This is a decent way to estimate the average score. But sometimes you're not really trying to estimate the average score. You're really trying to estimate the score that the user who's currently viewing the page would give it, especially

Measuring energy consumption with this level of granularity could be one of the most effective ways of reducing it. My only complaint is that its coming from Google, who already has enough of my personal data!

Try again now. Both Yahoo! and Live are pretty close to Google right now in terms of relevance. Branding is another story, but the results aren't bad.

People only try to contact you all the time & expect you to be available if you give them that expectation. Tell your coworkers that you're not going to be checking email on weekends. Tell your friends that you don't answer your phone

Randy Pausch put it best: "The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something." If you haven't heard this phrase, you really should watch his "Last Lecture": http

Third that. I used to work at a company that processed a high volume of payments. It's a pretty big pain to be PCI compliant, from restricting access to any server that handles payment information, to managing who can access what informatio

If integration is your metric, the MS stack allows you to be incredibly integrated. On top of Windows+Office, get Exchange Server & Sharepoint Server, and use Active Directory, and you've got a corporate IT department's dream. It all

There are plenty of sites like rentacoder.com, odesk.com, elance.com where you can post a project. If you're looking to attract someone from this site to work on the project, it might be helpful to explain more about the project, what you b

At least they're just storing a primary key on the RFID tag, as opposed to the actual data. The Boston subway actually stored value on the cards, and some MIT kids exploited that this summer -- ( http://www-tech.mit.edu/V128/N30/subway/Def

Anyone know how they estimate the market shares of various browsers? On an average day, I'll use Firefox 3, Chrome, IE7 and sometimes Konqueror & IE8. How would that get counted?

Vista introduced features that let network admins have more control over machines on the network, and Win7 kept those features, and fixed many of the infamous Vista problems. So there is an incentive for corporate IT depts to upgrade to Wi

Don't worry about it. Manager #2 realizes you have choices to make, and won't take it personally. Just be cordial in your reply, like cperciva said.

Good point. A better way would be to randomly sort visitors to the site into either the A or B group, and make that sorting sticky over time (cookies aren't perfect, but are a reasonable approximation). No magically disappearing phone num

There's a reason programmers (myself included) often take the easy way out. Namely, it's easier. This is probably a bad reason when you're building the next great app, but is a perfectly acceptable reason when you just want to get somethin
