skype still has the best echo cancellation (that i've tried). you don't even need to wear headphones. according to a Tox developer: there aren't any comparable open source libraries.

i'd say it depends on how important a project you are working on. if it's another run of the mill CRUD app, that only get's used internally by a few people, then you'd want cheap/fast, low quality. if it's mission critical, air plane software, you take your time and get it right.
but the author is hinting in the right direction: today "slow" get's undervalued. i've been told i work slow, and yea it had a negative meaning. i interpret it as good: i take my time and do it right. maybe i was just working in the wrong company, where the software quality isn't that important versus churning out more.

hi, this project looks really neat! i'm evaluating icinga web + pnp4nagios at work, but this could be a viable alternative. cheers and glad you put this out there :-)
i see that you use Protocol Buffers. from google's page, it seems like they only work with C++, Java or Python. now this could be a problem for us. what if i want to pull events from a bash script, a delphi gui app, SNMP, Dell idrac interface, or any other event? do they have to interface over Protocol Buffers, or am i missing something here? would i have to write a glue layer?
and what about, if you have two seperate networks, and want one server to forward data for its entire lan to the other server, to process and graph them?

xen: you can install any kernel
openvz: only the host kernel gets shared amoung guests and less isolation. also in the past there was no swap support, seems to work now.

"Now I wish people online would put a huge disclaimer saying "I'm only interested in arguing for the fun of it, not in finding an actual solution" before their posts. That would have saved countless hours of online typing wasted for nothing."
there's many things that get expressed "between the lines". arguing for the fun of it has benefits. for one, ideas get exchanged, validated and who knows: maybe something useful comes out of it.

Sane defaults is fine. Hidden options limits its capabilities which are sometimes essential.

I dont get why your QA is better than red hats. They have a much longer experience with their product.

for the open source chromium, there's a command line option to set how quickly it should release memory to the OS:

i once built a clojure web app and used a startssl free certificate. it worked fine after i imported it into the java keystore. i was using OpenJDK under linux. were you using Oracle's java?
cinch | 14 years ago | on: Don't submit to the SSL cert racket. You can get one for no charge
when you sign up they install a certificate in your browser. without that, there's no way to login to your startssl account! so make sure to make a backup of it. i lost my account because i didn't realize this...
