The Stan O'Neil one is incorrect. Google spokes persons was on BBC Radio the other day and stated that it was one of the commenters on the article that requested the removal.
No difference, just a new name. Not so bad I guess, however I fear it will cropper when vendors leap on the bandwagon again and start sell inappropriate tools and frameworks badged as Microservice and we can start the process of renaming again.
It still appears in their list of supported hardware though. http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start of course when you dig deeper it is clear it doesn't work but still should it be in one of the other tables showing support in progress
If it's static files I'd recommend the cloudflare free tier to off load them on to their CDN. https://www.cloudflare.com/plans I'm not affiliated other than being a customer...
If, like me, you have multiple permutations of your email that actually work you're going to annoy the recipient quite a bit by emailing them multiple times using that technique. If this is someone you wish to impress then I'd advise against this approach.
https encrypts the host header (indeed all the http headers), so yes it does encrypt the domain in that respect. What it can't encrypt is the destination IP address, which would be reverse looked up to the domain if everything was configured right in the DNS.
It's actually fairly good now that most of the improvements in 1.1 can be used with browser support like pipelining, compression, keep-alives and so on. However it isn't perfect SPDY is better still as it allows for things like muxing and pre-emptive resource downloading.
Learn the fundamentals not the frameworks. The frameworks will come and go but the fundamentals change much more slowly. For example in this case, if you don't already, learn how long polling works, and what the alternatives are, learning how web sockets work, learn how comet works etc. It will lead on to how TCP/IP works at a basic level anyway.
When writing network protocols or de-marshalling binary data it's common to want to know which bits are set in a byte. You might do
a & 4 == 4
to test the 3rd bit is set, how would you do this with 'regular programming'?
I'm sorry he got (1.) wrong. Let's be really generous and say that he means databases that aren't relational (which is totally different from XML database), even by that definition I'd argue that there aren't more people (developers) using Non relational over relational. How about end users, yes probably more users, but even in 2004 more people were using non-relation databases than relational (file systems, LDAP, Lotus Domino, VSAM, IMS, AD). So perhaps you could interpret surpass to mean 'better than', well that's just vague.
