Dude, stop whinging. You don't even know what kind of weight that metric receives - actually none of us do. Given two pages with the same relevance (as far as the computer can tell) give me the faster one. Didn't work? no worries, I'll try the other next.
I'm assuming that Skype plans on making money off of this somehow, so how are they doing that?
When you buy SkypeOut credit you can call "normal" (land lines, cellular) phones from skype. It's dirt cheap to call the UK from Australia, for instance.
Needing a computer to make skype calls limits your use and so making skype more ubiquitous is obviously one of their strategies. Just look at all skype USB handsets on the market. Look at the inclusion of Skype on the Nokia N900 (which works over your mobile data plan btw, not only wifi).
I'd make a guess that this SDK will make its way to other mobile devices sooner rather than later. The easier it is to come across skype the more likely it is that some day you will use it to make SkypeOut calls or perhaps get SkypeIn numbers.
Postgre has no such level of support either. So when you missions critical DB goes south either you better be able to fix it or you had better have a lot of friends you can wake up in the middle of the night.
There are companies out there doing 24x7 support for Postgres. Fujitsu Australia is one of them
Expensive SSL certificates can continue to give the "feel good" level of indication by showing the name of the verified company.
Which is how the CA business started: the fee you pay for your certificate would cover the costs of verifying that you own the domain or are authorised to issue a certificate for it. It degraded to the level we have today, where any tool with a credit card can issue a certificate for 3rd party domains.
Then they came up with the EV (Extended Validation) certificates where you pay extra for them to do the background check that they were supposed to be doing in the first place! WTF!? What are we paying for with non-EV certificates then? (answer: the payola for getting major browsers to include your CA certificate)
After you're in the big league the certificate fee is probably mostly profit. I'd like to see they give it up.
We have been using slony 1.x for master/slave replication with pg 8.3 and it has worked well for us. It does have its problems, specially lock issues when modifying schema for busy tables. I see that 9.0 includes built-in replication and a work-around for these situations (i.e.: kill read-only queries that are in the way).
I wonder why this didn't make to their list of favourites. It is on the runner-ups though.
It reminds me of when some smart people tried to blow-up a beached whale to get rid of it and carcass went flying everywhere, smashing cars and all. I can't wait to see this black tsunami on TV.
There is no incentive to remove the equipment you put in orbit. Sending it up is costly enough - why bother removing? Perhaps we're now reaching the threshold where funding the clean-up makes sense.
R$ 5000 is about TWICE what a top software engineer is paid in a month.
Bullshit. I used to earn about R$4k/month (after taxes) back in 2003-2004 working as an IT infrastructure manager. I had software engineer peers on the same salary level. This was in Rio; you could probably make 30-50% more in Sao Paulo.
Is he trolling? Have you seen the size of a British plug? It takes a foot-long power board to plug maybe 3 of the suckers!
And for all of you excited with the built-in fuse: we don't need it. Our houses weren't wired in the middle of WWII when copper was scarce and dodgy installations were the rule.

This is a mostly USA site so it's pushing it to expect everyone here to know slang from the almost the other side of the world

Editors are sick of people not reading the summary so they're making the headline incomprehensible. Your move.

I have an impairment called "empathy". That video made me sad, because I could imagine the position that kid was in.
Sucks to be me, I guess.

I tried to feel bad for you, but I just ended up laughing.
Me too.
The main reason, in my mind, to upgrade is being able to effectively use 64-bit machines fully--and have more than 4GB of RAM.
WIndows XP comes in 64-bit versions

Can't Google change Orkut so it doesn't allow anonymous posts from the Brazilian IP address space?
If google were to kick Brazilians off Orkut I'm not sure there'd be much left of it.
Do you find yourself fixing many pants in your line of work?
From the website:
m0n0wall is probably the first UNIX system that has its boot-time configuration done with PHP
Remind me how this was mistaken for an advantage.
But it's in Flash. And I didn't have the patience to wait for the clouds and animation to finish.

Who is this supposed to be targeting? You have to be a class A moron to build a data centre website using flash on the landing page.

That's sad in so many levels. Actually no: it's sad in a single, very deep, level.

This is not news. It's stating the obvious.
You seem to want First Class elbow room at steerage prices.
No, fatso. I want to fly without your flab invading my seat - thank you very much.
As for the health concerns, well I smoke anyways, but I do it outside. I'd still wear gloves, just like I almost always did.
Do you also re-apply your lipstick after a cig?

They don't do investigations of car crashes the way they do for other serious engineering failures, like plane crashes or bridge collapses.
They do; after they apply the formula and X is more than the cost of fixing the problem.
Just add a paper trail to the electronic system.
Once the results are disclosed the sore losers can count the vote themselves (just don't leave them alone in the room with the print-outs)
Coating the inside of your heat transfer pipes with a thermal insulator is like masturbating with sandpaper - it might work, but it doesn't work well.
