leej··on 30 to 40 Percent of VHS Films Will Never See Another Format
is there any public or industry group registry for those movies?
leej··on Facebook's "Open Compute" Server tested
Alex public memcached development at Facebook seems to stopped for the last ~2 years. Is it really the case or still improving but not making it public? Also can we expect management tools for memcached in the future from Facebook?
leej··on Take back the simplicity of social networks with Tusulog
Cool but invite only?
leej··on CloudStack drops 'open core' goes completely open source
Explanation is rather confusing. Cloudstack is analogous only to OpenStack Compute and does not have specific storage part, right?
leej··on HTML5 based drag and drop game creator
Thanks for the response. Sorry but I'm confused. So future major/minor releases are free to upgrade for license owners?
leej··on HTML5 based drag and drop game creator
I have a question. Does early adopter license cover future major/minor releases?
leej··on Howto: Multi-domain SSL, Nginx, 1 IP address
i'm assuming you're not joking. it's "browser recognition" and this value is generally 99.9% for paid providers.
leej··on Howto: Multi-domain SSL, Nginx, 1 IP address
Do StartSSL issued free 1-domain certificates valid for all major desktop and mobile browsers? Can anyone confirm this? Most cert providers claim almost always 99% and above comptability but they dont claim any percent value on their website.
leej··on Motorola Snaps Up 280 North (YC 08) For $20 Million
it seems like getting founders to Motorola and Wufoo is ridiculously profitable? really? i'm surprised.
leej··on MongoDB 1.6 stable released
you're in no position to tell me what i say! it's simply awkard to use a license like that. also you, yourself, admitted the conflict of client vs server licensing. why this is so? because they want widest usage. they release open source software not because they love developers but because they have to. returning to the point apache or gpl projects have strong commercial backing from big companies to start-ups and knowing this i'm asking there must be a real reason why they did choose agpl over gpl or apache. btw, it's their choice i respect that as well.
leej··on MongoDB 1.6 stable released
i dont get why do they still stick with agpl. there are a lot more _companies_ built on products with licenses other than agpl, such as, wildly popular apache projects. even microsoft releasing code with apache license but not mongodb guys!
leej··on Membase a new NoSQL
* there are alternatives but the backers give this project one up. * web site needs a significant overhaul. * this was a commercial product, if i am not mistaken, and just recently opened up. * is this forked off memcached or just another NoSQL with memcached compatibility is still a mystery.
leej··on What’s The Secret Behind Diapers.com Success? A Kiva Robot Warehouse
afaik, amazon does not use this kind of tech, at least for most of the shipments. does anyone know why? not ready for amazon-scale operations?
leej··on Pixar films don't get finished, they just get released
i think software analogy is not quite right. after sw is released next iterations or "sequels" are generally refinement of the first. movies are not.

if google is a search provider mapquest or other map engine results should have been there like it does web content from yahoo or microsoft.
leej··on Canon Hack Development Kit

it's more correct to say that ms has "integrated" tcp/ip into windows.
leej··on A New Approach to Printing with Google Cloud Print
open standard is not open just because there are no loyalties. a standard is open when it's managed by a consortium or task force. OpenGL is one, for example.
leej··on MySQL 5.5.4 is Very Exicting
a few numbers would have been better than 5.5.4 is very exciting
leej··on IMVU Memcached Usage Per Node at 150K Requests/Second
