Well, the very distro-specific bunch of scripts in /etc/init.d (or is it /etc/rc.d/init.d/? or /etc/rc.d? or a symlink to ...?) were some kind of tight coupling, too. Plus: This tight coupling did not

The codebase is so small that it's quite easy to take a look to answer the questions: * no networking at all * performance - doing what? * file primitives are implemented purely in Lua, and what is currently there resembles a pre-initi

The support has become awful. At least, what you can see in public is. The "forum support" makes it quite transparent what to expect. Also, it makes it quite transparent with what kind of sysadmins you share your hosting location

Do not forget about Backups. That can easily be the hardest part about the whole project. Sometimes a cheap second server is the easiest approach to that. Arguably, not in the same location.

Stated in such a general way, this is not true. It's just the case that some contractual preventions of reverse engineering might be invalid. But the moment you distribute something, patent laws can become a big problem.

Well, I'm on Windows because I don't bother. It's just my workplace machine, running browsers, terminals (so thanks Babun, will try it out now) and a bit of other stuff I don't need Linux for. Yes, my private notebook ru

Linux is a kernel. It runs the PID 1 process with root permissions. It doesn't ask for anything. The PID 1 process might, though. So it depends on userland. Then, you can parametrize the kernel with the "init=..." boot option

Mike Pall (LuaJIT author, maintainer) makes the point that the case presented isn't close to real applications: http://www.freelists.org/post/luajit/LuaJIT-benchmark,6 And first and foremost, according to Pal

The general availability on the "black" market is a problem, though. It makes authors easier with a status quo that is perceived as really, really bad by those who pay the bills. While information providers in academia (mostly sti

This is about the only political instrument the workers have. And unions are important to provide the infrastructure to allow for strikes. What constitutes the aggressiveness you speak of? "As a german" I see that the political op

No, and that is made clear in the comment. The directive is the supranational law that mandates nations of the EU to create national law, only this is binding and applicable to citizens.

I think it can safely be stated that the law changes makes life easier for "regular" prostitution, i.e. prostitution going by the law. It doesn't criminalize anymore, it doesn't exclude. It's not just about welfare,

Interesting! It might actually have a big impact, given how much in use the page is. And the target audience of php.net is likely to be a good target for keylogger attacks (SSH/SFTP logins and the like to development and production mac

I guess my perspective on this is blurred by me being German, or in a broader context, European. Our institutions are not really known for laying such "traps". I guess it's different in the world of the secret services (as op

I realise that "evidence" is a term with a broader meaning. However, for most of the points brought up, I fail to see how they support the hypothesis that Bitcoin stems from a natsec background. Things like group efforts and maint

The "Open Data" movement is in fact underway. But adaption will be even slower there. When you look at the mess of formats and proprietary tools trying to lock you in in science, it becomes clear why that is. And there's a te

Nitpick: It's current negotiation, not voltage negotiation. As for voltage - 5V is universal with USB. And as for current - I wrote about the matter in another reply to the OP: The problem will be a well-behaved USB device simply won&#

Or implement other identification mechanisms that exist or might evolve. Yes. But in the same run, that might take too much from the port you plug it in mistakingly. If you don't trust the port, you will often not even know what it is.

Yep, I'm probably in that boat, too. I like to say that I have very good "understanding" skills and pretty bad "learning" skills. In school, I hated when we had to learn and recite lyrics. But a well-understood math
