His $1,362 per month spend (not including hardware, which it sounds like he gets for free) seems a bit spendy for just a hobby "lab". Since when was a rack of computers called a lab? Does a few servers in the closet count? I want to know if

Those photographic comparisons are pretty subjective and zoom in on muddy/blurred areas of the image for comparison - it would have been nice to see the entire photos. The non-photographic images clearly give JPEG2000 an edge, but he then c

There was a Firefox extension that supported JPEG 2000, it worked great on the few photography-related websites that used the format. It seems patents killed off the format for widespread acceptance. Maybe we'll actually get to use it in 20

I don't really expect it to happen either; sounds more like a power play to get the US to finally cough up some restitution for the claimed billions in losses that Antiguan economy has suffered. If it does play out though, things will get

ur tl;dr summary: The WTO granted Antigua the right to suspend US copyright to the tune of $21 million annually in 2007 because the US ignored the WTO's earlier (2005) ruling that the US violated international free-trade laws by barring Ant

Yes, there is no way he is making the decision himself, or even capable of doing so. That's exactly my point. Yet somehow he's in charge of the whole show? In any case, TFA does give him sole credit for the edict. More to the point, why exa

Some good resources there. Don't forget to mention PgAdmin III has a built-in graphical explain analyze, which is absolutely amazing yet rarely talked about. http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/27-Reading-Pg...

Slony has been around since at least 2004. It was included in the Postgres source code repository. I always considered that to be a pretty official solution.

Yes, and bringing on a non-technical cofounder who can do marketing for you. What's better, 50% interest with a big market share or 100% of none? How are you ever going to be on the front page of TechCrunch? Seriously, this is an open-sourc
