Although I believe that Europe is currently developing a Europe-wide high-speed rail system, Japan has had one for years.
Must be either underground or cloaked. It's no surprise the Japanese economy is in such trouble when they're wasting money building secret underground high-speed rail systems to make life easy for a few Japanese tourists.

Might be entirely unfair, but it appears part of their "recipe" was getting multiple posts on Slashdot to expose as many geeks as possible to their "me-too" business.
I'm one of those 3000 users of apache 7. modperl has a built in temporal displacement, and the whole thing runs smoothly in only 256GB of SRAM.
Still no decent admin GUI though...

AFAIK, there's no VC money behind Fog Creek. They do consulting work to allow them to develop shrink-wrap applications. Also, it's not a new company - they've just moved offices.
They've been profitable (see last para) for some time, so the answer is that they can probably quite easily afford it as a natural part of the business growth.
as a guardian reading, brass-eye watching, technically literate male I agree, but you're misguided if you think the rest of the UK entirely shares your cynicism.
it's worth pausing to remember that most people are not like you, and there is a great deal of concern among many parents. i'm not saying they're right, but you can't dismiss it as purely tabloid scare mongering.
Interesting that only 2 comments are modded up to 5 out of 1340 comments in this article - this is much worse than the usual distribution of scores.
Is it because these group moderation systems are not suited to this kind of discussion? For instance, if I suggest a movie which is *really* unappreciated, nobody is going to mod up my post, as nobody else will have heard of it.
I know this is offtopic, but something's a bit wrong when out of 1340 posts the only serious suggestion to get top mod points is "Adventures of Buckeroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension".
Just to contribute something on-topic - I reckon Dark City deserves a mention.

They've developed some real crap in the past, but at least they're honest about the origins of this one.
