  1. they published it ... on The Design Of The Google File System · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ... which may not have happened from just any company of google's prominence. I mean, they have highly successful business and technical infrastructure models and they didn't HAVE to share it with anyone.

    I wonder what they believe will protect their business from poaching of these ideas?

    which is probably her parent/guardian.

    it's disingenuous to state that this would not affect her significantly. if they're living in subsidized housing, I suspect that the smallest settlement mentioned ($3000) is likely to be a hardship for the entire family, including the girl.

  3. got a chisel? on Mystery Tiles From Around the World · · Score: 1

    They are made of "epoxy or super hard plastic that's actually inlaid in the asphalt itself."

    Either that or they are painted on with the paint that is used for roads (to make dividing lines).

    has anyone tried digging one out and seeing what it's really made of? I mean, it's fun to speculate, but that's what the stock market's for, right?

    judging from the number and content of comments posted here so far, I'm guessing that your website has been experiencing a fair amount of traffic. yet response time from page requests is still fairly good.

    how would apply the process by which you avoid slow response times to your approach to decisions encountered while administering the state of CA? what problems do you forsee in that application of process?

    hey, uh, I hope this isn't too far off-topic, but what's gonna happen when SCO discloses the offending lines of code and comments (hopefully involuntarily)? are kernel.org's servers gonna get slammed by 6.023*10^23 geeks trying to scour the archives for the introduction point(s) of the co[de|mments]?

    maybe I'd better start downloading those tarballs now....
