Maybe not hosting content yourself, but embed it somehow into your website.

Good point, will think on that.

Seems very promising. I like the slogan – "explanatory social learning". How many users do you have at this moment? Have you contacted content owners to ask them for permission to place the videos directly on your website? It'd be awesome i

Yeah, you're right, the biggest problem is to make users interested from the beginning. That's why I'm not going to build it from scratch. My partner built a unique educational website with great content on programming, algorithms, networks

Thanks, that seems interesting. But it is only a platform for creating online educational communities, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm more thinking of a service that is a combination of great educational content with an active community, that

I think of it as a open-for-all online university, in the beginning at least for Russian speaking students as I have access to many Russian universities and professors who might like to participate. Regarding the problem of schoolkids misus

I'd like to see a lightweight project mgmt tool, something like basecamp integrated into Google Apps.

Does auto scaling mean my instance will grow in ram/cpu/other resources or i'll be just given more new instances?

Given real conditions that the minimal slot for VM is a 256MB RAM instance, with a physical server having 64 such slots, the educated guess is that the distribution might be similar to the normal distribution with a centre of a 2-slot VM, a

That's not a simple question. But I would guess having one 2-slot migration is better than two 1-slot migrations...

We can't reject as it'll be used in the commercial application with users paying money for using cloud resources. Basically what is needed is to find the list of VM migrations needed to be done to free enough space for a new VM (of course,

That's not that simple. Let us imagine the following configuration. We have 3 servers each of 4 slots, below is the state of each server (the state of a server is a set of VMs it's running) [3], [2, 1] and [2]. Say we need to place a new 3-

This isn't acceptable unfortunately. VMs are meant to run for quite a reasonable amount of time, so we'll be waiting very-very long until slots get available...

Thanks for your reply, eru! > Do you need an online solution or do you know all demands in advance? The online solution, as we don't know the type of load in advance. It resembles tetris in some way, meaning that we don't know which pie

I wouldn't say Vim has a ridiculous learning curve, it took me about 5 minutes to read through vimtutor and get started with vim. However, being a vim adept for a long time hasn't stopped me from switching to textmate when it came to develo
