Thanks for the warning. Any efficient front end could replace node.js in this design. I'm not wedded to it and it is the most recent component added. I was trying to get out a huge concept in my head, and probably wasn't very clear. The r

I'll look at appscale again. I'm more fond of the way CouchApp/CouchDB works than the way GAE works, though, so I'm going to try and do this with very little coding. I really think that I'll only have to write a couple hundred lines of co

I think the short answer is "no", but check out appscale. They are working on doing exactly that. Though much of the stuff behind GAE is proprietary-- like BigTable-- so these components have to be replaced. Gives some portability but no

I also recommend intel, had one of the very early ones fail after a year, but got quick no-questions replacement.

When they vanish without warning, do they take the EBS with them? Is having your OS on an EBS (as is required for micro) a dangerous thing, because the instance vanishing without warning might result in a corrupted EBS drive, making restora

Your point about these projects being bleeding edge is well taken. I picked BigCouch and CouchDB because both of them have been used in production for over a year. I haven't vetted redis in the same way, so maybe it isn't quite stable enou

Argh, but they won't let me buy them because their website is so poorly programmed. Several attempts to checkout just returned to the "enter credit card info" page without an error. Switched to chrome was able to check out only to get "we

Please advise on when erlang is good for production. They have a bit more frequent releases, it seems, an I'd expect. Is it feasible to install R14B and stick with it until R15B? Or do i need to be installing the -1 ets as well? Also, is

I'm four of the 8! Of course, though, I think he's wrong. For instance, wanting to get rich quick is not necessarily a detriment, as it depends on your definitions or both rich and quick!

Thanks for the advice. It is my hope that I can keep the custom code to a bare minimum. There may already be a node based dns server out there, found a couple references, and am hoping the web platform is very minimal, letting me extend it

I agree completely, and they needed the deal to get the first phone out there. Now that it has been such a success, they don't need that leverage band starting to go nonexclusive and to unlock the devices.

Ah, I haven't checked recently, but back when I first heard about consumer reports saying this, I went and checked their website directly. Just found a recent confirmation: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/electronics/2010/09/apple-i...

Consumer reports used to have credibility. I remember trusting them for years. I stopped over a decade ago when I thought they were slipping... but this latest fiasco shows they are all about the links and the hype and not about the integ

Back in the 1990s, Apple, as prescient as always, proposed to the FCC that certain spectrum be set aside for "wireless internet use". This spectrum would have been open to anybody, and would have allowed anybody, using spread spectrum to o

I don't see it as the same as Apple vs. Google. Apple and Google both have to fight the carriers and they have positions with different strengths and weaknesses. I think both want to break the carriers power and end up with open networks,

It is worth noting that in every region where Apple does not have carrier exclusivity, they sell unlocked phones. So the locking is an exclusivity / subsidy component. It seems clear to me, by studying Apple's patents, that they originally

Think about your assertion that the appstore isn't good for consumers. Do you really believe that? Consumers are not hackers. Consumers do not really understand technology that well. The appstore provides a safe buying experience for cons

Think about it this way. You can install any app you want on your iPhone as well. The thing is, Apple charges $99 a year for the privilege. Get a developer account, and run whatever you want. In order to have any security, you need to sign

Prior to the iPhone, apps on an a phone were paying $3/month to a carrier for crappy junk. The phones were locked down. It was far from "standard practice" to load your own apps onto your own phone, and the apps you could choose to use we

Consider using amazon payments. They let you put in an arbitrary business name, I beleive, but verify. I think google checkout is the same way. I wouldn't use paypal anyway with their propensity to steal money. They tried to steal from

Yes, so for tax purposes, in the us at least, it gets taxed as regular income. You can look into the hobby rules with the IRS if it is relatively small.

Deflation is not a possibility. The US government is issuing racord levels of debt and running record deficits. This requires monetary inflation to finance, litarally, this is what produces treasuries. Sectors of an economy can go up and do

Not a very good book. Oreilly publishes a similarly named and more recent book that I expect is better. I do have this book, and it probably was really useful in the days of swing, but for web applications it misses the mark by a wide mar
