I'm really trying to give the commenters the benefit of the doubt. In their defense, Facebook was gradually rolling out a new design that its users seem to despise. That, combined with a usage spike from massive snowstorms (school/work clos

It's just a back-of-the-napkin estimate, but yeah. Try as many options as you've got time for, analyze your performance data, and get a higher performing option in place before your holiday surge.

Well, you've got an engaged audience, and you're telling them how to do something for free. I'd probably focus on related products or services. If they're on your page, you know a few things about them: they don't know how to transfer an iT

I haven't seen the implementation plan, but it shouldn't require unicode. Current IDNs (currently available below the ccTLD and gTLD level) are implemented with Punycode, and the rollout was mostly a non-issue. We've got fraud working just

Sorry, I forgot to mention one of my assumptions... There are tremendous diseconomies of scale if: you're buying the storage through traditional storage vendors. When your storage needs get really big, you'll realize that stuff is 1) a wast

The problem is that storage costs are a step function. Once you cross a certain threshold (the threshold depends on your performance requirements a.k.a. IOPS), storage gets Really Freaking Expensive (tm). The steps start to get really, real

I can assure you that backing up SharePoint is a bit more complicated than a single database backup. There's a bit of a left hand/right hand problem at Microsoft when it comes to this product. The SharePoint team seems to go out of their wa
