Have not tried yet, but thanks for the link! Salt seems to be comparable to Mcollective - except, where Mcollective uses middleware (ActiveMQ or RabbitMQ or Apollo) which comes with its own server (broker), Salt uses ZeroMQ, with a built-in

Web browsers usually allow the user to change a site's look quite a lot. Try applying a custom stylesheet, or perhaps Readability.

The commercial products Tunnelier and SecureCRT can do this for shell windows and their bundled sftp clients. Didn't check if they can support third-party tools like git. But even for shells, I went back to PuTTY anyway -- It came down to c

Ah, dear old WebSphere MQ. Generally awful, bad high-availability story unless you invest in heavy-handed clustering at the OS level. Great for enterprise integration if there's a mainframe around, I suppose. Documentation: quantity over qu

Yes, streaming doesn't sound like queueing, but both JMS (and many vendors implement JMS) and AMQP support some form of streaming. Of course, in combination with high availability, YMMV.

We still need light to read :) I don't use a kindle or any tablet, but have read hundreds of ebooks on my phones (Nokia + Mobipocket, Android + FBReader or the Kindle app). The books are always with me, and it's more convenient for reading

Most people don't seem to understand this until they encounter it on a close and personal level -- as rms has.

These restrictions are not only preventing "cool features", they are preventing progress. You seem resigned to that fate, but I for one am not.

Oh I know :) Luckily, I only had to maintain a little MS Access frontend, the type of thing that everyone does once in their lifetime.

Are you of the opinion that the problems with the Scala type system are unfixable?

Thanks for the links! I encountered the Omniscient Debugger (2nd link) several years ago, but then lost it somehow...

I asked him if he ever uses emacs now. His answer was mostly what nswanberg posted above/below. No more emacs. BTW, on Clojure, he merely stated that he used up his lifetime's quota of parentheses while completing his Ph.D.

He uses Dropbox. I've seen the icon on his Macbook Pro :)

My first ever real job was as a data entry operator, when I was about 19. By this time I'd worked with Windows 95, 98, 3.11, NT 4, and had been using Linux exclusively on the home PC ~ 2 years. Whenever one of us made a mistake in data entr

Oh man. You're hitting human stupidity. Not easy to escape that. I used to be an OpenVMS sysadmin. Now I administer enterprise middleware -- ESBs. Just like getting booted from Eden.

I'm an admin, and certainly can relate to what Abby says. However, I can also code in half a dozen languages, and often fix things with a few lines of expect and shell, where our enterprise java cowboys would demand a new server with a java
