In America: regarding politics a focus on actual issues and problems rather than sensationalism especially in news outlets such as things like the new "tea party" and socialism... but that isn't going to happen in the next 18 months sadly.

You won't be able to use xmonad to manage normal OS X apps. X11 will just be another OS X application sitting in your dock that you can switch to. However, it is pretty easy to install a decent set of X11 apps. If you have MacPorts install

I don't like it, but it doesn't matter for me because I change to clearlooks with new icons for gnome anyways and they didn't mess with buttons on that theme.

Last time I used a minimal install it was pretty small (it does grab packages from a cd but only a minimal installation of ubuntu). It was more if you just like having the minimal system and choosing which software you wanted. Debian admini

The thing I like about ubuntu is that some things you don't really have to tweak to get right, like font rendering under X (such as having to go and use AUR to get ubuntu type rendering). I liked arch for a little bit but just like ubuntu m

Although it is cool that they have this so quickly I would have expected a week before it's release as that is usually the case with new ubuntu releases on linode. My best guess is that they have be mucking around with the RC to make sure e

Maybe look here: http://www.tarsnap.com/security.html it looks like you can create keys to only write and maybe keep decrypting keys offsite for just this situation.

It seems that it shouldn't matter if a robots.txt was present or not because logins were required to "scrape" the information and that implies that those accounts that had to login probably had to accept some sort of agreement which probabl

I thought it was going to be something like or about this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1243159 , but rather it seems that the "scraping" was much more malicious and underhanded when you look at the details such as multiple logins t

If you want a stable release I would recommend waiting a month as Ubuntu releases are always shaky the first few weeks. I tried the beta on a laptop and a desktop, the laptop with an ati card worked great with no real problems (I'm actuall

They are great I have one that I use for fun stuff and netbsd is a pretty easy setup if you want it. Once they email you that they have new VPS's be sure to sign up pretty quickly though because they run out fast.

Please don't reply saying you downvoted by mistake if you aren't already adding a comment to it, from what I've seen everything works out in the long run and accidental downvote comments just distract from the whole.

I don't mind compressing css after you have written it but if your only reasoning is finding selectors I must disagree. C-s is for navigating and the more traditional styling leads to easier editing as it is easier to move across lines than

control-shift-P works as well (probably command on a mac but I don't have one) But really chromium/chrome has the best implementation as it creates a new window and doesn't destroy your session.

I did re-read the post and it just seems like perl 6 has reassured him that python is dying but I have to disagree, maybe jython is dead for what he wants but python is not dead and from the looks of it jython is not dead.
