It's similar to using Internet Explorer to download Chrome or Firefox.

It's IRC terminology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRCd#K-line

Quadditch! Man, forget the Robocup (http://www.robocup.org/), I would watch the hell out of a Quadditch tournament.

On a 64 bit Fedora 17 machine, I needed to install the following packages before getting LightTable to run:

  glibc.i686 libX11.i686 libXrandr.i686 glib2.i686 gtk2.i686 alsa-lib.i686 nss.i686 GConf2.i686

Basically, Linus just felt that the minor release numbers were getting too big. He dedided to not call that release 2.6.40 and call it 3.0.

I thought the same thing, probably because of this: http://xkcd.com/243/

Thank you so much for your effort and patience Michael. These video tutorials and the accompanying ebook are amazing resources for beginners.

This quote rings very true to me: “The next big thing is always beneath contempt.”

I was one of the people that wrote off Twitter as a useless fad that would never catch on. For a while I also told everyone who considered buying an iPad to just get a laptop instead of a toy.

Hindsight has proven me wrong before, and these days I give more thought to what a new "fad" could be, instead of letting out a derisive snort.

I woulnd't say this is just for developers, I'm a sysadmin and this is definitely something I'll add to my toolbox.

When you buy a computer with Windows on it, you also pay for the OEM license. When you build one yourself you can run a pirated version of Windows at no extra cost.

Seeing as he works for the Pirate Party, I don't think it's a stretch to assume he got his copies of Windows and Visual studio off The Pirate Bay.

I get a "Sorry but this video is no longer available." message.

My internet is routed through a proxy in Germany right now, is it still available in other countries?

I really like it. This proves there's still an immense number of viable domain names out there for startups.

Since you asked for some feedback, here's my two cents: I'd like to be able to sort the results by having my search term at the front or at the back of the domain name.

Highlighting the difference between verbs, nouns and adjectives is also something I'd like to see, taking a page from the book of http://impossibility.org/

I have a small nit to pick in an otherwise great post: Codecademy is not the same as Code Academy.

It's also noteworthy that codecademy.com ranks higher than codeacademy.org in the google search for "Code Academy".

Well played indeed.

The beauty of frameworks is that you _only_ need to focus on creating the content and user experience.

Much of the less interesting things like security features (think CSRF or salting passwords) have been taken care of by experts.

Frameworks also promote best practices (this is especially true for RoR) and take away the hassle of dealing with a database by providing a nice ORM layer.

Atwood's Law applies: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/07/the-principle-of-le...

Dart may not be a standard yet, but both the Dart language and the Webkit source code are open.

Comparing this to Microsoft and ActiveX is an unfair comparison, imho.

2 things can happen: either Dart falls flat and this has no implications to anyone, or Dart becomes a major success and nothing is stopping IE, FF or Opera to writing their own implementation based on the open specification and code.

I fail to see the problem.

I'd be interested to hear some of these legitimate use cases for IPv6 NAT.

I think they haven't rolled out the changes to everyone yet.

I've had the opportunity to work with Icinga during my internship last year.

Nagios development has stagnated somewhat but Icinga is thriving. It is 100% compatible with all Nagios plugins and most of the configuration tools. Most notably, NConf works very well with Icinga.

They reworked the old Nagios interface and offer entirely new web and mobile interfaces. I must say it's a pleasure to use.

The "preview" skin is available on Google Apps.

I activated it on a new domain yesterday: http://i.imgur.com/PoQ2F.png

Check out the new content on their Ubuntu countdown site: http://thisisthecountdown.com/

They released a soundtrack for this release of Ubuntu.

That would mean they'd have to get rid of Office Communicator (the professional version of Windows Live Messenger) to make room for Skype.

We should keep an eye on http://thisisthecountdown.com/

May I suggest Deluge (http://deluge-torrent.org/)?

It's open-source, cross-platform and very similar to µTorrent in both functionality and looks.

I'm guessing all donations will eventually go to a charity. Colbert often promotes charities like Donors Choose or the Yellow Ribbon Fund.
