GNU-Friends Interviews

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the read-all-about-it dept.

Jonas Öberg writes "GNU-Friends is doing a series of interviews with long-time free software hackers that I think people would be interested in. Check out interviews with Arnold Robbins, Karl Berry, Andrew L. Moore, Guido van Rossum, David MacKenzie and Chet Ramey. More to come, but that should keep people occupied for a few minutes." The GNU-Friends should have a show right after Superfriends.

    The slashdot effect shouldn't hamper DNS lookups. The slashdot effect would only play a role *after* my machine knows the numeric IP address. If anything, the slashdot effect should speed up the DNS lookup if it has any effect at all, becuase it increses the likelyhood that upstream name servers have the name cached from previous users.

    Don't label something "offtopic" unless you know the topic well enough to tell what's on topic.

    then it sure won't be GNU/Girlfriend, that is something that won't be shared

    Sigh, another misunderstanding of the GPL. You don't have to distribute your GNU/Girlfriend at all. It's just that if you do, you also have to share a complete sample of her DNA.

    The DNA sample can either be provided with the GNU/Girlfriend, or you can keep it on file and run off copies as people request them, for a reasonable media (test tube? DVD-ROM of sequence? not sure) duplication fee.
