Hopefully read-only snapshots and the usable fsck tool (supposed to be available this month) will make it in to 12.04. With 12.04 being a LTS release, it would be nice to have these btrfs features available to servers over the next 2 years rather than having to wait for 14.04. Yep I noticed the Ubuntu issue, too.

Ubuntu 11.10 still uses 0.19+20100601-3ubuntu3 which is from before March 2011. Debian, Ubuntu's upstream for this package, packaged the right version on <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/btrfs-tools.html" rel="nofollow">2011-08-28</a>. Ubuntu 12.04 still uses the old version, hopefully they update this package in the next sync with Debian Unstable.

They offload your feed in trade for statistics, but what a lot of webmasters forget is that it is forbidden to export personal data overseas for countries within the EU for example. In most cases IP-addresses are included as being personal data as it can be related and retraced to a person. A least that is in The Netherlands an issue. But again, developers really should start doing output validation. Making sure it is valide and safe. How many comment feeds are being offered thru FeedBurner and most of them are not sufficient checked. WordPress developers where informed years ago about this years ago and didn't pay attention until an exploit was posted by some one. With SOPA around the corner things can become interesting to put it mildly ;-) @Daniel Developers shouldn’t read access logs or maybe they should as most plugins stop giving you a redirect when you identify youself as FeedBurner ;-) Then again, FeedBurner is more then only statistics.

The problem Microsoft is having, they allowed third party e-mailaddresses on there platform as logon ID this needs to be sorted out before they could be part the XMPP Federation. But again, Google needed about 6 months to become part of the XMPP Federation. And AOL and Facebook are also still closed networks. Like you said, we can only hope, but for now XMPP for accessing instant messaging is becoming the norm. @Daniel True, but as for now the access for instant messaging is being standardized and this allows people to switch providers without any additional software changes on the client side.

Developers don’t know how to or do not want to spend time reading their servers’ access logs which would have provided almost all the same data. FeedBurner does statistics.

Which would have meant that it’s service would be interoperable with other XMPP service providers. They will, hopefully, allow for this kind of openness in the future.
