Slashdot | Is Vista a Trap?

shlomif — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 01:56:00 -0500

An article in the BBC that got slashdotted, that mentions all the problems that the writer encountered when upgrading to Vista, and the fact he had to spend a large amount of money on hardware upgrades, and encountered various software glitches. Vista also seems to be a step backwards in compatibility. Ah! The wonderful world of the free-as-in-beer, free-as-in-speech, fully tweakable, "just working", Linux. I can never go back.

Top 10 Reasons to use ack - Andy Lester's blog

shlomif — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 09:02:00 -0500

ack is a command line utility optimised for searching large codebases. In this blog entry, its author gives several good reasons why one should consider taking a look at it. Among its features: restricting to certain languages, ignoring VCS and other resultant directories and a recursive call by default.
