictive DRM measures on video games to the decidedly anti-DRM stance of major game publishers today. Er, have we now? We've progressed from kernel mode drivers with disc checks to kernel mode drivers with

Perhaps there isn't a way to get the others, which I suppose would be in line with Python, which doesn't supply a string method to find all occurrences at once... but how do I offset it? Yes, there's no way to get the other matches using

Maybe you could consider a pre-commit hook which blocks /^\s* \t/ on * .py? Or if nothing else it's simple enough to grep/ack for. I'd also recommend making indentation whitespace visible if your editor supports it - it is syntax after all

" now my interest is peaked. " Piqued. Unless this is the most interest you've ever given Opera ;) Going open source would be cool, but given the nature of the comment on that page, my money's on something like an embedded webserver, with

> How would you implement a swap on such a filesystem? You couldn't, could you? Why not? It's just a filesystem with layout that's a bit different to most, users of the filesystem should be completely oblivious to it. Swap just needs a

Speaking of statistics, FreeBSD comes with a tool called "ministat", which accepts a bunch of input files filled with numbers and tells you how statistically significant the difference is between them. It's frequently used to demonstrate p

Yup, pretty much; if you have more than one vdev in a pool (mirror, RAIDZ, whatever), ZFS will stripe over them, varying what goes where depending on how fast it thinks they are. I've heard reports of ZFS doing things like putting more data

FreeNAS has some ZFS support, I believe: "ZFS integration has been done in 0.7, so it is possible to create pools and datasets via WebGUI.", from an old entry at http://freenas.blogspot.com/ Unfortunately ZFS depends on the Solaris fault

I think ECC memory is a good idea if you can get it; turning memory errors from "random data corruption and crashes" into "harmless fmd/syslog messages" is pretty nice, and last time I looked, would add about £5 to a 4GB DDR2 system. Of cou

> everybody is already running 1.9 (yarv)? Nope, no more so than everybody is already running Python 3. It's only for pthread linkage, anyway; it's avoiding a 30% performance loss, not giving everyone a 30% performance gain.

They sound exactly like PayPal. When they closed my account, I had about 100,000 successful payments, my own "personal account manager" and all that jazz. One day they noticed we had an adult section and closed our account without any war

It's not the webserver, it's Rails; prior to 2.2 it used a Big Giant Lock around the dispatcher, so it would serialize requests. Of course, even without that Ruby itself will only use a single CPU, since the interpreter itself has a Big Gia

In *BSD you can use fsdb to link an inode to a directory, ala: -# fsdb /dev/ufs/foo > inode 424242 # inode number of the target directory > ln 821339 myimportantfile You might also need to do "inode 821339" and "upl

I dare say they have a bunch of licensed code in there that they'd have to find and remove; why would they invest the resources? By keeping it closed they also leave open the possibility of them bringing it back at some point in the future

Dark on light, always. Specifically, I use #0d2a3a as my background; a nice dark blue I find a bit more pleasing than just black.

Shame it's massively overpriced for what it is. The only reason I bought it was it was sub-£20 from Amazon at the time, and even that's pretty steep unless they're planning some epic free expansions for it.

Isn't VB.NET lots faster than VB by virtue of targeting a fully blown JITing VM? That's a damn good "yes, but".

What's their LOM like? I can't say I've been impressed with cheapo IPMI cards which (attempt to) piggyback off the on-board ethernet.
