only ignorant fools are yet to wake up and realize that this is all part of a carefully organized plot
i don't claim to know the entirety of such plot or how and when it will play out, but i wouldn't be surprised if collapse of the united states dollar and economy is part of it, possibly to give rise to a global currency based on special drawing rights from the international monetary fund... then those who control the federal reserve will have unlimited global power and wealth. dunno how the whole world war 3 conspiracy fits in though... if the whole world is irradiated and 90% of the population dies off, for those in power it would probably be like having a chess board with no pieces left; surely they need slaves and resources to manipulate, even if for no particular reason other than to keep them fat and entertained.
watch what obama does carefully... there is no doubt that he will implement new executive orders to "protect americans" from future "domestic terrorists" (read the united states government will forcefully confiscate any "unauthorized" resource, be it information, materials, chemicals, guns, ammunition, etc).
the "i'm self centered and dead" option would be to require cramming all google servers into your coffin with you for burial so that you'll have ready access to plenty of porn in the afterlife
i wouldn't be surprised if you were arrested for blowing your own brains out in america... then they lock you up, force feed you gruel and water-board you till you give away the secrets of your suicidal terrorist cult
i would argue that individuals create great code, not great software, and that great leaders build great teams
Teams are ok for factory goods I guess if you want to work on a assembly line
assembly line workers aren't really what i would call "teams"... many don't even talk to each other while they work... maybe i would call them "gangs", as in definition 4 of http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gang
the OP is only insulting to morons like yourself who are apparently unable to make any kind of valuable contribution
every grand idea starts small... rarely if ever is an entrepreneur able to secure external investment (loans, vc, grants, angel investment, partnership, acquisition, etc) based solely on an idea without any kind of working prototype or demo, and also without a sound business plan and demonstrated personal commitment of time and capital (those days ended in 2000 with the dot-com collapse).
also, many professionals are happy to share a small amount of their expertise for free occasionally even if only to give their ego a little boost. consultants also usually offer a little bit of free advice to help entice potential clients or build rapport and reputation (every consultant knows that word-of-mouth is the best marketing tool)... for example many solicitors provide a no obligation 30 minute initial consultation (which i have taken advantage of myself) and many are quite happy to offer advice in those free sessions even if they are doubtful of further consultation for the particular case.
i've posted my thoughts previously on this topic, and there are many other good contributions in this thread (particularly about database back end selection) and i wish the OP well in his (or her) endeavor.
there will always be naysayers towards any enterprise... only those that rise to the challenge and prove naysayers wrong will succeed.
the only tiny little problem with azure is that it is windows based... apparently there are linux guests available, but if there were also linux hosts available it would be much more popular:-D
sorry Microsoft, but it doesn't matter how great you make azure... the "windows" brand is doing more harm than good in data center virtualization
maybe if they just called it "Microsoft Azure" they might lose the negative connotation of windows, but even without a huge amount of mass-marketing linux has forged an unstoppable presence in the data center; it's pretty much a given that as a corporation reaches a certain size that linux will play an increasing role in server infrastructure due to benefits in security, reliability, scalability and TCO (the only historical competition in this regard has been from aix, z/os and solaris). regardless of how new Microsoft product releases actually compare to Linux, they will have to contend with this linux data center stereotype (particularly difficult for any product that brandishes the "windows" stigma)
what's wrong with mems? i've used mems gyros in certification flight testing of aircraft (mgl avionics sp-4 ahrs). they work pretty well in my experience

haha yeah gotta love that movie

used as an excuse to take away more rights
i think this is given

it would be headline news for nerds if a terrorist blew up a computer
what about when there aren't any girls?
i clicked the link and then clicked random and got this one... http://xkcd.com/26/
is it wrong that i thought it was one of the funniest things i think i've ever seen on the internets?
there should be a +6 funny for this one :-D

slashdot isn't voluntary... i'm literally unable to stop posting bullshit comments... i just can't do it captain... i just don't have the power
even products need friends... don't be discriminating against products... that's product-ist... mark my words there will be laws against that soon
i wouldn't be surprised if you were arrested for blowing your own brains out in america... then they lock you up, force feed you gruel and water-board you till you give away the secrets of your suicidal terrorist cult
the difference will be that apple makes a shitload more money than all the others combined
in the words of james hetfield... nothing else matters
shhh... isheep haven't yet caught onto this concept
maybe it's just for elevator music in their new spaceship office?
i'm sure if you blew bernanke to his satisfaction you would be set for life (no servers or scaling required)
if you have ever worked in a team environment the proof is obvious
you have apparently not had the pleasure of such an experience
good teams usually depend on a strong and competent leader (as opposed to a boss, who may not be a good leader)
if you want a specific citation, may i suggest http://www.google.com.au/#output=search&q=teamwork

no harm in asking i guess :-)

they need a fart detector that can indicate the responsible party
