   I see a lot of evidence on the website of a company that doesn't understand how to communicate.

   Anecdotally I can confirm. I've been happily married for 15 years and I've never even heard of Facebook.

   Yes I appreciate that a service like AWS can't give you HIPPA of 21CFR Part11 compliance, only supply tools that can be used that way. What I'm looking for are examples (e.g. white papers) that describe how people have done it,

   Just interested in what compliance you are referring to? We are looking at options for storing medical data in the cloud and I understand that Amazon can be used so as to conform with HIPPA [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

   The Java language is designed to be compiled to a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is a software implementation of a computer that doesn't exist (easy there existential freaks, I'm trying to keep this brief). The VM abstracts awa

   Very similar here. Additionally I've got 2 kids 13 and 10, both have ipod/phones that have no wifi access before 8am and after 9pm (router schedule against mac addresses).

   I was always a little dubious of the 90 day mission length. It sounded like NASA were just giving themselves a "yeah we meant that to happen" get out if things went bad.

   Well if there is a UK filter for porn I can assure you I appear to be on the right side of it. ;)

    Yep me too. People are too quick to dismiss the cross language issues which can in my experience can slowly erode the benefit. Typically you use an FFI to access particular functionality offered in libraries/classes only offered in a

    Thanks for the explanation and link. I think you are correct in that it doesn't appear to be using any Python. The demo I saw was given by Fernando Perez [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=F4r

    Interesting that you mention IJulia. My concern with it is that when you are trying to develop a new technique or algorithm, the idea of introducing extra layers of code running in another system (in this case IPython) seems like a lot to

    Agreed, Python with NumPy is definitely a key player in this space, probably more significant these days than Matlab. Don't forget Octave which continues to hold it's place as a Open Matlab compatible(ish) option. Whilst I'

    Here is how you deal with not being on facebook [ http://i.imgur.com/BOvxQ1F.png ] Same thing applies to every other service that you don't use.

    I think what Mike is lamenting is that London isn't succeeding in mimicking the West Coast US (or indeed anywhere US) startup scene which I think is a very valid observation. I think the UK has to learn to create an entrepreneurial

    Of course a major advantage of paper is that it isn't connected to the internet.

    Surely even the North Korean Government won't object to a USB drive full of kitten pictures. Or are they sending an unrepresentative sample of the internet? :)

    There is a similar ticket price disparity here in the UK too. You can travel from Manchester to London and back for less than £30 on the coach but it will cost over £100 for a similar journey by train. The downside is the time it takes; n

    Now imagine a dystopian future when all such diaries are available to a privileged subset of society. Imagine the power that subset would hold, and all the ways it would likely be abused. Surely that power comes not from the honesty of th

    Nicely said, although I'd recommend backing stuff up, just so when you are old you show your kids 'what daddy used to do!'
