Features laughable compared to Evernote? I used to use a text file. Before that a piece of paper. What kind of useful features does it have? Can I search Evernote from gmail? Can I access it from Google Drive? Maybe once they implement these essential features I will look at it.
Top marks sir, but you forgot that the first inhabitants will be Julian Assange and Kim Dotcom, on the run from the law. They will operate a pirate bay server up there, away from worldly copyright and patent trolls. Like Sealand, it will be immune to censorship.
Wait, 77,000 / 9000 = 8 people per dollar spent? 9000 and only launched last Friday? How much does Azure cost to operate? Throw together a cheap php site or something for $20 a month.
Or they may not re-compress their home page image every time they send it out. The system we use to scale images only scales and optimizes them once, then stores the scaled copies for repeated use. It takes up more space, but is much faster than re-scaling every time or sending the full image.
I'm guessing whatever google uses does this even better. (and will soon use this new compression technique)
I am kind of curious. They cover there fantasy and dark fantasy bases with Warcraft and Diablo, they cover their distant future with Starcraft.
What does that leave that's significantly different?
A contemporary hyper-realistic fps war game? Where you can trade real world money to drop tanks and get airstrikes?
An mmo where you play as a minimum wage worker at a large box store? You can have to make up the difference in your rent with micro-transactions?
A pirate simulator? Where you need to use micro-transactions to buy fruit so you don't get scurvy?
I understand the concept of big data, I used to do Hadoop back in 2010. But my point is that their example code just it seems to implement spatial hashing in a distributed database, which has been around for a while. I think the summary missed what makes these guy's approach better.
It seems pretty obvious that you should use some type of indexing in the database to select items rather than do some cool O(n^2) operations when you have billions of items.
We can make a new language that can do processing in the database. That way we don't need to get all the rows we want to do operations on. It will look like this:
"Select sum(`widgit_count`) from warehouses where state = 4 "
I know where we can find water on Mars! We need to calculate that impact point once we get some more observations. We have until 2014 to drive our rovers to that point.
Upload speed shouldnt be your only benchmark. If I upload a 10GB file to my raspberry pi server in the other room, its way quicker than either of these.
Clearly raspberry pis overtake Azure and Amazon's cloud.
I sincerely doubt that. I bet many collage graduates back then didn't even know how to write a blog post, let alone post videos of them doing keg stands on Vine.
Do it with MySQL and a programming language of your choice and output to spreadsheet. Put your code in version control (git). Profit.
Or if you really need to be using Excel, try something like this: http://groovy.codehaus.org/COM+Scripting
Totally agree. This kind of behavior does not benefit a large country with a lot of technology and military presence. The small countries who would not dare launch a physical invasion now have an opportunity to strike back on a smaller scale with less repercussions.
Do you think that you are the only country those hackers are selling those exploits to? If those are not patched, your own infrastructure will be in danger.
That's fine for something like #pear or #iphone4 but what about if you have something more complicated? Some of my purchases would be hard to put into a hashtag:
A better model might be able to add a bar on the left, that like WOOT only has a few items each day, and you need to tweet the hashtag it to get the deal.
"We're talking about exchanging packets of information, zeroes and ones, if you will, one hundred millions times a second," he said. "So some notion that this is a horrible invasion of content reading is wrong. It is not even close to that."
As long as we are just exchanging those zeros and ones, and no one accidentally reads one.
Sometimes the only way to win the game is not to play. It seems like Kaspersky has learned that the only way to secure Windows XP is to disable the internet connection. Now if they disable the USB ports next, I think we will have a good security model going. Unfortunately that update will be harder to push.
They are completely different languages. Also as far as i know it would be a total pain to run an applet on an Android device. You would need to run a virtual machine inside android, install another operating system inside that virtual machine, and install oracle's java plugin for the browser inside that.
So, do we at least get to use jQuery to select UI elements? it would be cool to do a
$(".buttons").each{//do something}
Libraries like that are as essential as collections are for Java.

I looked at that, and I don't think we are quite there yet. We do have smart cars, but not that kind.
I think the real problem with the java build is people like to use older technology. It can be as easy as:
... there is no step 2..
... take that configure;make;./a.out
1) $> gradle run
2) $>
3) $>

This seems like the guy is just copying McDonald's policy.
E-monocles, e-goggles, and e-stopwatches. Its becoming very e-steam-punk up in here.

How does that compare to something like spark?

They don't care about property crimes, but if you can get them a 'hacker' they will send him to gitmo for just downloading some JSTOR articles.

The quantity drop down only goes to 30. We are going to need a few more if we are going to secure our infrastructure in a timely manner.
