Please don't mix technique and business: XML is not a company, and contributing to the creation of a technology is not "co-founding" it.
Tim Bray is one of the creators of XML, like Vint Cerf can be said to be the inventor of TCP, but they are not "co-founders" of the said technologies.
Obviously the flaw itself is (a) old, and (b) not specific to Debian.
The only point of (little) interest of the article is that it highlights that the SSH specifications - the RFC - has not been updated yet.
Wireless broadband is not that fast (or at least not always), fast enough for a dozen of emails, but possibly not fast enough if hundreds of emails with attachements.
Twice the volume of 2010, i.e. 24,228 would be 48,456 which is less than 43,518. So, though not quite doubled in one case listed there, to say that it would double every two years would be incorrect. And we'd be all over that if they had claimed it to be. IMHO, to say 'double' is a reasonable way to express this concept.
Well, using terms such as "approximately" or "roughly" is certainly more applicable than quotes, which are akward when used to indicated uncertainty in a quantity.
This post's subject is misleading: - suspend2 project is not suspended - Nigel Cunningam will keep working on it - it's only inclusion in vanilla kernel (mainline) which is unclear
Trying to make puns in subjects is not always a good idead...
There are two problems:
- it has to be said CIFS is not mature yet (that's great seeing active developement there though)
- how to you connect to legacy SMBFS servers which do not support CIFS ?
I just tried myself converting my fstab from smbfs to cifs. I obviously had to convert back to smbfs for some legacy shares I'm accessing which don't know CIFS, and I also ended up converting the others back to smbfs because of multiple problems (failures to mount, buggy directory listings, dmesg full of complains, etc.).
I'm using a kernel 2.6.9, cifs 1.22, mount.cifs 1.5.
While I do agree with your conclusion, one thing is important though : they compared with a MySQL database which tables where actually all in RAM.
So I would say that this kind of persistence can be very nice for small/medium databases; but I guess you're right, there is some problem when your database is getting bigger (comparable to your RAM).
You should have read some postfix architecture wrapup before stating that qmail has the edge : postfix design follows those precise two points.

Submitter of the story also is CEO of Code Weavers

In such a story praising a product, it should IMHO be highlighted (or at least made clear) that the original story was submitted by the CEO of the company who makes that product.
No wonder why the post makes no references to free or open source software that may suit the more or less same needs.
In such cases, I think moderators should maybe not quote word for word the text submitted, but should put the story submitted into some perspective, and add some information.
Are patent examiners' voices heard in the debate about patents in Europe ? What is their feeling about patents on algorithms, software or file formats ?
Could you tell us if you, as a patent examiner feel lobbies pressure ? And if yes, how ?

Easier to maintain, more portable accross platforms, easier to do more complex stuff, easier to integrate/reuse existing librairies/code, etc.... ?
Useless use of cat !

You said it : "so far".

Well this wasn't actually... ;-)
Wasn't this a nice try to submit a relevant first post ?
This is a dupe... :(

I had posted this reply as coward, and I'd prefer not being modded down for this...
Please mod the other.

Dont' forget echo.
Why not have times used in slashdot articles given in UTC time and then possibly converted to the user preference timezone.
Sorry, but when the f**k is 5 PM CST... ?
I know I can find that info, but well, it'd like not to have to, I'm not american...and not all slashdot readers are.
