I'm currently using two types of devices: -- 10" Acer AspireOne netbooks. They are cheap, and Ubuntu works flawlessly (true before 12.04) -- ALIX boards from pcengines.ch. They are…

hmm. I saw somewhere it was characterized as highly hackable

nice specs, I would put Debian on it and use as a portable network analyzer. I'll probably do so as soon as it's available in my country

a patchset for non-Intel CPU support was around for years, and you guys completely ignored its existence. As well as all the critics towards non-word-aligned data structures and in…

David, you're also isolated from silly talks and silly pop music which most of us have to hear around. Also I have no doubt in your career, as you have to be stronger than others t…

cool, this might be good for slideshows, especially on IT topics. I used Ubuntu font in my latest slideshow, and it looked quite well

Yay finally a multi-user tablet!

I'd say mid-Summer at best that you can order one and get it within reasonable time

any idea when they plan to start shipping the hardware? I couldn't find much information

great, this could be useful for mobile applications which require more control on graphics access performance. Like Augmented Reality and such. Also might be useful for app-dedicat…

I'm using timeanddate.com since long time, and plan to continue to do so:) Love their multi-zone meeting planner. Also lots of useful details, such as when the next daylight saving…

can't wait till we get a native Ubuntu tablet. Canonical says they are in the talks with hw vendors.

01:34 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoOeU1aya0o :) I've got an Illy cafe machine at home :)

and yes you're certainly right that BDB is embedded into the application process. Then any slight memory corruption may destroy the database and lockup the whole service. We've see…

I use exclusive locks where multiple processes concur for data access, and these locks guarantee the data consistency. For example, the GUI engine may eventually start cleaning its…

the FAQ mentions that you target x86_64 architecture. Does the server work on i386? also, I hope it's doing proper memory alignment and endiannes independence? (because Mongo sucks…

Did you compare the performance with (local) BerkeleyDB? Also, is there a locking mechanism? I'm the author of Torrus (torrus.org), and BerkeleyDB stability and non-network nature …

I keep my alarm about 10 meters from my bed, and I got up and put it for 20 minutes later... about 4 or 5 times this morning. Can't remember for sure :)

well, that too, of course. So Ubuntu rules anyway :)

for a non-technical user, this is a security flaw. You buy a tablet, activate it with your gmail account, and next thing is your private email is exposed to your party guests.

if I try to think as a typical Windows sysadmin, I would just use Windows. For those guys, ReactOS is not bringing any benefit, and they will for sure work with a product that they…

simply because there are less boring things :)

a project of this scale needs proper funding, otherwise it would take forever (which actually seems to be the case). the guys are building a competition to Microsoft. Some may do i…
