I used to agree, but then I went to central eastern Africa (Burundi). 7mb takes a long time to download on a 3kbps connection. I'm not so sure now. There's a long tail of people with slow connections & small hard drives. I guess this is

They just upped their Google Checkout credit card processing rates as well. They used to be 2% + $0.20 which was phenomenal, but they've increased them to a tiered pricing that isn't as competitive for smaller merchants. I wonder if Google

I've found that Twitter SMSs don't always get to my phone. Anecdotally, I'd guess it's probably around a 5% drop rate.

That's a great question that had never crossed my mind. How do you manage security in cloud? Can you even do it? Because someone else is administrating your servers, they can get access to everything you have. Is there a way around that? Or

Well, Sun's JVM has been generational for a long time. It's the incremental & compacting implementation that is new.

Right, so this isn't news in that it's new technology. It's news in that the JVM is becoming a better platform & catching up, technologically, to where other languages have been for years. One nice thing about this is that all JVM langu

My guess is that because this is the 2nd gen, people think it's more refined, that Amazon has had time to work out the kinks, that neither it nor Amazon's ebook distribution are just going to disappear tomorrow. The marketing also seems bet

It tells you that Prolog's list append function has far more general applicability than just appending lists. Because of the way Prolog is designed you can use that function definition to do destructuring pattern matches on lists - to find
