Tried adding the latest circle with 498 members. Getting the same "Error Loading People" error. Is there a limitation on the number of people in a circle?

that is the point, we should also think on how much of their software stack is built on Scala.

I like Scala, sad to see that it is not gaining the required momentum. There are many people complaining about Scala and we don't see many people who are using it successfully talk about its abilities and elegance, I would love to see the scala experts/Typesafe respond with something that demonstrates the usefulness/applicability of Scala to the masses, and may be Typesafe/Partners can offer an easy to follow video tutorial?. I am also a little bothered when the Scala community answers these criticism with - "You are wrong.You haven't learned it properly" instead of trying to help.

Really a question I thought I should have asked. I am a long time Thinkpad use, I am thinking of getting a personal laptop.

I visited the showroom and had a look at the various entry level HP and Dell models and not very much impressed with the build quality of the ~ 1000$ range. I have seen people recommending MBP in many forums and thought I would give it a try.

I visited an Apple showroom last week and played with the 13 inch MBP for sometime, the build quality and looks are extremely good, but I felt a bit strange when trying to use it (that was my first experience with Mac), I had used Windows and Linux with various UI (GNOME,KDE,XFCE) etc but I couldn't navigate comfortably on Mac , It felt a bit different. I came to know that Mac doesn't have a backspace key, I was also not very much comfortable with the touchpad in Mac (I was apparently searching for the trackpoint)

I will be using a Thinkpad for my office work (client mandates windows XP). How useful would be to get a Mac, will the transition be easy? I would have to work on the Thinkpad in office and Mac by evening, will this won't affect my productivity by causing confusion due to different keyboard layout and mouse.

Yup this alt+tab switching behavior change is a real pain for me.I was under the impression that this is an issue only with Unity/Gnome3, now I got to know the actual place from where it all started. After seeing this change consistently across all the major UIs, I am starting to feel that this change in alt+tab behavior should have some strong reason for doing so and I am not aware of its actual purpose/use. I would be glad to know from someone on how this feature has simplified their work or improved their productivity.

yup there is a minimal ad on the side. I didn't appeared for the few queries I had tried (people names). I tried searching for a laptop and there came the ad on the side ;-)

Is it like a Tor for search engine where all the searches are performed by DuckDuckGo, keeping the users away from tracking? I tried searching some terms and it gives results pretty fast.I found no ads in their search results,wondering how these guys are getting money to share their revenue with Linux Mint and also pay MS for using Bing data. Making me doubt they might push favorable content up.

Waiting eagerly to try this out, especially the GNOME2 compatibility, after experiencing distaste with the rough edges of Unity and GNOME3. Nice to see that at-least these guys don't want their OS to be run on mobile devices ;-)

I am wondering why there is no response to this post for such a long time. Did scala guys decided to show their disappointment by ignoring this post here?

getting spoiled with the choices...what to say

this should change when many people start telling how they would have liked the ebook version more if it would have been polished a bit, most of the time business think they are doing fine unless someone complains or bring these difficulty to their attention.

this will also change when more and more people are opting ebook version to the printed copy. as of now the printed copy sells more compared to ebook format AFAIK and the ebook format is catching up fast for the many convenience stated in the posts here. We can expect a change soon as many people are getting ebooks and raising their concerns.

this could also change when some really nice product(device or software) to read ebooks comes to the market, I dream of a ebook reader where I can annotate, mark and make notes using a stylus like device. while many of these features are available in the ebook readers today they don't give the same feel as using a printed copy, for example (making handwritten notes)

exactly what I am thinking of. Should be fine with around 2 months off from work, I don't mind loss of pay for the period.

This is fantastic. I would also like to do some course in mathematics (under graduate level calculus, discrete mathematics ) to improve my skills. Are there any good places/resources where I can learn these things (video lectures with quizzes in between will be a nice choice). I am also ready to take a paid certified course if some reputed college is offering them online.

I am thinking of switching my distro (Ubuntu) atleast for a while till Unity is polished enough for my everyday use or get replaced with something that is easy to use. I am not happy with Unity when it comes to serious work

1. It is not easy for me to switch between instances of the same application immediately. I usually open code in 3 or 4 gedit windows and switch between them often using Alt+Tab when I am not using eclipse. This has become very hard with Unity, Most of the time my fingers starts aching after working for a while in Ubuntu.

2. Opening multiple instance of an application is also not that comfortable. Suppose I have opened a file manager to see the contents of the Downloads folder and when I click on the Home folder icon from the Unity menu it takes me to the Downloads folder which is already open. I have to select File -> New window to open another instance of the same application.

I had tried XFCE and KDE but I prefer GNOME. I did some searching and came up with two choices Fedora 16 or Linux Mint.

In these Linux Mint came as a winner and I decided to give it a try this weekend since it is debian based and it comes with GNOME2 and the promised support for GNOME2 when it switches to GNOME3.

Things that kept me away from Fedora 16 are GNOME3 (I have not tried but read some reviews on it, I read one post where Linus had expressed his distaste for GNOME3 and telling XFCE would be better) and unfamiliar package system (this is not a big excuse, rpm is also as matured as apt and I think I can learn that easily). If someone tried Fedora 16 and if they feel GNOME3 had improved plz leave a note.

I think I am not the only one and many people are thinking about migrating from Ubuntu to Linux Mint.
