   The installation with Ubuntu Natty was as painless as it could be. Grub2 with EFI support worked right away. What distribution/kernel combination are you using? I had a few strange kernel oopses with 2.6.39 kernels, that seemed to be SATA r

   The wireless performance and connectivity is really horrible. I blame the proprietary driver for that, tough. Since I followed the workaround described here [0], I'm not getting any more Xorg crashes. However, I suffered from very high grap

   I wish I had known about that pinhole before. After my last kernel panic I waited for 5 hours to let it run out of battery.

   Embarrassment or not, I'm surprised by that. This is a big deal and the first time we hear about it is after someone took a closer look at the headers.

   Bitcoin is not money on the bank, but cash. If your wallet is stolen, the bank will not refund you, either. You can, however, go to the police and that is what the victim here is doing as well. There is, of course, a much lower chance of ca

    I'm either not having the problem you described or it's not related to the OS. - Youtube is horrible for me to watch in Germany, but that's the carrier's problem. - I'm a ruby user, but not a developer, so I can't tell much about that. - Do

    > Fast is nice, but stable is better. I agree. The graphics system is basically the only part where I'm envious of windows users. As far as I know, since vista the graphics driver can crash without tearing down the rest of the graphical

    If I understand it correctly, it's targeted against the NATO alliance's "act of war" against hackers.

    I doubt many users do that kind of distinction between low and high security sites. Watching my mother I don't believe she got more than one password at all and that's the sort of user that is affected the most by these attacks.

    I couldn't find any argument on why it will not work. It gives some reason why it can't work right now, but the service is five days old.

    Agreed. When I started using python I thought that I would miss protected/public methods, but I was wrong. Conventions are the better solution and make testing incredibly easier.

    I wonder how hard it would be to port redis and how it performance would compare.

    I guess this wasn't meant as a feature comparison between both tools but as proof that it is possible to create fully transparent tools for sharing encrypted data across the internet.

    Doesn't it require Silverlight? I doubt you can easily install Moonlight on Chrome OS. EDIT: I just saw that they provide a crx version of the plugin, so it should be possible.

    I'm having a few nodes running at VPS.net, but in direct comparison linode seems to offer more for the money. Does someone have experience with both and could compare them?

    I had an SSD from SuperTalent last year. It didn't even last 2 months before massive filesystem corruptions started. Two weeks later it wasn't even recognized anymore by the SATA controller.
