I believe the point here is how Elementary presents itself. If you compare Elementary's discover page with Ubuntu's feature page, the difference is clear. Elementary's page screams I'm clean and simple; their page don't took you to figure o

Even though the documentation[1] says you need at least 4GB of RAM to build 64-bit PyPy, I've never successfully building PyPy on a 4GB machine. It took about 20 minutes to successfully build on a machine with 8GB RAM, though. [1]: http://

My two biggest complaints about Wuala is that its client is written Java and occasionally eats up all my memory (even with -Xmx256m, though I believe this is Java's fault rather than Wuala), the interface is a bit hard to understand and the

I can't remember exactly why, but it has something to do with how tipfy handles WSGI middleware back then (and it was very confusing, since tipfy also call their plugin system a "middleware"), and the framework being a bit too verbose for m

Depending on remote host, but I constantly get about 3Mbps when accessing servers located in US or Japan[1][2][3]. I'm using an old 4Mbps package here (6Mbps upgrade still doesn't available where I live), I'd say pretty good for the price.
