If I was writing one I'd just be logging posted form fields with a transparent proxy, almost seems easier than a key logger.

If you want to get into root cause analysis, it sounds like the incorrect radar setting got them in the situation in the first place. Obviously the way the pilots dealt with that situation from then on was suboptimal, but avoiding situations where there is a chance for bad decision making is also important.

If you can't remember merge sort, quick sort or heaps, a easy starting point is wikipedia, and then code them up in your language of choice. It shouldn't take long, and you'll learn it better by doing than by reading about it.

Is it worth having service contracts if you have thousands of machines? I would have thought it's analogous to car hire companies not having insurance on their cars (because with enough cars the distribution of accident costs evens out)

If you read the article you'll see it's talking about exchanges, not those trading with them.

given how prone people are to mis-hearing song lyrics, the corpus isn't the full text of all published song lyrics as you suggest.

    Why are patents transferable beyond the original creator?

This allows the creator to benefit in the case they can't personally exploit their work. If I invent some CPU fabrication process, I won't have the capital to invest to realize it and benefit - but maybe I can sell it to someone who can, which means the invention is actually used, and also I get some benefit.

    why wouldn't a patent become public domain once the creator dies

What if the patent is a joint creation, or created while working for a company, i.e. the company owns it?

Is interactive brokers actually fast enough? Or do you really need colocation? (for these types of strategy)

Assuming the government is still going to fund a TV station, not having a license for BBC would just mean it was funded out of general taxation revenue. Having a license system or not is irrelevant, it's still being funded by taxation either ay.

The issue they have doesn't seem to be scaling, in that RoR is scaling linearly. But if you have hundreds of machines, raw performance saves real money, which means RoR is maybe not ideal for massive deployments and the JVM languages give you more performance on the same hardware. Though unless you're working on a top 50 site I wouldn't worry so much.

Do you have to offer migration initially? I don't think it's something that every service has launched with. And there's a steady stream of new email users every year.

A few non-techy people have asked me if there are email services that don't read your email for contextual ads, and they would be willing to pay. So I think there's a market there, albeit a smaller one that the free email provider one.

Actually the domain you own is almost certainly firstname.lastname.name, but the email is setup so [email protected] works. It's particular to the .name TLD.

what constitutes default will be pretty clearly defined in the contract - which is more in terms of credit "events" rather than just default. See for example the ISDA definitions: http://credit-deriv.com/isdadefinitions.htm

I don't think you're supposed to get fit, the benefit is more that it stops you sitting in your chair for 8 hours straight.

I'm surprised you have to go via recruiters? I would have thought you have enough of a name that you would get applications (if you made enough noise about hiring). Maybe having a tweet or blog post in the last 6 months saying you're hiring might be cheaper than 25% :)
