And on top of that, many linux distros have resurrected the absolutely insane concept of Autorun CDs, something Apple was smart enough to abandon back in the dark ages of floppy distribution.
Any proof for this claim? It is not like the auto-run that you know from Windows, where the setup.exe or whatever is executed on insert. KDE opens a dialog and asks you if you want the CD to be mounted and I guess the same is true for Gnome, but that's it.
Another practical Rails book that I can recommend is RailsSpace.
Shameless plug: my latest Rails project. To give you an idea how powerful Rails is, HowFlow has been developed in exaclty five days from scratch. It is currently in private beta, but I'm handing out invitations for those who send an email to flow at howflow.com.
That's where Linux really drops the ball still and OS X/Windows still dominate.
The UIs are extremely poorly designed on Linux and worse still they're often inconsistent with half a dozen ways to do the same operation.
Not too long ago, somebody here linked to these twoimages.
In fact, glancing back at TFA, it seems there are some inherent reliability concerns, too
As far as I know, Daniel is working at Google. They don't really care if one of their 500k Servers are going down. Replication and redundancy is the key. It's obvious why he is developing this patch.
Take an advise from mother nature: as far as I know, our brain works like a heterogeneous multicore processor. We don't have multiple generic mini-brains in our head, we have one brain with highly specialized brain areas for different tasks. Seems to be the right concept for a computer processor.
Did you by any chance mis-configure the K menu? It is way easier to find a specific application in KDE than in the Windows start menu, because the applications are grouped by application type (internet, multimedia, graphics, games,...) and the applications are listed with their description. Example: K->Internet->Web browser (Konqueror). The menu is configurable and you can choose between "name only" (that's what you have), "name - description", "description only" and "description (name)".
Sorry, but please check out BackupPC. All the features you named are part of BackupPC since its existence. I know, the concept of doing Backups by linking files to the backup space is something new to a Mac user, but it doesn't mean that Apple is the inventor. BackupPC does more than this, but I don't want to get into thos pesky details like compression and pooling (very nice invention!).
And of course you can access the backup pool with your standard utilities. You say, rsync is not TM and you are right, but BackupPC is much more than rsync.
Time Machine's ability to simply browse backwards through time in the folder, whilst still having the folder functionality usable is far beyond BackupPC.
Not true. You can browse the directory tree and then select the date. The interface presents the state of the directory depending on the date. It doesn't show fancy icons, but the workflow is the same.
It uses hard-links, including hard-links to directories, so in each and every time-stamped folder on the backup drive, you have a *FULL* copy of your HDD at that time (minus anything you excluded from the backups
This is exactly how BackupPC works! The interface isn't as fancy as Time Machine (because it's web based), but even the workflow is the same. It is fully automated and you don't have to touch anything. As soon as your notebook is connected to the BackupPC server, it starts to make an incremental backup. The restore is as simple as selecting the date, the directory and clicking on a button.
I wasn't willing to sacrifice who I am, what I believe and what my art means to me. I don't know what I may have missed out on.. I can imagine certainly, but I do know exactly how much I wouldn't respect myself and that's far more important to me.
Put your band website url in your signature. Might be better than the marketing a major label offers.
You obviously never had one of the N95s in your hand. It feels like it would fall apart in a couple of weeks of normal use. The GPS "fix time" is about five minutes, so you have to stand still and hold the phone in your hand until it has the initial GPS fix - about once a day. With activated GPS, the battery life time is about two or three hours. I'd rather have an external bluetooth GPS receiver that comes with its own battery.

Just wanted to say that this is the best description of the problem that I've read in a very long time.
Is it me or is/was the moderation system broken? At least all of the comments in the earlier story about SCO were unmoderated.

You have to add up all the language specific surveys. The french survey currently has 1500 participants, the brazilian 600 participants and so on.

... according to ValleyWag.
No shirts for non-Americans, I guess.
Wow! That was so easy!

:-) I'm living in Berlin. GPS reception in Switzerland is way better than in urban areas.

Can't wait to get one of those.
