No it does not affect Fastmail. I also use it and in fact even if you use an email client instead of webmail, they support full encryption without upgrading through STARTTLS.
I was in the same boat but I finally adopted VLC as my media player and it depends on the basic Qt libraries. It is so much faster to start and uses the least memory of any video player, for GTK+ or Qt. It really proves to me that Qt code can run just as fast as GTK code, even on a primarily GTK machine.
Also bear in mind that LXDE has not yet announced any plans to drop GTK support, but GTK3 team has been openly dismissive of anyone not developing for Gnome in specific, so it may be inevitable.
Indeed, I've seen a number of people who went with the olive or silver themes, and managed to make the rotating text say something other than "Microsoft Windows".
You have a dozen online IDEs to pick from, perhaps codeanywhere, cloud9ide or shiftedit would be good choices. Write your PHP, Perl, Python, etc, right there.
Got hosting? Could you get a free shell account?
Download PuTTY and ssh in, find your favorite editor and install it to ~/.local or wherever you get to put your personal programs. Code to your hearts content and compile it - C, Haskell, Malbolge, whatever you like.
*Really* want to develop on Windows? Okay, go to vbox.me and download Virtualbox, install it portably. Bonus points if you put it in a truecrypt partition so dismounting it leaves no traces. Install Windows in a virtual machine and enjoy being administrator. Install your favorite IDE and program away.
Because when push comes to shove, it's easy to write, easy to make poorly thought-out patches and bugfixes to, and easy to set up and run.
The main criticisms I hear of PHP are that it's "too easy" and lends itself to spaghetti code and security flaws.
Being too easy means the market is saturated with PHP developers and it can be difficult, especially for HR, to decide who is actually a good programmer, and who is not.
I'm surprised I didn't find this question already in the comments. It seems likely to me that many people who are buying this have no idea what it is and will be disappointed that it won't play in their DVD player.
We used to be innocent and play with eachother. We didn't think much of it at the time - what felt good was right, back then. Now we're indoctrinated with societal constructs and, what I find to be, frankly, insufferable ideas about tolerance and leadership. The ultimate role that such constructs play today is rather laughable in comparison to the sheer number of those who blindly follow these veritable dictats, without so much as questioning whether they produce dissonance. Illiteracy rates are skyrocketing, and those that do choose to learn the dying art choose to waste it away on topics that aren't even worth inquiring about any longer, they've been milked dry. The few, elite that choose to pursue careers, viz, those that gain enough expertise and passion about the art tend to find themselves weary and unable to see the forest through the trees. The expression that best defines their state of being is kafkaesque, at best, and at worst, well, treading there is not on our agenda today. The group of those that inquire and research against fields in which there is not an exponentially increasing amount of noise tend to find themselves grasping for meaning within the words in front of them. Their minds see but they fail to interpret what they read into meaningful concepts. The art is right there, right in front of these jovial folks, but their untrained eye is unable to see it, rendering in and of itself an utterly lost and irretrievable expression of one's inner being. Perhaps futuristic peoples will remand the task to those who they consider apes - the very scholars who are pursuing a livelihood in the study of the very concepts which have been lost. Such peoples will need only a morsel of the vast intelligence that can be offered by those not of the location at which there is currently inhabitance known to us, that they will bestow upon their slaves, albeit, their masters themselves, little beknownst to them, the understanding and visual perception necessary and requisite to comprehending this vastly intuitive creation, generated as if by chance by those who are now known to have once been at this place, but are now known to no longer frequent it. The ultimate concept that has been herein attempted to convey is that once the data is transferred to a subsequent and more inherent being there will be no sentience that isn't lost, except that which has not yet been produced. In fact, I retract, dare, there may be nothing lost as in the necessary requirements for losing a posession, viz, an item posessed by those who intend to continue such act, including but not to forget that there are in no way limits to this definition beyond normal grammatical restraints, that data once processed is of the only type which can currently be called irretrievable in the future. Once it becomes an item catalogged in the reaches of the beyond, we may see that there is no limit to the expansion of the creative, the intensely devoted, in the way that there are no constraints thereupon. I thank you for your time.
You know despite the government always seeking loopholes, our constitutional rights are still enumerated and guaranteed and more often than not they are respected. When they don't, it makes the news. That's why we hear so much about civil liberties violations, because they happen pretty rarely, and are usually rectified.
This is not an issue of interstate commerce. The federal government does not have the authority to pass this law, the law clearly states that if states don't participate, they lose certain amounts of federal revenue, most likely highway funding. That will be Maine's penalty. There will probably not be a federal lawsuit, and this is not nullification.
Excellent point - it could easily be fought using the majority of the population's fear of the mark of the beast - just make them "realize" that this is it
It's interesting how we do a better job deposing leaders who espouse a more... totalitarian philosophy, than those who mask it with the rhetoric of communism - rights, sharing, equality, prosperity, etc... It's not surprising by any means, just odd how the world will never learn - some leaders lie, some are blunt, but their objective, when in nearly full or full control of the government, is to assert total control over their people.
The best I've come up with in response to that mantra has been "I have plenty to hide - deep, dark, disturbing secrets that you would be shocked to know. That's why I'm being so careful about hiding them" followed by a wink and a grin.
I didn't understand what he meant either - I've had flash on my linux machine for a couple of years at least. Then I see the other comments - X86 only... that's a shame, so I googled it and found this - http://www.petitiononline.com/fla4lppc/
A petition to bring flash to PPC linux. I suspect it's less of an issue now than ever, seeing as macs are moving to x86 chips, and they were by far the largest supplier of consumer ppc chips (though not the only one).

>That stuff is kinda sacred.....like remembering when the USA was a freedom oriented country.
Wow, the oldest man in the world, aged ~250, may I have your autograph?
of course its just for the lulz, its ALWAYS JUST FOR THE LULZ
Dont you get it?

never been anything wrong with openbox!
You were not alone.
I already come here to idly pass my time away with tech news, not shitty popularly selected pop-news articles.
Believe me I will. I don't even need to burn it to taxed media, I can just keep it on this hard drive or the mp3 player I bought online.

Revoultion is not anarchy.
It is revolution. Out with the old, in with the new.
Where are you paying $3/gallon for gas? I paid $2.09 this morning!
No but about half are capable of getting limewire or kazaa and searching for a movie, and downloading a shitty cam or telesync.

Agreed
and what's more, there are several forms of engineering - computer, electrical, software, civil, and more...

But there are laws forbidding the firing of guns anywhere within the limits of many cities.
Yet they are not unconstitutional, or at least haven't been challeneged
