and one more point that site has a lot of windows users and some of them will click that link for curiosity but the official one will only give you "you are not running ubuntu"
but the marcoceppi site gives more information on that ubuntu is required to install software from here
My computing teacher told us that closed source software is more secure than open source software, because with open source "anyone can modify it and put stuff in." This is why they do not want to use open source alternatives for learning to program, such as FreePascal (currently using Embarcader...
@MarcoCeppi That's what I thought of. That's a last resort though - the person in question may be doing this accidentally since the requests are coming from a feed reader.
On my servers I have a monitoring script that checks for IPs connecting more than X amount of times, and blocks it for 30 minutes. Repeat offenders block longer and longer until perma block
another Idea, just as uninformed as the first one: what about Etags? I'm not sure if RSS readers obey them, but modern browsers should
hey btw, @MarcoCeppi you mentioned cookie based login sessions the other day. I've just implemented those - my word they work marvellously. Much better than what I was trying to do

Hi all,
I'm trying to get rid of the 'capslock' key and give it a better use. Since I constantly use the 'run command' shortcut 'alt+f2', I'd like to make 'capslock' trigger that action.
I've found a couple of questions related (they all make use of 9xmodmap'), but none of them try to map 'caps...
Looking into Queue.py in python 2.6 I found this construct that I found a bit strange:
def full(self):
"""Return True if the queue is full, False otherwise
(not reliable!)."""
self.mutex.acquire()
n = 0 < self.maxsize == self._qsize()
self.mutex.release()
return n

@StefanoPalazzo The statement in itself is ambigous (in the Netherlands notation like this will get you a 0 ). There are places in the world where this ends up begin 288 and other places where this is 2. >:-D
@StefanoPalazzo here you make a mistake I would have done too: you added () but... you are not allowed to do that cuz I could (with the same arguments you use) claim that you should have added the () like this (48/2)(9+3) since the ruling is that equal(!) operations should go from left to right
you can have heated discussions about this one (friend of mine teaches math, physics and computer languages) Math and computer languages do not agree on that problem so he had some fun explaining that to his students >:D
conclusion: when in doubt add ()'s :-D (1 of his students took that very literally and added () everywhere :D
I still don't understand how gcalctool says it's 288. you have to do the multiplication first, then you encounter a sub-expression and evaluate that separately
@MarcoCeppi cool. My friends do not like me listening to music: I tend to listen to Prince, Metallica, Anouk, Rammstein, Adelle... and if they want me to stick to 1 genre I always end up choosing metal or gothic _O-
@Rinzwind I like my friends because while we have similar tastes - a lot of us like different music. It's nice to discover new things. Just the same though you could run it for yourself :)
Hey everybody,
I like the new overlay/thin scrollbars from Natty but I don't like Unity and the Speed, so I will stay on Ubuntu 10.10 for a while. Is there a way to get the new scrollbars in Ubuntu 10.10 (PPA/DEB-package/GNOME-Conf or whatever)?
i'm looking for a UPS for my server (11.04), how can i check compatibility (meaning it could tell the server to shutdown). any recommendations? thanks!
