The real issue is not "burning" but "low-contrast."

Notorious is the wrong word. It is well-known, however, and well-reputed on MIT's campus. It's an annual standing-room-only event.

It's not true that you need bad content for advertising to work. You just need advertising that's better than the content. I watch Superbowl ads willingly, and I read basically every ad in WIRED that doesn't look crappily designed. That sai

But are you the last of the good or the first of the bad?

Should burn a lot less than black on white, actually.

account.py was included at the very bottom of the stack trace. The trace didn't include the offending line, though, which is kinda confusing.

You think people want Facebook to fail? My impression is the opposite. Seems like everyone with money invested in web 2.0 really wants them to succeed. Your argument works equally well there. Don't be so sure of Facebook's infallibility, ei

Look at how well that went. For both companies.

Clever, but I think once someone malicious has physical access to your RAM, you should consider hitting them or calling the cops.

You know Adobe has a similar product, right? FlashPaper? Maybe you've seen it before, like on Scribd yesterday...

IE's got a pretty big browser share, most of it from people who aren't savvy enough to understand why all of a sudden on Tuesday morning their favorite website looks broken when it was fine Monday night. I don't think it's arrogance to look

ACID-related stuff would be the big win. Also, not having to manually synchronize access to your resources (assuming you're servicing more than one request at a time).
