I'm happy that you consider it good enough, I hope it serves you well. About making it a wikibook, I've not explored that option at all till now but I am open to contribution. That is why I chose the OPL for it. I made it into a PDF since I

Actually it hasn't changed that much. My cousins and other kids I know (age group 12-20) still like the newer Corvette's and 911's. Whenever they're putting up a supercar poster, its almost always a Lamborghini, one model or another going b

Y! News and Y! Autos are pretty near (if not) the top of their segments. Mail also has the highest number of registered users. Flickr is a steady revenue stream, and to a lesser extent so is their webhosting package which is now paid only.

This is a really good point. Ballmer may not be the greatest CEO ever, but he does understand Microsoft products and what engineering goes on behind them. His interview in which he made fun of IBM wanting metrics like KLOC and judging quali

Didn't this happen many years ago? Qualcomm had announced its intention around 2006 that Mozilla would be taking over the development of the open source version. If I remember correctly after 5-10 intermediate builds they put up a release i

Ok, that was a little scary as a title considering the URL was raganwald's blog. I had to click it fast to ensure that all was safe. Perhaps a better title, atleast on HN is in order?

From the release notes I see a new 'db' lib has been added which'll work out-of-the-box with PGSQL, MySQL, SQLite and ODBC. No more fetching different PlaneT packages for different databases, plus it has the added benefit of being in the co

Hmmm, that's odd because I bought EditPlus 2.3x for 30$, the price was increased in 3.x. Also v3 was free for all paid customers of 2.x. When did you buy 2.x?

I've heard this argument multiple times that Arch Linux is what you make of it and it really teaches you Linux, but I'm getting older and trying out lesser distro's now. :) However while I admire its passionate community, I'm genuinely curi
