The Date module could be split into a several different projects by just copying folders into a different Git repos. Would it make any real difference, no.
PS Another reason the Date module is large is it's history back to PHP 4, which it maintained compatibility with for a long time. As PHPs included DateTime classes improve (and fix long standing bugs) it can get smaller.
Sorry, that was dumb and rude on my part - I glossed over everything but multiplexing.
Your right, Nginx doesn't have a FastCGI process manager built in. PHP has a couple, I use PHP-FPM which is part of PHP as of 5.3.3. There's also spawn-fcgi ( http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi/wiki ) for more generic needs. This completely seperates the HTTP server from the application (even to another machine if you like), but is certainly another thing to configure.
As for actual connection persistence to backends, I know that has been discussed, but thought the performance difference was negligible and added serious complexity to have Nginx maintain a connection pool to backends.
"The FastCGI protocol supports a feature, described in the specificiation as "multiplexing", that allows a single client-server connection to be simultaneously shared by multiple requests. This is not supported."
It is unbelievable how completely backwards you and others get this situation.
Chrome for Windows actually follows the correct model, you just aren't used to it because so many Windows applications are completely backwards in requiring admin privileges for no good reason.
Windows allows users to execute arbitrary applications and install them as a regular user in isolated directories and registry space, that's a choice Microsoft made (and has frequently encouraged developers to support). If that's too open for you, you need to look to lock down software or get crafty with your Group Policy It's NOT Microsoft's or Google's fault, you just don't understand it.
So your managers two year old computer might be under more strain then your new computer - or have a bad fan?
Oh, and look at that, when I option the Lenovo to have specs somewhat similar to the MacBook Pro 13, it's $30 more.
I'm sure it's a fine machine, I have no problem with PCs, I was raised on them from day one. I used high end business HP's up till late 2009. I only started using Mac's because that's what the company I work for uses, and like I said, the MBP has been a surprisingly pleasant experience.
I've had one since launch, been repaired twice under warranty. Xbox Live has been the best online experience for a long time and it's where most of my friends play.
It's also largely for Medica Center. Engadget recently said it's probably the best DVR experience available.
I believe it also depends on the error, some more critical ones still seem to halt on the blue screen (perhaps because the machine is in a state that it can't even reboot in software). My Windows 7 desktop has done both on me (in fact I could blue screen it on demand with LogMeIn at one point, think an update fixed that).
Like I said, I've worked IT, I've made purchasing decisions for notebooks from $600 to $4000 (generally HP). I still compare to the new Windows high end HP machines my company purchases and I'm comfortable saying that the MBP is competitively priced and I wouldn't trade it for any Windows machine to develop every day.
...some VM software which goes deeply into the kernel then the stability becomes flakey...
Not sure what you are talking about. I'm currently a software developer, I'm typing this on a MBP that has been running for months with multiple virtualized development servers running Apache, Varnish, Memcached, natively I'm running MySQL with a multi GB database and Eclipse all at the same time. Even my relatively beefy Windows desktop machine would be unhappy in this situation.
I won't argue with anecdotal evidence, trust me I used to think like you (and I'm not a Windows hater at all, the only way to watch TV in my house is in an Xbox 360 streaming from a Windows 7 machine).
BUT like I said, having worked on a MBP for a year, I couldn't be happier. It's just a workhorse, and considering how much I depend on it, worth every penny.
I thought the same before using a MacBook Pro every day for work for a year.
You just don't get the stability, performance, battery life and build quality in a cheap Windows notebook (I've bought tons of them after much research when I worked in IT). Runs for months on end, 80 hour weeks, never shutdown, rarely restarted, basically never gets in my way.
That whole paragraph looks like it was run through Google Translate, it's kind of silly to pick it apart line by line.
I'd assume the sentence you quote meant there won't be problems including drivers as new models are released or in various distributions that have different policies about non-GPL binaries.

That's some astonishingly lazy finger pointing. Where do you normally get the news spoon fed to you?
Are you blaming Apple for corrupting Microsoft? Wow...
I don't see the distinction between phone software and other consumer electronics. There are all sorts of software stores from every type of consumer electronics manufacturer out there that are screened in similar, if not more restrictive ways. If you like unfiltered software on your phone, there is still Android and J2ME devices.
Windows Mobile really isn't a good example to hold up in my mind since you must be a masochist to put up with its flakiness and third party software that is generally terrible compared to other platforms. When I was in charge of IT for a medium size company, every experience we had with Windows Mobile was an unmitigated disaster, especially compared to the iPhone (after it supported Exchange).
I really don't know much about the history here, but this all seems pretty lame. Ubuntu doesn't hide it's Debian roots at all (it doesn't take much poking around to run into a Debian logo,.deb, etc). Also, Debian itself is based on a bunch of other works, it's how the community works.
For me, Ubuntu has been the up-to-date but still useable Debian; if I hadn't gotten used to the Debian world via Ubuntu, I would still use CentOS/RedHat on servers.
godmode isn't needed, that's just the name of the folder (Cnet named thiers thankscnet). Also, that so-called 'godmode' folder probably isn't documented because it's broken on x64.
That's one area where the argument for regulation is unusually strong. If you get screwed over when you buy a car, you can always decide not to do business with that company again.
Unless their faulty equipment contributes to your death in a car accident. Put simply, many things in this world can and should be regulated because their existence depends on public spaces, spectrum, safety or trust.
Analog recording formats are all 'lossy', but they do not suffer corruption from isolated errors.
A lossy digital format could contain errors to small sections, likewise a heavily compressed lossless format could suffer total corruption from a single bit error. To improve digital archiving we need redundancy, error recovery and error isolation (preventing errors from propagating).

mod_fastcgi doesn't support multiplexing either. Why would you make an incorrect comment when you can just Google something simple like this?

You realize I was replying to someone who suggested you can get by just the same with a $600 Windows notebook?
For more money, you probably get a nice machine.

You mean Microsoft doesn't take a cut of Xbox and Zune content? You mean I can install flash and porn on those devices? Nope.
Apple doesn't make money from OS X software, just content for it's 'appliance like' devices. Just like Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, etc.
Yeah, I forgot about all the flash applications I download through Xbox and Zune Marketplace.
Oh wait.

A whopping $.50 a gallon, which more or less covers what we spend on roads.
While the fuel tax may not work as cars advance, today it's a logical way to fund these projects, it's effectively a user fee.
