How about storing that info on one's personal server?
Or encrypted and signed, then spread in the cloud, and you'd just hand out private keys that'd able to decrypt parts of the information, to trusted parties.
Go to Google code search, type lang:python, hit enter, read some code. Python is VERY readable. So far I think it is the most readable programming language I've ever used.
It's a lot of work to make even a PoC, and I've got work, school, a few other small projects, and a life. This kind of system would need a very careful design, a lot of experience, and deep knowledge of how the existing solutions work -- knowledge, skill, and experience isn't something you gain overnight. I'm sure that at some point in the future I will try actually implementing it, but at the moment this point seems a little bit distant.
That was my idea when I've proposed an "object storage system" here on/. a few months ago: associate type and metadata with every file, making them more "object-like" (as in object-oriented programming). The storage system would know the behaviour of each object (whether it is likely to grow, or more likely to be modified in place, or probably not modified at all, etc), and would choose the most efficient way of storing every particular kind of data. I've also proposed separate namespaces for each process, capability-based security, dropping paths in favour of non-hierarchical tags, and a few other "revolutionary" ideas that all had only one downside: nobody's going to break backwards compatibility, especially while the current system still "just works".
The funny thing is that since I've started to perceive the world that way, practically nothing bad ever happens to me. As if the reality started to reflect my view of it.
My personal POV is that the whole universe is alive, is synonymous to God, full of love, and that all living beings share a collective super-consciousness, which is the only "place" where the "reality" actually happens. The only reason for which my theory could be any less valid than any other, could be that less people perceive the world this way.
That's how things look like on YOUR side. Now put yourself in the role of a maintainer of a mirror. Bandwidth costs money, and mirroring a Linux distro usually is something you do voluntarily.
Huh? I've switched from Intrepid to Lenny on my laptop two months ago because Gnome 2.24 had broken session management (or rather: none at all), KDE 4.x had broken everything else, and KDE 3.x was ported... poorly. Debian is great for tracking the latest, newest, hottest NON-BROKEN versions of stuff. Sorry, I'm using my computer to do WORK, and a working computer is MUCH more valuable than a computer with a GUI with a higher version number in an "about" box.
Each time I try out some other distro, I eventually come back to Debian. And Debian will always forgive me and welcome me like a good, old friend. Debian, I love you.
from commands import getoutput as cmd foo = cmd("echo bar")
I often find myself writing small, special-purpose wrappers for some commands, like ps or find. I liked the MS PowerShell's concept of piping objects instead of text. Imagine... "ps | grep name=spam | kill". Yeah, sh sucks.
First, it's an old troll copy&paste shit. Your/. ID is over twice as low as mine and you still haven't ever seen that crap?
Second,
> Microsoft is giving up on NTFS for WinFS with Windows 7.0.
This is simply not true. Not true on multiple levels. Windows 7 is NOT NT 7.0, it's still NT 6.x, the "7" is just marketing. Second, the "FS" in WinFS doesn't stand for "file system" but "future storage" -- think of WinFS as a sort of database where users can store "objects" like videos, songs, documents, and tag them, rate them, quickly search them, etc. NTFS is still there and is doing its job. Uh, and WinFS is vaporware.
Meh. At least for me, the "intel+nvidia" part would be idle for 90% of the time, four or eight ARMs would be enough for the ramining 9%, and the last 1% will be what I should do on a more beefy machine anyway. And that "intel+nvidia" part would add WAY TOO MUCH to the price.

> process creation overhead
Why does Windows have so much more overhead for creating processes? What is it about the Windows processes that makes them cost that much?

From what I've heard D can use libraries written in C.

LOL
4x slower is much better than 40x or 400x slower (see gcc vs Ruby), that's what I wanted to show. Where did I say that gcj was faster than gcc?
These days Java doesn't run that slow:

C'mon.
Do you realize how much does a CRT weight?

NP, dude. I've been doing your sis for years.
I think we still pay a price. My laptop could easily heat to 60-70'C when doing CPU-intensive stuff.

Yeah, and I'd put Debian on that machine.

But that's what we already have been doing all the time since we've invented society.

Etch has also been released with RC bugs.

Irony, isn't it.
How on Earth is locking oneself out of an option a benefit to anyone? You don't want Windows? Don't install it, goddamnit.
Meh. At least for me, the "intel+nvidia" part would be idle for 90% of the time, four or eight ARMs would be enough for the ramining 9%, and the last 1% will be what I should do on a more beefy machine anyway. And that "intel+nvidia" part would add WAY TOO MUCH to the price.
What's the current state of OLED? Electronic paper? Maybe that display from the XO?
