Great talk on Twitter architecture as of Nov. 2010 by @rk. A lot of innovative high scale open source code and ideas are coming out of Twitter that will have (and already have had) a trickle down effect on the greater tech community dealing

the window merge is a new thing in riak 0.14, i believe. and you are correct the merge is only a consideration based on your use case. if you are using riak as a pure dump of immutable data you will not need to merge. if, however, your use

I have a bit of a problem with people, like you, who will call someone a liar. lie, noun, an intentionally false statement. To insinuate that someone is a liar used to be a considerable personal slight and writing it here makes it libelous.

I don't really think it matters for a number of reasons. Chief among them being motivation. If you are motivated enough to copy this idea then you would reverse engineer it as soon as you heard what they are doing without knowing exactly ho

That may be true, but is THIS an illegal botnet? What makes LOIC illegal? What makes a determined, coordinated request from thousands of volunteer computers illegal? I liken this to a civil disobedience sit in.
