The domain has been registered 5 years back, so I don't have any hope to get it cheap. Besides, I'm still going through idea validation and as such don't want to spend any additional money on the project that might not fly or will change direction

But do Google treat country level domains specifically, it gives them a boost when a local search is performed, but lows them in the global search context?

I'm building a commercial product, so .org isn't a good fit here. And .net to my understanding has been greatly abused and doesn't relate to anything specific at all. It might be not that bad for a hobby but in my case the product targets enterprise users.

Exactly. It's the same as telling to a blind person about the shades of colours. Only in our case I'm blind too and simply dreaming up that what we touch isn't all there is.

I tend to think it's true. With the exception of when business means something bigger, ie when it actually has been defined by moral principles, like wikipedia, which more of a charity than business anyway.

As they say "in business there is no morality"

ADD: sure it's unpleasant, so let's just downvote and stay happy.

If I start talking about traffic jams in big cities and do so for a long while without giving the whole picture, then everybody will think that's just how big cities operate.

If you come to Mars and you manage to grab one animal's ear without the rest of body, you hope to clone the whole animal?

God is something outside (and can be inside at the same moment) the Universe, meaning that it is something we cannot grasp. If we cannot grasp how God operates then whatever we look at is just an observation of a single event, however long we look at it. So whatever time we perceive within our Universe it may be just a single very short moment to God. Hence evolution isn't really how we interpret it - it can be completely possible that how God creates us we perceive as evolution.

What I'm saying is evolution as we see it is part of a bigger picture, and the Universe can be part of something bigger. You trying to describe the elephant just looking at it's ear.

If it wasn't God who created the Universe than who did? It created itself somewhere? That's where any rational mind should stop shouldn't it?

We perceive the things in some way, which doesn't mean it is the right way or the only way.

In the new Metro UI you cannot run traditional desktop apps - these that use Windows API - and there are loads of them around already. So keeping the old UI system in parallel is the only viable option to get Metro slowly adapted.

You can engineer at least the first two ... and then luck usually shows up

How it compares to VoltDB, which used similar approach and already "combines the proven power of relational processing with blazing speed, linear scalability and uncompromising fault tolerance" (according to VoldDB website) ?

Isn't it like the recruiters are just bloody businessmen? They will snatch your (contractors) portion too if they can, and they can. So they suck money from both parties.

It's a shame really that the employer and contractor don't negotiate directly.

You can turn up a quick buck sure. I've done that: shareware and websites. But how about long term product development? Not so easy. Maybe it's better to secure your place on the consulting market where the money are real because of all crazy stuff going on inside the big corps. I still don't know.

If this scheme takes up then domain names like mint.com which are currently make sense solely because they are short and easy, will have no way of sounding great for a financial webapp.

Many websites will have to revise their names.

The wording doesn't work for me. Say, I own 2 homes and I want to sell 1 to pay debt. I understand that this is my future home and I won't get the other one back. Especially if the places are in different countries. Do I get scared? If not, can I stay focused?

They go overboard with this 'go bankrupt' argument to scare themselves to fight. It is the same as if the surgeons would start thinking 'Oh God, this patient is gonna die if I make a mistake' all the time. I don't see how this can help the patients.

>> If you’re not scared, you’re not focused

I think it's a faulty claim. Doesn't work like this in many fields: science, martial arts, medicine (particularly neurosurgery), etc.

The whole agile methodology is so abused nowadays that old waterfall approach looks like kidding in comparison.

In London too

First of all: why airplane toilets called bathrooms?

The best concise system to avoid having these 5 regrets I've heard of is 'SSS' : sport, sex, sleep. Everything else is optional.

>> The only way not to regret anything is never dream and be happy with whatever hits you and with whatever comes out of your efforts. <<

It is also non-accidentally the only way to live for a religious person. The thought that you can regret anything does not bring you closer to the heaven. God gives God takes - you just keep the books.

What web server you're running on? I've had very bad experience with xsp

IndexTank had one appealing option: it allowed to change associated statistics, like number of votes, without re-indexing the document. It also allowed to dynamically use ranking functions.

Also, other solutions allow indexing in different languages, I can't find this in the CloudSearch.

This has actually went into a wrong place; should be an answer to the question about facets.

From the article: Amazon CloudSearch has a number of advanced search capabilities including faceting and fielded search
