For a system that serves up webpages and has a decent database back end, it works and works well. The overhead required to fit what you are serving to fit within App Engine isn't major. With a lot of other systems you have a lot of inf

My very first website was on GeoCities. After a while my site got too popular so I moved to paid hosting. It did a fantastic job for what I needed it for and was surprised that Yahoo managed to completely fuck it up.

You're not doing a very good job. Almost all my flights these days use a 3X to reduce the YQ. The economist does a fairly good job at explaining it. http://www.economist.com/blogs/gulliver/2013/11/fu

Bill Gates has good intentions and in some cases is doing well. If only he wasn't so swayed by the likes of Geoffrey Sachs and Bono. There is a great book written by Nina Munk about Sachs, if only Gates could try and change his mind an
