I can't read stuff that mixes meters and feet. It requires endless calculations while reading, the end result being that I don't remember any of it afterwards.
Why would you store all the comments for an article in the same record? Makes for update/clashing hell. Just store the article id and reply-to comment-id along with each comment, and let the db/caching take care of the heavy lifting.
I somehow find it hard to believe that Skynet will run in a single process, especially given its spread out geographical locations. I bet it will be written in Erlang though.
I just did a small test on all three for the fun of it and you're right about the startup time. For a simple hello world on my machine, Ruby 1.9.2 takes on average ca 50 ms to execute, python 3.2 70 ms and Java 6 100 ms. That startup time difference is too small for user-detection and once the program starts doing anything the difference will be in the other direction.
Other things you talked about don't have anything to do with performance, so you haven't talked about use-cases in plural but only about the small amount of startup time difference.
"Write once, run anywhere" was like communism -- an idea that sounds nice in theory in some ways but utterly fails to work in reality.
True, if you hardcode C:\something or/somethingelse in your app. I've never had cross-platform problems, either on big server side applications or trivial desktop ones. So I guess 'utterly failes to work in reality' is somewhat dependent on the developer.
If you'd have bothered to read what you are replying to, you'd have seen that the poster specifically mentions having to work against Sharepoint and Exchange.
Not everything Google does is open source. And even if this would be open source, yes some people would use an alternative player but most would use what's handed to them by Google. Anyway, if it's streaming we're talking about, it could be browser-based, similar to youtube.
Google could make a music player that streams targeted ads along with music. The incentive for the user would be that it would be cheaper or even free with ads attached, but more expensive without it.
Knowing what I know about his future actions, I might. But my reason would be that one wrongdoing would undo a much bigger wrongdoing. Saddam was a prisoner when he was executed, so it isn't really comparable.
Killing is wrong. Even if it's Saddam's head on the chopping block. And a man who calls everyone that thinks this way a moron, says a lot about himself.
Yes it's a new source. The old one is water extracted from geothermally active areas, although the water is very hot because of the magma being nearby.
Yes, it's quite common e.g. in socalist scandinavian countries. For some reason, people in these countries enjoy more common wealth than the rest of the world.
A good, intuitive GUI can help a lot the first time. But after all the radiobutton-clicking, field entering, next, next and finsh, you want the configuration saved to a text file that can from then on be used for automatic installation for the next who knows how many times are needed.
On the contrary, it exactly explains why you would like Finding Nemo and not Beowulf. The drawings in the former are colorful, with big expressions and not like reality at all. In other words, not anywhere near the uncanny valley. Beowulf characters are firmly in that valley, making you not like them.

At my company, we use something similar called Direct Web Remoting for creating Javscript client code that communicates seamlessly with a Java server.

Both python and ruby can outperform it in at least some situations

9/11 was also reported on Slashdot. Were you unhappy about that too?
I must admit that you do have the right to not sense when others are not serious.
So you do have the right to debate the declaration?
I declare your worldview incorrect, and you have no esoteric right to debate that.

"you can't store electricity"
All the batteries in the world suddenly stopped working at the exact moment this information was revealed.
Google could make a music player that streams targeted ads along with music. The incentive for the user would be that it would be cheaper or even free with ads attached, but more expensive without it.
They are inserting a middle man in every single trade to leech the difference between buyer and seller.
Just like the tax man.
Except that the tax man in civilized countries gives back the money for your health care, education, law and order, roads and multiple other things.
1. Get rejected
2. Bitch about everyone else jumping blindly into a relationship
3. ???
4. Profit!

When all the oil goes away, its replacement will cost more, and the oil companies want to be the ones collecting that money.
Competition should hinder that a bit, though I must admit that my belief in the market is by far weaker now than a few years ago.

try maintaining code written by an architect
Isn't that some sort of racism? There are good architects, and there are bad architects.
