I agree on a lot of things, except LDAP. Of course, it sounds like the ideal way, but in practice, there's a matter of scale to take into account. Frankly, you need a lot of developers and servers before investing the time to setup a ldap

Arch is very good if you run it as your main system and keep it updated very frequently. Forget it for six months (because it's an unused multiboot, or whatever) and try to do an upgrade, and it might be more painful. I got burnt by the gli

Any background on who "Conformal Systems" are and why they would operate exit nodes ? I'm not really familiar with who they are and what they do, but they seem to be the only one in the top-25 that isn't either a hosting company or a reside

We need a "hide comments complaining about font" userscript. Seriously, it's the third perfectly fine article I read today where a quite high voted comment (with tons of children comments) is "I hate to be that guy, but your text has bad ke

That's a limitation for people who build apps, not for the users. And it's not even that, it's a limitation for people who build apps and expect to scale them quite a bit, which, given the crowded space, doesn't really happen by accident. T

I'm not sure whether I should be impressed, consterned or scared. It's the sort of things I would love as a developer (Hey ! Portability! Less code to write ! awesome mature toolkits !) and I would never want as an user ( Hey ! It's the sam

You could repeat the same prediction every year, and you'd probably be right everytime.

It depends on the usage. Users have different habits. Firefox's memory usage is a bit less predictable (and can get crazy, especially when you leave badly coded js websites open for days in a row) and there are more situations when you say

You could make the button "Try" a bit more obvious. It's the only uncolored button, I find it a bit weird.

According to the thread on the FreeBSD forums linked here somewhere below, the difference in motherboards is just a difference in report on Linux vs BSD. Other than that, on x86, they seem to compare a PAE-enabled linux kernel to a FreeBSD

I went to the same school, and this reads like an ad, which is amusing. It's not false at all, or misleading, but it's fun to see he had such a nice view of his school years. But the thing is, the issue of college in the US is very differen

It's less about what your company wants you to do, and more about what you need to do to develop your career. If you want to stay on top and keep being employable, you'll have to invest in skills, and I see no reason why your employer would

Are you seriously believing nobody (be it a random app or your phone seller) has ever tracked your GPS history, looked at your media player library (which includes play counts), looked at who you have in your addressbook, etc ? Yet there ar

I believe it is (or was at some point) an option for the iPhone, and a few other phones. I've always found it silly, because in my experience, "Open network" never means "just connect and it will work". At best, you have to agree to a few t

Not directly. More like TCP-like messaging over HTTP. The server needs to understand the websockets protocol. Writing a basic server that strips the websockets part from messages and forwards them to a real TCP server isn't very hard, but i

I'm not sure I see how you can connect to an irc server directly from the browser without some sort of proxy. You can't do TCP from js.

The same can be said of a whole bunch of people, from black hat SEO guys to arms dealers and from social gaming psychologists to the guy in his ice cream truck. That has nothing to do with how one rates the impact of their business on socie

That's what you get when you spend tons of time teaching users that all content is curated and that they can click everywhere safely. I might have had the same reaction, to be honest. When I see a video called "Hot XXX girl" with an allurin

It's not so much a matter of the influence I have as a matter of the government's goal. Protecting me is somehow one of the missions of my government. Even if they tend to be quite bad at it, that still has to be on their minds. The America

We need a cross reference between this and Facebook graph search. For science. (I flagged, also, because this should be told to the guys at Github, not out in the open.) Oh, and of course, Google indexes them. Fantastic.

Most video games, even rated 'mature' for 'strong sexual content', have nothing to do with porn. It means you might see a nipple, and there might be a few seconds of more or less implied sex at some point. That you consider this worse than,

The demand for people with good applied computer science skills in France is very low, from what I have seen, so that's kind of understandable that there are no courses for that. On the one hand, the pure coding and enterprise tasks are g

The core of Objective Caml is awesome, but there is a severe lack of libraries, which is guess is in good part due to the limited number of users, and also to the limited advocacy/marketing done by them (compared to, say, Ruby or Haskell).

I'm sorry, but "Google apparently accepted to pay the fees (even worst since the government is also forcing a decision favorable to the ISPs)" is pure nonsense. You misread your source. The French government doesn't give a damn about peerin
