  1. Re:MOM - Motherly Object Model on High Availability Solutions for Databases? · · Score: 1

    I'd guess a VACUUM call would fit in nicely.

  2. Expanding to Linux... on New Survey Finds No Linux 'Chill' From SCO Suit · · Score: 2, Informative

    A new (potential) customer of the company where I work at (as a Software Engineer), has pecifically requested that our software should be able to run on a Linux server. As far as I know, management approved with this.
    At this moment, we support several Unix variants and an experimental Linux port is already working.

    So, definately "no pulling the plug" here :-)

  3. Slashdot, a groklaw mirror? on Viral GPL Misconceptions Elegantly Explained · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just one question. Why does slashdot keep 'mirroring' almost every single story from groklaw?

    I've been lurking on groklaw for quite a while now, it's stories and replies have always had a high 'standard' and I have to admit: once this 'mirroring' began, the posted comments on groklaw started to lose quality and became more and more superficial.

    Thanks slashdot! ..... :-(

  4. Re:How will this work? on BIND Strikes Back Against VeriSign's Site Finder · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it just be possible for BIND to do a lookup once in a while for "*.com" or "*.net"?
    If the address of any queried domain matches this IP address --> NXDOMAIN

    Oh btw: make it configurable so it can be applied to any TLD :-)

    Or am I missing something here?

  5. Re:a few simple suggestions on OSS Usability Group Forming · · Score: 1

    Users already have enough stuff to memorize, so don't make them memorize bizarre key-combinations.

    However, don't leave the "bizarre" key-combinations out for those who are willing and able to memorize them.
    Personally, I hate to use the mouse and I'll use the keyboard in anyway I can.
