I think it's fair if it's aimed at Oracle given Oracle's record in terms of "supporting" open source. It will probably hurt a lot many others though, including CentOS. I would be happy to provide a free copy to anyone that might want to use

Totally agree. I started my company 4 years ago. We have been pretty successful so far (several millions in revenue and big customers). There are times that people need to work a lot but there is no way you can work 7 or even 6 days a week

A point with which I strongly disagree is that some public businesses are profitable so we should leave them alone. First of all, it's trivial to be profitable if you control a monopoly. Also, being profitable doesn't mean you are efficient

Such as building their own private businesses and employing other people in the private sector. For example, it is much more beneficial to the country to build, say a new hotel (as this is Greece's biggest industry), instead of wasting the

I am not advocating tax evasion. I think, US for example, is a great place to do business, as opposed to Greece, because the letter of the law is followed and the rules are clear to everyone. I am just saying that the Greek government was s

I am not advocating something that extreme here. Not sure how familiar you are with Greece. Each of these organizations is overstaffed to a great extend. Then some of them are totally useless, like the public railroad. On the top of that th

I don't think I disagree with you. My whole argument in these posts is that tax evasion, although very real, did not lead Greece to this mess neither will its reverse take it out. The problem is the bloated public sector with all its relate

Greece does not provide its citizens with more social services than other European countries, I would say that they actually provide less. And although you are right about the deficit, again, the main problem is the inflated public sector w

You are arguing as if the Greek government is entitled at peoples' money no questions asked. What you are suggesting is to keep wasting the tax money to pay for the inflated public sector and all the money wasting state companies. They shou

But this is not the cause of the economic problems. The more appropriate solution would be to shut down the money-loosing public businesses (like the train org) and lay off as many people as needed from the public sector. This way, they wil

Auto updates of apps is the way to go if you have to build a native app. I expect more apps to move to that direction. At the moment the biggest problem I see is that there is not a framework for doing this, it has to be build from the scra

I disagree. Ineffective tax collection actually might be helping the greek economy. The government is so inefficient that I cannot imagine how paying more taxes would actually help in the long run. People can be more efficient and produce m

I am an entrepreneur myself and I think an 1x liquidation preference makes sense. You cannot get X dollars at a 3X valuation and then turn around and sell the company for X keeping 2/3 of X and only giving 1/3 of X to the investor. I think

Even if Apple allowed 3rd party vendors to make IPhone OS compatible phones, Android would still be free and Google would still push it as hard as possible, so the competition would still be there (which by the way is really good). Also, it

Very short-sighted. You need confidence as a sales person so that you avoid wasting your time when the customer is not going to buy but if you "manipulate" someone into buying something that is not useful for them, then go back to sell to t
