Comment Use nginx? (Score 5, Interesting) 99
Why would anyone use Apache as a reverse proxy anyway?
I mean, there's nginx, and it runs circles around Apache as far as I know.

It does work, but it's still alpha quality at best.

The one good thing about Microsoft is that they tend to stick to what they started. It's not like Google who might just cancel the product you're using the next day.
Yeah, they really stuck to VB6 and silverlight.

Even their closed-source driver sucks, it's not just the open source one.

Why didn't you post this on Github?
At least it has syntax highlighting, I'm no expert at Bash, but I don't think anyone would appreciate reading it with no syntax highlighting.

Submission + - Google Buys Motorola for $12.5 Billion (mashable.com)
mhh91 writes: "Google announced Monday morning that it will acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion.
Motorola is one of 39 manufacturers of handsets that use Google’s Android operating system.
Buying a hardware company is an unusual move for Google. The acquisition, Google said in a statement, “will enable Google to supercharge the Android ecosystem.”
Will this strengthen Google's position in the ongoing patent war with Apple and Microsoft?

There's one good reason why I do that.
I live in a VERY hot country, if I leave my computer on for a long time, the components will just melt, or at least it'll affect performance sooner than it should.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but heat is bad for computer parts.
Suspend to RAM/Sleep keeps everything running, it does save some electricity, but I don't know if the savings are worth it.
Maybe I should try suspending to disk?

That's odd, I thought it was just Google.
I'm sorry, but I Bing doesn't really count as a serious search engine, at least for me.

I'm sorry, KDE is far from half-assed now, it might have been unstable back in the days of KDE 4.0.x
I'm using 4.6.5 on Arch Linux right now, and it's even more stable than GNOME 3.0, I know it should be, but yet again, 4.6.5 is the latest stable release, it hasn't been tested that thoroughly, either
Not to mention that Arch is known to be bleeding edge, so it's not the most stable distro around.
So yeah, I chose to go with KDE, at least for now, it's more reliable and customizable than GNOME 3.0.

It has been in alpha for a really long time now.
Why did they generate all this buzz when their product isn't even ready yet?
With the launch of Google+, I don't think it'll have a chance in being something significant anymore.

No, people have thought of this a lot, but the US government seems to enjoy blood money too much.
If those nations had peace, the US won't be able to sell arms to those countries.
And if that happens, the US is going to be broke in no time.

There's no way to defeat Al Qaeda.
Al Qaeda isn't just a bunch of people, it's an ideology.
As V says, "Ideas are bulletproof".
If the US really wants to defeat Al Qaeda, I think they should help countries that aid them get on their feet, that way they'll stop hating the US and start thinking about whether Al Qaeda is good for them or not for themselves.
