Google has lock-in with search, and Facebook has lock-in with social networking Argh, how does Google have lock-in with search? The minute Google stops delivering relevant results, you can switch search engines with practically no cost.

Django is just a Python package. You don't need root to install it, you just need it to be on your Python path. If they have virtualenv installed that's probably the easiest way to do it. Otherwise, look here: http://groups.google.com/grou

People who can code in the world of technology companies are a dime a dozen and get no respect Wow, where have you been coding? I am not as proficient (and DEFINITELY not as prolific) as you are, but I've only had that feeling once workin

Really? I'm a linux user, but I bought an OpenMoko phone despite knowing it's pretty much going to be a paperweight. I bought an ugly keychain from RMS when he was in KL. I own a couple of Android phones. I could have saved some money on my
