That’s the problem with perpetual copyright. By the time the work enters the public domain it is irrelevant. |

That should take about 8,000 seconds to download. 80,000 seconds is different. |
Feb 15 00:10 |
| PetoKraus |
and in fact, we have 10mbit, where the throttle chucks in after 1200 MB… |
Feb 15 00:10 |

The difference between two hours and 20 hours. |
Feb 15 00:10 |

20 GB should not take more than a couple of days. |

Throttles are evil. |

“The problem is the following: Many Web publishers, especially those that have voluminous sites, like e-commerce companies, have multiple URLs that all point to the same page. This confuses search engines, sometimes causing them to index the same page multiple times. As much as 20 percent of URLs on the Web may be duplicates, according to some estimates.” |

“I work at MySQL, and I can tell you that Marten’s departure will be a good thing. Matt Asay doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Marten is basically anti-open source. He’s got this duplicitous way of looking at the world that forced us to split our ability to contribute with our business priorities. Unlike the rest of Sun, which is far better aligned to one product = one community (Witness Solaris and Glassfish). “” |

He’s in Red Hat now. |
Feb 15 23:13 |
| toros |
yes, I know, and I think he’s now at a better place…  |
Feb 15 23:14 |

I think he’s happy there. They are both RPM-based, so it’s no big change. Another colleague from Mandriva joined him. |
Feb 15 23:14 |

Mandriva is not really popular here in Hungary… |
Feb 15 23:17 |
| silentivm |
here in Brazil it is somewhat popular |
Feb 15 23:17 |
| silentivm |
mainly because a lot of people used Conectiva, which was bought by Mandriva |
Feb 15 23:17 |
| toros |
I read that new Mandriva releases are good |
Feb 15 23:18 |
| schestowitz |
Mandriva is partly a Brazilian venture, IIRC |
Feb 15 23:18 |

It’s also big in Russia and it’s competitive with SUSE in EU |
Feb 15 23:18 |

Feb 15 23:23 |

with some apps, you depend on this documentation |
