If anyone uses a product other than one of the many they offer in their stack, they start going on the offensive…

Latest battle brewing here:

http://blogs.atlassian.com/rebelutionary/archives/000670.html#comments

It’s funny that the whole thing started by a blog post by an Atlassian employee (Spring user – making of JIRA and Confluence.. Great company)

I just can’t believe how arrogant some of the JBOSS folks are. It really makes me NOT want to use any of their stacks. Even their answers to questions in the hibernate forums tell their users to essentially f-ck off. I just can’t believe it. A link to that particular post is linked in the comments section above.

When you hear of Open Source database companies working together for the greater goodness of the community (Postgres/MySQL sharing vulnerability info), you really respect both companies. JBOSS on the other hand will NEVER ever compliment another team's work.

AMD’s second quad-core chip is code-named Greyhound, it is reportedly designed for desktops, also sports shared level-two cache, but features DDR2/3 memory controller as well as HyperTransport 3 interface, which means that it will require a new infrastructure. The Greyhound processor is expected to arrive in the first half of 2008, about a year after Intel’s quad-core Kentsfield chip for desktops.

Seriously, who did NOT see this coming?

“The big news out of the interview is there will be a “24″ movie filmed in the summer of ‘07 with a release in ‘08. The movie will still take place over a 24 hour period, but will consist of three 40-minute real-time parts allowing for Jack Bauer to travel greater distances during the course of the story and bring him to more varied locations.”
