Yes and no. No: in France at least, very few people use it. Yes: those who do use it in France, use it to talk people internationally (ie. in English).

Well, I can see a company about to sink (RIM) and leaving a big empty space for a smart move here. If twitter can take that space and provide enterprises and people along a way to exchange encrypted messages painlessly, that'll be perfect.

Don't be rude and I won't. Also reading my sentence in its context will help. The parent thread read "Linux was a kernel that the GNU project added well after both projects were underway". I was highlighting the fact that GNU is not respons

Well, just so you know, it's not limited to your industry. The "You guys wouldn't believe some of the stuff I've seen out there" is almost instulting given what I have seen. I guess it's just anybody out there who's been in contact the real

GNU added nothing. The GNU/Linux combination has nothing to do with GNU.

The whole website is a PR/FUD base for Mark Logic. Check their Wikipedia page too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MarkLogic I guess they're tyring "to fully utilize the potential of the internet".

You certainly mean "the problem solved by select() alternatives such as kqueue(), epoll(), etc..". :)

Regarding Javascript, I think it suits well the async paradigm because that's how people expect Javascript to be. Why isn't Javascript a good server-side language?

Agreed. But even "not calling input and output transforms" is incorrect. JSON, just like XML or the next thing we will come up with, has to be parsed to be any use. This may happen under the hood but this is still happening. I guess what

I was about to extract a few quotes showing a blatant lack of understanding whatsoever. In the end it got too lengthy. Looks like a Ninja stepped on the wrong land today. All the references to threads are probably the most difficult to unde

I'm not sure you should provide ETL capabilities.. Usually, ETL and visualization are separate steps in the workflow and sometimes even in a team. If it's too limited in scope it won't be very useful anyway.

I'd really love to see an operator for this in Python as well. I feel it's lacking.

I wrote an ETL thing recently based on generators. It's quite similar in concept to the paper[1] that David Beazley wrote (without ever hearing about the paper though). Source's available at https://bitbucket.org/saalaa/sauceboat When I'l

I know very little about the economy in the UK and I'm curious to understand why you say that your economy is closer to that of the US than that of France or Germany (or any other EU economy for that matter).

You are technically right but the driving forces were France and Germany. Those two countries have a long history of wars and one of the goal of the European Coal and Steel Community, which started the whole thing, was to bring peace in the

You shouldn't really judge the rest of Europe through Eurovision. I don't want to pull the wrong rope but how can you group cultures like Slovakia, Spain, Greece... and saying "we" are different. Europe as a whole is a bunch of countries wi

I'd say that their assets in China only are worth more than this. Carrefour has literally withdrawn from Thailand (they had a large and well placed fleet of shops and a good reputation) to invest everything in China. They had long been in C

This is not correct. At least you can't say that without depicting the full picture. Greece is a country that can't afford it operations. It has no economic growth and large unemployment. It survives by borrowing money. In a "normal" situat

As you are from the UK, I will warn you. Every news you read from a British source should be cross-checked with another source (just so you have another take on it). Don't get me wrong, I have no animosity toward the UK or anything like thi

I don't think so. Instead, price will likely not decrease; especially as/if demand grows.
