It looks like a SQL syntax to access noSQL databases.
I'm not sure if that's a step forward or backward.

If that were a real patent, GoDaddy would owe Ebay millions.
Don't ignore your own application requirement.
Answering the robot question should be what's in the cover letter; anyone who ignored that, or sent you some boilerplate they'd used elsewhere, is not the person you want.
Actually, unlike their government, most Greek households do not have high debts:
"Greek consumers are relatively frugal, with household debt equal to just 61% of GDP, compared the American household debt of 95.7% of GDP"
Also, try to find out if there are candies which are sold only in Japan; I'm in NYC, and have lots of places where I can buy Japanese candy, but if there's something I can't get here, it will be more appealing.
Finally, you need to do something about the cost: I might try it if it were under $10 but $24 per month is just way too high.
I suppose they think that since you're visiting their site directly, you wouldn't think (or know) to visit one of their reseller partners instead.
I actually got my invite from someone who works at Google, but I keep getting the "We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon." message when I try to join.
My friend says keep trying, but I might just wait until they open up to more people.
Actually, it's been public knowledge since 2004 that Greece has been cooking the books: http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/0...
The problem is that you cannot have monetary union without political union.
EU rules notwithstanding, Germany and Greece are run by different governments, with different laws, constituencies, and operational capabilities (or lack thereof, in Greece's case).
I've compared using it vs PayPal on my blog: http://denis.papathanasiou.org/?p=572
If you're comfortable with coding, though, you should just go to Stripe directly.
You should do it, for the beauty and expressiveness of the writing system alone.
But even according to the article you posted, bank balance sheets are still weak.
Losing $41 billion (or more, possibly, given the nature of these derivatives) is not going to be good news for them.
While technically not in recession, the economy is not thriving, either, and so one blow like this may indeed push it back into recession.
So far, all proposals to do that have been shot down by the ECB b/c even with longer and more generous terms, Greece is not in a position to service the debt, let alone repay it.
What do you think default means?
It has happened before, most recently with Argentina in 2002, and with Russia in 1998, which triggered the LTCM crisis.
"The worst I've heard is that they will restructure the loans to extend pay back dates."
That is just default in everything but name.
The reason the so-called seven year Vienna plan has so much resistance is that ECB members know they'll never get paid back.
Plus the $41 billion number is just an estimate; the real total won't be known until all the derivative contracts are unwound.
Either way, it would be a mistake to dismiss a Greek default as irrelevant to us.
Is $41 billion at risk insignificant?

“Not really,” was the reply.
If he had any programming background, he missed a golden opportunity to write a markov text generator which would have let him meet his deadlines without the stress.
I get good SEO results, as it's one of the top choices for "ipad ebook creator" and similar search phrases, and people can just start using it w/o getting the CD/DVD burn analogy.
I agree. In fact, I'm working on ways of making the service totally free for authors, by generating supporting revenues elsewhere (ideally not through ads).
So in practice, there's no real difference.
The trouble is that doing so is a violation of the DMCA, which can result in criminal charges.
So the simple act of keeping a DRM-free copy (to prevent Amazon from yanking it off your Kindle), or lending it to a friend, etc. opens up all kinds of potential problems in theory.

It'll be interesting to see what effect all this public criticism of the S1 filing does to the opening day price.
That level only makes it harder for them to realize a high return.
That can be true for investors, but employees typically have to wait years to be able to cash out their shares.
If Groupon in the long term is the bomb the S1 indicates, an IPO is not a great deal for employees (unless they already got theirs in the G round, of course).
