Are you speaking in terms of traffic? Several very large sites run on PHP (Facebook comes to mind) while few run on Ruby (I think Twitter tops the list).

"Eye flirting" might be perceived as rude in the wrong context by people who aren't lesbians. Understanding that context is part of being socially adept. There's a fine line between confident and creepy.

I agree with jdavid - books on gender-related issues can be helpful. [The Game] is hysterical. Read the ones for guys and girls. Some others: [How to Succeed with Women] - Sounds cheesy, but goes over the basics that "geeks" often miss, inc

I have recently written a Beautiful Soup / Twisted crawler. To make it distributed, presumably we'd use Amazon's queue service. Feel free to get in touch if you're interested in the details.

Right behind you on this one. After reading the article I was terrified that YC.News would line up behind PG - how refreshing to see that the community is more than happy to dissent. I don't agree, but I really respect the forum which he wa

Look at this graph of television ad spending over the last 30 years - http://www.nextcenturymedia.com/images/Image3.gif - (the associated article - http://www.nextcenturymedia.com/library/dougross-article-b.h... - is less pertinent.) W
