Yes, ok, he is 18, that's true, so my post is probably a bit harsh. But still, if he keeps that attitude he'll be 30 or 40 and use Django in a time where everyone has moved on to new stuff(tm).

yes, agreed. Those were examples. Talking about low level OS basics or POSIX or whatever is the same. What i wanted to say is that so many people never seem to get out of a very tiny skillset, for years. It's the worst people to work with,

Sure i have. As most web developers (i imagine) i started writing my first page in PHP, hardcoded passwords in a .php file which did also output HTML, it was "awesome" :P Deploying PHP also means updating database schemas or configuring .ht

It clearly mentions that it returns a string and that data is binary data. As everywhere in python, when it fails, it raises an Exception.

Strange read. That guy used PHP for years and seemed to have fully ignored modern web development, he was baffled by using an ORM?! To be honest, i would never contract this guy to do some web work for me (he's is some freelancer of some so

How do i switch the tabs?

I have the feeling that many people are distracted by the bad video. The terminal actually looks like this: http://www.bestubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/eae91__... It's very clean and nice looking... I don't understand how this

I'm wondering.. when i hit ctrl-shift-t it seems to open a new terminal? Atleast i get a new prompt.. but no way to switch?

I had theefl-trunk installed before, but ppa-purge didn't remove everything, i suppose. Went through libe* libraries and purged whatever came from e17. Installed again.. working now, woohooo!

Why would it be absurd? Do you use a monochrome display? Because, let's face it, black/white is all you need. Or green/white.

I really, really like terminology (as i like Enlightenment), but i am waiting until it supports Tabs, the only thing missing for me. As to all the "uhh, i don't want additional stuff" comments: There is no reason a terminal emulator can loo

There is a big miscalculation: Graphene seems to be extremely light weight. 1 liter of graphene will definitely not weight 1kg. Wikipedia [1] only gives measures for m²: Graphene is very light, weighing only about 0.77 milligrams per square

I think it's time for me to switch from Ubuntu to LMDE. Lately i was thinking a lot about Canonical and the many decisions they did, which i disagreed with (i don't like Unity, i don't like the Mir "disaster", i think efforts should be comb

You don't seem to understand that i am all for open standards but against a monopoly, against so called "standards" that are defended by use of patents instead of innovation. The MPEG-LA is forcing a standard on people by misuse of patents.

Yes, and i should trust in that source? haha, of course! The point is that the whole conglomerate of companies is enough power to prevent competition and innovation (from the outside), to dictate prices, to dominate a whole market with what

In another comment i mentioned installing apache, php, mysql and configuring all that as an ancient way that i was able to tolerate years ago, but not nowadays and not for a quick, single-user installation. Nowadays you can easily have a we

Do you have a source for "tiny royalties"? How much does MPEG-LA earn in a year? A few millions per licensing company here, a few hundred thousand per video site there.. It adds up!

by buster 14y ago
There will never be an alternative the way it is today. One of the reasons the MPEG-LA exists is to prevent and supress competition, don't you think? The whole concept is bullshit. I tell you how i see it: In a world without MPEG-LA (even w

Is it too far fetched to wonder if Nokia is fighting on behalf of MS? In the end Nokias CEO comes from MS, Nokia is very dependant on MS nowadays and MS has a strong interest in H264, is a member of MPEG-LA and earns money from every H264 l

Ah, sounds great. I think you should really advertise those packages more! To be honest the 5.0 installation guide still looks terribly long. No way i would go through that again. BUT now there are packages.. hopefully for 5.0 soon.

Some years back i was able to tolerate when a webapp needed serious fiddling in a) apache configs, b) php configs and c) manual mysql database setup. Nowaday i expect something to run and have as few steps to install as possible. It wasn't

I much rather think that the observation "germans don't jaywalk" did fit into your pre-existing prejudices about germans, because obviously all germans are tidy, always on time, accurate, law-abiding and what not ;) Three weeks looking arou

Missing the point is that you try to think of an explanation but missing most obvious reasons (like preventing kids to run in front of cars). Beginning the sentence with "The Germans" when you have only been in one city feels kind of offens

Ahh come on, that's just trying to see a lot more in psychology then there really is. I'm from Berlin and many people DO jaywalk. BUT they don't (and i don't) when there are kids around. And unless it's night there are kids around more oft
