I'm all for great customer service, but 6-9% discount rates are frightening. It's not that hard to do direct paypal/credit card processing for something in the 2.5-4% range. That's a big chunk of a company's revenue, not to be given up li

As the person alleged to having made the initial remark: nobody at the Collaboration Summit panel said that Linux is not attracting younger developers. Every three-month cycle gets contributions from over 1000 developers, many of whom are

The rules help a lot, especially in the early training of the bayes database. It's amazing how much stuff is still caught by them... Over time, the SA bayesian recognizer gets good enough that the rules play a relatively small role. I th
