"Lanxiang, in east China’s Shandong Province, is a huge vocational school that was established with military support and trains some computer scientists for the military.'"
That's the problem with the US nowadays, our trains are always off hauling freight or mucking about with passengers while the Chinese trains are establishing huge vocational schools for CS students.
Hi there, I am currently employed by a k-12 school as an admin/all around support guy, and I have successfully introduced a linux lab this year...and they love it!
I'm not sure the amount of time that you or the people who would be doing the deployment are willing to invest in the project, but I created a very simple distro, with the intention of using cloud computing tactics on it. The students are using google docs/gmail/gcal and the spreadsheet and presentation tools google also offers. The kids love the lab because its fast and easy, the teachers love it because of how easy it is to share (that's all google however:P ) and the constant uptime, and the superintendent LOVES it for monetary reasons.
This lab was actually created with old crud machines, ones that would have been thrown away. The fact that it's now a fully functional place for teachers to bring students is really opening everyone's eyes. With the majority of k-12 kids just using the computer to type and get on the net, there really aren't compatibility issues (other labs are obviously still windows for speciality software).
I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you have some old machines lying around, try scratching an itch. Tell staff that you can pull a new lab out of thin air, and they won't have to fight to sign out the few available ones to have kids go in an type papers. You get the idea, it sounds corny, but its worked for me.
Anyhow, this lab has been a huge success, and I already have the go ahead for another, and very possibly single workstations for teachers rooms as well, I only hope that others can manage to do the same.
Ahh, well my comment was less about who did what, and more about the fact that *something* was working in 2 days, i know we could browse many pages and whatnot. But no, without all of the help they gave we never would have gotten it to where it is. Codeweavers really is a great company that stands behind the software it sells.
It may have taken 11 days for code weavers to package it (that really isn't supposed to be flaming code weavers, i have nothing against them.) but it didn't take near that long to have a working Chrome in wine.
It was drastically less than 48 hours after release in actuality. I was one of the early ones working towards a solution with bug reports, and i remember waking up to an AppDB report of a functional browser albeit with a few tweaks, but working nonetheless.
Just saying, Thanks to the awesome community of Wine users, this application was usable (not for the feint of heart) in 2 days, and i thought they should get credit for that:)

Weird, whenever I hear nosql I instantly think about how much fun it will be to castrate my first bull, down on the farm.
The article you linked is mostly an explanation of why Facebook switched from Cassandra to HBase, which they currently use.
Still a NoSQL product, just saying.

I refuse to miss what may be my last chance to make the same horrible joke I made 10 years ago.

There, I feel better now.
The Judicial Conference of the United States approved a measure in March 2010 stating that you will not owe a fee unless your account accrues more than $10 of usage in a given quarter. If you accrue less than $10, your fees are waived for that quarter and your billing statement will have a zero balance. This policy change will be effective for the April 2010 statement. So you're basically safe for 125 views on any random account you make. EE~

Shameful.
I've never used the G1 or android.
But I know that android is linux based, which makes me wonder, could someone just write an app that would renice processes on a G1?
Just wondering.
