It will be interesting to see if other backup services will follow. I've always wondered how they managed to keep prices so low. Considering the price of S3 (asuming their costs are similar to Amazon's) then only the storage costs of 100Gb

I think the main reason Amazon chose Oracle over databases like PostgreSQL is that it also makes it easier for a lot of people to convince their boss to move to AWS.

This is exciting! Not necessarily because Oracle is the best choice if you're an AWS customer but because it's and indication that Amazon is planning on supporting even more databases. Let's hope for PostgreSQL-support any time soon! I thin

Have you looked into 80legs.com? It seems like a good service to use if you want to start your own niche search engine (I'm not affiliated with them, just curious).

This looks very promising! Microsoft has similar features (although not officially supported yet) for ASP.NET: http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/50869 http://aspnet.codeplex.com/releases/view/35893

My Master's Thesis covered exactly that. I'm currently working on commercialising the idea, so you can expect a "HN - Review my startup" within a year :)

That's for comparison-based sorting algorithms (i.e. sorting objects where the only information you have about them is whether one object is "bigger"/"smaller" than the other. For objects where you have more information about the object (i.

I still think you are able to accept more people into the country. In 2007 the Swedish city Södertälje (with about 80 000 cititzens) accepted more Iraqi refugees than the US & Canada combined: http://www.sweden.se/eng/Home/Work/Life-in

It's not a matter of creating or destroying jobs. It's a matter of productivity. During the past 200 hundred years, employment rates have stayed more or less the same (compared to the revolutionary improvements in standards of living we hav

You mean that it usually does not prevent a statement from being overly-broad. :)

That would be really cool! And with e.g. VNC or Remote Desktop you could run more demanding tasks off of your dekstop computer.

Especially since the Nobel Peace Price is awarded by a committee of five people elected by the Norwegian Parliament. All other comittees are Swedish. Alfred Nobel's intention with this was to improve Sweden-Norway relations.

The city that was the most positive surprise was probably Honolulu. The people were even friendler than I had expected, the city was the cleanest of them all and I really liked the way they had combined beach- and "city"-life. If you wanna

Popluation density doesn't completely explain it. For instance here in Sweden we also have 100Mbps Internet-connection for about $20-$30/month and flat-rate 3g data-plans and we aren't exactly densily populated (#192 in the world according
