  1. Re:Not surprising on Survey Says C Dominated New '08 Open-Source Projects · · Score: 1

    I don't know if your analysis is fair.

    It seems they classified by what the project was written in and not what the target platform (VM) was. They stated the Java language came it at number 2, not the Java VM.

    While other languages may run on the JVM, I don't think they counted. JRuby would probably count as Ruby, not Java.

    The results are for number of projects using a language. So if a project uses JavaScript and PHP it would count for JavaScript and PHP.

    Solar energy would be good but that's not the only clean energy solution.

    You ever stood behind a rack of servers? Those things put out a lot of heat. If we can tap geothermal energy from deep underground, we should be able to grab it from a server room and convert it to energy.

    Using that heat energy for electricity will also reduce the amount of cooling power needed.

    I plan to finalize that solution after I put the finishing touches on my perpetual motion machine.

    This is why I never go on the internet. It's just not safe.

    Actually, Obama was one of the inventors of that site.

    Same can be said for leaving files unattended while the receptionist goes to flirt with the new doctor.

    We can't let that be a reason to use technology to help people be healthier.

    Nice the dems are back in charge. Continuing on Gore's invention of the internet, Obama invented http://www.usaspending.gov/

    Yes makes sense to release a movie first in these countries where 10 cents buys a lot of votes. :) Expect all new releases come out first in the paid to click friendly nations.

    definition of monetize

    The term dates back to 1879 the usage has just been adapted but the underlying theme is the same. To convert into money.

    Now go back to your support line.

    "Monetized"??? Monetization? Monetizing? To monetize? Monetizability?

    I presume that what you're saying is that Google isn't making a huge profit on those experiments.

    Yes, that's what I meant. In the future I'll try to refrain from terms that have only become popular in the past decade so as to not confuse you. Sound swell?

    I was recently looking over Google's AdSense revenues and noticed that they were quite low.

    While their own site's earnings have been growing, the earnings of their AdSense publishers has leveled off.

    The cut they take from AdSense revenues has also gotten smaller and smaller. I was wondering if Google might abandon AdSense all together because of it.

    What's probably keeping AdSense alive is the $500 million they keep in the bank because of their net 60 payment terms and because people don't get paid until they reach $100.

    Half a billion dollar hit wouldn't look nice.

    Seems like they're working on improving the results in that area, but these other services just couldn't be monetized properly.

    It's nice though. If Google were to give every service online away for free, it would leave little room for other developers to grab a piece off the (shrinking?) pie.

    For those that still use it/need it might have to support it it's good. It's also an important part of internet history.
