Another relatively common use case is version control systems. They rely, at least in party, on accurate time stamps to resolve check-out and -in conflicts. Especially if multiple developers are working across a WAN or in the cloud, those timestamps would be fairly important. And--I'm speculating outside my area of expertise-- wouldn't there be a serious security vulnerability with a time discrepancy on mission-critical systems? A way to insert malicious code in that gap?
So, yah, this is probably very important.
Do you have a single example of a version control system that uses time to handle conflicts? I have never seen a system doing that, they all just handle it by looking at which commit reached the server first.
I have hosed a system once when cleaning up/etc/ after having finished a day of installation and configuration. "rm *~" became "rm *" as ~ was right next to Enter on my keyboard.
Using sudo would not have saved me from that mistake. Now I always write *~ as ~<left arrow>*.
(2) I could use my phone. But again we have the screen off problem. If I leave my phone on the desk, I'll still need to go turn it on to check the time, and it looks like I'm "checking my phone" (for messages, whatever). Not a good message to send to the students when I tell them I don't want to see *them* doing that. If it's in my pocket, I don't need to walk to it, but it's even more noticeable when I pull it from my pocket and turn the screen on briefly. I might be able to set my phone screen to stay on, but that wastes a lot of battery.
I still use my N9 phone because it has an always on clock on the lock screen, is there any new phone that can do the same?
The one thing I have felt that GUI does better than CLI is selecting some files out of others where a glob can't handle the selection. I didn't see anything in the "what if" screencast about that, will Xiki help me there?
Taken all together this means that the "1GB" of data allowance is really 250,000+ records, depending on how much is chatter vs. actual records and not anything related to disk space. It's just easier to explain it as 1GB to a management person rather then as a complex relationship between records, transactions and indexes.
I think this story and all the noise about $/GB shows that a price per record would have been a better solution.
I actually like Vista on my OS. But what I don't like is that it comes bundled with a TCP/IP stack. Since I have my own, I'd prefer that they give me a partial refund for that part.
Too bad the EULA doesn't have a clause about returning the TCP/IP stack then.
Another problem: in etch,/etc/localtime is not a symlink to the appropriate timezone file in/usr/share/zoneinfo, but a copy - a regular file. You would think this wouldn't matter, but for tomcat apps it does. Whether that's a bug in tomcat, java, or debian doesn't really matter, the only fix is to replace the file with a symlink.
It is not possible to use a symlink, the system needs to be able to read/etc/localhost without mounting/usr.

I am not saying that it causes the security problems the AC was writing about, but it is there.
Ease of install.
Sane handling of trailing spaces in varchar.
A better shell with a great help function build in.

can firefox keywords take you directly to search results in youtube (!y), google images (!images), and dozens of others? I didn't think so. ddg #ftw.
Yes it can, and it has been to do that at least since year 2000! See http://www-archive.mozilla.org....

About $500 or in that neighborhood.
Not really an option on a "budget below £100".
How will you justify that comment when it's no longer true.
He won't have to when he is dead.
The fundamental problem is that as the size of your data set increases linearly, the number of false positives increases exponentially.
That makes no sense, if it was true NSA would end up with more false positives than data if they just collected enough data.

What kind of problems does this give Tomcat apps?
Adding "points" in 2d is the same as adding compex numbers. The only problem with his example was that he didn't call his "points" vectors.
We have that register here in Denmark, it is regulated by the Danish Act on the Civil Registration System.
