losing some respect for stanford's vaunted CS program here...this is devry territory. i would expect material for a stanford degree to be a bit more rigorous than regurgitating the recommendations of yslow.
you better hope the world doesn't advance to g8 levels of consumption, because if they do, the amount of co2 they will deposit into the atmosphere will dramatically alter the biosphere, and not for the better
we all understand that green technology may address pollution, but you won't find much of it in the developing world...they're the ones buying american coal
while i suspect you are passing this on a a whimsical reference to an apparently-ridiculous cassandra from the past, ancient peoples did not have modern technologies for processing and preserving food and energy. one mean season or prolonged drought could have serious consequences for large swaths of the population. look throughout history and you'll see starvation and food shortages even when the natural capacity of the biosphere would normally support much larger populations
tertullian was likely responding to the inability of the near italian countryside to support the booming roman population when conditions weren't optimal...not all ancient people were idiots
excellent synopsis. i agree with the author - i'd love it if haskell "took over", but after waiting a few years already for a larger mass to crawl up the learning curve, i'm jumping on the go bandwagon in search of stronger network effects
these pages aren't your "identity", hasn't years of facebook abuse taught people anything? these pages exist to tune an ad matching algorithm. hel-lo, this is what google does even better than facebook. your freedom to expand or contract your profile will be consistent with google's ad targeting agenda. people who want a free-form digital identity should get their own domain and move on. i know we're in a honeymoon here where google can do no wrong, but randall is just showing himself up here as a second rate thinker...the real answer to owning your identity is to not equate it with a database row
it is worth noting that since you are trolling a bit, that the changes evident between python 2 and 3 are only about as significant as those from perl5.12 to perl5.14
