OK, but I think the suggested relationship between motion and e-motion is misleading. It is interesting poetically, but it is not particularly insightful or useful in an argument.

That is one goal of SEO. Another related goal is to have the search result's blurb compel the user to actually click on the link.

I thought it was interesting that the reporter downplayed Lewis' focus on Barry Zito. That was the only real name I remember from the book, aside from Beane. IIRC, Zito got a good deal of coverage in Moneyball .

Darn, I thought the movements were calculated to take gravity, momentum, and friction into account, thus keeping the cans stationary. There has to be a better or more succinct term for this phenomenon -- centrifugal or centripetal force is

Larger players tend to have a competitive advantage over smaller. This can be things like economies of scale or supplier bullying. Having Amazon as a competitor will make it hard to make a buck, but if they do, they will clearly be a very

The keypad at an office I worked at about 10 years ago had an electronic display that randomized the key positions. The display's viewing angle was artificially narrowed as well. I thought that all of this was to prevent shoulder-surfing

What's to fear? The nature of free software is robust to commercial interference (by design), and didn't Red Hat prove that the relationship is generally mutually beneficial? Don't we want free software in the data center?

Yes, the difference is software. The filesystem performance is better. The hardware has the same performance.

OK, this makes more sense to me. I would have said: "... dramatically improve hardware performance by tightly integrating Sun hardware with Oracle software".

by Nwallins 17y ago
Note: I am distinguishing between software and firmware, here. My point is, if the overall performance improves after a software update, you have improved the software performance. The hardware performance is what it is. Edit: If Michael
