There are countless differences between EC2 & Rackspace for example CPU - rackspace's performance is way better than EC2. You should benchmark your scripts on both & then compare.
take a look at this one too - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation
its not about how fast it is or what all things are wrong in that. its about whatever is right in that - which indeed will be amazing for them.
When I face the same problem and when my head is full of all the noisy - "why is this thing not working, I think I did everything right" s
- I stroll around, walk a mile or two - have some coffee there at some store - look at the people there and think - 'what is running on their mind? Not a buggy code,I guess' - and then come back, stare at the screen and voila! there it is! An insignificant pesky ';' was missing!
So, yes, walk away from your computer. What you and your computer have is a relationship and you need to spend some time apart to realize what you're missing in there.And to get it to work. ;)
I so so digg your 'the more we learn, the less we know' dialogue.
About the 70's group, can you share the link to the article?
'Words' and 'Expressions' along with a meaningful message are the best ways to communicate yourself across to a room full of people. Some visual material is as much important but only 'useful' material.
Rather than wasting your time on thinking 'how to fill N number of slides', it will be a lot more useful if we know our material, practice our material and choose our words carefully. Practice how to engage audience, than trying to make awesome visuals to enchant them with your slide making skills.
Why 'three slide' rule?
Lets make it a 'one' slide rule! :)
I'll wait for 2-5 years for them to grow,and in the mean time the jetpack will become safer!
Seriously, chad, Congrats. :)
Help making the present language better, if you really want to!
Scaling up/down might be a bit of problem though. I'm not sure if this logic fits here:
You're shrinking down the tweets of the people who are more frequent,and vice-versa.The first time I used Shuu.sh I didn't notice much(my bad), but after a couple of time turning it on and off, I noticed what is happening.
Will it not make more sense to limit the 'number' of tweets shown based upon the frequency of the tweeter? And the number being decided based upon number or retweets of that tweet or something? Giving user an option of how many tweets from a person of specific frequency would he like to see or determining it on the basis of how many he is following and how many are following those who are being followed by this user.
Uggh.. I just realized, I made it sound more complex that it really is. Umm.. sorry for that ! :D
But there is a sense of giving back to the community that makes me feel bad everyday whenever I get to know new things from it, just because my contribution might not be significant enough.

@bittermang : true, going back is painful and networks & cable operators are probably aware of this. But, as wsj puts it - investors of netflix are scared that its expenditure on the content deals will overtake their revenue and with netflix threatening the existence of so many network companies, netflix soon has to create its own content OR devise an extraordinary plan to sustain the network grudges against it.
It will be interesting to see individual networks starting up their own streaming services.
Starting to program at the age of 6 is nice and good(if that is out of curiosity), but for me - I'd say - wait for sometime,do the things that you are supposed to do at that age, and when the time comes to be different, you'll know and follow it then. There is no point in bragging about when a person started to code.He might miss out on a lot of things as a child which might make him a different person and constrict his 'social' network. As a child spending more time in the programming world is not desirable, after all we all are programming towards making things work like humans would work, and we are missing out on the 'being human' part by programming in the time in which we are still growing as a human?
The market will be nonexistent is a conclusion overdrawn.Taking the statistical data and interpolating it might give us figures but it is really hard to believe that people's interest in saving money will be non-existent in four years.
What might happen ( what is happening presently) is there will be many more competitors in this market and it is very much unlikely that one competitor will be consistently able to secure all the good deals in the market.This might lead to market in which companies will thrive to get good deals with no significantly big success. In this very scenario, any company which will be able to successfully integrate the great deals from all the websites like groupon,living social etc can be very much successful without many efforts needed to be put in.
