   My point entirely. My company uses IaaS to develop SaaS platforms or are they PaaS. Hmm. Sounds like bullshit. I'd love to see a Venn diagram that actually defines these marketing terms. IMHO computers is computers.

   I have personally known two masons and they have said on many an occasion that they are obliged under their oath to do what their seniors request regardless of the law and they will be protected from prosecution in the course (which they fo

   Now no-one can afford node.js too! (Azure is extremely expensive compared to say EC2 feature-wise).

   Most of the deaths are due to negligence on the part of the police. The concern is that this is intentional negligence which is never properly investigated. The IPCC rarely rule against the police however the legal system are less biased,

   They are recorded as suicides and the doctor and coroner are police appointed ones. There is a huge amount of corruption here in the UK but it's not often talked about because the people involved are very powerful (most of them are also Ma

   Stuff changes. Corporates need to get used to that. Add to that the motivation for buying software is usually either a bonus for completing a project or cash backhand from the vendor rather than on the merits of a tool. Also, I know a cert

   Looks horrid. The mockups they did initially were much nicer looking phones: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2011/02/11x021...

    Agreed. I had to migrate a copy of Team City from MySQL to PostgreSQL a few days ago (due to a buggy mysql version in the Ubuntu 10.04LTS package repository). You just don't get crap like that with Postgres. It just works.

    Also damn useful when plugged into NHibernate for bringing up test cases using in memory databases for performance.

    I can't be arsed with all that. Takes too much effort switching around. I have FF5, Firebug, FireQuery, YSlow and Adblock. That is all I need.

    Here's where hosting on EC2 might actually be worth it.

    Had the same problem although Firefox usually crashed before I got a few days out of it.

    That is a fair point. I've always thought that the government should have their own IT agency. The NHS would do well to fire all the paid up consultants and commercial software and start a Google-style technology cooperative and share thei

    Using it now. Looks the same as 4. All add-ons worked fine. Seems a little faster but that might be because my previous firefox process had been up for about 3 days and had gotten all slow.

    Scapegoat. The evidence will appear as and when they need it. This whole thing (this and the supposed census leak) stinks of a false flag operation.

    This is what happens when the marketing team get hold of the concepts before the engineers have worked out if it's possible or not.

    That's actually really nice. I may even part with my faithful Nokia 6303 for one of these.

    I don't think consumers WANT tablets or iPads. They have been told that's what they WANT by marketing. WANT is a disease in this society. NEED is the great leveller. The following is from experience dealing with hundreds of people: They N

    We're using IceWeasel which will, as per Debian's usual policy, still be supported with security fixes.

    I found tmux to be more intuitive and it actually works out of the box in a pleasant manor on both openbsd and debian without acres of configuration. That was enough for me to switch from screen.

    I don't see why this is downvoted. I think people have forgotten the market share out there.

    Have you seen a Spring/Hibernate Java app go pop on top of Glassfish? The STACK TRACE takes more memory than the address space of a 8-bit processor. That's TOO MUCH abstraction demonstrated.

    We replaced 15,000-odd stored procedures with NHibernate. It's the same turd in a different coat.
