Other than search and google.com, the reliability of Google's services is truly awful.

The language is irrelevant, the model is what really matters, of course Limbo or any other language built around CSP will be better than libthread, but one can do CSP on pretty much any language. One can use pthreads (or the like) in almo

Greed is pretty much inherent to human beings. Capitalism unlike any other system, actually extracts productive value from greed. Other systems treat greed as much as a virtue or more, but provide much more harmful ways to satisfy such gree
