My-oh-my! Bill Murray has quite a few issues with technology, trends, and innovation. Just listen to him go on and on in this little rant from a TV promo filmed in the 1980s! [BoingBoing] More raquo;...
Henry Newman is out with his Top Ten Storage Predictions for 2011: There will not be huge changes next year because there has not been a great deal of investment in technology over the last two to three years. Some of the predictions below are things I expected to happen much sooner when the economy was better, and with a slight glimmer of economic improvement I am hoping these technologies will finally make it into the mainstream. Henry’ predictions of particular interest to the HPC crowd include: PCIe 3.0 hits the market, but no 16-lane slots or cards. PCIe 3.0 doubles performance over PCIe...

What would a desktop be without a file manager? Even at the command line level we have file managers and they still make our lives much easier than they would be without them. To many users the file manager is just way to preview, delete, and move files. The power user, on the other hand, looks at the tool from a very different vantage point. For this type of user the file manager must be versatile, powerful, and it must do their bidding in the way they want it done.
These days, a lot of Linux users have one distro on their main machines and do everything they can to boot into a usable desktop as fast as possible. Those of us who dual-boot multiple distros — or even OSes — though, still have to stare at the bootloader screen for a few seconds every time we power-cycle.

The best of the lot? Calibre, a one stop solution for all your e-book needs.

The man page documentation page for Apache mod_rewrite module says, “Welcome to mod_rewrite, the Swiss Army Knife of URL manipulation!” Believe me, mod_rewrite lets you do cool things with URLs. You can have one script for every URI request. For uninformed a URI is simply a request for a page or a website like: http://www.kumarchetan.com/blog/all-about-lamp-web-development-blog/ [...]
