That's the idea. Check out this list of problem definitions: http://www.rhok.org/problem-definitions/full-list/ - these aren't pie-in-the-sky ideas that we came up with, these are real needs as described by real crisis responders.
SuperHappyDevHouse is an event in the Bay Area that is trying to "resurrect the spirit of the Homebrew Computer Club". I think that we are doing a decent job at that.
I've talked to someone who used to attend Homebrew Computer Club. He says that SuperHappyDevHouse has a similar feel. Among differences: There was only one electrical outlet in the space used for Homebrew Computer Club - Woz supposedly monopolized that outlet. And people couldn't bring computers to Homebrew like they can (and are encouraged to) at SuperHappyDevHouse.
Thanks for writing xen-tools! I'm very impressed by all the features it supports (LVM! Debootstrap!). The only downside to using xen-tools is that using VMWare becomes a very frustrating task.
When I was thinking about doing something like this, my idea was to put the editor commands in a wrapper script which would launch the editor and do a 'svn ci' after the editor exits.
Thanks for putting this all into perspective. I'm reminded of Frank Herbert:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. "

Yeah, except california is a big state. They wouldn't stop selling gas there if it meant they had to burn babies alive to make oil, they'd still sell because it's such a big market. \ No newline at end of file
I read Neuromancer one night instead of sleeping... I guess I should read it again. Wikipedia tells me that there are two other books that make up "The Sprawl" trilogy. Are they worth reading?
I recently played the SNES version. While playing it, I kept thinking that they could have renamed a few people, changed a few graphics, and resold the game as a "Matrix" game...
Does anybody know if Apple made their own technology to do backups, or did they actually implement ZFS? (there were rumors that they were going to put ZFS in 10.5)
I have a mostly linux-centric background - where going to Google is the best way to answer a problem. When I first started working with Macs, it took me a long time to realize that Apple actually has a very good support site. There are a few exceptions where you can get better support information elsewhere (macosxhints, bombich), but overall, the information on the Apple site is great.
It took me even longer to realize that AppleCare is worth having and that calling Apple on the phone will will get your problem fixed. When people ask me for help with a Mac problem I always ask if the computer is still supported, if it is, I just tell them to call Apple. Strange to say, but most of the time they will probably get the same level of support from Apple that they would get from me, and it is a lot cheaper than my going rate.

Ideas are cheap, it's execution that matters: http://www.paulgraham.com/ideas.html
I can assure that these organizations are rife with ideas, bringing the ideas "to market" is the problem.

Tin hat theory, perhaps. But don't think for a second that somebody has considered this.

For those of you that don't get the joke, check out the video that this is based on.

Wait until your friends retire. They'll have plenty of time for this sort of thing then.
Did you run "apt-get install tzdata"?

Looks like the games will only run on a win32 platform.

That was supposed to be a diff patch. (Insert lameness filter bitching here)

And then you totally missed the chance to make up for the mistakes of the past, I demand a Fantastic Four joke!
Even the Rio PMP300 supported VBR... the bitrate display just went nuts...
It also wouldn't schedule you during times when you can't work. I don't know why human managers always have such a problem with scheduling.

What editor do you use?
