Finding a decent way to look through GB of logs to find something that happened a week ago is going to be MUCH more of a challenge
I'm running a website with 2-3k concurrent users; using web server access logs for read-only users, and a more detailed custom logging system for any interactions that any user makes, only generates ~100GB of logs per month. In the grand scheme of things, this is a tiny amount (grep from the command line is still perfectly adequate). For someone who can dedicate a day or two to writing a log browser then I'd expect the search to be even better, with graphs and automated anomaly reports and such (As someone who actually has done this, I'm not sure whether to find your comment of unrealism worrying or complimenting:P).
If the user has clue, fine. If extensions are really easy to install, dumb users will use this extra power to fuck shit up in spectacular ways and have no idea how to fix it for themselves.
Not to mention Ruby 1.9 is statistically the same speed as Python 3 (if not just very slightly faster).
It is? Shootout makes it marginally faster in 2 tests, marginally slower in 5 tests, and 2-3x slower in two tests. Still close enough that speed shouldn't be a deciding factor though; if number crunching is so important that a 10% difference is important you'd be using C anyway:-P
Though in both cases, reverse-proxying to a webapp or fastcgi process running with the owning user's UID is simpler (and a better idea anyway, so do that)
On RHEL and CentOS "yum search nginx" says "No Matches found". Do I need to say more?:)
This is exactly the example I use when suggesting Debian as a server OS. How can you live with such a shit default repository? Even the tools needed to build good software from source aren't included >:| (And last I attempted it a couple of years ago, CentOS had the nerve to tell me (after I'd formatted my drive) that I needed to go back to my previous OS and download another 3 CDs, because one CD can't contain the massive number of packages for an everything-disabled blank install...)
things that are critical that come from studying things in school -- process, teamwork, communication, etc...
Say what? Every group project I did or saw during education has taught me this. It's only thanks to doing open source work on the side, working with people who had half a clue and some motivation, that I learned the value of those things...
Surely any well written software should *already* run on the Pi? It's just a standard linux install, the only problem would be if your code was very hardware-specific, and I'm not sure why a GUI library would be...
Skyward Sword doesn't come out in the U.S. until Sunday, and not until next week for Japan and Australia.)
What is this madness? Perhaps I started gaming in the 90s, but I always thought that games were released in the country they were made first, then either America or Japan (whichever one didn't make it), then Europe a month or three later (and then Australia gets a new game whenever there's a chilly breeze in hell). Has Nintendo moved their HQ and developers to Europe without me noticing?
Battery life is good for mobile devices; but Apple pushing for retina displays in all circumstances means that we can avoid situations like this on all devices. Combine both of these with thin + flexible display research, and in maybe as little as 5 years time we will have invented something that can compete with paper \o/
I want everyone to watch out for the cheap fakes coming from China.
AFAIK one of the creators had said that competing against the Chinese would be a good thing, as it would drive the price of components even further down, and making computing available for everyone is more important than personal profit.
Being a reseller is cool. Taking people's money for a product that you don't have in stock and might not ever have in stock (the r-pi guys don't seem to want to have all their stock bought on day one and resold elsewhere, and they're going to be even less friendly now, after they've gone to so much effort to avoid pre-order schemes) is not cool.
Debian allows it, but all the software for a standard desktop is on CD1. Last time I tried CentOS it demanded 4 CDs for an install with all optional packages disabled (no desktops, no daemons), which confused and enraged me - if you're going to have a CD based install at all, then one CD should be enough to get started.
my enthusiasm also assumed that the industry was regulated and transparent enough to be safe. Clearly it is not
And other industries are?
Burning coal does far more, further reaching damage - it just does it slowly and constantly as part of normal operating procedure, so nobody cares. (Other sources like solar / wind would be best, but I don't see them being able to fill the whole planet's energy needs any time soon)
This does not gel well with my previously held dogma that whenever a vim user and an emacs user are in the same room, the emacs user will have the significantly larger beard D:
I would think that they put it in quotes because they knew that it's technically inaccurate, but provides an easy to visualise mental model of the process
It's not everything (If you define GNOME as having osx-style menubars at the top of the screen, it doesn't have that), but the services I care about are there
When you buy an Apple it also comes with everything preinstalled. Also with a lot of Linux distributions default apps are installed.
Bundling is fine; the antitrust complaint is about leveraging a monopoly in one market to steamroll another market
If you don't like it, then just don't use it and get your own favorite application, it's that simple..
On the contrary, for people who don't know that an alternative even exists (pretty much all computer users in the 90s, and a sizeable chunk today), downloading an alternative is pretty much impossible; and then people with clue can't use good browsers either, if their job depends on being compatible with the masses

It's about making the process much shorter and cheaper. I don't see anyone complaining for the mannequins not being human beings
When I was walking through Amsterdam, I saw a lot of live underwear models in the shop windows; seemed quite a popular and successful concept...

Even sometimes, be thankful for something good
It's possible to be thankful *and* point out possible improvements
But can it also run CGIs?
Yes
Can it do php?
Also yes
Though in both cases, reverse-proxying to a webapp or fastcgi process running with the owning user's UID is simpler (and a better idea anyway, so do that)

I don't see the point of this
Package management is an excellent thing, but apt-get doesn't work so well with non-free (as in money) software
I'm starting an "Occupy My Pants" movement, any lovely ladies interested in joining? ;-)

Ask me before you make the changes.

I am a computer programmer with several computers; my electricity bill is enormous and I need air con in the middle of winter :-P

I use vim, my wife uses emacs.

Unless someone has seriously messed up, then all apps work in all desktop environments
-1 That Joke Was Last Funny In 2006
Indeed; it used to be true and funny, now it's just true and depressing
It's fine if you don't mind a slightly looser integration of GNOME
Settings -> Apps -> Desktop Environments -> Start GNOME services on login
It's not everything (If you define GNOME as having osx-style menubars at the top of the screen, it doesn't have that), but the services I care about are there
