So I've not done business in Warsaw myself (as I said I'm in the Bay Area), I've been there and I know of quite a lot of activity going on. Internet is ubiquitous, everyone I met there had Internet, and it seems most cafe's did too. I'm not

We use Django, Linux (Ubuntu for both servers and developer machies), PostGIS database, memcache, Apache, etc. and of course Eclipse, Trac, etc. etc. Haven't reached 1M hits per day yet, but I'm about to experience a bit of preemptive load

Warsaw Poland! I live in San Francisco, but I have to say: Warsaw is a super cosmopolitan city (though half of that is Turks), still relatively affordable, very high level of education, and it's the fastest growing economy in Europe. Not to

That's a good summary. I'm going to encourage my competitors to keep thinking like that. If I'm lucky they'll be sufficiently slowed down, and kept out of touch with the market needs of most users (who will have kept upgrading) that it won'

Thank you for posting this... I often ignore doing updates because they're just not as interesting as other things I'm doing. This kicked my butt into gear to install the updates.

Seriously? I hate trolls like you. A lot of us work really hard on making it the best damn platform ever, and it is, and then some quack who doesn't know anything says "it's just like Windows 95" which shows that they didn't even bother to

Ditto. I do mostly Django development, so I'm tied to 2.6 for the moment, but I'll upgrade the second that I can. Also, Ubuntu ships with 2.6 and I'm too lazy to switch

Do scheduling tools in a web framework protect you from having to write threading code yourself? Or is it for a completely separate kind of side-process than when I would want to write threads in my web app code? Also, is that like Quarts i

Is this your startup? I would definitely upvote this on reddit or digg... but I don't think it fits in on hacker news.

While I agree that we should be skeptical towards the noise Wikileaks is making, we should always be skeptical towards the noise any government is making. Since Wikileaks is one of the best tools with which to take a skeptical look at the h

Have you tried the new Ubuntu One Music store? It's not bad to start with and is rapidly improving. Plus offers cool features like cloud storage of your music collection (ultra-portable, take your music wherever you go).

hey, OP here: Can anybody confirm this? Even if it's not true, it's a brilliant idea for a business model to increase ad revenues of a service. Also, Has anybody found the 10x figure for people clicking on pictures to be true?
