Memcache will only make sense if it is hosted in the private LAN. I think the point is that he's only offering it to Linode users in the Dallas data center, which is where his service is located. Therefore the latency will be in the sub

I guess, but what are they going to do? It's not exactly easy to replace a system of pneumatic tubes for transferring money within a building; a suitable replacement is going to take forever to conceive and implement. And they've only los

Buying a DVD (especially used) is barely more expensive than renting, and there are all kinds of benefits to owning it, including the ability to watch it over a long period of time, lending it to friends, watching a really good movie multip

I have a friend who is a lawyer, and his stance is that when it comes to employment, there are too many variables involved to make a good judgment on where you stand without contacting an attorney who practices in the relevant jurisdiction.

I've thought to myself, "I wish there was a timeout attribute on the <script> tag," about once every few months for the past 10 years. Is there any good reason you can't manually specify how long you want the browser to wait for an

Good point, but I'd recommend watching out for mistranslations, otherwise when speaking/writing German, the wrong word is going to come up, and you're going to have to be corrected several times before you are able to naturally find the cor

Sorry, I don't; I'd appreciate any recommendations as well! I used to read business and tech news in French, but it was frustrating because most of the articles were rehashed from things I read hours (or days) before in English, and I try t

I just tried it with French (a language I already know).. and I don't think that it's a good tool. In my opinion, you should always avoid seeing incorrect usage of language when learning. This extension does not properly translate the wor

As someone who has a lot of Swedish friends and has spent a lot of time there, I can't imagine that this could possibly be true. First of all, every Swedish person I know seems to already have a higher standard of living than the American

In my experience, if a good comment that is "not in-line with the majority crowd" gets downvoted, it will bounce back up quickly. On the other hand, poor-quality comments stay voted down over time.
