Dear Reader,
Have you checked out what everyone is reading lately? "When Linux Runs
Out of Memory" is our one of our most discussed articles on the Network.
Why? Memory is a precious commodity in computers, and what happens when
there's not enough to go around? Mulyadi Santosa explores the memory
management principles in the Linux kernel to explain how the Out of Memory
killer works--and how to avoid it.

In the seven years since Jack Ma co-founded Alibaba.com, the Alibaba web

John Heileman, Ma explains some of the reasons for the sites' success. He
values what he doesn't know as much as what he does know. One thing that
Alibaba CEO Ma knows is the Chinese market. He talks to Heileman about
what does and does not work in China. This episode is sponsored by the

LAMP and the Spread Toolkit
The LAMP stack provides almost anything a Very Serious Business needs to
run Very Serious Business Applications--except a reliable messaging
system. The Spread toolkit is powerful and open and easy to use; it's a
natural fit to add more power to LAMP. Jason Briggs demonstrates how LAMPS
can handle almost any job you can imagine.

Advanced HTML::Template: Filters
HTML::Template is a templating module for HTML made powerful by its
simplicity. Its minimal set of operations enforces a strict separation
between presentation and logic. However, sometimes that minimalism makes
templates unwieldy. Philipp Janert demonstrates how filters help you
regain simplicity and separation of concerns.

When Linux Runs Out of Memory
Memory is a precious commodity in computers. Generally the more you have,
the better. Yet your application has to run alongside other applications,
and each wants its own area of memory. What happens when there's not
enough to go around? Mulyadi Santosa explores the memory management
principles in the Linux kernel to explain how the Out of Memory killer
works--and how to avoid it.
