You make a choice that defines you as a man. The dark side or the light side.
You will pick the dark side, tell others to pick the dark side, and be a man not to be respected by your family and environment.
Well done..not!
This already happens. With Ajax reporting back mouse movements, clicks and keypresses, the site admin can snoop on the visitors and see exactly what they are doing.
The question is, if our tank is 95% empty, would the speed increase because the black holes become greedy, or decrease because what's in between is too far away?
Folders/files and databases are both just data repositories. You can read and write data to it using an identifier. The average user does not care about either files or databases, he just cares about naming and finding entities he's working with. Whether the underlying OS uses a filesystem or a database, he will select Save in his word processor and type "My monthly report 5", and later restore it by that label. One could even make identical interfaces.
Mod parent up. High traffic sites are not interpreted on the fly over and over again. I would be very surprised if the cost of building and maintaining a high traffic php site with the proper optimizations would cost more than doing the same thing with c++ programmers. How many more man hours, the cost of a man hour, the cost of a server, etc.
Thank you for your opinion, I may or may not agree with it, but hopefully the idiot who modded every post in this subthread he did not agree with as "troll" (what a sad person) is overruled.
I'm critical of google, and I think I'm justified in being critical, but everytime I post something critical in one of these articles, it is modded down as troll while the fan boys continue their parade. But they never intellectually challenge my arguments. Or shall I say, the google employees?? In the meantime, all the lobbyists are just making it worse, and I think they will destroy google in the end, just as no one likes to be affiliated with MS except for the cash.
Why, Google, thank you for your straight faced propaganda serving no one but yourselves, once again.
What Google is really saying is that the cost of blocked ads is less than the cost of less browser market share because of snubbing Firefox users who want their ad blocking plugins. It would be hard to put a figure on that, but it is all about taking away the things that prevent a bigger market share, not only by getting the users actually using ad block software, but the whole mind share of Firefox and users and that it is the only cool thing. And that mind share thought Chrome was crippled. The cost of not getting enough marketshare might be huge considering their plans with Chrome OS and all.
A decade ago Google also was willing to pay to get more market share, by paying for clicks to their site. Once they had enough market share, they stopped doing that.
That would not work. You owe to much, for example to the Chinese. The only reason they allow that, is because you keep buying. If you stop buying, they'll want you to pay your debt. You don't want to go there. Also, the worldwide economic crisis was caused by foreign banks buying American crap, otherwise it would have just been an American problem of overconsumption. Financial packages of bad mortgages. So a solution is not for Americans to buy less foreign crap, but for foreigners to buy less American crap.
Wikipedia should fire all its editors and start over. Otherwise the bad editors who are causing all the troubles, will destroy it. In case any good editors might complain, explain how saying you are a Wikipedia editor, at a party, is equal to saying you have some sort of contagious disease, and this is not something to strive for and is caused by the deletionists. Now wikipedia is just a collection of the saddest people, and no one wants to be affiliated with that. The only good thing is that they are collected in a single point of potential damage, and can also be named and shamed.
The fact that you have little sympathy for the EU here, without any stated reasons - it is coming from the guts, is exactly why Larry managed to use this nonsense to hide their own evil reasons for the layoffs, by using people who bend forwards and follow up on the nonsense. Stop being Larry's instrument. You look clearly wrong here. And hey, I provided actual argumentation, unlike you.
The number of Americans living in poverty is also still greater than the entire population of Scandinavia. If I continue to mirror your point it gets funny.
The reasons the author of the article is giving to avoid cloud computing. It isn't you can buy a 1TB drive cheaply, like everyone seems to be discussing.
That cloud computing is like AJAX - a good way to bash new stuff without thinking too much and putting it down as a hype, giving one thousand reasons what it does and why it is wrong, and not mentioning its true function once. May I NOT jump on your bandwagon? I don't even use cloud computing because I don't need much computer power, but of course its true purpose is abstracted scalability. A very simple example relating to storage: yes you can back up on a 1TB drive, but what if your data starts to exceed 1TB? You must get a new backup drive, do administration, test the backup tools, etc. etc. In other words, it costs hardware and man hours of high skilled people. Why do you want those if you are not in hardware or server administration? Cloud computing, whether it's done good or bad, is a real service which really distinguishes itself.
the first thing we look at is the cover letter rather than their actual CV content. Once in an interview, sure, discussions about past experience and the like are valued, but just as valuable is the ability to communicate and to mesh into the current staff we have.
Typical HR error (yeah you're "not in HR")... you don't hire the best potential, you hire the best cover writer and most likable to HR person kind of person. This is why you people should never hire real talent. You wouldn't be able to identify it. Just like the University, it is not about the essay, it is about the potential to bullshit and work towards the greatest common denominator. In essence it is about the ability to corrupt oneself for the organization you're applying to. If you want excellent people, it is exactly not the way to get them. They are not your bitch. This will get you average people.
Stargate always had problems thinking imaginatively.
No shit, Sherlock. Stargate was a cheesy pulp sf movie. Fun, but all of the previously mentioned. As a b-film it was more successful than anticipated. Which is the only reason for the existence of the series: to milk to cow. Not because a writer had a story to tell. Hey, like the last 4 seasons of BG. I'd like sf fans to be more critical of the stuff they get being served today. It is all really bad, and it ain't gonna get better if the bad is endorsed by sf fans because they love and protect everything with sf tacked to it unconditionally.

So what do you do?
You make a choice that defines you as a man. The dark side or the light side. You will pick the dark side, tell others to pick the dark side, and be a man not to be respected by your family and environment. Well done..not!
I'm sure they had no other options. Shit happens.

Think of it like apple's feature creep
I thought he was referring to you, you should be proud.

In any case, it means Sarah Palin knows a lot about Titans and how to deal with them.

I'm just saying..
It is all irrelevant because of the China Axion:
Every unit of energy saved, for example a barrel of oil, will be obtained (for a now lower price) and burned by the Chinese.
Humanity will obtain all fossil energy from the ground and burn it. Question is how long it will take us.
Richard, is it you??
Words. You will only post angry words on a forum of no consequence, and you will move along. This is because you are a coward and will not rise up.
The only one bluffing is you, because your proposal is a fantasy. Just pay your debts, please.
That would not work. You owe to much, for example to the Chinese. The only reason they allow that, is because you keep buying. If you stop buying, they'll want you to pay your debt.

If you really need Google Wave professionally, you really need to simplify your communications.
