I see. It would be really nice to have a community which develops hellepoll. After all, having a maintained alternative to node.js written in C++ would be very nice. I'm not saying…

This is pretty cool. Do you plan to continue working on hellepoll? I liked the idea and would love to see it developed further.

I couldn't agree more with the part about the search. It looks like they're in a bad position already if they plan to deploy such a feature. I'm guessing they're having some intern…

I don't normally wish people any kind of death other than a good natural one when they're extremely old, but I can certainly wish the corrupt politicians slow excruciatingly painfu…

This further proves that laws against this exact kind of thing have to be created, simply abolishing PIPA / SOPA is NOT by any means enough. It's not OK to do this. This kind of th…

They should add this for the base OS. Seriously, they should make it possible for people to debug their OSes and provide them with rewards and financial rewards as well. At least t…

Can we know for sure some of those folks didn't make those statements after being blackmailed by their record labels or some "interested party"? The way I see it, people change the…

It's better to allow these sites to continue to exist and demand that they comply with the requests than take them down with the FBI or whatever law enforcement agency. The precede…

If you've bought a Windows 7 kit and your DVD got damaged, you could copy a friend's disc or use one downloaded from work off technet / software assurance / msdn. The point is that…

No, not really. They can check the hashes against those of official ISOs from M$, thus making sure they don't come with extra "features". As for updates, they can get those too. Ho…

This is just sugar coating for the crap they're covering. I'd reduce it all down to: we didn't want people to use SQL Server on *NIX because we wanted to sell them expensive OS lic…

Great, thank you!

I'm sorry, I should've mentioned. I was talking about deploying these images on EC2 compatible clouds - like openstack / Eucalyptus. Some of us aren't customers of Amazon's EC2 ser…

That's great, good work! How about using them on something EC2 compatible, outside of EC2? Are they available somewhere?

From previous experience with AGPL licensed libraries and tools, I decided that it's best to avoid them without exception. Basically, GPL and LGPL are the only acceptable licenses …

It's AGPL licensed? That just upped this company's retarded level to maximum. I saw they raised 1.7 million USD in funding. Who was so stupid to give them money for this?

Actually, if it's too complicated to do something like just setting up that build and maintaining it for two platforms (development and, possibly, deployment), it's also very likel…

The problem is that some people still remember some of the stories about how Microsoft blackmailed some hardware vendors to stop shipping devices with Linux and how they sued compa…

They're trying to convince people opa isn't a load of trash. Write some code, tag it with "built for the cloud", say "it's the future / next gen / teh shit / extremely awesome / ni…

Due process? You mean like paying 50 millions to the congress to get a law to pass? Yeah, we can see how good this is. Law? You mean like the 1st amendment of the US constitution? …

I've got reasons to suspect that guy is working for godaddy as he keeps defending them. I really wish I could've downvoted him.
