Agreed. Subversion branching is a direct solution for both problems he mentioned in the article.

I'm not sure the author of this article understands subversion branching [1]. As long as you are not making a commit to the master trunk, you will not be interfering with other developers on your team. The author dismisses SVN branch

You are correct: MATE is the GNOME 2 fork that uses GTK2. Cinnamon is a modified version of GNOME3 that uses GTK3 and provides extensions to the GNOME3 desktop so that the default desktop looks and feels like a default GNOME2 desktop. Lin

I'd highly recommend both of these games. I'm really hoping that the lack of Mac/Linux support in Quake Live will bring more players to the Xonotic and Warsow community. If you are into quake-like FPS, do yourself a favor a

Yes. Quake Live also works on Linux (until they remove the Linux and Mac support for their Windows installer).

The QuakeLive team currently only has a single developer and it seems that they would have nowhere near the developer bandwidth to do a WebGL port (as great as a WebGL QuakeLive would be!)

From the linked forum post: -- Over the past few years, browser support for plugins such as QUAKE LIVE have dropped off significantly, causing problems for plugins to operate in a consistent and working manner. With the recent announcement

As a decade long Quake Live player and subscriber, I am really disappointed by this move. The team was forced to make this move because of the lack of native browser plugin support in future Chrome versions. It seems that the QL team only

How does KDE depend on Ubuntu? It's not like KDE will cease to exist if KDE is not included in Ubuntu. And besides, Canonical is more than welcome manage their patches for KWin (or fork KWin) if they really want it to be included in

When I first installed Woody, I didn't know that you could "apt-get" from the net. I don't remember ever using any of the CDs but 1, but I still have all seven for nostalgic purposes :3

The software used in the mail stack is purely open source software. Looks like they are running a fairly standard Postfix stack and are using roundcube for webmail [1]. I'll stick with my current solution of lavabit (which encrypts al

Even so, the boot sequence of a VM guest is generally straightforward with very little entropy.

by prg318 13y ago
In my experience, 'haveged' [1] has worked out really well for generating entropy on headless servers. It could be scripted into a provider's base distribution to include the haveged binary and run haveged before generating

I was also alarmed by the fact that they do not have a link to their source code on their website. I did some searching and found that they host their code publicly on Google Code [1]. They really should place a link to their source on th

A similar technique is also used in IBM's Rational ClearCase suite. It uses a proprietary networked filesystem to provide a dynamic view to users. It was an interesting attempt at a solution for version control and I'm sure that

If you want to use something other than "@lavabit.com" for your e-mail address, you can. If you have a domain name, you can point your MX records for your domain at the lavabit servers to have your mail forwarded to your lavabit i

Lavabit encrypts all of their stored email to the point that if you lose your password there is no way to recover your email. It might be worth checking out their service [1]. I've switched to lavabit from gmail and outside of a mino

Where are the VPN servers located geographically? It might be wise to include where your servers are located - and perhaps even a test IP address that users can use for latency / packet loss testing.

You can have a Linode account without any active VPSes on your account. If you want to spin up a Linode for a day, you get charged a prorated amount for the day(s) that it is active on your account. Pretty reasonable IMO. Just note that y
