This is indeed a real pain. We are using it to load balance our LMS at the university I work at and also offer WebDAV access to files in the system. Files are delivered via HTTP 1.1 chunked transfer encoding which is not supported in the backend. Apparently the nginx guys are working on a proxy plus module with limited HTTP 1.1 support (like chunked transfer encoding). Right now we are using a dedicated machine which is not behind the load balancer for the WebDAV traffic, which of course isn't an ideal solution.
Othewise nginx is really a fantastic little EngineX.;-)
My mobile data plan is limited to 500 MB/month so I'm happy to be able to use a wifi when one is around. Also this is great for people traveling from other countries who do not have a local mobile data plan.
I just recently got a netbook and installed Ubuntu 11.10 on it - because the hardware support really isn't all that bad. Normally I'm a conservative Debian guy. After trying to convince Unity to look the way I want it to look and failing miserably I just did an 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' and now I'm set. Really love it.
Free as in software, not free as in support. Who is going to migrate this? I think their MS admins are probably just waiting for an opportunity like this.
As for Wikipedia, it also depends on where the servers are located.
I don't know if that is true. At least over here in Germany it doesn't matter where the servers are located, but rather where the publisher is located.
... around the time Slashdot came online, back in September 1997 and I've been (mostly) reading here ever since, being very proud to be one of the first readers. Thanks for all the great stories and links and all the best wishes for your unplanned future. I'll stay here and keep reading.
I really enjoy just riding into the sun with my bike (as in bicycle) without any real direction, checking out new routes I've not tried before. Thanks to GPS I know I can always find my way back. So in a way it makes me stupid (I don't have to remember the way I came from), it makes me lazy (not planning routes ahead) but it also makes me more adventurous taking me where my bike has not taken me before, discovering new places.
I still wish PuTTY would have native tabs without the need for the Connection Manager which is way to bloated for my need (tabs). I just need PuTTY, Pageant and then automatic tabbing when there is another PuTTY window already open.
On a second note: do we know that the markers popping up are real? There could be just random US cities being choosen. If the're smart they might be even using some statistical data or at least populations size to influence the randomness.
Better to see some Chrome installs out there because: it runs on multiple platforms, does a hell of a job in supporting web standards and is fast. Although it does crash on occasion, especially with web content. It also dies when you have 60+ Google Maps tabs open.
For me as a web developer I prefer to see more Chrome installs than IE, just it makes life easier. The only positive thing about IE is that they have gotten better at supporting web standards. Even though stuff that worked in IE 8 doesn't work in IE 9. and stuff made for IE6 and special modifications in IE7 still break IE8 and IE9. But I'm getting off-topic here.
... could now also ad "value advertising" to your phone calls. You ring a friend, talk about something and suddenly a commercial is played "Did you also know that 3509 of your friends also like that product?".
... not much to see here. 5 talks in the last few minutes? When are they going out of business? Is this their last try at a publicity stunt to acquire customers? Might be the best way to frighten them off.
I see tons of netbooks in use at universities, some students even use it as their main computing platform. They're cheap and well, small. I use a notebook, netbook and tablet pc for different purposes and they don't 'kill' each other.
... been this biggest problem with Firefox, not just since Firefox 4. Basically the last usable versions (memory/speed wise) where Phoenix and Firebird in pre-Firefox days. Ever since then it has been a memory hog and a pain. Eventually I switched to Chrome which just feels faster and I only use Firefox to debug websites with Firebug.
Indeed. I have a Hotmail account to check if the mails from my servers arrive there. Sometimes they don't, sometimes they do without a recognizable pattern. But when I do log in once or twice a year my mailbox is filled with spam. I want to know how the spammers get their mails into the system.

Perl 6 is the developers equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever. I'll believe it when I see it.
Sorry, but I have to say I use an iPad for recipes and (if I wanted to) TV in the kitchen. Works great, no hassles.
I hope they don't use carbon dioxide for fire suppression in the data center....
It is.
There are browsers with Flash support available on iDevices, like Pidgin and others. Only the performance sucks.

Well as long as it sits there without using it (i.e. not displaying web content) it doesn't crash.
No, actually: WEB was supposed to be FLASH. I think I just hate F. so much that I was afraid to write it and wrote web by mistake.

So when will we finally find the place Mr. Jones missed on his quests for the Holy Grail?
Where's the rack mounted server in this video? The outdated desktop wanna be server was already half assembled.
