Only the first one is a funny moment. Paul Graham, in the middle of all the AV trouble, says "What Talks Are Really Like". Greg McAdoo: To sell to enterprise, offer an ROI so powerful that a person who turns you down would be scared of gett

They mentioned this at the recent SF Python Meetup. They had found an academic paper that they thought they could apply to Python to get rid of the GIL, but it turned out someone had already tried it unsuccessfully. I think that goal of unl

Not really. They hadn't put this data together before. Now they did, and they found the ring. The conclusions about other galaxies are also based on data. It's not like anyone had previously said that there is no such ring around the solar

Are there are any well-written overviews of the aspects of qmail's design that you're referring to?

How is the statement is dishonest? My guess is that she meant "affected searches that were limited by group" while you heard "affected searches within this one particular group".

The video starts about a minute too late, so you miss one of the best PG quotes: "Everybody, stop using the Internet!" It turned out he didn't mean it that way -- he was just asking the audience to stop using the wireless network so he coul

Is it possible that this would bias the data so much that it would undermine the contest results?

An idea that's not novel, but perhaps worth revisiting: your points are still valid without the insults and condescension.

I'm guessing pg isn't that into movies. For me, there's no comparison to the theater experience. Also, on "content" as undistinguished: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=1743

Google Apps appear to have been stagnant while MS worked on this. Is that really the case, or does Google too have something up their sleeve?

I think the experiment design eliminates that possibility. Why would this group of rats do worse than the ones that were electrically stimulated, but not in a way that disrupted the ripple events?

I don't understand. What exactly does Twitter do that you don't think Facebook wants to move into?

For Twitter to turn down Facebook's acquisition offer, they must have a damned good plan for beating them in the "status" war, because FB is on the attack and gaining ground. What is that plan?

Facebook stopped measuring inactive users a long time ago. Anything you hear out of them refers to active users.

Let's go with hundreds of millions within a few years. I'd bet on that.

Yes, Facebook is going to be worth billions. Since you can't short the stock yet, we have to make a bet on the side, but I'd be happy to.

- At least choose a font for your title. - "can probably be compiled on many other UNIX-like operating systems" comes across well from one nerd to another, but probably not to managers. This gets into the question of who your target audienc
