I'm with Ubuntu/Gnome3 and it's pretty fine. It took some plugin installing (very easy btw), but it feels pretty good. Time to switch?

Mainstream hardware is decently supported, if you don't have special claims. Ubuntu live cd/usb?

Also think what impact it's gonna have on organization. Would they have access to everything an employee types? Any website they visit?

It's since 2006 that every year is gonna be the year of linux on the desktop. Except it never happens.

Not, benefits, differences. Gremlin is an imperative "language", Cypher is declarative. The first lets you specify what will be performed, the latter describes the wished result and lets the query optimizer translate it to actual

TL;DR (if I understood correctly): don't use prefixes, use non-deterministic ways to raise the entry barrier. Like: 1. Developer registration & usage keys. 2. Global usage caps. 3. Feature auto-self-destruct. To me it seems just a

Probably because of the hype. He was promoting OO and thinking about it as a competitive advantage over the competition. He probably didn't want such "powerful" (?) software to be reused by them.

This is pretty much what Gnip offered, but with an usable API. My company did request an historical sample to GNIP one year ago: we had to contact the sales and send them a query blind-written following their docs. Then they run a job and g
