Just went to do a Yahoo search out of interest. The landing page was reasonable...but the search results page were horrible. Look like something out of the late 90s. Maybe I have come to appreciate Google's integrated search results th

Ha, I'm currently holidaying in the Gold Coast, and I was quite literally asking myself the other day how/if I could bring my work to a nice apartment overlooking the sea. Would be nice.

So just to be clear, these rockets are going into space, then somehow coming all the way back down and landing? It seems fantastical that such a rocket could have a controlled descent from space and then land vertically (considering how the

Every open source project starts off so well, then the "founders" decide they want to be gazillionaires, and it's all downhill from there. Sad.

So you had to build a few deps, who hasn't had to do that? I recall having to build a largish dependency tree to get a recent version of Gtk2 running on Solaris10, from Glib2, atk, cairo all the way up. That's life.

Sure, if I was designing a production grade system I probably would isolate a lot of the services. But I thought the whole idea of Docker was I could download something like a "Wordpress image" from the Docker marketplace, and it
