My personal pet peeve is that it doesn't do "s/foo/bar/" anymore in the beta (whereas this does work in the desktop-client and current stable webclient).

If you're into that sort of thing, the SPIE conference in San Jose (this week) is the place to be. And the people to follow. http://spie.org/AL/conferencedetails/alternative-lithographi...

The project has nothing whatsoever to do with Ubuntu. It merely let's you build an own operating system based on a Linux kernel + Busybox. That is it. The kernel. And busybox. It's really cool. But it's not Ubuntu.

firewalld for Ubuntu in the 'universe' repo. Don't use it. It's horrible, unstable, slows network speed and is impossible to debug.

According to the Midori website ( http://midori-browser.org/about/ ) it aligns with the XFCE philosophy, which is a far cry from 'being part of XFCE'. Instead, it states it is the default browser for 'Elem

This had me laughing. Not the FreeBSD bit. That bit is serious. The 'didn't run all the fancy things' bit. That was funny. The problem is: in Linux, pretty soon, you cannot do without the fancy bits anymore. I run a bunch of

We use teamsnippets.com. I've a love/hate relationship with them. As a part-time employee and a full-time father, the last thing I want to do in the evening is switch context again and type up what I did during the working hours

I don't get it. Why use a VM and not download the desktop application: https://desktop.telegram.org/ ?

No, "Human Resources" covers it just fine. Humans are merely resources a company can use and discard as it sees fit.

Wow, I wish I lived in a world where 'wrong' was well defined and eternally, universally recognised. But I don't. Neither do you.

No, that is not an alternative as Seafile is server-client, where as BTSync is client-client (peer2peer). syncthing.net is an alternative to BTSync.

Thanks for your feedback! I'll put it in the feature-request-backlog, but things are kindof exploding right now, so it'll be a while before it will get any attention.

Thanks for the grats! Well, when you get right down to it, all internet startups essentially focused on 'reading words that were typed into such a box by someone else previously.' [0] :) The reinforced bubble you speak of is not

On behalf of the team: Thanks! (I only recently joined, so I can't take any credit myself). As far as we know, there's no other company in the world that offers this 'pay-per-article-service'. Blendle has been tremendous

I have. I ran Arch for 3 years, up until 3 months after they implemented systemd. It made a KISS situation incredible complex. I switched back to Debian on my desktop after that. If Debian switches to systemd, I'll switch to Slackware,

My bad - it wasn't removed. I misinterpreted the English and had javascript blocked. It's an interesting paper, though.

I honestly don't see the problem. Don't want your students to learn the innards of computers running Linux? Configure a Vagrant instance and have your students Vagrant-Up. Could have been done inside the time he took to write that
