How about this one: int i = 1; Object.ReferenceEquals(i, i); What does it return?

The "good guys" tend to not always be good guys when they suddenly have a toy that can scan everything on all the computers in the US. There are plenty of free virus scanners out there, this isn't a technology problem but a education proble

It seems like the major email providers could justify paying security experts to take down other botnets. 11% drop in spam has to have a positive impact on their bottom line. If you are MS, Google, or Yahoo with millions of accounts all tha

While an interesting idea and entertaining this is a horrible reason to buy stock since it's all hypothetical. There are tons of better reasons to buy APPL stock right now (although I am waiting till it dips again before adding).

I believe most Slicehost slices are still hosted in St. Louis and would not be subject to the DFW data center downtime. Not sure if new ones are being created their or not.

Modern Carriers can't fit through the Panama Canal and I am sure they would be fine going around the tip of South America.

If the widget is hosted on your server then you could bracket your plans based on the traffic. So you could say $19.99 for up to 50,000 page views a month, etc. How valuable your widget is would determine how much you can charge (be sure to

well, from a publisher perspective would you rather get 50% of $10 or 80% of $1? Adroll doesn't contain the same premium level of sites as a vertical niche network because those publishers know that they can make much more with the niche ne

adroll is more of an open ad marketplace, a site can be in multiple rolls and from what I can tell the sales force isn't actively pushing individual rolls. It also doesn't appear to be very selective. The CPMs are pretty bad compared to wha

I run a number of niche networks ( http://zerkmedia.com ) and they provide a good source of income. The small ad size of The Deck and some of my networks works well in technology, but in the wedding space you would probably want more conven

This is a great idea, it is always refreshing to see people challenging the standard way of selling ads.

People will always defend something they buy, ask people similar questions about the limitations in a laptop vs. a desktop, an Xbox 360 vs. Playstation 3, a Lexus vs. BMW, and you will see very similar answers. This is really a joke of a "r

Looks like a good intro presentation to MongoDB, but I must say the slides themselves are absolutely beautiful and well done.

This is the 3rd time someone has posted something like this (once by the same submitter http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=880575 ). It's a fairly useless metric to look at second hand reports of twitter's website traffic. If you have a b

I haven't had a problem with speed yet, but then again I use CloudFront and don't serve files directly from the server. For me its worth the money for the flexibility and the ability to scale as needed. I might be able to save a little mone

The contract isn't required, but I use it to get the best deal. And if you do the reserved instance the EC2 instances get pretty cheap. Upgrading hardware involves more downtime, and it's not anywhere near as easy to scale back down if I ne

I moved up from a small instance to a medium instance on a server that I never thought I would need more power on, it took me less than 5 minutes to make the switch. (unattach the IP and EBS and attach to the new instance) This is why I pay

Twitter will make money using premium accounts, selling access to the stream, selling their own premium clients, and selling targeted advertising.

It seems like most of these guys came from Google in the first place, must be an interesting experience to leave a company, found a new company, and then have that company bought back. (I know it happens quite a bit)

Most of these providers, like Open DNS, have location based caching as well. If you go to OpenDNS' support page you can see the different caches they have and what IP is currently resolving for each region.
