There are so many (new) languages for the JVM; its becoming a curse of plenty! (Not complaining.) Its a great platform, and invokedynamic will usher in a whole new generation of languages. Lets just hope the Java 7 actually happens given

My magic decoder ring says the gist of it is that: tech crunch is really a government agency front (PR) pushing intelligence gathering tools (research) such as twitter on the unwary public (wife).

I tried, but I guess the attempt was too 'poignant'. Here's an idea for anyone else interested: the parallel lives of _why the lucky stiff expressed in Erlang.

Your advice is sound. The first requirement is 'desire'. One must desire mental acuity. (Time will tell if he will regret giving up physics and mathematics for the ephemeral ego boost of having his "work" viewed by n people.)

There is nothing weird about wanting to protect your eye sight. This is one of those commonalities that does not require explanation. Its a shared experience: nobody('s eyes) likes looking at smudged up screens.

"the idea of using "he" to be gender neutral doesn't bother me. Maybe it's because I'm a sexist" Or perhaps you don't mind being subtly emasculated.

Ad sense lets them know which page you just viewed. iPhone voice interface for maps gives them your voice biometrics. Search history must be a treasure trove for a psychological analysis and profile. Lets hope Google is not an NSA operation

I don't think 'response-time' and 'scalability' are merely differentiated degrees of a given scalar, either. Scalability is a multi-dimensional measure, which incorporates 'response-time'. "professionalizing the field of web development" I

Perhaps (they are equivalent fractions) but I rarely meet American movers and shakers that worry about the American underclass. You should read my statement as a positive consideration of the priorities of the Indian elite.

I think as children we occupy a much more primal social space than that which we occupy as adults. As adults, the spaces of interactions we occupy are highly regulated by internalized models of behavior. (We let loose when we feel free of

These are all excellent suggestions. Potential interviewers please note that leaving the candidate in a conference room with blank paper and pencil potentially filters excellent developers who are just not used to literally writing code on
