I've poked around the Arc code (Arc1) and the HN release therein, but couldn't find the answer. But thanks for the idea. I'm betting this is an 'optimization' feature....

I am 10 years your junior and I had the privilege of playing on BBS (512) in 1994-1995. I was enthralled with my old Packard Bell. True, it was mostly a file dump board (what wasn't back then), but it was fun nonetheless.

Mssr.Byrne Hobart, thank you for an excellent link. Your blog is also quite good. I'm going to have to dig around more. Having played with the actual Excel spreadsheet, this seems like something that probably could have been done with Math

To the founders (Ethan and Daniel?): will you reserve any editorial control? I guess the most obvious factor that could led to the entire site's corruption is bad data (e.g., Han Solo, God, etc.) or particular data that a party may not want

I respectfully disagree with edw519. While your assessment that you are indeed not a "programmer" may be technically accurate, but, if this is you: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/2/B06/B99 then I think you sufficiently qualify under a very b

The video interview in the above link is particularly cool. Hadoop seems to be the quasi-secret sauce in a number of projects. A comparison between Hadoop and Google's Sawzall is at: http://glinden.blogspot.com/2007/04/yahoo-pig-and-google

First, thanks for the great advice. But, any ergonomic advice at all for MacBook/MBP users (aside from just don't do it)? E.g. can anyone recommend a good keyboard replacement or app or something else?
