When you essentially don't try to defend yourself but instead insult and berate the court and opposing council in the legal documents you submit to the court you open up a very large window for the judge to side against you when there is an

By representing herself and appearing largely ignorant to the law she not only lost the case but essentially made it so that the judge could rule no other way. Ignoring the sensationalist article and looking closer at the actual trial docum

It's not from a dc to the speedtest node; its from the campus. It wouldn't matter anyway. I work at Cisco and I have gigabit link to the core from my laptop. Problem is the speedtest nodes can't push the traffic fast enough to fill the pip

Part of my job is working on a in-kernel key/value store for a data center network operating system. The problem it is the context switching between user and kernel space kills your performance if you're targeting sub-millisecond read/write

The spike probably had a lot to do with the release of Tron: Legacy on December 17 who had a character named Quorra which could easily be misspelled as Quora. The trend for Quorra largely follows this spike as seen at http://www.google.com

They are very interesting but in practice often preform poorly due to the cpu not being able to figure out what to cache.

Dont have immediate access to the paper. I agree it is a hurdle to overcome, but I don't really know how many startups ultimately don't get started or fail because of it especially if you look at the number of startups and entrepreneurs con

That's the idea of buybacks but there's no guarantee it will result in an increased share price. Take Cisco for example, by the end of this year they will have made around $82 Billion in buybacks while their stock has remained flat over the

F# is used in quite a number of firms, especially in the Chicago area I am aware of a handful of companies. Initially it was used just for prototyping/modeling type stuff, but more and more it is seeing the light of day in production. It wi

At the same time though, you're saying you failed solely because you used HBase? Sure twitter's architecture evolved out of necessity but starting out with some NoSQL solution doesn't automatically set you up for failure.

It will be interesting to see what comes of these grants. I feel that the companies that were successful when their founders dropped out of school were driven by a founder who believed so intently and was committed to his idea that he was w

This sounds like he is the kind of guy who in less than a year will be writing about how he wished he owned one and will be first in line for the next revision later blogging about how awesome it is.

I don't think those are the problems that led to the "failure" of podcasts and companies like odeo. Sure they are nice problems to solve, but they don't fix the real issue.

They are not obligated to reply to you in any way. While the registrar can technically cancel the registration because of an invalid email addr, I don't know of a single registrar who will. Certified mail is the best way to contact them, bu

Coroutines bring their own headaches and baggage. To say that callbacks are behind "state of the art" is a little misplaced,; its just a different way of doing things. With coroutines you have to worry about IO all over the place and have t

More times than not, I've found rewriting code leads to more problems than fixing some trivial error. Some small bug in the code is not necessarily a symptom of a horrible design that will destroy your project. I don't know about the random

For a brief time I worked at a startup where all founders were remote by the time development began. It seems to be much more difficult to stay committed and focused on the tasks at hand when you only interact via email and irc, especially
