Yup, I always try to indicate in the initial response whether or not such a feature would be considered for inclusion as well. I.e. "Sounds reasonable. I'll try to get to this when I can. Feel free to submit a patch in the meantime." or, "N

Feels like most of the people in Portland need to figure out what they want first. At their software industry summit, after a long series of surveys, the takeaway was that people in Portland value quality of life over making more money. Tha

On Skype: I've found that running our own IRC server and setting up ZNC* with accounts for all employees/developers has made a huge difference. The bonus for us is that since we do alot of open source work, it encourages developers to conne

True, I don't know what percentage of contributions to PHP are made while in employee of a corporation funding said contributions, but there are commercial supporters of PHP out there. I'm surprised how few people don't know that Zend exist

I've always assumed that the limits are there to make sure that no one can order 1000 instances and pay with a bad/stolen credit card. In other words, if the customer does a dine and dash, how much are we willing to lose?

Careful, since who knows what rule of back to back/throwaway ticketing you could be breaking by buying a ticket and not flying. The airlines probably would claim that this is illegal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airline_booking_ploys

That is the single phase that is common in most residential service in the US. It is separate from the 3 phase service you find in light industrial and large office buildings.

This is not fully correct, there is such a service as 'single phase' and that is what most US residential service consists of, where the transformers that step down line voltage at the pole, or in an underground vault to 2 separate legs of

Your analogy falls apart because there isn't such a thing as an open source mechanic. I develop open source software and I get tired of things like feature requests that amount to "please rewrite this project to do the exact needs of my pro

I think most of the people that could do that for the LAMP stack could probably get through setting up a Ruby or node server without too much extra time. Also, once you're done it, how hard is it do repeat? Yet I don't see folks making thes
