   That's pretty standard for Servlet containers.

   I guess lawsuits have become the record industry's core business, rather than selling music.

   Usually I'm skeptical about European plans, but this time I think they might just get lucky and petrol runs out just in time.

   I don't think that's quite comparable. Contrary to platforms like Google App Engine or iOS, the core infrastructure AWS offers is sufficiently open and commonplace that you wouldn't have such a hard time moving away from them in the unlikel

   I'm sure they would love to have him, but they've always been 5 years ahead of whatever Ray Ozzie did.

   I think a lot of people are missing the big picture. For the past few decades, the economy has been transforming to be increasingly technological, moving away from oil and unnecessary manufacturing, transport, and administration. Several te

   Stackoverflow doesn't seem to have many problems with it. Anyone who has done any C# programming knows .Net is * embarrassingly fast* these days. It'll save you a lot of "scaling" money. What killed MySpace is poor management. It is one of

   I'd be surprised if there were actually going to be porn sites on xxx, since it can be blocked so easily. Probably it's going to more about underground culture.

   I always find these browser extensions completely terrifying. You can have all the encryption in the world, but all it takes to extract your bank account or credit card information is one lousy browser extension.

    Looks very well done. What I don't like is that is has a slow feel to it.

    Every time I see a "everything will be fine" article, things get worse a few hours later. Please, just sit on your hands, wait, and see. Maybe Chernobyl wasn't actually as bad as it could have been. Maybe Fukushima is going to be a lot wors

    It's a bit old, but still relevant: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/85/bezos_2.html If Bezos's personality is decidedly noncorporate, so are some of his ideas about how to run a large organization. One of Bezos's more memorable behin

    You could probably make your excellent personas a little less cynical. In cases where you want to point out a flaw it's best to not act as if you think you know everything. Start your sentences with "you could probably".

    I like that it hides the fraction. I'm a computer scientist. I don't like fractions. Instead of celebrating tau, we should be celebrating integers. Robust, fast, compact, reliable, easy to understand. With pi I can use more integers. Thank

    No need to look so far. The area of a circle is πr^2. π without 2 is used everywhere.

    The longest blockchain are accepted as the most authoritative. Why would the nodes be aware of the longest block chain? Unless the evil peers are able to generate enough mining power, they can't discard transactions. Lets, for the sake

    It's funny that people are adopting BitCoin without any compelling evidence that it is safe. All alarm bells should go off when you hear "security without trust". I'm sure that if BitCoin will be taken seriously, Bruce Scheier will be happy

    I used to be fascinated by this type of peer-to-peer system and spent a lot of time studying and designing them. Unfortunately, there is pretty much always a way to overthrow/overtake them with lies and large groups unless there is a centra

    Best way to deal with these discoveries is just to forget about them and in a few years time look back and see if anyone stood up to challenge them. Reviewers can only look at the sanity of the paper, not at its truth. Even if they are very
