@Peter Giesekce:
Nein, das ist mein "Hauptrechner" mit schoen viel Platz auf dem Screen. Auf meinem Netbook habe ich tatsaechlich die Netbook edition (allerdings eine aeltere) installiert und bin damit auch sehr zufrieden. Ich bin mittlerweile aus dem Alter raus, in dem ich immer die neuste Version installiert haben musste. ;) Daher habe ich Unity auch noch nicht ausprobiert. Aber bald ist ein Uppdate fuer mein Netbook faellig….

Du nutzt sicherlich die Netbook Edition. Was hälst du denn von Unity auf dem Desktop-Rechner?

"Shell injections scare me since a long time"

The correct way to say this is:

"Shell injections have scared me for a long time."

When using "since", you use a definitive point in time:

"Shell injections have scared me since 2001."

Comment on Mysql::Error: Deadlock found when trying to get lock by Henryk

@Mina

Thank you for that pointer. It is good to see that postgress improved the granularity of their locks and algorithms making deadlocks less likely. But I'm sure that it is still possible to cause deadlocks in postgress. So good code should still be able to handle a deadlock in the database and it should also deal with the side-effects in the rails code.

I've documented a similar problem in the PostgreSQL database. You can read my analysis here: http://mina.naguib.ca/blog/2010/11/22/postgresql-foreign-key-deadlocks.html

The good news is that, in PG's case, it's being fixed in the database itself.

Does it work with TrueCrypt 7.0a?

I'm using a FAT fs for my tc volume (not sure if relevant) but when it gets mounted, it's mounted as root, not the logging in user.

Is there some way round this?

Cheers for the article
