I have been using a stand-up desk for about 6 years now. One advantage that is not always mentioned, is that when tackling a tough problem, it actually encourages you to pace around the room a bit. In my experience, the increased blood flow

Maybe slightly off-topic here, but are there plans to eventually merge Big Couch upstream into Couch core?

Why all the downvotes? Is it really true that NOBODY understands REST or HTTP?

Also, it should be mentioned that it has over 30k functions. Some of these are so obscure, that if you happen to only use one of these functions, the high monthly cost could be justified.

A word of caution... Django should always be installed from Pip. Avoid easy_install, apt and yum.

Well, it doesn't negate your statement. apt-get is still a great way to install nginx.
