   My thought exactly. Unless I'm misunderstanding, the only benchmark in which Linode came out in front was the Apache static page one and that was the closest of all the tests. Based on this DigitalOcean is a run-away winner which is a bit s

   There's an interesting article at http://accidentalnoise.sourceforge.net/minecraftworlds.html about minecraft-like terrain generation. It uses PolyVox ( http://www.volumesoffun.com/polyvox-about/ ) to do the rendering at the end.

   The simplest solution to a similar problem (a single hanging word in a headline) that I've seen is to replace the 'space' between the last two works with an   This forces the last two words to stay together as a unit. It can be aut

   The important thing to realise about the GPL's freedom is that it is not so much "freedom for the developer" as preserving "freedom of the user". To keep software in the ecosystem free and to allow any user to see the source code of a piece

   I'm confused by Ubuntu being called out as specifically having "great [..] hardware compatibility". I've been using SUSE for 10 years now and I've never had a single peripheral which didn't work out the box. This is down to the great work o

   I believe companies usually claim back 'stolen' domains with trademark claims. I wonder if the his claim that it's "Michel in Guides" will do anything to hold this claim at bay.

    I can't stand the fact that the author is using "X" and "*" as multiplication symbols when we have × and · provided by Unicode. It makes the text much uglier than needed.

    You should look into using their Cascades toolkit. It's based on Qt/QML so anything you learn there will be useful for desktop Linux, Windows, Mac, Ubuntu Phone, Sailfish, Plasma Active and also for Android and iOS soon. It's a worthwhile i

    I think that OpenStreetMap is certainly more detailed. Look at the comparison at http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=mapnik&mt1=googlemap&#... Especially since OSM's map has been there for ages now.

    Does anyone here have any experience with Cherokee ( http://www.cherokee-project.com/ )? I've heard good things about it but the fact that it's not represented in this test makes me think that it's not as widely regarded as others.

    "hundreds of megabytes of KDE runtimes" is absolute FUD. libkde4core is 2.5MB on my system here. Even all the KDE libraries that you would need are only going to be in the 10s of MB. Did you actually do a test to see how much you would need

    I've been very impressed with The Bug Genie ( http://www.thebuggenie.com/ ) recently. It covers everything I need from a bug tracker and project management tool and is open source too.
