I might say if you also count the workers employed for the maintenance, scaling and general upkeep of your own "cluster" it would make the price on par with what Amazon is offering.
Agreed though that the better SLA may be some time coming. We will see how it plays out.
Page refreshes: 1) cause more data to be transmitted which is slower 2) cause more cpu cycles by re-rendering the whole page on your client 3) all of this probably uses more electricity 4) wastes time 5) kills baby seals 6) causes markets to crash 7) makes you lose bids on ebay
He was no fool. If there was a serious problem he may have thrown items out. Could have even been a bread crumb trail. We will know more when the area is searched.

Come on. I would encourage people to take the effort to learn as much as possible, but sometimes track records can be used for a non expert to make a judgement.
Many people who understand very little about OS kernels still trust OS X over Windows.
It's like you are a terrorist trying to bring sense to all this economic fear mongering. You better stop it. People need to be scared shitless all the time.
Now go buy some duct tape..
btw: I think China's, Europe's and the US economy are all doing fine and hell... any country that produces anything useful is probably doing well.

"So blacks, women, and people under the age of 40 just aren't working hard enough? "
Yes. Blacks and women aren't working hard enough. What's the best job a black person ever got?
You are lucky. I had to settle for clownpenis.fart

It really is just another way of hosting right?
I think S3 seems to work well for some people also.

XMLHttpRequest is now a standard since everyone decided to "ignore standards" and use it anyway.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLHttpRequest
"The World Wide Web Consortium published a Working Draft specification for the XMLHttpRequest object's API on 15 April 2008."
./ is mostly text, but how did you post this comment? Any Page refreshes?
Actually it uses some pretty sweet AJAX calls.
Progress usually comes from ignoring standards.
That is my theory anyway.
Sorry for double reply.

Ya see? Is that really so hard to type?
I bet they can't fucking wait for you to tell them too.

You may have some other troubles getting in the way of your consistent codebase.
Well since I develop on and use only FF3 I call upon those statistics to make FF3 render those 20,000 rows faster and ease my suffering!
I am forced into quirks mode. Maybe those stats are from HTML compliant tests.
I usually open IE only to test compatibility.
I have a table made of divs with 3 colummns and 20,000 rows that is rendered considerably faster in IE7 than FF3.0.1.
All FF3 addons are disabled.
In fact I only started up IE7 to see how fast it would be.
FF3 = 260mb memory
IE7 = 198mb memory
Funny huh?

Maybe the somebody needs to clear the logs.
Or flush the streams...

Sorry to reply to my own post. I just opened Digg in a new tab.
If you want to be terrorized and firghtened all the time just go read Digg. They think the world is coming to an end.
