Considering what you said is obviously wrong I will conclude that we don't know if a statistic is bullshit or not. We can now go about believing what ever statistic we feel like is good enough to make our point.
Yeah sure I agree a safe search isn't a bad idea. Google does it and most don't realize or care but it's plainly displayed when you do a search that it's on or off.
If they removed said books and refused to sell them then it would be worse.
And I would be as annoyed if any books were removed even religious ones but should a safe search include some of the more extreme religious books with more extreme views? It's a slippery slope.
Whatever google does is going to end up being bad, including doing nothing. The online user submitted content arena is a total hell hole. I would not touch that stuff with a 10Gbit/s foot tube.
Except they want to increase their profits and making google pay is an easy way to do it. If they complain they might get something more. I don't think has really anything to do with reality as much as with them trying to negotiate a deal.
I'm sorry but that is not true. Google does not copy entire articles to google news but gives users a few lines from the article. If you have such a bad case of ADD that you don't read any full length article, you wouldn't even spend two seconds on the newspapers site anyway.
I don't think Ruby will be able to accommodate their claimed need for a strongly typed language. And they did not really explain the technical details of the problem in depth. And they seem to be saying that their old code required a lot of type checking using kind_of? which is a less then ideal way to do anything. But is it because the code is bad (Alex from Twitter acknoledge the code has issues.)? or Dynamic languages are wrong for what they want to do.
Alot of the gain they might make will probably be due to the fact that they are rebuilding from scratch parts of twitter which often lets you redesign for the better. I think they would have had the same benefit rewriting in ruby.

Not anymore. Go install 1.9 and start using it TODAY.
The ruby community needs to leave 1.8.* to die as quickly as possible.

Except most languages have more than one interpreter/compiler whit varying performance in varying environments.
Jython/IronPython/Python all perform a little different.
Ruby 1.9 and MacRuby don't perform the same.
Or just jruby which has proven itself to be quite able to handle under load. From what I understand they had issues with their Message Queue which could have benefited from the native threads in jruby. But we are all speculating on what really is going on with Twitter.
And what does scala have over say erlang for concurrency and performance?
A million bloggers don't make up for one real investigative reporter who has the time to do the legwork because they're paid to do it.
Unfortunately this is the wrong forum to say that you get a better quality product if people have the time to really work on it because they get paid. Just follow the discussions about Stallman and the GNU Licenses. Readers here don't care if people used to get paid for doing investigative journalism, or even if they are currently getting paid for it. Richard Stallman is King here. Journalists and newspapers should give away their work for free. Heck, if you don't give away your source of income after spending time and doing the legwork to create it, be it a computer program or a news article, they aren't interested.

Huh? The GPL says nothing about preventing money making. RedHat is having an easy time beating expectations every quarter. 100% of their code is opensource and mostly GPL.
You have no idea about what you speak off. If they don't want the stuff to be aggregated they can very well put a Login prompt in front of it and give everyone an API for access. But they don't want that because it would prevent a service like google from indexing those sites and bringing more traffic. They have the choice but aren't liking the alternative so they are trying to get money out of services that are bringing them the traffic they want.
I'm not feeling very sorry for them, if they don't like what google news is doing then they don't have to participate. Google news only offers a summary with a link not a whole article which entirely depends on a news site to be open and have the text available. Why should google index them and pay a fee? They are the ones offering a service not the other way around.
The New York times does this very well, I pay for delivery, and when the articles are online later in the day, who the hell cares since it's old news. Oh and ads are still creating an impression through aggregation services. I still have to go to the original page to see the full text.
Rhodes is a ruby framework that lets you write apps that run on all the major mobile platforms. While you won't be able to make a Quake port with it. For the many apps it's very suitable.
In this realm it's all about how much you want to spend. It's really cool when one of the EMC SAN calls a tech in the middle the night and they are at my door the next day with an brand new hard drive but HAVE YOU SEEN HOW MUCH THAT COSTS?
Don't worry, many French Canadians think this protectionist stuff goes to far. While I can agree with multilingual signs and companies having multilingual staff. Video games and movies should be allowed to sell separate version in different language. Book do not have this restriction that I'm aware of.
Except why would they need to get ALL the servers from this data center. And why were the owners of those servers not notified also that a warrant was out for their property?
Core did not own all this stuff according to the news I've seen.
They probably think that 911 is hosted on some nice little server inside some hospital somewhere.
Why would these servers run something critical? Oh I dunno, it's not the gov stuff so it can't be important.
Yes, I'd call the EFF right now if I was him. They are looking to blame someone and it might fall on him. Is the MPAA looking to make a scapegoat to scare all the Datacenters around?

Oracle has no allegiance but to itself.
Whatever google does is going to end up being bad, including doing nothing. The online user submitted content arena is a total hell hole. I would not touch that stuff with a 10Gbit/s foot tube.
MySQL is forking, I don't think it's going to be an issue if it did happen. Oracle does own BerkleyDB and it's still opensource.
Why is this news in red on the frontpage? And, I understand what they are saying BUT shouldn't they be asking vista users to upgrade from it?
No no no, the French government does not obey by it's own rules. They get unlimited attempts.

God forbid a company from making money. They must not be allowed to sell ANYTHING!.

That's not what the sites they are going after are doing.

What about data. Lets be honest, not everyone has good backups.

In this case, they should pool up and hire a legal team as large as the team needed to raid their datacenter. 1 for 1, Lawyer to Agent rumble.
