No, I do not. Mostly because nobody other than me uses my computer really, so I don't need it.
And Debian doesn't come with sudo installed, and I'm too lazy to install and configure it.

I am Indian, and no, I do not refresh the desktop. In fact, I don't even know anyone who does that.

Also, all the other points in the post are <insert an appropriate profane word of your choice>

I don't really like frameworks.

They have their own quirks and a lot of them need to be 'learnt' how to use even for programmers who have experience with the language the framework is written in....

You can create a click-to-execute jar file, with the following steps:

Compile your Java classes:

$ javac *.java

Create a manifest file called MANIFEST.MF with the following contents:

I don't think so. I've never noticed any significant speed advantage with Samba.
And congrats.
I too run a whole bunch of stuff off my machine (it runs Debian though). webserver, SSH, VPN, jabber...

It's where USians come from.

and lol.

You're confusing "The World" with USia.

USia is built upon greed. Not the world.

It's like any other job.
Depends on the project. I normally can judge what projects may be interesting and what may not be, but sometimes you do end up doing some boring stuff.
At some point,...

lol. I guess it's time for Yahoo, Facebook, Wordpress et.al. to pack their bags then?

PHP is pretty much built for the web. Google offering free toys isn't going to change anything.

They should probably use eRuby. Ruby off the rails and with all the hackish PHP code-mixed-with-markup goodness. Only problem is that it is a lot slower than PHP. :)

It can run either through FastCGI (using persistent processes) or through mod_python (where the interpreter is controlled by the webserver),
I think rails only does FastCGI.

Also, this Google...

Actually, I am an experienced web developer.

My own home site runs on python, with a nice little app I made up myself, no turbogears/django involved.

And I am not talking about 'just' fastcgi...

Orly?
GoDaddy.com (that huge and nasty domain registrar) parks the domains booked through it on IIS. It's own website is run on Windows. Myspace.com (serving up a sea of ********) runs on Windows...

Except, this has nothing to do with Linux, open source or any of that stuff.

If you are interested in web development I second the PHP suggestion.

Nevermind these python and rails suggestions. While I like python and ruby, you'll lose interest setting up the framework and...

You know, I used to think that Java isn't really a bad language.

Tea.

Coffee is for USians and wannabe USians.

My eyerything-box running Debian Unstable:

Why the ouch?

no.
family doesn't. I have no friends.
no.
No friends.
Doesn't seem like it.
Yes.
no.
no.

I don't spend any time at the ubuntu forums, most of my time is wasted here.

LOL. Web designers wanting to use Linux.

I thought they were in love with their gaudy Apple PCs.
