Redesign Cripples Paypal Service. Problems implementing a site redesign have hampered operations of the Paypal service, halting some payment processing for eBay auctions and web merchants. [Netcraft] Oops. You'd like to think that site design and backend performance are two disctinctly seperate issues. Alas, that is not the case. I have had occasion to make changes to CSS that prevented a site from functioning, although it looked pretty. Just yesterday, I added a simple rewrite rule to Apache that broke the layout and prevented forms from functioning properly on the CALI website. I feel their pain. 12:08:58 PM comment [] trackback [] |

| |||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||
This represents a sort of indemnification: Novell will defend, using its patents, claims of infringement made against open source software it sells, supports, or markets. Considering the fact it owns and is actively marketing Suse, this seems to indicate that Novell will defend OSS in the Suse distro, which is a pretty wide cross section of what's out there today. |
