I was under the impression that most Linux contributors were actually paid by some other employer who happened to use the Linux kernel in their own products and contributed their patches and drivers back upstream. That said, there are stil

That plain yogurt is still sweetened in most American brands, just without the extra flavors like strawberry or key lime added.

I'll second that. Although you can get a similar simplicity in many other distros, however, what really makes Arch great for me is the community; they have one of the best wikis I have ever seen.

I know exactly what you mean about time spent on admin tasks in Gentoo; I myself experienced the same when I switched my personal dev machine from Gentoo to ArchLinux. I still wouldn't blame Gentoo for the kernel issues, however. It seems

Did loading this page take 30+ seconds for anyone else? Other than the insane load times, this is a pretty interesting sounding project. It's like a manually maintained version of Qubes' ( http://qubes-os.org ) application domains, except

It seems to me that your kernel issues are more related to your predecessor's failures as an admin than to Gentoo. Nothing you can do on Gentoo can't be done on most distributions, including poorly-done kernel upgrades.

Raped on a daily basis? Really? Your opinion would have more weight if you left out the histrionics.

While the name seems like a poor choice given all of the previous technology like telegraphic exchanges, this research project looks interesting. Capable of transferring HD flash video through real-world firewalls in place in China, it loo

While I agree with you, I don't believe that the current culture of college admissions agrees. In my (anecdotal) experience, most universities in the US value the kid who volunteered at all the politically correct places, took all the righ

I'm a little confused about what you're suggesting here. Examples, perhaps?

This is definitely paranoia-inducing. It had a record of one of my addresses from December 2010.

It's too bad the site doesn't seem to have seen any love in a while. Last update to the main page there was over a year ago and a few of the external links seem to be broken.

Awesome! Here's to hoping it will all be positive news.

If you end up finding enough interest, it would be awesome to know how this works out. Any chance you will write about this more in the future? Also, this is when I wish that I was in the bay area instead of Middle-of-Nowhere, Midwest.

Indeed. The way that the conclusion was worded would (if I did not know better) have had me believing that C was a relatively new language rather that the common precursor to most modern languages.

I'm no graphic designer, but the blank space above the third column in the grid of comics is really distracting until I scroll it off the top of the screen. That aside, I really like the strong grid.

But as a search engine for browsing/research prior to purchasing, it works great. Back when Modista was still operational, I myself bought three or four pairs of shoes that were either discovered or inspired by discoveries made while brows

I'm seeing what I'm pretty sure is an error when I view your page: http://imgur.com/TkFNr . Just thought you might like the heads up. I'm running Chromium 10.0.648, btw.
