Thanks guys, these look like good options, but is there anything more like Second Life that doesn't tie you into it's own system, like Linden Labs does?

This is brilliant. I'm working with a client who wants to get involved with Microsoft Surface. I think I've just found a much better solution, and one that's more versatile!

Hehe, this is a good joke. I especially like the "Under Construction" animated gif!

One of the most interesting articles I've ever read on this subject is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_Paradox Just in case you haven't heard of it, FTA: "The Fermi paradox is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of

Hehe...perhaps it didn't really surprise me so much, maybe I was just hoping for it to be a bit better! I really don't like code that "hacks together" a solution and then requires a substantial remedy later (who does?!) so I'm quite interes

This is a good test, and the results are quite interesting. I'm surprised at just how much Apache + PHP beat out RoR. However, as the disclaimer in the post says, "it's not a real world test". I wonder why connecting to a database wasn't

I majored in Math as an undergrad and the best books by far (at least, from a Mathematician's point of view) are those in the "Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series": http://www.springer.com/west/home/new+%26+forthcoming+titles... All

I'm not so sure...is Facebook really likely to be around in 10-20 years? If it was me, I'd have cashed out a while back. Although, I'm sure that if Zuckerberg had his way Facebook would become FacebookOS, with Word/Excel/Open Office running

Upon immediate inspection it looks as if good business sense went straight out of the boardroom windows from this article. Looking closer, however, you can see the reasoning behind these decisions. One just has to be aware of where the prof

The article emphasises the importance of equity (for a founder) but I'd be happy with 10% of $100 million as opposed to 90% of $10,000. Surely a more important (but perhaps slightly more subtle) point is that VCs will perhaps impose additi

This reminds me of a similar article on Chimps beating humans in memory tests. It was on /. the other day, perhaps it was posted here too? If not, here's the link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/dec/04/animalbehaviou...

It's a shame that so many people will not attempt to follow on with their "dream job" goals. At my UK University there is a strong culture of getting a good degree in a quantitative field, perhaps doing a PhD in a similar (but still quantit
