   Really, this would be neat, but would it help at all? If you actually wanted a job, why not just read through them all and contact the ones that are near and interesting? - it's really not that hard, I read them all and I'm not even looking

   A few things: Mostly what RedHat sell is server services and a lot of the original market they competed with were similar services from IBM, Sun, SGI etc. I don't think support services work for desktop software, particularly not for non-bu

   But that doesn't mean it the same thing can't be created that's open instead.

   I don't see why someone couldn't create that as a layer on top of what Node.js already does since it's just a special case.

    Well, if she doesn't create a lot more value for Yahoo than her salary cost, her appointment will have been a failure and she'll have to leave. In principle Yahoo could be turned around to be a growing and massively profitable company again

    I think your underestimating the cost of taking on a 6 year old business with 400 million users and $500m in revenue. I'd be more worried if they only got $10k. Currently they are at $82,690 for 1945 backers which is $42.51 each, does anyon

    I use it all the time on my Linux machines and it runs fine on a single-core Athlon 2Ghz. Sure, it could be better, but it's certainly usable in it's current form, including full screen on a 1920x1200 monitor.

    I've seen Rasmus speak twice and talked to him once. He certainly is very interested in APIs. It seems a theme of his to hack a mashup together with an API that exposes information that wasn't previously available. I would guess that this p
