> since I literally don't know any mainstream -nix that ships without Perl in the core, and I know several that ship without bash

FreeBSD doesn't have Perl in the base system (but of course has it in the ports). Same with Bash though, but the Bourne shell is of course in the base.

Most characters in the show are much older than in the books[1]. That's especially apparent in children, a few years make quite a difference. Apart from the age, I find Cersei and Sandor misrepresented.

On a similar note, don't watch the show until you read the first book (if you intend to, eventually). Some characters in the show are spot on, some are way off.

Consider adding an option for the 24-hour clock, that's what most people use.

Doesn't work vimperator, the first D deletes the tab ;)

If you are going to use GTK+, take a look at Vala [1]. It's a C#-like language which is compiled into C. Much saner than coding in C. You can easily port your app to Windows/OSX, but, as others noted, non-native UI will be far from perfect.

I'm using this approach in an open-source project of mine [2], feel free to borrow the ideas.

Targeting only their own country is totally understandable. What really irritates me is websites using a .com domain but not mentioning they are US-only until the very last step in the signup/payment process. At least mention this on the About page, or better yet, use a .us TLD if you are not going to expand.

Thank you!

Great, a post about open source which requires proprietary software (flash) to view it⸮​ Why not just link to a PDF file with slides?

It's still like that in all BSDs.

> However, if I want to use the Microsoft-provided free MS Virtual Machine images, I have to run them on Virtual PC despite the fact that I have a perfectly good VMWare installation. On my Mac, this means running windows on VMWare, and then Virtual PC inside that virtual machine. This is insanity. I'm trying to support your product, you should be making it as easy as possible for me. Even Apple ported Safari to Windows.

To be honest, Apple is much much worse in this sense. I can buy Windows X and install it in a VM of my choice. Try this with OS X. And the only reason I need it is to port my app to their platform, potentially enhancing their ecosystem.

Just a suggestion, please make it possible to link to the current issue with a unique URL. There's no good reason why [1] works and [2] doesn't work (yet). I had to append a random parameter to the home page URL to make it HN-submit-form-friendly.

On a different note, thanks for offering the ebook version at the same time as the dead tree version. Well worth the 3 bucks.

I've been using it for the past 2 years on a Linux box, it's rock-solid and format-compatible with KeePass 1.x

Alternatively, you can use http://vimium.github.com/ which is Vimperator for Chromium.

Vinyl LPs are far from being dead, there's a huge (albeit a niche) market.

It's quite simple really: US - miles, the rest of the world - kilometres

gnome-shell is just a window manager which replaces metacity. You can continue using GNOME with another window manager. I personally use xmonad with GNOME and won't trade it for anything else.

Thanks! That's more or less what I was looking for.

I second this! I would gladly pay 5-10 bucks a month for a daily digest of top hacking-related articles (no business, no politics and no Apple rumours/speculations). HN used to be 80% programming and 20% business-related, now it's the opposite.

Same for Esc to leave it, C-[ works much better.

It wasn't deleted, you cannot submit both the link and the comment (see the FAQ)

> How is Gitorious making money?

By offering commercial support and custom instalations, see for example http://blog.gitorious.org/2009/05/11/welcome-qt/

Some companies manage to base their SaaS business on free software. Take for example Gitorious, their entire code base is released under AGPL.

If something can be copied, it will be, that's the law of nature. Your business plan should take this into account.
