    ...can we stop "mashing" things. Right now.

    It is a silly new word, which brings no new meaning.

    There are plenty of good alternatives, technical or not -- combine, connect, link, interface, integrate, etc.

      It's better than "squirting" Apache into OO.org.

      One could make any number of Apache squirting jokes but this is /. after all.

    An anonymous reader, points us to an IBM article that you can't read without signing up for, gives no summary, and whose title makes no sense "mash apache derby" ? Can we reject stories like this or at least make them clarify what the hell they're even talking about?

    Registration-required links make baby jesus cry.
