  1. Migrating away from Netbeans on Ruby Dropped In Netbeans 7 · · Score: 0

    Having started with a Netbeans EAR project, I never seemed to be quite smart enough to get it working in Eclipse. As of a couple of days ago I've started converting my Netbeans/Ant projects over to Maven so i can open them up in Netbeans, Eclipse, Vi, etc. While I still prefer Netbeans over Eclipse I'm sure soon will come the time when Oracle will destroy the product and I'll make the switch.

  2. Re:Alexa? on Nmap Developers Release a Picture of the Web · · Score: 0

    I agree....Alexa only has access to a Tinny sample of users who install their toolbar. My site made the top million list!! After all this time of struggling with a start-up....I finally made it to a 1x1 pixel icon on a poster. Success!

  3. Re:The wrong market on Unboxing the Fake Intel Core i7-920 · · Score: 0

    I would guess that most non-slashdotters have no idea what a CPU is even supposed to look like. My first job was working for Circuit City, in a department called Answer City. I sat in a cubicle and took calls all day from people who bought a computer and had issues with it. Probably 5% of the calls were people who didn't know to plug the power into the wall, or connect the monitor to the PC. Only once did I actually get the "I broke my cup holder" call.

    What, no benchmarks?

  6. Re:Spammers delight! on Google Indexing In Near-Realtime · · Score: 0

    I don't understand how this would be exploited by spammers. This just seems like a way of getting indexed far more quickly (they already do this for a lot of blogs, and hot news topics), I can't see google upping your authority/ranking because you update content a lot.

  7. Crawling, or Indexing? on Google Indexing In Near-Realtime · · Score: 0

    Right now Google seems to spend a couple of minutes a day crawling my website, but even once it knows what has changed it only updates it's index, and the SERPs once a month or so. I realize larger sites get indexed far more quickly, and often, but this seems like it is only augmenting the crawling of websites with a client site push. I'm unsure how this all relates to the long lag in indexing that data. Any ideas?

  8. "century-class solar minimum" on Mystery of the Missing Sunspots, Solved? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yet I still global warming deniers claim the earth is only warming due to the 11 year solar cycle. How long can they believe that?

  9. page views on You're (Probably) Not Going To Be a Pro Blogger · · Score: 1

    With millions of (mostly inactive) bloggs floating around, I don't know how people expect to stand out writing stories their dog eating a remote. Especially with CPM (cost per 1000 impressions in ad speak) in the pennies. I'm building a website about a far more popular subject and see no way to use advertising as a viable revenue source. I don't think the advertising model is dead, but will only make real money for the Googles of the world.
