   Oh man... it would make Radio Shack awesome again. I might actually visit one of those stores on the way home. The parts might be more expensive, but if it saves me a trip to China, I'd do it.

   You forget that init executes as root, and is therefore able to spawn root children.

   Ah, but how does this Superuser.apk achieve root privileges? By calling the setuid root `su` program, you say. And how does this setuid root program actually gain root privileges? Why, the OS is able to execute arbitrary code with arbitrary

   I'd just take the free pencil... and use it when my current pencil runs out. What would you do with an extra copy of Xcode?

   That's exactly what an OS is.

    Awesome stuff. I linked to a Python version of the same thing on the blog. Somehow, I don't think the DaFont.com admins would be very happy with this stuff floating around xD

    If they're extinct, then they'd probably be not as fit as the extant animals. The only place for them would be the zoo, and some people might consider that cruel.

    So like, I think our current drive to re-architect Firebug is on the right track, but I could not obtain another year of support from IBM to contribute to that work. Clearly, he would have stayed if either IBM or Mozilla offered

    It appears that this might start to turn around now...

    Well, it boils down to money, and Google's got it. I'd call that a major win for Google ;)

    If you'd like each user to run PHP as himself/herself, you'd need at least a separate process per user. Depending on your use case, this may be expensive.

    How does the Android version work? Does it bundle a Python executable?

    NTVDM is useful, but only for the most basic software. For example, many programs do not work on NTVDM because of the limited audio and video support. You mentioned games, and I believe some of them suffer from timing issues (though this ma

    Those pages load very slowly for me, but I like the idea. It might be experiencing unusual load. Let's use a CDN instead. http://kivy.org.nyud.net/

    It depends on what you use to report CPU usage. Many monitoring tools stick with 100%/core, but some normalize it.

    If you do use mysql, you're in luck... here's a pure python client module that can easily be monkey-patched for gevent/eventlet: http://code.google.com/p/pymysql/

    You know more about thrift than I do. If the "blocking" code is in python, eventlet should be able to fix it. You can't do anything about the native machine code, though. It appears that the client library includes a c-based codec to improv

    I use pymongo with gevent. A small hack is necessary to prevent pymongo from making a new connection for each thread that accesses mongodb (because with gevent, you can have a massive number of threads). I'd imagine the same is true with ev
