Main way to scale to that large of a sys­tem: “data­base cen­tric –> cache cen­tric –> mem­ory grid”

Inter­est­ing poll espe­cially when it came to health care.

Maybe it’s due to the some of the laws made in the past decade or the stu­pid way we have treated edu­ca­tion and immigration?

Krug­man makes his argu­ment to tem­porar­ily nation­al­ize the banks. He makes a good case, I’m not con­vinced though.

“The Euro­pean Com­mis­sion will require Microsoft to give users of its ubiq­ui­tous Win­dows oper­at­ing sys­tem the oppor­tu­nity to choose between dif­fer­ent Inter­net browsers to avoid breach­ing EU com­pe­ti­tion rules, the bloc’s antitrust spokesman told EurAc­tiv.” Not offi­cial but in every­thing but it’s going to happen.

Stu­pid politi­cians pro­poses stu­pid, the worst part of the whole thing it’s my senator.

I love it when peo­ple don’t just dis­tort infor­ma­tion but wind up using facts that actu­ally refute their point by say­ing it proves them.

I think you have to really eval­u­ate if this per­son has the chops to make decisions.

“While women use both sides of their brain, men only use the right half to judge if a piece of work is beau­ti­ful, a team of sci­en­tists dis­cov­ered.” I can see that.

I have a hard time believ­ing this survey.

“At the end of the day, the ques­tion isn’t whether a given smart­phone inter­op­er­ates with your friend’s phones, but whether it inter­op­er­ates with your cloud ser­vices.” 100% agree.

“US Fed­eral Reserve chief Ben Bernanke has warned Con­gress that with­out the right poli­cies from the gov­ern­ment, the US reces­sion could last into 2010.” And we haven’t already known this?

“It wasn’t so long ago when one of the GOP’s great­est ral­ly­ing cries — apart from keep­ing homo­sex­u­als away from wed­ding chapels — was the elim­i­na­tion of friv­o­lous law­suits. “Tort reform,” they called it, evok­ing images of ambulance-chasing, money-grubbing “trial lawyers” and greedy, spoiled Amer­i­cans eager to sue over so much as spilled cof­fee. But really, what could be less friv­o­lous than a lit­tle old-fashioned infight­ing? On Tues­day, Sen­a­tor Jim Bun­ning threat­ened to sue fel­low Repub­li­cans if they do not sup­port his bid for reelec­tion in 2010.” Yes I am amused.

Factcheck.org takes on the stim­u­lus bill and the myths pushed by the GOP.

“The offi­cials acknowl­edge that the strikes and raids by the Pak­istani mil­i­tary are prov­ing effec­tive, hav­ing killed as many as 80 Qaeda fight­ers in the past year. But they express grow­ing alarm that the drone strikes in par­tic­u­lar are hav­ing an increas­ingly desta­bi­liz­ing effect on their coun­try.” Makes sense.

Okay so this really makes me want the new Kin­dle even more. Birth­day gift anyone??

Hey what do you know some coun­tries don’t like their cit­i­zens to be tortured.

Pos­si­ble bet­ter replace­ment for SIFR.

It seems weird that Mur­doch would apol­o­gize after all I very much doubt he approved it or in any way had a hand in it.

“A British Catholic bishop embroiled in a row over Holo­caust denial has flown out of Argentina days after being told to leave the country.”

Is there a new web server on the loose or just a rebrand of Apache?

Not going to make it through the courts.

I think that is some­thing that a large part of pub­lic doesn’t seem to get to pay for more ser­vices or even as the num­ber of peo­ple cov­ered by ser­vices goes up due to pop­u­la­tion, taxes invari­ably rise. We can’t and won’t go back to a time where there is no social safety net in place.

Who pays when com­pa­nies dump waste into the pub­lic land/water?

What the Kin­dle really is.

I’ll sure miss out on that new Office that I won’t use.

What hap­pened with Ma.gnolia and how they didn’t do a proper backup system.

Dif­fer­ent selec­tor engines in MooTools.

Noth­ing to add.

That’s pos­i­tive news.

God what a stu­pid show.

This is one of the major rea­sons why I would never become a true lib­er­tar­ian, accep­tance of an irra­tional side is an impor­tant part of being human. “Wood­stock is ..a cel­e­bra­tion of car­nal emo­tion­al­ism, mys­ti­cism, and col­lec­tivism, its rev­el­ers typ­i­fied a cul­tural trend abhor­ring the indi­vid­ual and the mind”, which I think is in cer­tain amounts not a bad thing.

If you are going the route of cloud-computing remem­ber to have a backup.

App Engine finally lets you grow your app beyond the free quo­tas and start cre­at­ing a real business.

Do you have a Plan B in case the worst hap­pens? Per­son­ally, I have a halfway decent Plan B (sur­vive on tons of stu­dent loans).

“The pilot of a plane that ditched into the Hud­son River in New York has called on US air­lines to invest more in recruit­ing and train­ing pilots.” Is that really how we keep peo­ple safe with train­ing, I would have never thought that.

Almost a $300 mil­lion mis­sion failed, because the rocket never made it into orbit.

Looks like this could become a law, though whether the courts will allow it is another thing.

About time we applied ergonom­ics beyond just busi­ness and into the classroom.

Google is jump­ing into the fray just as Google is look­ing like it is likely becom­ing a monop­oly in and of itself.

Yes Gmail went down for a lit­tle while, late at night though morn­ing to early after­noon for Europe.

Pretty freak­ing cool.

Makes sense if nobody wants to hire than why have a recruiter.

For those of you who really want Safari.

Depress­ing to hear, but good to hear the ser­vice is get­ting tons of traffic.
