I will probably end up using stackless. CCP seems to have gotten it to work quite well for EVE. I'm still really impressed by their single server MMO architecture.

That looks like it could eventually be incredibly useful. I hope that they write their code in a way which allows some of their improvements to be added to Python.

It looks like it's just up or down on the y-axis. RRDTool is often used to generate more complex graphs, so something this simple isn't always the most intuitive.

If you aren't already familiar with the various web-based DB to tools, that wouldn't be a bad place to start. The basic admin interfaces from Rails or Django are probably simpler than what you are looking for, but you might get some ideas.

It seems like this probably would have been more accurate if terminal velocity had been mentioned. I'm not sure if Mario would hit it on the scale they were working at, but if he does, that would certainly skew the results. Also, it is inte

One thing I don't like about many of the things in Google labs is the lack of settings like that. I also don't like that there is no way to set how much offline data Gears will store.

I'll admit that I'm no PHP expert, but I was under the impression that htmlentities prevented XSS by converting all special html characters to their equivalent html entity. If HTML entities works properly, and it is used properly, shouldn't

I would definitely recommend trying to get on the inside of the startup somehow. A huge part of business is networking. Do anyone of your friends know someone who works at or owns a startup? See if they can put in a word for you and maybe g

They definitely don't, at least not right now. They are a big company with a huge market share, and that scares people. However, they don't generally do things that give them an unfair advantage over their competition. Yahoo, Ask, etc are d
