It would seem that way. I haven't looked at the protocols, but I do have the OS X Server app ($19.99) running on a Mini on my home network with the caching functionality turned on. It appears to be nothing but a CDN that caches various Apple downloads (software, media..) locally and acts similarly to a transparent proxy. I wouldn't be horribly surprised if it was running Squid, but - like I said - I haven't looked at it. So if we're now at the point that content caching is anathema, then we'd better all just unplug from our ISPs and start sneaker netting everything. Or something.

After reading your ignorant prattling, we're all pretty clear now on what a penis is.

Where exactly do they say it's open source?

So we can't even be bothered to read the summary anymore? (to be fair, it's certainly possible the summary has been edited since you commented, but fixing a summary isn't very /.-ish)

Oh, they could have easily added more ports. They only omitted them to piss you, personally, off. Lots of engineering discussions and money were spent on that decision, but in the end it was well worth it.

Why, with my 30+ years of embedded development ranging from microsequencers to ARM, should I know anything at all about Hadoop?

Because parent AC is horribly inexperienced or exceedingly sheltered and has no idea that there's more to CS than some web platforms and tools?

The only hits you'll get will be from really desperate companies that will bail on you the first chance they get or companies run by complete idiots. Or maybe HHS with a website project.

Forgot to add: I think you meant "your ilk's". Comes off sounding much more in line with the people you were trying to make fun of.

That was hilarious. Probably one of the funniest HuffPo parodies I've seen in a long time. Although, to be fair, even they probably aren't quite that stupid. You might want to turn it down a few notches. Unless you were going for DailyKos or LGF. Then I'd say it was pretty spot on.

I didn't know Roblimo was actually Rich Olsen. Weird.

BTW Rich, sorry for all the crap you're going to get on this article. The problem isn't you. It's the drooling, ass-kissing submittal that's most likely irritating people. And, apparently, the autoplay video. Whatever.

Your trolling would be more effective if you could post with a 5 digit account rather than as AC. Then again, someone might actually take the bait no matter how mangled and old that worm is.

Did they find any film showing Brian Williams right there with them?

When someone that makes their living selling a product reverts to an appeal to emotion to get business, I figure they're unable to articulate a rational use-case for their product.

In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

They forgot to use the phrases "much maligned" and "beleaguered". But "silently" is always a great fallback.
