Rider is hands down the best IDE right now for C#. And it runs great on Linux. The only thing it's missing, is automated remote debugging support. If you do anything with IoT/Raspberry Pi's, then please up-vote this https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-59477

I have been to cites all over the globe. Camera's everywhere. I don't know why London is singled out.

I like Postgres, and I like MongoDB too. Both have their strengths. Best tool for the job I say.

The great thing about MongoDB is you can install two or three servers in different datacenters, and have redundancy out of the box. It's really simple. And you can scale horizontally if you need to without any downtime.

The last time I looked at Postgres, to do the same, you had to use third party solutions, and the client side drivers didn't support it. Is it any better now?

Ha ha... the Blackphone is a company with a US presence. How do we know this phone hasn't already been NSA 'approved'?

At least it's not from a US company. There is another phone like this, and it's from a US based company. And I'm thinking... yeah right, NSA honey trap.

We need secure software. We cant trust hardware at all, unless it's for a single purpose, with a verifiable protocol. The Bitcoin community are coming up with some great solutions, which will help.

Unfortunately, this doesn't always work. Building the infrastructure costs money. Even if you could cover the cost of setting up a rival service with reduced profit margins, you run the risk of the rival service undercutting you. Of course, Google have shown it can be done, but they have a lot of cash to burn.

BBC4 not Radio 4. But that too.

I think it's OK for the BBC to have a few flagship shows for ratings sake. Keeps them on their toes. Such shows unite families too.

It's defiantly OK for them to spend money on programming that would otherwise not be commercially viable. I want quality & diversity.

It's good value when you look at the diversity the BBC provides. Sure you cant agree with the BBC on everything, but a lot better overall. Look at the Olympics. In the US, they got highlights. The BBC showed just about everything, live, without any breaks, for no extra cost.

Personally, I'd like to see the BBC paid out of taxation, providing it cant be touched by MPs. Link the rate to GDP or something, so there is never any question over how much money they get each year.

What nonsense. BBC4?

The BBC is so cheap for what you get. It has to cater for all tastes, so your not going to like everything.

No thank you. If it weren't for the BBC, The Sky At Night, would never have even existed.
If there was no BBC, all we would have to look forward to is wall to wall reality TV.

I run a big 24/7 mission critical GPS and Mobile network on Linux/Mono for a household name. It better not be dead!

Hardly dead. Its very much alive on Linux, Mac & Android.

I dont really like being forced into using JavaScript. If NaCl would become a standard across browsers, then we would have an explosion in new developer languages and tools to develop content. Why limit ourselves?
