True. When the Air came out the 13" MBP with 10 hour battery life didn't exist though. With the recent update of the MBP line the battery life and performance gap between Air and MBPs has widened.

The whole point of the Air is that it doesn't weigh very much. It weighs the same as a netbook but is much more powerful. Look at it this way: a 13" Macbook Pro weighs a whopping 50% more and all you get is a CPU that's a little faster, big

Very simplistic to just look at CO2. And how do you define what is good for nature?

In a server you replace the hard drive and let the RAID array rebuild itself. You have RAID in your server, right? Of course RAID is not a backup strategy. RAID 1 is great for exactly the mentioned event: when a hard drive fails. If some of

Too much focus on "creating jobs" just like politicians. It's easy to create make-work for everyone. The key is creating value. If the government allocates the resources you end up with starvation, as history shows. The soccer example is a

Maybe reading some discussions about scaling makes you fuss over it right away, but you don't have to. Initially you can simply install Apache and Passenger (aka. mod_rails). With PHP most people use mod_php. It is true that hosting rails a

I agree. If algorithms are slow, it doesn't matter as long as they are fast enough. You should not spend time prematurely optimizing for performance that you don't need, if you can more easily use caching to give you real, experienced perfo

You don't have to "be Google" to benefit from caching. An e-commerce site that is more responsive sells more. One reason for using caching in a website is having less load so that you can serve more visitors. Another is simply to give each

In Denmark, as a requirement to get a drivers license, you have to go to a closed driving circuit and do brake and avoidance maneuvers at different speeds and go on a skid pad. Feel how the car reacts on the limits. A standard drivers licen

You're on to something: in my math classes they would often be referred too as a "væltet Turborg". Which means a "fallen down Tuborg" ie. it's turned on the side. The profile can be seen on the roof of this truck: http://www.mc-barskk.dk/i

Economics is not a natural science. It is a social science. It's pretty important to understand this, but most people don't.

Simple is good. If you make tires more complicated there will be drawbacks. Expensive and more things to break and go wrong. There are already run-flat tires and tires with pressure sensors. The cars are the way they are because it works an
