I thought that this blog post was a pretty good sounding critique of the article in question. (Of course, I don't know a damn thing about DB, relational or otherwise. . )
I can't even find this claim on the internet, let alone evidence for or against it. There is mention that speedometers are often slightly off (here, for instance), but no claim that they're biased too low.
now if only they'd get up to speed on the things that Webkit is doing!
Firefox already has SVG, XPATH, almost all the "XML Technologies" (it's missing incremental rendering), and web developer tools. And it certainly has improved all it's speed benchmarks from FF2.
Before writing a huge rant, try to actually read the post you're responding to, maybe? They were comparing the sound of an vorbis file to the sound of a CD. They never claimed to have done a listening comparison between FLAC and a CD, unlike the imaginary post you seem to be so outraged by.:)
One point of clarification: By default, they don't store your key. The point is that because they could store your key, the feds can demand that they do so next time you use the webmail version.
I've known people who play both who would disagree. That is, clearly the instruments have all the same types of components, but the desirable properties of a fiddle and a violin are different. An instrument which is a good violin isn't a good fiddle.
Wow, I'm glad there's such agreement between those who read the article and left comments, and those who just tagged it.:)

So what ends up happening is that all students pay the same, but some departments are much better funded than others. Strangely, the funding a department gets seems to be pretty well correlated with the earning potential of it's graduates in any case.
Right, the electoral college ensures that how much your vote counts depends on which state you're living in. If that's the purpose, you could do it explicitly by assigning a direct weight to each vote, and then count the votes at a national level.
Regardless of the existence/nonexistence of said bias, the post clearly is flamebait. It doesn't really make any arguments worth debating, it just makes some inflammatory claims about liberals.

I think he was talking about the USA w/ that particular remark.
Wait, how does carrying a show for seven years constitue "killing it off quick?"

That was so last year, though. I mean, what's he won lately?

On another mozblog, I read that they were doing a start-up venture together. So not a coincidence, but not headhunting either.
I looked at the comparison table, but couldn't figure out whether "Good" or "Robust" was a higher score...
Here is a pointless example of XSLT+XML. I feel like something didn't work right in Safari, though...

Hate to break it to you, but the term "producer" means something different in the music and TV industries.
But utorrent has always been closed source.

I don't know; my password to log into the physics department network is mandated to be way harder than that. (No sequential letters, for instance.)
You can copyright choreography. That's really similar to the IP involved here, isn't it?
I know tons of people with 2 year cingular/AT&T contracts... I doubt that this is that much of a deal-breaker for most.
That's been bugging me too. Enough with the trite write-ups!

Mirrormask was more Dave McKeans child than Gaiman's. (They collaborated on the script, and McKean did all the visuals.)
But statistics also means the raw data; I think the OP was saying that this is better answered through experiment than theory.
