RAM is cheap but performance is what we sell.
This alleged Sun internal memo is making the rounds. According to the memo, engineers at Sun are not very happy with the large memory footprint and generally poor performance characteristics of the Solaris JRE. They want SPARC Java to be as light and nimble as SPARC Python. Who can argue with that?
Russell's OSS Prototype License.
Russell Beattie We need a license that says something like "I agree, by using this code, never to bug author with any questions, comments, thanks or support-related issues after TWO months of release date when said author has moved on to other more interesting things to work on."
Open source is not like a second unpaid job for me, as Russell suggested, because there is no real pressure for me to do anything. I could run off to the islands at any time and live off of coconut water and breadfruit if I wanted. Well, maybe not, but Roller is not the thing that is stopping me. Those questions, comments, thanks, and support issues are not irritants. They keep me interested. Still, I like Russell's OSS Prototype License idea. There is a place for that too.
Andy Oliver and the Wiki of Doom.
Ok Andy. I opened up the Wiki for one and all as you demanded. It'll work fine, you said. You'll be doomed to failure with a closed Wiki, you said. You have not make any edits yourself, of course, but now this whip-crackin' <a href= "http://www.rollerweblogger.org/wiki/attach?page=Scott%2Findycomp_a.jpg">off-topic cowboy has made his way onto my site. What say you, open community boy?
