Our "Agile," or what we seem to want to think is "Agile," is a little different. We actually do detailed design and unit tests.
The problem is the schedule is set in stone up to a year out. One of the most important goals of Agile/XP/Scrum/etc, at least as I understand it, is to avoid the inflexibilities of Waterfall.
In practice, Waterfall nearly always turns into a flexible schedule, anyway, so Agile/XP/Scrum turns into rushed product with an inflexible schedule that kills the project.
Since Kermit has been embroiled in some rather obscure licensing issues over the years, from the project's name to the open-source license, I was surprised to see ckermit included in Fedora at all. As it turns out, Columbia University shut down the Kermit project earlier this year. Kermit is now really open-source. http://www.kermitproject.org/
No, it's not nonsense: for a long time, FreeBSD's SMP support was horribly sub par for servers.
FreeBSD still is barely getting some support for NUMA memory allocation, which is pretty important even for medium servers these days (eg. 4/8 socket).
Are you really suggesting that the time I spend will "come back in spades?"
Sorry, but as a longtime FreeBSD user and having wasted days of my life getting the graphics card to work and then tuning every last parameter, I'll take Ubuntu or Fedora on my desktop, thanks.
Sorry, but it's not worth the time and whatever "spades" you're getting paid pack in are 99% emotional, not physical.
I've always wondered since I got my first iPod Touch if multiple downloads of the same item were counted in these statistics.
For example, I have personally downloaded Angry Birds ten times but only purchased it once. What happens is that iTunes on my computer downloads the "Update" and my iPod Touch also downloads the same "Update" independently.
For full disclosure on my previous comments, I am still using Ubuntu 11.04. I spent a couple of hours customizing Ubuntu 11.10 and gave up, then tried to assimilate my work routine into Unity, and I just gave up. I messed up my Ubuntu 11.10 installation enough that I lost interest in installing it again just to make it look like previous releases.
Aside from that the invisible scrollbars and the menu bar only on the top (like idiotic MacOS) are both obscenely offensive and very cumbersome to disable, down to editing system files and removing packages. Shame on Canonical.
Unfortunately, the report in that IEEE article is speculative and is only based on an unfortunate few hard facts mostly because TEPCO is not being transparent.
The TMI reports are thorough, of course due to the distance fo time. They did not know for several years that an explosion actually happened at TMI. Several good books have been written, including but not limited the highly-detailed, post-mortem book "The Warning: Accident at Three Mile Island: A Nuclear Omen for the Age of Terror," ISBN-13: 978-0393324693.
Three Mile Island sustained an explosion about ten times stronger than the explosions that blew apart the Fukushima Daiichi units. The Three Mile Island containment building involved in the accident sits completely undamaged over thirty years later.
This is the benefit of containment buildings which were not only built to contain radioactivity but also built to survive impact by a Boeing 707.
Why don't all reactors have strong, steel-reinforced concrete containment buildings? I see shattered, wooden studs on those blasted-out Fukushima Daiichi buildings.
OpenBSD is only perceptually secure. There is no unbiased audit process. There is no verification by a third party. There's just narcissism. The only reasons we think OpenBSD is secure are:
1) OpenBSD supporters said so.
2) Few people who say they use OpenBSD actually use OpenBSD. As a result, few security holes are found and published.
Please prove this wrong. All I'm seeing are various forms of cognitive distortion and fallacies when people try to prove to me that OpenBSD is truly more secure.
Is this not another MIPS variant? There are so many questionably licensed and non-licensed MIPS microprocessors out there, I tried looking at the data sheets, but I don't see what instruction set this processor uses. I suspect a non-patent-encumbered variant of MIPS32. Can anyone verify?
I can scour the Dell catalog and find a much less expensive 1U system with the same performance as that 4U system but I'm not doing that to debate some name-caller on Slashdot. The 4U system is unnecessarily large which is the bulk of my argument.
You need to look up the word "hyperbole" in a dictionary and learn to not call a fellow poster a liar.
The least expensive Mac Pro is a quad-core 3 GB, 1 TB at $2,499.00 without shipping.
I'm thinking of the quad-core 3GB 1TB Dell R410, which is, okay, a little over 1/3 the price, not 1/5 the price. It's still significant enough for someone concerned with using up space in the rack with an over large, overpriced Mac systems. I don't know why you felt comparing it to a dual-core Pentium is relevant unless you took my hyperbolic statement to fact.
"I think the state of programming is so bad now that people wouldn't test it. A major security bug in Blowfish was just found last month caused precisely because of a signed/unsigned char mismatch."
It's beside the point, but the "security bug in Blowfish" is nothing of the kind. It is actually a security bug in a specific implementation of Blowfish, namely crypt_blowfish, that originally comes from the John the Ripper software.
Slow down, so a 4U case is better than a 1U case in a rack? I'll take the 1U over that 4U option any day. Scratch that, I'll take a more powerful 1U Dell for 1/5 of the price of that Mac.

What about the Chumby? It relies on mobile Flash.

And this is different from my tablet exactly how?

QFT.
+1 on the SMP support.
Even the deader-than-dead NetBSD runs circles around FreeBSD when it comes to SMP support.

Does that count as two downloads or one?

GNOME Classic is rather close to what you're looking for. It needs to be added after-the-fact since it doesn't come on the installation discs.
Other people have moved to LXDE and other WinXP-like interfaces or have abandoned Ubuntu entirely.

Sometimes the best thing to do with a hydrogen explosion is give its energy somewhere to go.
Or not. See the OP.

Getting back on-topic, try selecting "GNOME Classic (No effects)" as your desktop next time you log in, and see if it isn't easier to use than Unity.
Fixed that for you.
First? No. XM Satellite Radio was the first, way back in 2006.

It sounds cliche but sometimes the most-talked-about place in town isn't really the best place in town.
I have observed this among many former colleagues who go to the next big thing (FB, GOOG, etc.) but leave after less than one year.
I note the trend others have noticed that folks who leave MSFT for the most-talked-about place in town actually return to MSFT.

Naturally your actions are, by default, kept in the database's logs, at least on PostgreSQL and MySQL.
The audit trail requirement certainly does not preclude the effective and responsible use of GUI tools on any database.
