Reminds me of why I finally left Gentoo. Some maintainers started believing that their default configurations where the only correct configurations. For example, the Apache maintainer believed the virtual hosts was the correct way to run Ap

At $500 dollars, you might be paying for the framing, printing, and matting, plus the fact that the artist might be well known in the community and has people buying his work. Or they are just unreasonable. But I would hope there are local

It can take a lot of digging to find good local art that isn't expensive, but it is out there. Generally, if you hit big art fairs, you have a better chance. My wife is a photographer/artist so I have become very familiar with the local art

I agree with that, but also offer another option, local artists. In every good sized city, there will be an arts community. And within that community, there are events, art fairs, local shops showing art, galleries, etc. In Minneapolis, the

I saw this all the time when I worked at a movie theater 12 years ago. Vampires and Blade (1998) Mighty Joe Young and some other ape movie. Two horror movies with bats. Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line. It happens over and over aga

I dream of being a published author one day and walking into a book store and secretly signing my books :) I have heard that technical books don't sell well, but then again, this author is not very well known and her books don't sell well e

I am impressed with the fact that he made $6k. A few years ago, I took a writing class that was taught by a published author. At the time, she had 4 books published, all Sci-Fi, by a New York publisher. She told the class that she got an ad

Why is VMWare and Beyond Compare listed as shareware? VMWare Player is free, but not Workstation. And I doubt Server is either (haven't looked). Beyond Compare is great, but it costs $30.

Also, Toppcloud is very young, only being announced about a month ago. It has lots of potential.

At my previous company, we had a great (and horrible ) knowledge base. We could search all bug reports, knowledge base articles and previous calls to tech support. Even with all the great content, it takes more than a search to solve the is

From what I have read, GvR and other core Python people are in favor of removing the GIL, but the solution to removing the GIL has to not hurt performance CPython and must not cause any regressions. Some have worked on replacing GIL, but ha

I agree. I know some awesome Java developers that use Netbeans, Vim, Emacs, Eclipse, and one or two that use IDEA. And this is not on tiny projects or lone coder things. This is an enterprise Java app that is probably one of the largest Jav

I thought he was referring to the http:// or ftp://. Without them it could be http:news.ycombinator.com or ftp:someserver.org. Edit: Ok I reread your comment and understand it better. That could be a problem but there could be other solut

Agreed. I am currently working on a site to fill a need that my wife, an artist, has. I found that the best way to find great ideas is to ask friends and family.

I agree with this, but would add one point. You can add a downloadable option later if it is something your customers say they want.
