Some other comments mention that you can just clone your git repositories and use that a backup, but that's not practical when you're using git workflow as a core part of running your development team.
Relying on external services is never a good business move, so the a solution is to use GitHub Enterprise, which lets you run a private copy of the GitHub site on your own servers, with your own backup solution and security provisions.
True! The first thing I did upon reading this was go visit Linux Today so I could be disgusted by the adverts myself!
It's clearly a big ploy to get more traffic to their site. Anything anti-linux == lots of traffic!
Doesn't using non-`free as in speech' software to encode the stream kind of defeat the whole point of this..?
``For encoding we are using the free Oddsock DSP plugin for Winamp. This encoder converts the live audio input from the speech.bot into a streaming Ogg Vorbis file. This file is then sent as a 'continuous stream' to the server.''

It's also worth trying to telnet to port 25 on the MX servers just to see if they're actually alive and listening. At one point, my previous ISP had about 6 MX servers, but only one of them accepted incoming SMTP traffic, the rest just
gave "Connection refused". It stayed like that for about a month; the email reliability was awful.

Maybe this is what your coworker is advocating.

I nmaped them with the exact same command yesterday, and got a result of FreeBSD. I guess they changed the OS in a real hurry...
Yeah, it was in a comment. Here it is:

I think I saw it mentioned in a comment in the slashdot code. Or maybe it was in an interview once, I don't remember...
The Linux 2.4 todo list can be found here, and an article detailing the new features of 2.4 is here.
