Oh and just let me add, even this story title has something like "outs himself". Heh.

On top of that it has a blatant lie of him being Oracle employee when in the summary it's clear he isn't employed by Oracle but is an outside consultant. But let's not get the truth and facts get in the way of these paranoid conspiracy theories, even if it means twisting the truth.

I am constantly being accused of shilling for Microsoft on Slashdot just because I write that they do some good things. Seems like Mueller was accused for that too. Well, turns out that not true and these FOSS lunatics just make out some huge conspiracy theories how the whole world is against them.

And by the way, who should comment on these issues then? Someone who doesn't work in the industry and doesn't know anything about it? Yeah right. But of course it's bad when the comments contain something you don't agree with. For the free speech and freedom, yeah right!

You know, there's a very good reason those certifications exist and why they cost a lot, especially in industries where things can get dangerous if managed by persons who don't know what they're doing. The high cost is not about making lots of money, it's about only having people who are seriously committed. That's also why Cisco and Microsoft certifications cost so much.

Usually commercial companies have thoughtful testing and QA process. They need to because they would be held liable for things like this, and it would also be devastating to their image. That's a huge difference to some open source project which is coded by some guy in his parents basement who probably doesn't even have a car but tests it in a simulator.

But just remember to submit patch or post on bug tracking system from the hospital or grave!

Yes, it is. Besides, Akamai is founded in 1998.

Both Amazon and Google (YouTube for the most part) are also business models designed around traffic management and content delivery. They don't generate that much traffic themselves. I know Amazon the store site is quite horribly coded, but I doubt it still generates 1% of internet traffic :-P

And delivering static content (images, videos, software executables and patches and so on) is what makes most of the traffic on Amazon's network, so thinking about non-internet related purposes on a story about how much traffic Amazon has is a moot point. Besides, Akamai's CDN and the availability of their network in different parts of the world is much more impressive than Amazon's.

Right. Akamai delivers around 20% of internet's traffic, is basically cloud content provider and has been so since the 90's. There's still long way for Amazon to go.
