Second biggest offender is usually Google Analytics.
That's why it's usually interesting to host the JavaScript file, that seldom changes on your webserver, and only have the img that conveys the data retrieved from the foreign host.
JavaScript loading is usually blocking the rendering whereas img loading usually not.
Actually if they are able to route it directly between satellites instead of having to do sat-earth round trips, it reduces the delay from 4, 6 or 8 trips to just 2 plus a little between sats.
Actually It seems even permitted by the GPL to a certain extend. In the GPL Certification Program [http://www.fsf.org/licensing/compliancelab.html] this case is explicitely mentionned (5.a), and you only need to explicit the calling workflow (the protocol IMHO) between the non-GPL and GPL parts.
An interesting fact is that terrorists are also like that : they adapt faster to security measures than governments. As Bruce Schneier said[1], it's all about defending against what the terrorists did last time. You shall never underestimate creativity for evasive maneuvers.
Usually a read triggers a write since there is the Last Acces Time attribute to update. Under windows it is driven by the NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate registry parameter, under UNIX it's the noatime mount parameter.
That's perhaps one cause of your filesystem usage increase.
It's actually quite useful to have a proper exception handling scenario, in order to release things nicely. In a language like C you don't have a destructors, so you have to implement yourself.
Using GOTO can be useful to "linearise" the execution flow such as in :
int foo() { // Acquire resource A
A* a = allocate_a();
if (a == NULL) {
goto ERROR_A;
}
// Acquire resource B
B* b = allocate_b();
if (b == NULL) {
goto ERROR_B;
}
// Do something
int retval = first_processing(a, b);
if (retval == -1) {
goto ERROR_PROCESSING;
} ...
I couldn't agree more. It's a whole different society with different manners and cultures than the US. The one thing is that it's called a western country, so since foreigners expect less differences than in Japan or in India they are usually in a unexpected culture shock.
A nice book to read to understand more France and french people is Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong
Actually, in some 'sensitive' companies (for example: stock exchange brokers) all communications involving a third party are officially tapped. It's done in order to prevent some obvious abuses.

Or, Google Programming Language. All of your code should be GPL.
Very nice one... I didn't even see it coming
... As Google Language. And then opensource their development stack, codenamed openGL.
640 kilos actually... but you can always attach some external "weight boosters".
And then wait the 64-nozzle era of space flight...

Hmmm... I think you're right, it is quite explicit "remotely through a computer network".
Nothing is mentioned about IPC on the same machine.
So I don't know if it can apply.
Isn't that why the Affero GPL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License) was created ?

I'm all in favor of YAML, that's really human readable,
Just like Gillette's CEO : Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades

But a question remains: If we manage somehow to teleport all the atoms/quarks/whatever of something, will it still be alive ?
Any IT departement really interested in HA has redundant servers anyway.
:-)
IMHO having downtime on a server is not so much important as before. Just as it isn't so important to hunt every little bit of optimisation nowadays.
Specially for you --- all Java/C# lovers

Anyway, as
another thread on slashdot points it, spammers may be the first to adopt it.
