   I did that last night and the client is still a little bit picky. I only managed to make it work with smtps, the regular smtp with STARTTLS didn't work. Oh, well... now I have mail back in my phone. I guess the "0.1alpha" in

   Yes, there are a few issues, but the OS is really promising and I like the device. At first I wasn't sure if I was leaving behind my Android phone, but I'm going to do it and trust things will improve although right know my smartp

   I can confirm this. I was born in the Valencian community and I was "forced" to study Valencian language at the school as part of a "normalisation" process so the language wasn't lost. When I was working as OSS cons

   I have experience with the Valencian government, specially with the health system department, and in 2008 they were using a 3rd party tool for that (deployment, remote support, monitoring, etc). AFAIK they've been looking at OSS for ye

   Not sure about this. Sure FFOS isn't perfect, but I have a ZTE Open in my desk right now... for me that's way ahead of Ubuntu Edge. It's too soon to tell, but looks like FFOS is happening. Right now.

   I'm not an expert, but £59.99 is a very competitive price for an unlocked smartphone.

   Well, it's more like: shell -> awk -> perl -> python. I use awk from time to time, specially when I need to process a file line by line and the task is too simple to use python (ie. an awk one-liner will do!).

    I'm intrigued by your uname command. What kind of information adds to this case? Honest question, I would have expected the following command to provide context: $ which --version | head -1 GNU which v2.20, Copyright (C) 1999 - 2

    I wrote a silly (unfinished) game about 10 years ago, and SDL portability never ceases to amaze me. The game has been ported to devices I didn't even know they existed. It's amazing because I did it for fun and I used some data st

    Why? If you don't trust your Linux distributor then you need to find a different one, but I don't think the answer is compiling everything from source; specially if the upstream project doesn't support 100% your target distri

    I was going to say that there are *~ files in the repository, they should tidy a little bit because things like that don't look good. Then I thought may be I was being a little bit to picky and unfair, so I checked the code of some ran

    I totally agree. In fact I'm surprised, I would have expected "or equivalent experience" or anything in that line.

    The fact it doesn't have cache expiration times or inc/dec discards it as memcache replacement, at least for me. Well, and the fact that only go is supported at the moment.

    I'd love to try systemd in the future but right now we deploy in Debian and for us is easier to go supervisord (and all our devs "speak" Python, that's a plus). My main concern is that systemd handles too much and I feel

    There's an entry on the release notes [1], the changelog, etc; but unless I'm missing it, looks like there's not really proper management of security issues (same thing for the recent crypto.cat bug). May be I'm old-scho
