Mainframes were replaced by PCs scaled up to mainframe levels, the old mainframe lines died off. That will probably happen to some degree with mobile and PCs as well. Laptops in the future will be more like tablets with keyboards than like the laptops of today, for example. And desktop OSes may have as much heritage from mobile OSes today as from stock OS/X and Windows today.
It may be a local or even a global maxima for them, but I don't think it's inevitable, and I certainly don't think that it's a net positive for the country. I think they're creating huge negative externalities with their current mode of doing business. Regulation would be very tricky due to the whole freedom of speech, but maybe the Govt. could fund some higher quality competition to get the media focused on a less crappy MO.

It's really good to see some well engineered PHP software coming out.

For my projects I've moved out to Python after having dealt with legacy trash like Wordpress, Google's api libraries, over-engineered frameworks like ZF and lets just say the less said about Propel the better.

Code like this, Symfony 2, Doctrine 2, Lithium etc... are a breath of fresh air. Their obviously written by a group of talented devs and after cutting ties with legacy PHP versions < 5.3 the future of "modern" PHP is looking bright!
Good questions!

1) 20mb cap at the moment - typically ebooks are small though, <1mb. If I start running out of space on the machine I'll re-evaluate that - for reference, there's about 11gb used at the moment, with around 20k books total uploaded. Plenty of capacity left.

2) See 1.

3) Free while it's in beta. I only launched a week ago, so there's still a bunch of things that need to be done. And I'm not making money off it, but the total investment is a small AWS instance and a domain name, so I won't go hungry as a result of it quite yet :)

4) No. They're automatically sorted into public/private based on copyright status at the moment. Fairly high up on my TODO list is a "make this private" button for things that you upload.

5. It uses Calibre (well, ebook-convert, part of the Calibre suite) behind the scenes. So pretty much any document type should be able to be used. In practice because I use epub internally, you'll get the best results with that - and you won't have to wait for the conversion process when you upload.
I think what he means here is that even if one prove that P=NP, the result itself will have little to no consequences on our daily lives. That is, except if the proof is a constructive reduction from an NP-complete problem to a P problem, but that's highly unlikely. However, the proof itself would be very interesting, because it is likely to involve new technics that would surely be appliable somewhere else and help science in general solve other problems. Also having such a proof would certainly mean that the original question has been reformulated, for instance in something which correspond better to real life than the current, theoretical P vs NP separation. And that's of course also worthy in itself because it means we understand this problem, and surely some other more or less related problems, way better.

Right now, the only thing that comes is more wise than intelligent: silence is golden.

Seriously, though: relax a little bit. You are still reasonably new to the site and need to get a better grasp of the rules.

For instance, you were so quick to try to respond to me that you couldn't wait for the system's "cool-off" period between responses. If you waited some 10 minutes, you would see a "reply" link under my answer, instead of forcing a break in the thread.

Or better yet: if you had taken the cool-off time, perhaps you would be able to realize that this discussion of ours is pointless, and that this back-and-forth only creates more noise.

This will be my last message on the matter. I hope you already had yours as well.

5 Odd  Foods That Kills Abdominal Food?
Is COM In Resergence
I use R every day for my research (doing social simulations sometimes based on sample surveys). An additional R limitation is the memory limit. R cannot use virtual memory and the maximum amount of data is limited.

There are two ways to deal with that, one is to load datasets through SQL database (using a SQL library) which IMHO is a "dirty hack". The other (what I usually do) is to load the huge datasets in STATA (or any other stats package) and filter the data to get a set that is small enough to work with R.

Other than that, the available libraries in R are crazy good. for example stuff like Approximate Bayesian Computation or survey analysis (considering weight factors) is straightforward with available libraries.
[The Arab spring] was certainly not inspired by the invasion of Iraq (which this newspaper, wrongly certain that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction, strongly supported).

E-commerce Solutions – Things to Consider before Making the Hiring Decision
Do you think that ecommerce is really as easy as the people at the other end make it feel? Think again, consider all the things involved and you would be overwhelmed to judge that the picture of having ecommerce solution is too complex than it appears to be. You would argue that the recent time technology advancement and its use for ecommerce development have made ecommerce solutions more solid, reliable, cost effective and robust, but these in no way zero the complexities involved in delivering ecommerce solution.

> Ionizing radiation is the main cancer culprit and you can be sure the sun emits far more such radiation - mainly in the form of UV rays - than your cell phone. Which is at frequency levels below visible - mainly microwaves I think.

I thought you were mixing them up at first, but re-reading you did get it right. To clarify, in case anyone else got confused too:

UV is just above the visible spectrum in frequency.

Microwaves are below infrared, below visible.

(from Wikipedia) "Radiation on the short-wavelength [high frequency] end of the electromagnetic spectrum—high-frequency ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays—is ionizing, due to its composition of high-energy photons. Lower-energy radiation, such as visible light, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves, are not ionizing. The latter types of low-energy non-ionizing radiation may damage molecules, but the effect is generally indistinguishable from the effects of simple heating."

See here the EM spectrum for reference:

Mild deflation is the natural state of things - over time, most tasks should take less labor to accomplish because of improvements in technology and organization. Are we to prefer that a man who labors enough to buy four gallons of milk can only purchase a one if he chooses to do so 30 years later, even though the cost of producing milk in real terms (and indeed the price of milk in real terms) has decreased?

> one can't rule out cancer effects at other, non-ionizong frequencies through unknown mechanisms

Well, you can. That's the whole point.

You pose the hypothesis "unknown mechanisms in non-ionizing radiation cause cancer". Then you do the research, and then when you don't find the cancer effects, you rule out these "unknown mechanisms".

That's science.

> There's also effects of the heat given off by the phone heating your head, but I ignore that.

And so does everybody else, because heat doesn't cause cancer.

Additionally, the phone heats your head? Citation? And not just "well it's microwaves so it probably heats things around it by some billion-thousandth of a degree", but an actual citation of mobile phone radiation heating your head, preferably in a manner that is still somewhat significant when compared to the tiny temperature fluctuations caused by natural cell processes (as, you know, if a mitochondria generates more heat than a nearby phone, the point is probably moot, no?).
Those sites are fixed now. If you want to see the effect live, here is another one which still works:

Patent trolls are a symptom of the problem that the patent system misidentifies the risk involved in invention.

The concept is to mitigate the risk of innovating by adding reward. But the reward in the patent system is associated to the conceptualization of the idea which (mostly) carries no risk. The risk comes when you try to invest in that idea to bring it to market. So patent trolls can capture all the reward but not have any of the risk. The only way to solve this is to limit the reward to match the risk: a patent owner should only be entitled to damages that are directly comparable to the revenue they themselves are making from the same invention in the same market. If a patent troll is doing nothing with an invention then it should fall into the public domain.
It's certainly possible to develop with less than top quality tools, but when a developer costs $100k-$200k/yr (loaded cost), spending $10-20k on tools vs. $0-2k is pretty reasonable, if it either provides a bump in performance (and I believe it does), or just makes the developer happier.

If you go on-site with clients, it's pretty sketchy to have a taped together Gateway 2000 vs. a MacBook Pro/Air, too.

I'd be concerned if I took my car to a mechanic who was using chinese crap tools, or went to a doctor with duct tape holding every piece of equipment together.

Probably one of the better things to spend money on is having entire spare hardware lying around in case someone's laptop is stolen or fails.

But the quotes don't really work any more, since ages. Not right, anyway. See I search for `"death coffee"` and I get this:

1st hit: Coffee Drinkers Have Slightly Lower Death Rates, Study Finds

2nd hit: Stieg Larsson's Death: Coffee Or Conspiracy?

The first one doesn't even have the phrase "death coffee" in the page! And in the second one it's split up with a colon in between (technically correct, but not a single phrase).

And only after that, come the expected results, where "death" is a modifier of "coffee" (coffee was so strong we called it "death coffee"), which is what you'd expect when you put a phrase in quotes, no?

Results I'm sure the old Google of a few years back would have presented me as first hits, too.

Addition, reading a bit further down this discussion, someone mentioned the `allintext:` operator. This works, it actually returns only pages with the phrase "death coffee":

https://www.google.com/search?q=allintext:%22death+coffee%22

Ok Stieg Larsson is still the first hit, but as I said, it's technically correct. And now so are the rest of the results :D

BTW, to whoever made that Finderr.com page: It doesn't work quite correctly, if you search for `"death coffee"` it doubles the quotes. You probably need to re-think your query regex. Maybe you could modify it so that it includes the `allintext:` operator when you search for an exact phrase?
