This is about ownership of your posted items - including videos, pictures, and words... amongst other things. Not so much about privacy -- it's about claiming ownership of your files. Consider Facebook is really just a web host. You upload

Note that this is a pretty old project really... It is at least a second generation db project by the same author. It's a continuation of QDBM by the same author. I think QDBM has been around since the year 2000. Tokyo cabinet has been a

for python loving folks, who don't want to miss out on the fun... you can do this easily with pygame.org too... Or with pyaudio(a good wrapper of portaudio). Also the latest pygame pre-releases include a wrapper for portmidi... so you can

Is the tech recession over? In AU, and UK... Yes. According to various job places, there has been an increase in jobs. A low point was of course September, and October... but things have increased since then. Even newspaper classifies f

This article is deeply flawed. People do pay for linux, and sometimes more than other OS's. So yes, you do get what you pay for. Most commercial applications run just fine on linux. This is because most commercial applications are writte

There's less people writing ruby code. Both in the interpreter itself, and for open source projects using ruby. You can see on that page a graph showing less people are writing ruby code too.

I think the values graph has a bug at the end point... It looks like it is displaying half a month or something -- for every language. For values it still shows a drop for ruby, apart from the bug at the end. ohloh is a website which track

The wiki is the database, built on top of another database. It uses link structure and other document attributes to form different relations. The relations(links) are like the relations in an SQL database. The relations in the wikitext ar

It's a different kind of database. If you think wikipedia is not a complex database then you're sorely mistaken. The SQL schema may not be complex, but everyone knows that wikipedia is made from a wiki -- a different type of database. &#6

I think most people have realised that there's no security at large corporations. For recent proof, look at the thousands laid off at many large corporations (google, yahoo, ms, etc).
