   I think I would have gone with "summary" personally. Resume is rarely used (in the US anyway) as describing anything but a summary of credentials and work history for the purposes of applying for employment. Or, given that this is the inter

   IBM's Metronome[1] advertises maximum pause times in the hundreds of micro seconds range. Cliff Click[2] cites a 10MB max heap for it so definitely not a cure-all but definitely something I'd like to play around with. [1] http://domino.wat

   I also recommend "All The Devils Are Here" [1] which covers basically the same ground as "Inside Job" the documentary but in more detail. [1] http://www.amazon.com/All-Devils-Are-Here-Financial/dp/15918...

   What are the chances of these being commercially available anytime soon? Is a single consumer (even if it's facebook-sized) enough to jumpstart a B2C supply chain? It's hard to see this catching on with anyone not building green field unles

   According to the article payment is handled via credit cards in the backend so you could have $0 on hand. Your broader point definitely still stands.

   Microsoft undoubtedly has a lot of smart people and a lot of fascinating research. They also have a serious problem turning that research expertise into shipped product.

    Absolutely. When I interviewed for my current job one of the interviewers walked in, looked at my resume and said "Wow a resume with no Windows on it. Nice." Not that I'm bashing the Microsoft stack mind you, it just doesn't interest me. I'

    Counterpoint, I have on occasion found category pages on wikipedia to be enormously useful. I'm not aware of any other way to see in one stroke a huge chunk of specialist vocabulary associated with a single topic. Real-world use case, I was

    Maybe I'm dense but I don't see any API documentation on how to use it.

    Fun to play with but no free level for the API seems odd. The FAQ is unhelpful: http://help.datamarket.com/kb/using-data-from-datamarketcom-...

    The IPCC goes into substantial detail on cost estimates for mitigation, in brief: > Stabilizing CO2 concentrations at around 445 to 535 ppm, limiting the longterm temperature rise to about 3.6 to 5.4°F (2 to 3°C), is estimated to redu

    There's no advantage against a motivated, state-sized actor. Against other attackers there is still substantial advantage.

    > liberals want to set the level of spending to match their preferred level of taxation I've never met a single human being who thinks this way. I'm not denying that such people exist but it seems to be an absurdly broad brush. Edit:

    The original context is different and the tone is flippant but "If you're not paying you're not the customer, you're the product". Considering how easy it is for ad-supported businesses to suddenly become unsupported and disappear I'm willi

    I'd say all of those are irrelevant to the central moral/legal premise which is: did she enter into a contract to purchase the tickets? If she entered a bid on ebay she is obligated to go through with the transaction. That said the cancer t
