I've posted a (torrent of a) 6 month archive of tweets about bitcoin at bitcoinscope.com
To be precise, it's 50% of all tweets (every other tweet), so it can be used as a training set, with the other 50% to be used as a test set later (for your sentiment tracker / price predictor, etc.)
I'm surprised there isn't already a copy out there somewhere.
Freedom of Information request first?
Another example: I've been trying for months now
to get BT's (British Telecom's) "cease charge" refunded:
they charge you 30 pounds for closing a broadband account (!)
No luck so far
The endless Gnome 3 vs 2 discussions are all very well (I ditched Fedora because of it), but in the end let the voters decide:
Apparently in 2010 Fedora was the 2nd most used distro (from http://www.pcworld.com/article/2021273/another-year-another-totally-different-top-10-linux-distros.html).
In 2011 it was 3rd. In 2012 it was 4th.
And looking at the latest Distrowatch page hit rankings (which is what that article was using):

it now is 5th.
I have begun to doubt my position and wonder if we don't have some responsibility to artificially 'cripple' the solution and in doing so protect the user from themselves
That tells me he should consider working for Apple.
It tells me that at the moment he's on the Gnome 3 dev team.
after about 12 years of Red Hat then Fedora,
I switched to Fuduntu, and very pleased about it.
gnome 2, bottom panel the way I want it
(only thing still missing is the netspeed applet)
My captcha (I'm running phpBB) has proven to be "spam-bot secure" as well: users have to solve about 3-10 smaller sized Calcudoku puzzles (i.e. score 10 points) before they can post.
I'll be impressed with the bot that manages that
Man, there are a lot of bitter people on
/. If you don't like Gnome, you'll be using XFCE or KDE or Mate or Cinnamon or something
No bitterness involved: the point is that now I can no longer simply upgrade to the latest Fedora: after every upgrade, I have to go through #!#@! uninstalling/installing steps to get a functional desktop back and restore my productivity.
