Google provides a test page where you can enter a URL and it will process the page and report on expected improvements. The test takes awhile -- depending on the queue. I have submitted a heavy Javascript-ed page to satisfy my own curiosity. Perhaps, you should do the same for PHP et al.
Well, the term "stepping stone" may be a bit misleading. If I had to guess, I would say one possible use of a large gravity well is as an accelerating slingshot.
I find my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to be a fair contender. It has an elegant design and the functionality is on par with the iPad 2 for exactly the same price. Granted, the iPad 2 comes in a 64 GB variety, which the Tab 10.1 does not. Also, the iPad 2 is available with 3G capability. That version of the Tab 10.1 is not out yet. However, if you compare the 2 models of the Tab 10.1 (the 16 GB and the 32 GB) WiFi only with their equivalently outfitted iPad 2 models, there is very little difference other than the OS and the available apps.
So, it seems that what is really being said here is that the Python development environment on Mac OS X sucks. Well, that may be. I have no experience with it.
I prefer Java, Javascript, Tomcat/JBoss and MySQL as my development stack of choice. I use Eclipse as a development environment and I am quite happy with it. I develop, primarily, on a Mac and most often deploy on some version of Unix/Linux. I don't see any issues. What works on my Mac works on the deployment systems as well.
For what it is worth, I think there is a Python plug-in for Eclipse.
I am not sure what age has to do with it. I am 54 and still play computer games regularly.
My preference is for empire building games. The Civilization series has been a constant favorite. I am playing Civ5 now and really enjoying it. I am also a Masters of Orion fan. The Total War releases are some of the most involved strategic and tactical games I have played.
I am also quite fond of RPG type games. Neverwinter Nights being a good example of such.
Though, I have to say, I am occasionally hooked by a real time action game. The last one to really suck me in was Assassin's Creed. I have Assassin's Creed 2 sitting beside the PS3 waiting. Maybe I can carve out a block of time during this holly-daze season.
If I have friends over and we want to jump into some quick and easy game playing, there is always Tekken and similar combat games.
Real median household income in the United States fell between the 2007 ACS and the 2008 ACS. Household income decreased 1.2 percent, from $52,673 to $52,029.3
The median household income estimates in the 2008 ACS ranged from a median of $70,545 for Maryland to $37,790 for Mississippi.
Sorry but you are not making any sense. Over regulation does not equate to poor regulation. They are not the same thing. Over regulation implies that there should be less regulation. Poor regulation means there should be better (not less) regulation.
This seems to be the case with Netflix already. The watch on demand TV episodes seem to come available after the season is over. For me, this is no big deal. I just watch shows time shifted. I also catch up on older ones that I never saw because I haven't watched broadcasted television in a long time.
I suppose my statement was a little misleading. I do keep Eclipse open for days at a time. Its been running since Monday morning right now.
Also, you are right about it being RAM hungry. The few crashes I have experienced have been because of just what you say. Practically though, I generally have it up Monday through Friday.
Perhaps, its because I am running it on a Mac:-)
Curious statement. I've never had Eclipse crash on me during start up and almost never at any other times either. I use it almost every day -- sometimes for hours on end.
I think you give Greenpeace far too much credit here. The Greenpeace organization was one of many voices that spoke out against nuclear power plants in the 70s. I would hardly credit them with killing the construction of the plants. If anything, they were one of the least effective voices of the time.
A far more significant voice against nuclear proliferation back then was the Physicians for Social Responsibility. Other significant voices include the Clamshell Alliance and the Abalone Alliance. The list of organizations actively protesting against nuclear proliferation back then is quite lengthy. The Three Mile Island incident in 1979 served as a strong rally point for the movement.
Now, that said, your assessment of the situation may still be valid. It is quite possible that we would have produced less pollutants had we built more nuclear plants. However, without any real numbers, your argument falls flat in that regard as well.
There is nothing preventing you from doing this on the Android platform. Granted, it is a little more involved than writing a script and scheduling the script to run periodically. You will have to write it in Java. Using Google's SDK and their Eclipse plug-in, this is a fairly trivial task.
From what I can tell, the data they gathered is based on users around the world using their web site, Speedtest.net. So, there is no estimation on the part of the users. Also, the user who is testing their download and upload speeds does not have to be very tech savvy. All they have to do is open a browser, navigate to the site and click on a button to start the test.
The issue is much broader than just Texas. The State of Texas buys a significant number of text books -- so much so, that they can influence what the publishers print. Once printed, these same publishers will sell these same text books to other states. Some states -- like California -- will stand up and refuse these tainted text books. Other states will either not have the will or not have the clout to do so. If they want, relatively inexpensive text books for their schools, they will buy the tainted ones foisted on the market by members of the Texas school board.
I have been using a Mac Mini for several years now. As mentioned by another poster, Plex is a great companion for this setup. We do, occasionally buy things off of iTunes. More often than not we access Netflix's live streaming of movies and TV series. We do through the PS3 instead of the web site though because it seems to produce better quality and good buffering. We also have an HD antenna, which allows us to pick up about a dozen local stations.
Note, the Mac Mini also doubles as a shared file server and hosts our Time Machine backups.

I have to say, I am very pleased with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 for much the same reason you are happy with your iPad.

Clearly, this is the case for your english spelling and grammar education.

Kudos. I know where you are coming from.
Ha. Sales person and engineer are interchangeable? Ha!!! Never going to happen. Well, almost never.

Have you looked into how much money flows from the sports organization back to the university or college?

According to the report, proportionately large increases in income can have a temporary effect on overall happiness.
According to the American Community Surveys report:
Real median household income in the United States fell between the 2007 ACS and the 2008 ACS. Household income decreased 1.2 percent, from $52,673 to $52,029.3
The median household income estimates in the 2008 ACS ranged from a median of $70,545 for Maryland to $37,790 for Mississippi.

There is no evidence of too much regulation here -- just wrong or poorly done regulation.

Also, the user who is testing their download and upload speeds does not have to be very tech savvy.
And how many people know of the existence of such a site? ...
According to netindex.com:
Based on millions of recent test results from Speedtest.net, this index compares and ranks consumer download speeds around the globe.
Here are some more numbers:
Top Ten Country Ranking requires at least 100,000 unique IP addresses for a given country.
World City Ranking requires at least 75,000 unique IP addresses for a given city
So, apparently, there are significant numbers of people around the world who are familiar with the site.

Wow, someone needs to clue in Google about this.
