I'd be inclined to give it a try (I use and love Ubuntu on the desktop), but my impression is that Ubuntu is Debian packaged for the desktop... which isn't really relevant on a server. Debian is, OTOH, geared almost entirely for the server, already before Ubuntu came along.
Exactly right, you should be higher on this page. :)
IMO if this thing is worth anything the value is in the protocols, not the code. I hope you're envisaging other implementations.

On vaguely which subject, is there some documentation of the protocols anywhere? I had a quick look on the site and couldn't see anything like that.
In Git, at least, some commands expect the first line of the commit message to be meaningful and self-contained. For example, `git log --oneline`. Following the custom of making the first line a short summary makes some tools more useful. (Emphasis on "short": eighty column width windows are very common.)

I think any action taken today is unlikely to preserve resources 500 years from now. You'd have to start some sort of monastery devoted to hoarding helium. (This is harder than it sounds. Helium diffuses through metal tanks.)

More importantly, I don't think future generations will benefit much from our conservation efforts. Resource needs and constraints change over time. As technology advances, we find new ways to create substitutes for rare materials, or find ways to use rare materials more efficiently. Someone in 1500 would be unlikely to correctly guess scarce resources 500 years in the future.
It runs great in Chrome.
1) Do you really think the web browser was the only reason the iPhone took off? There were no other ways it failed to suck that all previous phones had sucked?

2) Actually, the pattern fits better if you compare smartphones before 2007 to tablets before the iPad. In both cases, the category contained shitty products that relatively few people used. In both cases, Apple got a bunch of different things right that made the entire category suddenly seem like it wasn't a bad idea anymore.

3) The comparison in TFA was to netbooks, not laptops. Netbooks were not fantastically widely used, and they did have problems.
IMO the fact that Silverlight hasn't been canned is just another point that shows that MS doesn't get it. When they saw where HTML5 was going they should have jumped on board with both feet. It's too late to force everyone to use their OS at this point so they should have been focused on being compatible with everyone but simply running better.

Silverlight will get a bit bigger but it's never going to matter in the long term, any more than Java applets ever will.
Megablox was still utter rubbish as of about six months ago. My 8yo Lego fanatic son was given a kit by his cousins - "It's just like Lego" - err, no - many of the parts would not stay attached.
There isn't really a functioning long-term futures market for most commodities, though: the vast majority of the contracts are <1 year, and most of the rest are <2 years. There are a handful of commodities where it's possible to trade 10-year contracts with relatively good liquidity (U.S. natural-gas delivery is one), but they are quite uncommon, and 20-year contracts aren't even traded on the major exchanges. So, I really tend to see the futures markets, at least the way they currently operate, as more a way of betting on or hedging against (depending on your other positions) short-term logistics and demand spike issues, rather than as a long-term pricing mechanism.
I think the lack of long-term futures contracts is evidence that nobody has a clue about the price of commodities in the long-term.

What on earth are you talking about? You're comparing HTML5 today to Flash with their maturity? I would bloody well hope Flash is still faster.

The reason HTML5 is the future is it doesn't have the Adobe bottleneck. Is sound bad right now? Then browser makers can fix it. Is Flash a CPU hog? Wait until Adobe cares enough and has enough resources to fix it. Get it?

Any other comment on the technology used?
How often are you exposed, even minimally, to other disciplines inside mathematics?

For example, I'm no researcher, but I tend to try and read a few good books about maths, and sometimes even actual mathematical books, just for the fun. Do you tend to do the same?
I think it is rational to be happy about it for reasons stated in other comments (perception of your country, etc.)

There is another reason though: it shows that your country/culture is a good one in terms of innovation or whatever. This directly reflects on the culture that your are a part of, both in the sense that you're affected by it, and also that you are part of shaping it. So in a way, a win for your culture is a win for you.
Hm, that's confusing, the one RFC linked above says:

"SERIAL The unsigned 32 bit version number of the original copy
of the zone. Zone transfers preserve this value. This
value wraps and should be compared using sequence space
arithmetic.
"

Whereas the other says:

"Serial numbers may be incremented by the addition of a positive
integer n, where n is taken from the range of integers
[0 .. (2^(SERIAL_BITS - 1) - 1)]. For a sequence number s, the
result of such an addition, s', is defined as

s' = (s + n) modulo (2 ^ SERIAL_BITS)

"

and

" Addition of a value outside the range
[0 .. (2^(SERIAL_BITS - 1) - 1)] is undefined."

Where SERIAL_BITS apparently is the 32 from the other RFC.

So you can add serial numbers as long as they're below or equal to 0x7fffffe but the result of the addition is still a valid serial number, and you can happily increment past 0x7ffffffe only you're no longer allowed to add that number to another serial number.

I agree with you, but the Palm Pilot did sell a huge number of units. (The Pilot wasn't a phone, but neither is the 'iTouch' or iPad. The Treo was a phone that ran software a lot like a Pilot.)
Mathematical Food: Slicing the cube apple
Your answer is ridiculous, Did you even read the article?

#1 Marco never said "Before Apple all smartphones looked like Blackberrys" He just said before iPhone all the smartphones were "often frustrating and with serious shortcomings and design flaws."

#2 He never said "no one will buy a netbook in 3 years" but instead asked- "How do you think the subcompact, inexpensive computer category will look in three years" He was saying that in 3years all the subcompact/inexpensive computers will look like tablets.

I hate fanbois too but what you're doing is just as "ridiculous".
As I see it, Eric's suggestion was indeed quite ridiculous, but the problem itself is not. Your digital past can really backfire or harm your future chances in life.

[Maybe the people screening candidates based on their past need to stop and think about the things they did as a teenager.]

Maybe yes, but what if they will not stop doing such screening? The the problem Eric tried to solve still remains.
I agree that an equivalent IDE for HTML5 would be huge for HTML5. I don't think HTML5 has a chance of mainstream adoption until it gets one and I hope it does get one. I don't necessarily want Flash to win out, or think HTML5 should suffer, I'm just saying that the only way Adobe will keep Flash alive is open-source.

It's an article, not a thesis, what do you expect?
Even after Linux became more than viable for dev boxes, it still had rough edges for laptops e.g. sleep, suspend, battery life, wifi etc. This was excacerbated by laptops often being weird one-off productions rather than a big box full of standard parts (and that you can assemble yourself if need be). There are other issues (using Microsoft Word and Adobe products, classy looking hardware) but I think for a long time that was a major factor.
YouTube - Intel Acquiring McAfee
Can you--or any other Android app developers--share what your active install* percentages are? I'm curious what's normal for the Market.

You're fairing a lot better than I am. I put my first Android app out a month ago (Gas Log) and have made a whopping total of $2.80 in ad revenue. (With an active install rate that fluctuates in the 40%-50% range.)

* active installs are the number of people that downloaded the app and kept it (i.e. did not uninstall or return the app).
Even when installing software? I'm not talking just about Linux proper here, but also its application-space. Mac apps tend to have a good level of finish, both in terms of UI look and feel, and in terms of the "it just works" mentality.

Anyway, great to hear things are getting better. I guess 2011 will be the year of Linux on the desktop then...

I'd be an anti-apple zealot if I were telling you how bad the iPad is, or how apple suck at doing things.

But I don't.

Actually, I think Apple makes good devices, but I get a bit irritate when I open up a link expecting to read some insightful analisys of the smartphone industry growth of the last decade, and instead I get some kid yelling out how the iPhone/iPad 'kick-ass', or how it 'revolutionized' the nature of the human kind.

It didn't.

Apple makes very good devices based on market trends. that's it.

You can't call me a zealot for simply disagreeing with you.

Can anyone recommend any good ASP.NET blogs?
There are some good blogs about PHP, Ruby and Python out there, but I haven't come across many good ASP.NET ones. The ones I know about are Scott Gu and Scott Hanselman, but I haven't found any other really good ones. Anyone here either have one, or can recommend one?
command-t doesn't rank results in the right order. 90+% of the time I find myself having to scroll through the results to get the file I'm actually looking for. Fuzzy-finder, while a lot slower in running time, is actually faster to use and requires less mental load, since the right result is almost always the top one.

Unless Command-t can implement the ordering right, it's pretty useless.

I keep hearing good things about the PeepOpen plugin though.

We're entering an era of deliberate degradation of the user experience and throwing overboard of software that works, for corporate reasons.

No, we are throwing out over generalised software that most people can't use well for software that people delight in using. In order to do that we are sacrificing flash and finding that parts of the web aren't very well written for different display options (shock, horror).

The revolution isn't for corporate reasons. It's for usability.

And that is why it's succeeding.

This is my biggest gripe about HTML5. They had the chance to really fix a lot of missteps but they made the (IMO) horrible mistake of using JavaScript as their "assembly language". Regardless of what anyone thinks about JavaScript, not everyone is going to want to program with it. Many of us will be programming in something else and compile to the base browser language.

What should have happened is that they just define a (high level) VM that we can all compile to. The browsers could have certain languages they compile to this VM language their self (e.g. JavaScribt, VBScript, etc.) and the rest of us compile to a binary file and point to that in our HTML page (e.g. <code type="vm" location="code/main.hvm"/>)

And the problem with a pricing mechanism that spans generations is that it will have to assume a great deal about how helium will be produced and consumed generations from now.

It goes both ways. I've found setting up Ruby and Python environments (not whatever system defaults, but development environments, including database drivers etc) much easier on Linux than Macs. As a developer I spend most of the time in the terminal anyway, so polish and glitz are relatively unimportant; I can see the appeal of the Mac to designers though.
I've been using this method since i first learned about raw disk access (dev files) and grep.

I think it should be mentioned that this will work properly only if the file was not fragmented - Which will usually be the case in EXT3 unless you are using almost all of the space in the drive, but may happen frequently if you are using a FAT file system (which is used a lot in USB disks).

Also, If you just deleted a binary file this method will be problematic as well, and in that case you can use a tool like photorec to scan the disk and even limit it only to the free space on the drive - which reduce the time it takes to go over a disk and can detect all kinds of binary file types (uses the magic number of the file to detect the type).

Like other people mentioned here before, you should recover all the data to a different partition/disk than the one you are trying to recover a file from.

With that said - recovering data is a tedious and error prone process, so if the data is worth enough(and for some silly reason you don't have a backup) you should:

A. turn off the computer immediately after you've discovered the loss of data (to reduce the chances of overwriting anything important)

B.Give the computer/disk to a professional to recover (because you obviously aren't one since you don't keep backups)

They didn't invent the form factor, but they were the first to make it good enough to become successful. There's been tablets around for two decades, but the iPad is the first to achieve widespread success outside of niche markets. Even Apple had the Newton which they killed off (imagine how the world would look if Apple was the one with an old, stylus-optimized mobile device OS in 2007).
Remember that the original supporters of Flash argued that you needed to have Flash to support all those applications that are _already_ available. This shows that actually they are not that available after all, they need to be modified, and maybe heavily.

We are also not talking of small tweaks. If your program was created assuming a mouse pointer and a keyboard, the whole interface is wrong for a touchscreen. The amount of change to your code may very well be massive.

I've never heard of this before and Google gives me nothing. Can you provide a link or something? I thought most medieval structures had thatch roofs made with straw.

I'm not sure what your anecdote has to do with my argument. The medieval times did not have the sort of growth we have today. Hoarding resources for future generations doesn't make sense in our economy. You could help the future a lot more by selling those resources and investing in index funds. A generation from now, that money will have compounded to be much more valuable than if you had preserved your original resources and tried to sell them 100 years later.
Regardless of semantic, I would argue that when you are really, really hate what you are doing, depression is not a surprising outcome.

Risky Business
This is not really a kernel bug. The exploit exhausts the address space of Xorg (which is already running as root) to make it possible to write to its stack using a shared memory segment. While the kernel can help prevent this kind of issues by simply denying to map a page from the top of stack segment, it's still an Xorg's problem that it allows to exhausts its address space. In that state an attacker has much higher chances of making the process do desired memory writes and using shared memory segments is not the only option (as described in the original article this post links to).
I've argued with people that this is not only irrational, but wrong. I feel it is exploiting the successes of others to justify your own lack thereof. For another curious perspective on national pride, there's evidence that people use it to offset their horror of their own mortality.

I tried searching from Sweden, and it assumes I want to fly from Sundsvall. Not likely. Either implement searching from all airports in a country, or require me to enter a city.

Also, any chance it will be possible to search for date ranges rather than exact departure and return dates?

Third, a mouseover for airport codes and airline names would be great.

Perhaps you are aiming for frequent business travelers that have fixed dates and know all the airport codes by heart, but I thought I'd share my thoughts.
