Do you mean that American stand in front of their dishwasher until the job is done? You must have wonderful evening!

And that's why more and more US citizen abroad are renouncing to their US citizenship. In Switzerland the number are growing every year, as thanks to FACTA even getting a simple bank account is almost impossible. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

Who cares multiple fork exist today and will continue the job even if Oracle pull the plug.

There is also a strong argument for company like Dropbox to avoid or at least not encourage too much client side encryption: deduplication. If deduplication is no more working, it will considerably increase their storage cost, which the core of their business.

The data is not available, this is only for Mozilla own usage and they don't even know if they want to publish the data at one point (not even a sample data set). This project is as close as Google or Apple, the only difference is that this time its Mozilla who is in charge, and they just say "hey we also provide a free API" (so this why they call it open

No this type of node is not appropriate for Hadoop. First of all Hadoop is all about data locality when you run it on physical hardware (if you really need performance), and this is not the case here. Moreover 8G of RAM can be quite a limitation for many Hadoop related task (Hbase node will require more). Today you can have blade system with 2000 core per rack with AMD, why if cores matters would you limit yourseld to Intel CPU?

Funny to see that the commitee members having the highest percentage of amemdement made by US companies are comming from UK....

Was about to buy a kindle book on Amazon when I realised that the kindle version was more expensive than the paper version! And it was not only for this particular book, but almost all the book are more expensive in Kindle version. This is insane! At least with a real book, I can give it to one of my friend and share it indefinitively. When they will come to more reasonable term I may resume to buy eBook but for the time being I'm not going to be their milk cow :)

As the dollar is currently not very high and as other countries have different standard of living 200K can be reached quite easily. Being a MD, Manager, Lawyer, or whatever in upper salary range in Switzerland will get you over 200K easily. The problem is also with the banking system, as the IRS tries to police the world, it's a nightmare for a US citizen to open a bank account in Switzerland, and a lot of Swiss bank just refuse to open an account to American citizen. That's maybe why ceremony of renunciation are hold quite often in Switzerland.

Ok so as his family decided to move to the US and take American citizenship, he should be prohibited to immigrate somewhere else? What about the citizenship of his parents prior the US one. Did they sell their soul when the took the US one? By the way, a lot of people are renouncing to the US citizenship because of the US tax system. IRS ask you to pay whatever the local tax system can be. For instance being a US citizen in Switzerland is such a hassle (try to open a bank account...) that ceremony for US citizenship renunciation are hold every week....
