  1. eBay owns content?? on Judge Bars eBay Crawler · · Score: 1

    First off, I'm profoundly disturbed by government intervention into an issue that can undoubtedly be solved with code.

    Indeed eBay owns it's publically accesible servers, but who owns the content?

    After all, can eBay rightfully edit, modify or remove the listings in question? (Remove perhaps, upon poster's misconduct).

    If not, then the seller still owns the content, in my opinion. Without that content, what have they got?

    So, now what -- tie this ruling and the DMCA together and sue AOL for using proxy servers to 'aggregate' content?

    "You can't download this page, cuzz.. I don't like you."

    If this flies, can I restrict access to my site to those with T1's?

    "Sorry, due to your slothful connection, you've exceeded the maximum allowable download time, you can expect a call from our lawyer."

    Apache::Slothful now available at your local CPAN mirror!

  2. Re:When MySQL gets slashdotted on TheBench.org: Community Cartooning · · Score: 1

    Hmm, 101 connection limit .. you can customize all this stuff.

    You realize that would mean 101 Apache's at 3MB-10MB+, plus memory for each MySQL thread.

    If you've got that much memory, then you ought to have the processor speed to handle many many httpd->mysql hits per* second. My poor PI-233 at home does 20+ per second on a user-lookup-table, for instance.

    That's a-lot-a-hits-and-web-servers
