I don't know, I wouldn't admit openly to listening to that. Like, I'd be OK with myself with it, but if someone told me they listened to nerdcore, I'd think "what a geek":P
Biologists have traced this enzyme all the way back to the stone age, when people who had it would always need to have the latest and greatest club and stone hammer.
Hmm, I probably could. I thought it would require lots of configuration, but I've never known Ubuntu to be hard to use. Together with FreeNX, that would be a great solution, I'll try it.
I've taken a look at that, but they don't support Ubuntu Server (that I know of) and it would take quite a bit of vile hackery to get it to work:/ I'll be keeping an eye on it though, since if it worked it would be the best solution.
No, but I have considered running the Linux distro in it. For one, Ubuntu Server only has a command line and I don't know how I'd go about making it run there, and secondly I only need a few ports for the web server (80, 21, 22, maybe 1-2 more?). That would be a good solution, but the PC is a 667 MHz one and I don't know how well it can take it. I might put some memory on it and try it, though, it sounds like a good solution.
I'm no system administrator, but I have a home box running WAMP (XAMPP on 2003) and it's good enough for my needs. Recently I tried out Ubuntu Server to see what it's about, and I'm tempted to buy a new pc just to run that. When I tried to run mod_python under WAMP it took a whole lot of debugging and configuration (apparently it didn't like the already installed python 2.4), but with Ubuntu it was as simple as apt-getting it.
I would very much like it if I could continue using Windows (because I run other programs that are not available on Linux) but it can't match the simplicity of Ubuntu.
I realised that when I visited a website which had you read messages and categorise them as spam or not. You couldn't possibly do it because there wasn't any context. The OMG GET V14GR4 ones were obvious, but others were notices for which someone might have very well signed up for, but they also might have not. So, I don't think we'll be getting rid of spam with filters any time soon (although they do a great job with the bulk of obvious spam mails).
I have always wanted the in-page UI to be prettier. The round corners on the controls look very old-school, and I have always thought that Gmail in IE looks better (though it's much faster in Opera).
Learn the difference between "Gpay is useless" and "Gpay is useless to me". I would pay for your English lessons, if I could use Gpay to transfer funds from Greece.
My biggest question is if I can use my checkout funds to pay for stuff. I live in Greece, so I can't withdraw PayPal funds (cheaply, anyway), but I can use it to pay for my hosting/online shopping. If I can't do this with Google Checkout, it's all but useless to me.
I don't really trust these signature-based systems. Like viruses, you have to update them whenever there are new ones out, which means that the problem has to occur in order to get its signature. And, if you have something like this, you probably don't want the problem to occur at all.
They aren't fighting them. In fact, they have released WRT54GL with linux, specifically for this purpose. They just didn't want people bricking their routers and returning them under warranty.
There's one thing I don't understand, patents are a US thing. What if a company develops elsewhere something patented in the US, is that legal? Or will they not be able to market it in the US?
...the insecure places are more than the secure ones. Come to think of it, if someone got my password for the insecure places, he could do almost anything posing as me:P
Ah, that was very informative. Based on what you said, there's not THAT much more that RoR does that one has to learn a new language + framework to use over Django.

Who had that smart idea to make the webbrowser the local file manipulation tool, and why is he still alive?
That guy died last year.

Is there any way for us to use that energy? I guess we should find an efficient way to use the sun's energy before we turn to outer space, though.

That, I didn't know. You are very right, sir, thank you. I love this browser.

Could this be used for speakers? Aren't there some speakers that use a membrane instead of the normal speaker cone?
Like, from fear of being sued, you mean?
You criticized my English, so I assume that you write Greek as well as I write English.
Good observation. Now repeat. In Greek this time.

Ah, I would much like to learn Ruby. If only I could find a tutorial that is not a zillion pages long :(

And I agree, the admin interface is a lifesaver
