And also, all the technologies created for distributed computing by google i.e. Mapreduce, GFS, BigTable. Currently most of the web is using Hadoop, HBase, Cassandra and other tools which are all inspired by google work.

Facebook has chosen HBase over Cassandra http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=454991608919#

I'd prefer reading the book "The Accidental billionaire" instead of watching the movie "The social Network".

what about references of "nmap" in Matrix

waiting to see similar list for HN :)

I like the "if your use case need that, to build your own linux from scratch" part.

Well, if your aim is to understand the basics of OS by engaging with its code then you can try "Pintos". It was designed to introduce undergraduates to concepts in operating system design and implementation by requiring them to implement significant portions of a real operating system, including thread and memory management and file system access. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pintos 2. http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs140/projects/pintos/pintos_1...

How is it better than GitHub?

I want to finish a linux files managing application that I have thought a few days back. Though I haven't started coding yet, I hope to complete it by oct end.

I am particularly concerned with these things: 1) Does this idea make sense to you. 2) What core services do you expect it to provide.

thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind.

Though I haven't fully explored it yet, I would like to give you a suggestion. After a user enter some search keywords and press enter, the resulting blog(or article) is shown on different window(and control no longer remains on the main site page). It discourages a user to search more on your site as everytime he would have to close that new window and return to your main page. I think it would be better if you use space below search fields on the main page itself for this purpose.

It seems that inotify will be perfect for my requirement. Thanks a lot..

But then, process will have to continuously keep a check on the directory. So, the time interval will need to be figured out for the process to wake up and check the directory for the renames.
