Google has a huge solar project

I didn’t know that but Google is doing a really good work with solar energy, producing something like 9-10,000 KW/h every day!
Check the Google Solar Panel Project.
Actually I don’t think solar energy could solve the energy problem but… waiting for someone to invent something better, I say “good work” to Google.

Everyone want ZFS on Linux, here you have

Due to the licensing problems it won’t ever be included in the default kernerl package but the FUSE adepted guys are doing the porting work:

ZFS on FUSE blog

UPDATE:
During a deep read of the LinuxWorld article I found a really interesting thing:
Samuel has already found a ZFS bug, and Correia has [...]

Redundancy in PHP DB drivers

Once upon a time PHP had several different DB drivers such as:

mysql
pgsql
mssql
oci
sqlite
odbc
informix
firebird

Later came

mysqli
oci8

and we already had duplicated drivers (also if they have some different optimizations/features)
Later came PDO and we had

pdo_mysql
pdo_pgsql
pdo_mssql
pdo_oci
pdo_oci8
pdo_sqlite
pdo_odbc
pdo_informix
pdo_firebird

so now we have 4 drivers only for oracle (oci, oci8, pdo_oci, pdo_oci8) and 3 for mysql (mysql, mysqli, pdo_mysql) and anyway every driver is [...]

Safari on Linux? No, thank you :)

Safari is going to be released on Windows, someone is wondering why Apple maybe isn’t going to release it also for Linux… thinking about the history of webkit/KHTML but… I prefer no Safari at all on Linux, the best thing is that the webkit engine keep been developed from both Apple and the KDE [...]

Wubuntu, please do not create confusion…

People are claiming that Wubuntu brings Ubuntu into your browser, this is totally wrong! Wubuntu is just a web application that tries to emulate the graphic theme of Ubuntu, nothing to do with the real operating system behind.
I think wubuntu is a good work (also if I don’t like web desktop projects) but it [...]

What is lacking in Zend_DB to make it a full abstraction layer

There are mainly 2 PHP abstraction layers out there:

PEAR::MDB2
ADODB

I used both for long time within P4A and the conclusion is that none of them is good enough, because of feature lacks, bugs, communication difficulties with the team. I have to say that MDB2 code is much clearer.
But there’s something interesting coming out from the [...]

LinuxMCE distro

LinuxMCE is a great media center software built for being installed on a Kubuntu feisty, but reading the download and install instructions it seems to be that it’s all too difficult, why not building a Kubuntu livecd with built-in MCE?
Is someone interested in the project?
Do someone want to join me to do that?
I think [...]

A big lack in PHP PDO

It seems to me that none in the world needs to get meta-info from a query like this:
SELECT * FROM table1 JOIN table2 ON (table1.id=table2.id)
I need to know from which table are the returned columns from. That’s not possible. It was possible with some old PHP DB drivers (not for all and I can’t [...]

Microsoft’s website redesign

Look at it, HTML code is completely unreadable but you’ll notice that’s much more standard compliant and lighter.
So standards are not so bad hu?
