Why waste time rewriting Unix...

We know. ReactOS has been around for many years.

Nothing new here. In NY state you have to send in your Article of Organization to the NYS Division of Corps. You then receive a confirmation mailing which you have to turn around and send in to the NYS Dept. of Taxation, so they, you know

while there may in fact be such a correlation, after skimming this "paper" it appears to be mostly philosophical rambling and armchair musings, very little data, no graphs or charts or analyses showing correlation, etc., just citations of o

My pet peeve: You made an arbitrary change while debugging a problem. NOW YOU HAVE N^2 PROBLEMS!

if you don't want to be treated like cattle stop accepting it. opt-out every time. every time i have, they have asked if i wanted a private screening, and in fact the personnel that performed the "pat down" was always very professional.

I don't even get what the issue is. People have a problem that she even wrote this? I wrote something similar because there IS no standard replace tool along the lines of grep. Sed is awful (it's essentially impossible) for multiline exp

by the way, I think if Gnome had "done nothing" by continuing to incrementally develop Gnome2 instead of doing something entirely new with Gnome3 the same argument would be trooped out: "Look, Gnome isn't innovating, it doesn't have vision,

whinge meh, other than bus factor this seems overblown to me. I use Gnome3 on Fedora and it is great. It takes advantage of Fitts law and there is just less fuck-around-ability with it. (I thought even the Alt-to-PowerOff controversy w

I think he knows the difference which was why he had a problem with it. But of course the problem is not that some arbitrary function no longer returns him a preferred default value, the problem is that he is sending it garbage to begin wi

how is nobody aware of PythonBrew? to me it seems like the best and most comprehensive environment manager. it supports separate Python versions as well as virtual envs, in a very simple command line interface that is reminiscent of Ruby's

Ugh...python packaging, it makes my head hurt every time I have to figure out how it works again. This is something that Ruby got very right, how could Python be such a mess? I wish it was just a simple 3-step process to fix http://www.yo

Guh, run, run away from PHP. Try ruby or python. And then a framework of your choice on that such as Rails, or whatever the lead framework in Python is these days (Django?).

The abdication of duty to truth in favor of balancing competing ideas is a disease. Sometimes some ideas are just empirically more correct and some are just empirically more incorrect. If some partisans happen to hold the more correct vie

why not put all .txt files in /txt? we have .../man for man pages, .../lib for libs, .../src or source and .../include for C includes after all.

GoboLinux does it too. And for that matter, another "unixy" OS uses "bundles" to keep all of an apps files together instead of splattering them all over the OS: Mac OS X.

much of the original traditional unix file system hierarchy is basically redundant and unnecessary in the modern age. for a good overview (from the author of a linux distribution which departs completely from this tradition), see: http://

unfortunate that there needs to be a --enable-flaming option :(

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned pythonbrew. https://github.com/utahta/pythonbrew It's the Python version of RVM. It is higher level than even virtualenv, and in my opinion, the most seamless way to manage Python environments.

So far it's been difficult getting one on ones with doctors. They justifiably shield themselves from solicitors and other annoyances (if I were a vet, I would do the same). You are right that vets typically rely on IT consultants, but the

Good point. We do have one vet who is using the product but it's the same initial customer we developed it for/with, so they naturally already know how to apply it. We should come up with a little story, perhaps a comic, which introduces
