I use version control AND dropbox. Version control for... controlling versions, and Dropbox for sync and immediate recovery of all my work files should something bad happen. Which did happen about two weeks ago. My laptop let the magic smok

Zing? Not that that really stands a chance of becoming the new standard because of licensing costs.

Why not build it on older, unused hardware, then. It's not going to help to have to go through all the trouble of getting something going on ARM only to have to start over on x86, for example.

And so you assume that the author of the article doesn't know how to optimize his or her blog, ignoring the possibility that he or she does, but didn't do it for intervening reasons. Still has no bearing on the veracity of statements made i

This is an ad hominem argument. His statements about MySQL should be judged on their own merits, regardless of the load times of his blog.

Dave Winer wrote some of the mutually incompatible RSS specs ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS#History ), but not 1.0, which Aaron did work on: http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/spec

Did they pull this off before JRuby?

Or LXDE. But I run Xubuntu personally. Wife's netbook has Lubuntu on it and she's had no problems. Cinnamon's nice, too.

There's a huge difference in searchability for one.

Is that really laudable in this day and age? I mean Java had Unicode support right out the door in 1995. Not that it's a wonderful text processing language, but you'd think 17 years is plenty of time to catch up...

I did that too, but I went the extra step of writing a little Ruby script to switch between them based on the number of outputs xrandr says is connected, and then I bound that to a keyboard shortcut, so I don't have to mess around in the te

It depends on your use case. In the world of preservation, ZFS is a godsend. If you're trying to run a database, copy-on-write is going to defeat you. Not that it isn't possible, but it's surely something you're going to have to work agains
