A couple of weeks ago there was this company called Bright Computing, that was pitching their software called Cluster Manager, which looked very cool as they had an excellent interface and could keep track of everything from machines, to routers, switches, power usage etc. Something to look into.
Richard Stallman will always find something to complain about if something even hints at the possibility of not completely adhering to his myopic point of views and mentality. This isn't news, it's in my horoscope every day.
Software suggestion: Embrace cloud computing for all your data needs (assuming you have a good internet connection.) This will remove the problem of having to change hardware and replicate settings all the time.
Hardware suggestion: Cheap netbooks that can be resold to unsuspecting people in the desert:)
In the spirit of full disclosure, the submitter feels compelled to point out that this Mr. Thacker is his uncle, and that he thinks this is really cool.
Teaching the reproductive system is one of the most enjoyable experiences not to forget learning experiences. I know I enjoyed learning about the vagina and what my penis could do.;)
You can always game the system. Remember search engines will only find your name if it is indexed. So all you need to do is create a bunch of websites and pages about yourself that are clean and sanitized as per your requirements on websites like LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace/Twitter, and some interesting blog sites that have high rankings as per ranking systems and high traffic such as Alexa (probably). Perform some search engine optimization on your webpages and profiles such that these sites come in the first page and textfiles.com is pushed back 2-3 pages. No one goes beyond the first page if they find the main stuff in the first few links. Remember that's why Google gave the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.
Of course, if someone wants to they can find every detail on you, but you can divert them intelligently by using the internet. Think it over.
Why should I write my code so that the lowest-common-denominator dull thud who took CSci just for the money can come along five years later and maintain it?
No, so that you can come along five years later and maintain it.
Or your future boss can outsource it to some peanut-salaried person in Eastern Europe or Asia or Latin America or Nigeria.
She said the software was authorized by a previous administration and her husband has better things to do to than look for aliens.

The mergers and acquisition group at Oracle should have known
Sorry to remind you that M&As mostly for huge corporations such as Oracle are handled by the likes of Goldman Sachs and their brethren, who as we all know are the quintessential causes of the financial crises (yes, plural) of today. To think that they knew beyond their own arrogance is to ignore recent history!
It can't be that hard or "bloated" since many others are already doing this - Blackberry, Android, etc. - can't be too hard for a web browser.
They run a very minimal type of browser, and do not have extensions, so you're point here is not valid. Blackberry and/or Android are full fledged operating systems where sandboxing is easily implemented whereas browser is just an application and sandboxing an extension while still giving it access to every web page's content is a little harder to implement.
The real trouble is that most extensions are in javascript and javascript is not a language that emphasises security. The fact that there is no way to perform a "use strict;" (as in Perl) is for starters a way to get access to all the other global variables in other scripts.
I have written a Firefox extension, and the Mozilla Developer API allows you to load any script at runtime, and also gives access to all the possible extensions that are installed, thus giving you an idea of where they can be located on the disk, and then loading those files and manipulating the content on the fly. Because of the lack of strictness in javascript as a language, if a global variable XYZ is in one script, it can be manipulated by any other script as well. Fundamentally it is a problem with Javascript and not with the Mozilla API. The API is excellent and allows you to do a lot of things. Any solution to sandbox each extension will just lead to eventual bloat.
I find it unimaginable that people would attempt to implement a technology that is not fully understood. Doing so will eventually yield unexpected results or at the very least, results that cannot be explained.
Yes, as we can see very well in the financial industry today. "Algorithms" and complex "trading strategies" implemented without understanding the fundamentals.

I get the same in Chrome 5.0.375.29 beta.
I *know* Google Chrome supports HTML5 and <canvas>, so I'd say his page is broken.
Works in Safari properly. Your Chrome beta is exactly that, a "beta".

Rs. 200,000 or Rs. 300,000 is a very low salary in India. Junior programmers generally get paid at least Rs.500,000 to Rs.700,000
The problem is, he already sold the copyright and now only has access to the GPLed version.
So, basically Monty screwed himself in the deal! Haha! He should now change his name to Monty Wide-Anus.

When something like this happens for other companies, malware is a fact of life.
Nobody likes pissing in their own pool.
... everyone was complaining about how slow their computers were
Maybe they were running Windows Vista ?

Well, Yasser Arafat got one didn't he. So why not Theo ! After all he and his team did build OpenSSH which you use in Linux.
Well then we should nominate Theo de Raadt for it instead.

Why not contribute to SourceForge.net instead of unnecessarly duplicating it?
That's because SourceForget.net is not pure .NET!
