Sorry, that's just wrong. Stable means stable, be it server or desktop. Testing and Unstable are aptly named by Debian, and that's where you should expect issues to arise.

I think it's fair to assume that people want results in the same language as the search terms they entered.

I expect my search to be faithful to the terms I enter. If the results aren't satisfactory, I'll narrow the search with additional terms. Withholding information based on some guess at my political leanings is dishonest. I'd be appalled if

I think there's reason to complain that the reality is far from the ideal. Take Netflix, for example. I rated hundreds of movies, filled out the taste preferences to narrow down the genres I was most interested in, but the "Suggestions for

So, your argument is that it's bullshit because it's true?

Good points all, but Linux does not have the luxury of targeting cherry-picked hardware like Apple does.

If you're trying to identify and eliminate bottlenecks, benchmarks like this are tremendously helpful. If the theoretical limit of a component exceeds the practical limit of other resources, I know I can look elsewhere to improve performanc

I've tested and admired the performance of G-WAN, but the closed-source nature of the project may be a bit of a showstopper for some. Development appears to be narrowed to Debian derivatives, making successful installation of the binary on

HTML email still handles that sort of thing poorly. I'd rather receive reports like that as PDF attachments. I can view those almost anywhere, and they're resizable.

Why does this remind me of sending "You've won a boat!" letters to suspects on outstanding warrants?

I agree that public key authentication is an improvement over passwords. Now show me a system that my mother-in-law can use (passphrases are out, she can't remember them).

Bad actors take advantage of the fact that most people aren’t that tech savvy—hijacking accounts by using malware and phishing scams that trick users into sharing their passwords, or by using passwords obtained by hacking other websites.

What's factually incorrect? It's not open source if they don't release the code (no matter how bad it might be).

There's a reason why computer science uses abstractions like "data," "memory," and "storage." These terms aren't as ambiguous as the author suggests.

These people behave in a way that would not be tolerated in real life. This statement is heavy with implications. Like many of us, the author abstracts these interactions into a second class version of reality, even though they are really

Was deduplication ever used to conserve system memory (RAM)? If it's considered a bad idea there, I don't see how it's a good idea on SSDs, since the ideal is for storage and memory to eventually converge into one entity (at least as far as

The author of the article is actually promoting the concept of "use it or lose it" with this point. Labor-saving can become excessive if it robs you of any opportunity to exercise your body or mind. She's really suggesting that you don't al

Seriously. But I wish all fonts included a monospaced variant. Why shouldn't I use Helvetica in my terminal?

I like vim because my primary user interface is 6 rows of approximately a dozen buttons each. Vim lets me use them efficiently and to maximum effect, without getting my fingers tangled in a game of keyboard Twister (sorry, emacs).

In the real world, someone who follows you that is not a friend is a stalker. I suggest that the "too many friends" problem might better be described as the "too many stalkers" problem. How many is too many? One. The real problem is that we

That's it, I'm getting the band back together. It's a quartet: vim, emacs, pico & elvis. Best. Program. Evar.

The message body should stand on its own, even if it means repeating information from the subject line. I hate long, rambling subjects only to find something like "So how about it?" in the message itself. Like the contents, the subject line

Did you verify the authenticity of the drives? It sounds odd that that they were limited to a NewEgg warranty without a manufacturer's warranty.

No amount of hot is going to convince me to date someone with an STD. That would be...well, crazy. I want my SSD to be at least as reliable as my system memory (if not more). The article makes it sound like they are inherently diseased. If

Put this in .vimrc to wrap a block of text with an HTML/XML element (including attributes!): http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip346 It's beautiful because you can just write (or paste) text, then easily add the markup afterwards.

I agree. It was unnecessarily sensationalist and ultimately invalidates its own title. Going from "common insect recognized as belonging to new order" to "discovery of a new life-form" is quite a leap. The author also seems to conflate know

Nice synopsis of Haskell as a language , but it doesn't touch on why they chose it for server side web application programming, specifically. I'd be interested in knowing if it's capable, scalable and stable enough to provide a platform to
