Linode is fantastic. Their support and control panels are great. Anything not in their really cool guides, you can always jump into their IRC channel, which I've had really great results with. I love my little VPS!

Linode gets the maximum rating from me as well, wonderful people, amazing support, very pleasant control panels. Yup, Linode all the way.

Obviously this topic will tend to be highly subjective as the tools (at least for me, ymmv) have not been different enough to matter. I personally feel it's a matter of what you enjoy using more. Before Windows 7 I would have given OSX with

I'd rather Seinfeld end positively than continued until it had dried up. I don't think it's really fair to call him washed-out, Seinfeld was incredibly successful, how does anyone ever expect him to top it? He just has the bar for what's ex

Jon Stewart definitely would have been a better choice, but the off-beat humor fit Seinfeld well I think. Washed up after Bee Movie? My kids loved it hah, but yes, I thought he was washed up as well, until I read he netted more total cash I

I actually liked the ads with Seinfeld(who isn't really washed out if you consider his earning power), is that weird? You have to consider the image Microsoft has to repair here, at least they're moving in the right direction, and I'd rathe

…Windows, the most awkward of all operating system user interfaces in the world… Honestly I don't find Windows 7 awkward at all, on the contrary it feels very streamlined and quite a pleasure to use. Previous versions of windows I could see

It's basically like Apple not selling xGen ipods anymore. They will still support the software, just not sell the actual hardware anymore.

total shocker, but I have a sense of pride being a programmer, ESPECIALLY in social circumstances. When asked what I do, I say "I'm a programmer and do freelance web development on the side" - Most of the time that's followed up with "Oh, s

If they would bring the HTC Hero in to multiple providers they would see a pretty significant jump in users I would imagine. Although, that new Nokia looks pretty great, I might be switching to it if T-Mobile doesn't end up getting the Hero

You really nailed the entire movies premise with this it seems. The main character isn't "suited" for his desire, but pursues it anyway, and overcomes his genetic labeling.

I was the same way honestly, but I switched back to HTML4 Strict. It's not that hard of a switch, and you can still keep your xhtml practices and write very clean layouts with it. Here's some food for thought by Cameron Moll: http://camero

I commend you on this and wish I had known about it sooner. What a great way to allow people to practice so many skills and have so much fun as well. To expand on the previous post and your post as well, some sort of "team finder" would be

You don't really have to learn how to use all the bells and whistles for it to be effective and ideal. Heck, I use it because it saves me having to transfers files or allows me to develop on a separate box through ssh if I don't feel like

This just summed up exactly why I don't use IRC anymore.

That's the thing that really depresses me about TextMate, I use it and like it a lot, but it's starting to feel old and could really use a fresh coat of paint and some new pictures on the wall.

While not what the original poster was looking for, I've found this insanely helpful and am really looking forward to implementing it. In fact, I can see this being useful to increase my household productivity as well. thanks edw.

I can relate to feeling guilty when monies tight and you eat out. You sound like you do it for all the right reasons, good karma man.

Indeed, half the time I was editing was because I for a while I didn't get why the reply function wasn't offered to some posts, figured that out later on ;) But yes, definitely ill-thought out by myself, and largely misunderstood the topic

I can see your point, and maybe I was misunderstanding the entire purpose of the discussion, I definitely think the law is playing on peoples fears and catering to them. Also that it's setup to typecast people as a group when as you did say

I'd like evidence of someone pissing on a wall and getting on the list, first and foremost. I'm not sure but I thought sex offender registries displayed the cause of the crime, which will allow you to judge if it could really be a threat, i

Good point about the mandated law, I forgot about that/didn't realize it, so I retract the statement about the judge's fault. I honestly have never looked in detail at the sex offenders list or the law surrounding it, I can say that when my

Backyards are a great thing, no she doesn't spend her life living in fear, and neither do I, you take the information and make some adjustments to account for it. You don't have to let fear rule you to still be careful. You still should exe

I can see your point, and can't say I disagree with you, what worries me is that we'll swing too far back in the opposite direction the same way we went into a panic and went overboard with the law. I can see where I misunderstood the point

I can agree, the public freaks out and band together without really thinking about what should be considered a serious offense or not. And I can definitely see it doing more harm than good. Really, though, every issue these days seems to be

Too many lists and then everything is saturated, no I don't propose that. I propose common sense when a sentence is being dealt. On the real hardcore criminals, I didn't say I didn't want them in prison, rape and harming a child are horribl

Because if someone is for instance, a thief, and he steals something from me, I can handle that. If someone is indecent with my child, it's more than just a "thing". If someone's out on parole from a murder sentence (not man-slaughter based

How about evidence I can personally vouch for? My brother and his wife bought a new home and started making friends with their neighbors, a week or two pass and my sister-in-law finds out their next door neighbor is on a sex offender list,
