Not for a couple of months - I need to get my startup in beta first, but the sysadmin tutorial site is next on my to-do list. I read the "stracing ls" article (I think it was posted here), which was fascinating reading. I am planning to wri

On a related note, I am planning to start a site dedicated to Linux sysadmin tutorials. They will be in-depth guides on how to achieve a particular result, rather than quick "How to..." guides. For example, some of the first posts will be:

Three minutes seems like a long time in terms of a signup process. Do you have to take all of this info during signup? Is it possible to give them an account without this info, then get them to add more piece by piece? Some game mechanics

Hmm, interesting. My monitor (Samsung P2770) has a menu option to enable grayscale, which I have just switched on. I am not sure that I could use this permanently but it does seem to be easier on the eyes. The icon in my taskbar that is cur

I do not think that is a fair comment, nor is it constructively phrased. These themes are equal in quality to loads of the ThemeForest templates. While not perfect, I am not sure they should have been rejected. OP... a big gap in the ThemeF

How would you prevent a restaurant from reporting all of their competitors? What happens when a restaurant subpoenas you for the personal details of someone who posted a derogatory report? I find kmort's suggestion interesting - using Twitt

I would recommend Asterisk. You can set up "hunt groups" so that Asterisk will try to route the call to one of your volunteers. However, you would need multiple phone lines, otherwise your callers will be greeted with a "busy" tone. In the

Yes, it is very easy to interact with databases from Python. There are libraries available for all of the popular DB engines, as well as great database abstraction layers like http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ Depending on how much of a non-prog

Hi riskish, If you are serious, I would love to take you up on that offer. I am currently working on a prototype for my gameing-related startup, and could really do with some design expertise. My email is in my profile if you would like to

Have you looked at AWS's DevPay? http://aws.amazon.com/devpay/ If your customers could provide you with an image of their server you could add that to your AWS account, and then bill them through DevPay for their usage. However, there mig
