The short answer is that packages don't work across distros. Or perhaps I could say they shouldn't be expected to work across distros. The longer answer is that in situations where one distro has descended from another (probably the most we

You're right that there is a lot of choice. But most people who like to use Linux actually see this as a big plus. That may be hard to understand for people who only use Windows. Not that there's anything wrong with using Windows, it's just

Well, he did say: "The Tesla I drove was an engineering prototype but is said to be very close to the one I'll get next year." So I guess he's getting a 2009 model or something.

I agree with other posters. If your one and only goal is to get your site up and running, then for sure stick to what you know... Use straight PHP or a PHP framework. If however, you have the dual goals of getting your site up and running a

But you've just made my point for me. If you, Rand, Brook and anyone else used the word "unparalleled" in place of "perfect" as it relates to this discussion, then at least the majority of our conversation probably wouldn't have taken place

I see your point of view and understand that you will likely continue to hold it regardless of what I say, but none the less, I completely disagree with it. What I'm saying is that even as it relates to aspects of people, or the actions the

I wonder if you met any of these people and told them that you regarded them as perfect, what they would say. I believe anyone truly worthy of the respect that you give to the people on your list would laugh at the thought of themselves or

Not being intimately familiar with her works, I can only take your word for this. If that is the case, then that seems logical and I have no problem with people being encouraged to do their best. However, that is not the impression that I g

You're putting words in my mouth (or at least attributing meaning to my words that I never intended) and trying to frame the debate. I am not Christian, nor do I count myself as a member of any organised religion. Such concepts as original

Call it exaggeration if you like, but actually I firmly believe exactly this. People are not capable of achieving perfection. Perfection is by definition not achievable. What are the downsides? Well without writing a thesis on the subject,

I'm not going to say that I don't find some of Ayn Rand's ideas interesting, but some of the comments attributed to Yaron Brook in that article are just plain scary. "It seems to me that he's misrepresented what Ayn Rand believes and her i

I would definitely suggest that you not give up development of your idea. As someone else has already said, learn from your competition and make your product better as a result. If the idea you're working on is a good one, then you're almos

Yeah, Debian if anything has always had a reputation of being a little more of a purists distro, which is well deserved. It has a large commitment to the ideals of free software, which is personified in the Debian Social Contract and the De

Why not Debian?? I mean if you're considering Ubuntu, why not try the original? I use Debian as my main development box for exactly the kind of work that you're thinking of doing and I love it. With Debian you will learn more about Linux th

And here I was thinking that the Baldwin effect was some kind of theory possibly resembling or in some way modelling the interactions between Alec Baldwin and his brothers.

Looking for more information on this project, I come across this Wiki entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra_Project I thought this was somewhat amusing considering some of the conspiracy theories surrounding FaceBook.

Well I guess it depends on what you're doing. I have experience with both Drupal and Joomla to name a couple. I like Drupal, I don't like Joomla. Just my subjective experience. If what you're doing is really left of field, then yeah, probab

Agreed. I knew there was a good reason why I have never put anything of any real value on FaceBook... Or any social networking site for that matter. The only reason I even joined up on FaceBook to begin with is that a friend invited me, and

Yes, the G15 is a little big, If there was another keyboard that had the same feel when typing, but was smaller, it would be cool. There's the newer G15 that they've got as well now, which appears to be slightly smaller... Thought probably

Yep, can't say enough good things about the fUnc Surface 1030, it's the best mouse pad I've ever owned. Yeah I guess it is expensive for a mouse pad, but I think it's so worth it. I have also had mine for some years and it's still just as g

For my main desktop PC, I have for some time now had a Logitech G5, which I love. Coupled with my fUnc Surface 1030 mouse pad, it's awesome. Super light buttons and super smooth movement. I also have a Logitech G15 keyboard to go with, whic

I thought this was the whole point behind "graceful degradation". If an AJAX based site does not degrade to still be useable/accessible when JS is off or unavailable, then it's not that well desgined to begin with.

Even though every screen I use on a daily basis runs at least 1280x1024, in general, I still tend to work off 1024x768 as my baseline. My feeling is that - as with 800x600 - I will likely stick with 1024x768 as the baseline for a little lon

Lately we've been looking at geolocation stuff as well. Adside from MaxMind, we contacted IP2Location and Quova (never heard back from Quova). We are not in the US and were looking for a service that could provide geolocation to a more deta
