Did it nearly run you over or did you nearly walk out in front of one?
If we have to make them make noise then we ought to do the same to bicycle as well.

After striving to make vehicle quieter since their conception we finally do then . . .

Microsoft needs Linux.
Does Linux need Microsoft?

Check out this episode on Teleportation.
Isaac discusses this question and more https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...
Be warned though - this channel is highly addictive.

If your into learning and expanding your knowledge "PBS Space Time" & "Isaac Arthur" on YouTube.

I second this. Dreamhost is great. I have numerous CMS sites on their servers and life is good.

Yeah right,
I remind you of the rant Linus Torvalds had with SUSE where his daughter needed to know the root password to install printers.

I think a not so super level is required for limited system change rights.

With Internet Time they changed the time line to BMT = Biel Mean Time. (yes it is GMT+1, UTC+1, CET)
Biel/Bienne is in the middle of the watch region of Switzerland and it sits on the border of the Swiss German and French speaking parts of Switzerland, its a bilingual town.
So it is Swiss based.

And really . . . it will be the last clock change we would ever need as all clocks worldwide will be synchronized.
It just that your working day start time will vary depending on where you are in the world, but clocks will never have to be adjusted again.

A huge change to everyone but I think the benefits will make it worth while.
(and while we are at it USA/UK, consider the metric system)

Hobbie = A job you enjoy doing
If that is the case I guess I will work till I die.
I cant wait until I retire and start doing all the things I really love doing.
Not that I dont enjoy what I do now at work but I am building a machine that is not for me.
I want to pursue MY interests, not my corporations. But my corporations interests also interest me to a certain extent.
I do consider myself lucky to have a job I love . . . . but in retirement I will be able to wallow in my hobby bliss.

Looking at your skill set I would recommend e107 CMS at http://www.e107.org/

eGroupware has all the features of Outlook with project management tools, wiki, time manager, file share access all thrown in.

And its web based so it works across platform.

It connects to POP and/or IMAP email servers and can support 100's of users on a slow server.

I replaced my web email solution with this and now use it for a whole lot more.

A great project. http://www.egroupware.org/
