PHP really can't be trusted...

That's why I strongly discourage using PHP:
[5 Jun 2003 7:38am UTC] sniper@php.net.


We can't fix every library out there that isn't thread-safe, so either don't compile PHP with such extensions that use those libraries or run Apache2 with non-threaded MPM.


Safest bet is to use Apache 1.3.27 anyway..

Tell me about washing your hands as Pilate did...

How to find RedHat version from command line

cat /etc/redhat-release
Period.

Three interesting applications

Trac, Redmine and Retrospectiva are three Issue Trackers/Project Management applications sharing similar features and a killer one in particular: painless Subversion integration.
Which one would you choose (or you already chose) for your team?

The "Random thoughts" series - Thought #1

From idea to working (hopefully) implementation:
1. Blow your original idea to pieces
2. Choose a sub-set of those pieces that, once implemented, will grant you a working sub-set of your original idea
3. Implement this sub-set
4. Add one of the remaining pieces to the implementation
5. GOTO (4) UNTIL (no pieces remaining)

Via col vento

Devono intervenire i francesi per spiegarmi cosa succede nella mia nazione?

Non faccio di ogni erba un fascio, ma credo proprio che anche qui, in Sardegna, sussista il fenomeno descritto nell'articolo di Le Monde... dopotutto, per quel che ci pare, siamo italiani anche noi.

E poichè mi pare brutto evidenziare solo le cose meno belle dell'eolico (che poi, a conti fatti, l'articolo di Le Monde parla delle cose cattive di chi l'eolico lo fa, e male) vorrei proporre un'altra interessante lettura.

Ergo, alla fine della favola: l'eolico fatto bene SI; quello fatto solo per speculare, NO. Punto.

What if

What if... 
Firefox would let you start different browser profiles:
  • Light, for super-fast web browsing, with only the extensions you need to turn the web upside-down in the minimum amount of time
  • Work, surfing with all the tools you need to accomplish your duties in half the time
  • Developer, the fox you are used to when it comes to play hard with code (and not to mention the add-ons that make it simple writing it...)
  • ... other profiles, that you create on your own and share with your friends

What if...
Firefox could start these different profiles all at once, in different processes, for the best performance.

What if...
Firefox would let the different profiles seamlessly communicate one with the other, moving tabs from Light to Work and then to Developer and viceversa.

What if...
Firefox will be like this.
There will still be room for a different browser in your dreams?

Luca is behind some of these ideas. Thanks!
