I sold my car through them early on and recommended a couple of friends to do the same (they did end up selling through Carlypso, too). What a great service. I also did a video testimonial because of how much I liked their service. I can&#x

If the ssh connection remains (it is what he is using to poke around afterall), you can tunnel through the active connection without having to create a new one http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/2857/ssh-easil

There may be an obvious reason, but if using another machine is fair game as he did in one of the examples, then why did OP not just copy ls/chmod/etc from another machine to poke around?

The problem of re-designing something as popular Wikipedia (especially something useful that has not changed in 10 years!) is that regardless of the result (i.e. better or worse), you will face _fierce_ opposition. Humans are very sensitive

Surprising enough, GitHub is not on the list. We have been using a combination of GitHub with Asana, and it has been doing wonders for us. We can even use a third party burnchart generator to get charts directly from our GitHub issues.

Interesting. Nevertheless, just by browsing the documentation, it seems they only support very basic SQL. For example, joins are not supported. To me, "SQL support" basically entails taking advantage of the relational model. In he

Sadly, I have many friends with similar stories from police departments in different places. I attribute the officer's behavior to constantly being surrounded by violence. If everyday, most people around you are violent unreasonable de

That sounds great and super secure, but all I wanted was a single line goto statement fixed asap. Took forever and basically made my phone, tablet, personal laptop and gifts I gave for Christmas insecure for a long time.

Routing is only as good as the data it is run off from. To do routing correctly for cars, you need direction of segments (one way, two way, only certain kinds of traffic like cars vs trucks, etc), some way to measure the cost it takes to tr

Actually, "has all of the addresses" doesn't make much sense. The way most geocoders work is by having street segments that are split at certain points and have from/to ranges of addresses. Here is a SO questions I asked

I have been using OSM for 7 years and I really love the project. Nevertheless, the biggest issue I have when it is compared to GMaps is not the content nor rendering (those are relatively straightforward to change)... it is the geocoder + r

Would you kindly point out which section of the LGPLv2 gives you explicitly that right? http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html I would emphasize the terms "work that uses the library" vs "derivative w

In practice, LGPLv3 is much different than previous versions of the LGPL. The truth is that many excellent projects have chosen to either stick to not go the v3 route intentionally (because of the extra restrictions), and if they do, severa

Not sure what you mean. If I had the ability to use shared libraries, I would be able to use LGPL code.

Besides maintainability, there is the issue of not being able to use certain open source libraries (without some legal complexity) when you statically link libraries. IMHO, that is a much greater problem.

What a lot of people (surprisingly) miss is that Open Source in general has several distinct camps: - the ethically politically motivated: there are many sides of the spectrum here. Copyleft GNU advocates are a good example. Writing GPLv3&#
