ARRGH! Did no one actually read that paper? Its 1MB limit on data size and concentration on HA for writes makes it unsuitable for this purpose, just as it is unsuitable for S3 (a previous rumor purported by the commenters on this site). RTF

RDDB makes no sense to me. I was at RubyConf when it was announced. Why clone CouchDB in Ruby? Its got none of the awesomeness Erlang brings to the table for things such as this and you can embed Ruby in CouchDB with less work than Anthony

What a cop-out. Those teachers are banning one of the greatest sources of information on the Web today just so they don't have to teach their students the concept of 'caveat emptor' ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveat_emptor ). All source

This is the Monty Hall problem. As such, your chances do increase by switching doors. Its simple Bayesian inference.

Spammers have employed this technique since roughly about the time they started sending images. See here for some examples: http://www.jgc.org/tsc.html Also, real OCR is too expensive to do at the volumes of mail being sent today. Gmail i

"It can be really stressful especially if there is a bug in the program. That pushes us back by almost a week." I'd love to only ever have these kinds of bugs.

Ok, Facebook is not worth $15 billion. Its not even worth $500 million. I want this meme to end now.

Its called "challenge-response" or C/R, for short. Its been around almost as long as email has and its not new or innovative. Nick would have had some trouble productizing that even if he wanted to, in that its a terrible "solution" that al

I'm totally with sbh here. This title is ridiculous and overblown. What he was dealing with were spammers, not marketers.

They don't appear to be relevant to Google because they don't help Google better determine ways to leverage AdWords and AdSense. GA's JavaScript snippet in fact returns to Google more and more pertinent information than is resident in the a

I think it would be less bandwidth. Considering the overhead of all the individual HTTP headers both in request and response, you could reduce that significantly by batching up log files and uploading them at regular intervals, perhaps once

I think both Werner Vogels and the paper itself were pretty clear that this was NOT the basis for S3. This line from section 1 is pretty telling even had they not spoken up on this: "To meet the reliability and scaling needs, Amazon has d

KFS won't really be interesting until they do a MapReduce-clone. You need something like that in order to be able to do anything with the data stored.

It sounds to me like the closest thing to what you want is a library for Object Prevalence < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_prevalence> . There is one that I know of for Python called Pypersyst < http://pypersyst.org/>

I tried to get it from Amazon again. Lets see if they can handle it this time ;-) I'm not going to buy it from Oreilly b/c I get free (amortized) shipping from Amazon and its $13 cheaper.

Its not out yet. I bought it on Amazon and then they told me a couple days later that it would take until November to actually receive it. I cancelled the order.

+1. All of Google's AJAX apps start blowing up the VSZ/RSS of the process when I leave them open for even a medium amount of time (i.e. longer than 15 minutes). This is using Firefox on Mac OS X. Most of the Google AJAX apps are not support

You should not use any, if you can get away with it. Start with Hadoop ( http://lucene.apache.org/hadoop/ ) and see if you can wrap your head around that first before tying yourself to the RDBMS lifestyle.

That article oscillates between being tautological and stereotyping. How the hell did it make it on this forum?

There is AllegroCache for storing objects, which is supposed to be nice (though, I've never used it): http://www.franz.com/products/allegrocache/ I don't know how much it costs, either.
