You almost quit because you couldn't do a traceroute or tracepath to figure out there was an ISP, routing or backbone problem and there was nothing you do about it?
A. I'll take over for you because it sounds like you need to be replaced and it sounds like an easy job.
B. Maybe you should learn photoshop and change your career path
I, like many others, find the Unity unusable on a desktop or laptop (or server) platform. I understand the thinking of using it on a pad or phone scenario though. Is there any possibility - whatsoever - of producing something like MATE on Ubuntu? I have been a long time supporter and advocate of Ubuntu. (I even have the t-shirts) I now find myself leaning towards other distros instead. Again, ANY possibility?
BTW: Thanks for taking our questions and thanks for getting more people using Linux.
Because it never ends there. There's also the things like don't suffer a witch, kill the jews and it's OK to blow yourself up while killing those that don't think your precious moo-moo is the only true way, make your life difficult or kill you if you want to date, have sex with and/or marry a certain, race/religion/gender. If all of the nutjobs that believe in a magic fairy god in the sky would just keep it to themselves, then I would too. I know, there goes some more karma points...
I completely agree. I make money off those ignored algorithms. Leaving those flash crash trades as is, brings:
a) Some eyeballs and trigger fingers back where they belong
b) Some humans back to the floor
c) Less business to india
d) God forbid, people may actually manage their own money
I am a bottom feeder, and proud of it. So leave those automated flash down trades in play. The good companies will return to their proper value.

Windows 8 Is Ready

Quote from one of the linked articles:
The openness of the previews presents a unique perspective on product development, and we’re deeply committed to the transparency of the preview process. No product used by so many people in so many different ways is developed “out in the open” like Windows 8 has been.
Really? I think Linux and BSD products are developed more openly than anything MS does.
BTW: Flamebait ready mods
Sticks and stones make break my bones but I don't give a fuck about my karma.
I was starting to feel sorry for you and your experience with chrome, the you went and said the magic words "Task Manager". Then I realized you were describing a windows machine. The problem you are experiencing isn't chrome...
Sharepoint - works great? Want to open source something from microsoft?
hahhahahahahhahahhhahhhhahhahhhahha
oh wait
haahahhahhahahahahahahahahaha!
I just pooped a little.
ohhhh hahahahahahha!
We're speaking of Linux - not apple. If you don't value choice, use apple or microsoft. I do value choice - whether it's trivial or not.
I just love it when idiots call other people idiots, especially when referring to an opposing point of view.
BTW: I don't care about my karma either.
Schwab does not. I also have an account with tradeking which does. I informed schwab about this must have feature and they thanked me for my suggestion. That was about 3 months ago and it's still not available with schwab. I used the link to turbotax inside schwab to do my taxes this time and got a nice discount. I use Linux with firefox and chromium and at least on firefox it worked perfectly on two different machines. I didn't test out chromium although I suspect it would've worked fine. IMHO, the availability of a pre-filled in 1099 and associated trade confirms forms is a big plus and a big black eye on schwab. I would prefer the downloadable forms, however turbotax did do a very nice job of it.
I second Teamviewer on Linux. I don't use it to telecommute though. I use it when some one wants a connection to conference and it works great.
I use pfSense on both ends and have a tunnel set up between the house and work. The company pays for the static IP addresses and they benefit from very quick responses when needed. With a tunnel, (or it could be a vpn if preferred) I can then use vnc, rdp and ssh to do anything.
Not being sarcastic (this time), but is it really that hard to make a Linux phone? Something with Debian, Ubuntu, or something similar?
OpenMoko looked like it was onto something and then everything seemed to stop. Why wouldn't Google do it with C or Go?

You sir, are an idiot.
Let's go through your blather one idiotic statement group at a time:
Originally having no experience, I got a test server up and running within a day.
Does not instill confidence If you had no experience, what fucking idiot put you in charge of 700 users email?
Also, it will take a day just for security updates and patches on a new setup. Unlike you, I am in charge of a couple of exchange servers.
I have a lot more issues with one exchange server than all of the Postfix, Exim and Citadel mail servers combined.
Here is what happens with an open source product:....
You install the product and spend the next couple of hours wading through text config files.
When you do manage to get the product to work, the thing does not work as expected.
You spend the next couple of hours cranking up debugging output and wading through source code.
If you are really masochistic you end up compiling your own build after you have found a bug.
Where's the text file for exchange settings or any windows package for that matter.
Ever tried to read dns entries or dhcp map in command line because windows wouldn't boot all the way up into GUI mode?
I didn't think so.
You can open conf files because they exist. You do not have to for hours. What was that line about no experience?
I can have a physical machine fully running apache, mysql and postfix within 3 hours fully patched and operational - WITH a GUI.
I have over 20 years experience with winnders. I don't like it anymore. I now know it to be the junk that it is.
The last time I had to wade through debugging and source code was when a crack windows dev from outside my country wrote some very bad C code.
Since we're speaking of source code. You didn't say what source code you could look at on Microsoft Exchange. Did I miss that news announcement?
Last point I'll cover.
Because you have the source code is there, you CAN compile. Obviously YOU have never compiled anything, because it's easier than logging onto a windows machine.
Why is it so hard for you? Just do these three commands:./configure
make
make install
I'll assume you were so feverishly typing you slipped up a little.
I'll fix your last point that was even worth reading. The last paragraph was just delusional blather and deserves no attention what so ever.
This line:
If you are really masochistic you end up compiling your own build after you have found a bug.
Should actually read:
If you are really masochistic you end up reading and agreeing to the Microsoft End User License Agreement.
I know, there goes my karma again...however, there was a question and here's *my* answer:
Keep XP and migrate to Ubuntu.
OK, I'm sitting down now - I know the ms puppets are going to waste their horded mod points on me and kill my karma. Go ahead, I can take it.
You see, the new phones just announced as Kin One and Kin Two by Microsoft were a product of Microsoft's Crack Design Team.
That is, they gave a group of people meth and a crayon. (They only got a red, green or blue one.)

One of the greatest things about virtualization is that you can give all your devs the same setup just by copying a VM to their physical machine.
Copying a vm to all of his devs *is* a violation of the MicroSnot EULA. If it was an Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS or the like, it is almost expected.
If that vm was a windows machine, you are a software pirate. (at least according to MicroSnot)
