Thanks for the great information. One quick question... when you say you're "back to Flash" for your next project, are you talking about moving back to Flash (as opposed to Flex) as your dev tool/programming paradigm or did you stray from t

of course they're going to say it won't destroy the world because if it does, it's like a "get out of jail free" card. they can't be held accountable, so there is no downside! :-)

If true, he's probably just burned out. If I were the CTO for a company that required the coordination of software across 10,000 servers (and growing), I'd need an extended vacation, too.

what he doesn't address (and perhaps wasn't briefed-on) is the rate at which they can crawl and process pages. i have to imagine that the per-page computational costs are fairly high. if that's true, then it might not be appropriate for any

Don't tolerate it. If someone is going off the political deep-end, then let them go (in a legal way). You might think doing so could cause things to get worse, but, in many instances, the remaining team will breathe a sigh of relief once th

Actually,they claim to develop a 'PROTOTYPE,' not a shippable product. There can be a large chasm between the two. They way I interpret their service is like this: They build enough of a prototype to help you get funding. They make no menti
