Google is heavily involved as well, in both the client libraries and the agent development. In addition to Google, Omnition, Microsoft and others are also major contributors. All o…

At Pattern Insight ( http://patterninsight.com ) we have build a source code search engine. We do not give this to our customers as a standalone tool most of the time but it's the …

I think it's fair if it's aimed at Oracle given Oracle's record in terms of "supporting" open source. It will probably hurt a lot many others though, including CentOS. I would be h…

Totally agree. I started my company 4 years ago. We have been pretty successful so far (several millions in revenue and big customers). There are times that people need to work a l…

A point with which I strongly disagree is that some public businesses are profitable so we should leave them alone. First of all, it's trivial to be profitable if you control a mon…

Such as building their own private businesses and employing other people in the private sector. For example, it is much more beneficial to the country to build, say a new hotel (as…

I am not advocating tax evasion. I think, US for example, is a great place to do business, as opposed to Greece, because the letter of the law is followed and the rules are clear t…

I am not advocating something that extreme here. Not sure how familiar you are with Greece. Each of these organizations is overstaffed to a great extend. Then some of them are tota…

I don't think I disagree with you. My whole argument in these posts is that tax evasion, although very real, did not lead Greece to this mess neither will its reverse take it out. …

Greece does not provide its citizens with more social services than other European countries, I would say that they actually provide less. And although you are right about the defi…

You are arguing as if the Greek government is entitled at peoples' money no questions asked. What you are suggesting is to keep wasting the tax money to pay for the inflated public…

But this is not the cause of the economic problems. The more appropriate solution would be to shut down the money-loosing public businesses (like the train org) and lay off as many…

The article points out many of the problems of the greek economy, like: * The inflated public sector * The power of the unions over the government * The corruption in certain areas…

When I mentioned framework, I meant something more than apt-get that just fetches and installs the packages. Something that would allow me to build background updates in my app lik…

This looks good but does it support background updating like Chrome? I am not aware of a win or a Linux (I mostly work on Linux) solution either

Auto updates of apps is the way to go if you have to build a native app. I expect more apps to move to that direction. At the moment the biggest problem I see is that there is not …

I disagree. Ineffective tax collection actually might be helping the greek economy. The government is so inefficient that I cannot imagine how paying more taxes would actually help…

I am an entrepreneur myself and I think an 1x liquidation preference makes sense. You cannot get X dollars at a 3X valuation and then turn around and sell the company for X keeping…

Even if Apple allowed 3rd party vendors to make IPhone OS compatible phones, Android would still be free and Google would still push it as hard as possible, so the competition woul…
