Came here to say the same thing, this is a must have. They should allow to pick "remote" or "telecommute" for people posting jobs too. For now I see posts using different wording such as "anywhere", "telecommute" and "remote". This is very important for devs.

You used a dev version of a tool that is not meant to be ran in production or for any serious task and then complained it didn't work with your attempt. As this bug is not present in the real prod version of mongodb, it doesn't make sense to criticize mongodb for it. Also next time RTFM before using a tool you don't know much about.

The 32bit version is available for convenience, nobody uses it in prod. You can't complain that a simple testing tool limited to 2gb can't store more than 2gb.

Yes, it was true that the 32bit version of mongodb that is limited to 2gb would lose your data if you injected more than 2gb in it, shame on mongodb...

Any idea what he means by "web objects"? I read the whole thing but couldn't get a clear idea.

I'd be curious to see how accessing an open wifi can be made illegal. I mean, it's legal to scan for wifi networks, this how we all connect to wifi networks. Now, what happen when my laptop finds an open wifi network? I if I click to connect to that network, my laptop wifi is going to ask permission (through handshake and protocol etc) to the open wifi which is going to accept and grant me permission. How can asking first and receiving a positive response to enter an open wifi be illegal? I mean it's not like I actually broke into it or cracked the password, I actually asked first and got an inviting response.

Unless they have constant access to your servers to make sure you don't make any changes afterward... But even then, the only way to be sure about one's privacy on the net is to run your own server, no web service can beat that kind of privacy. I personally prefer Google to Duck Duck Go by the way (especially using chromium search feature by pressing TAB) but if I really really cared about privacy to the point of giving up on Google, Duck Duck Go wouldn't be enough, sorry. Good luck though.

People here are probably not going to like this but I will not trust Duck Duck Go until they release their whole source code and allow me to run my own instance. For now, there's still a middle man called Duck Duck Go that I have to blindly trust. I salute his efforts to make his page privacy friendly, but as long as there is a middle man and no one to check his source code to check if he's not sending anything about us, there can't possibly and technically be any guaranteed privacy. Any one who has taken basic cryptography course would agree with that.

Works fine here.

Stallman usually talks about software when it comes to freedom. I wouldn't make any conclusions on his opinion about "freedom to kill" without asking him for clarification.

If you're not going to adopt webkit or make trident open source, can you at least make it easy to run it on mac and linux without downloading insane amounts data of VMs.
