When you essentially don't try to defend yourself but instead insult and berate the court and opposing council in the legal documents you submit to the court you open up a very lar…

http://www.citmedialaw.org/sites/citmedialaw.org/files/2011-... reads as if they asked you to remove the article and apologize and you rejected the proposal.

By representing herself and appearing largely ignorant to the law she not only lost the case but essentially made it so that the judge could rule no other way. Ignoring the sensati…

It's not from a dc to the speedtest node; its from the campus. It wouldn't matter anyway. I work at Cisco and I have gigabit link to the core from my laptop. Problem is the speedte…

knowing the old cisco that's very doubtful, but maybe this new "we have to do a whole lot very fast or we're screwed" cisco will handle it as one would expect.

Pure Digital CEO Jonathan Kaplan left cisco over two months ago.

Part of my job is working on a in-kernel key/value store for a data center network operating system. The problem it is the context switching between user and kernel space kills you…

The spike probably had a lot to do with the release of Tron: Legacy on December 17 who had a character named Quorra which could easily be misspelled as Quora. The trend for Quorra …

They are very interesting but in practice often preform poorly due to the cpu not being able to figure out what to cache.

Dont have immediate access to the paper. I agree it is a hurdle to overcome, but I don't really know how many startups ultimately don't get started or fail because of it especially…

I'd be surprised. The heuristics type facebook engineering puzzles are more long term type puzzles. These multi-problem fixed time competitions like codejam, icpc, and even top cod…

Being a good athlete is only part of what he did. He also created a brand around himself becoming far and away the most marketed sports figure in history that generated billions of…

F# is used in quite a number of firms, especially in the Chicago area I am aware of a handful of companies. Initially it was used just for prototyping/modeling type stuff, but more…

At the same time though, you're saying you failed solely because you used HBase? Sure twitter's architecture evolved out of necessity but starting out with some NoSQL solution does…

It will be interesting to see what comes of these grants. I feel that the companies that were successful when their founders dropped out of school were driven by a founder who beli…

Google's birthday, I am assuming. Although they tend to flipflop between the 7th and 27th.

This sounds like he is the kind of guy who in less than a year will be writing about how he wished he owned one and will be first in line for the next revision later blogging about…

I don't think those are the problems that led to the "failure" of podcasts and companies like odeo. Sure they are nice problems to solve, but they don't fix the real issue.

Even if the people who actually become billionaires are small those who attempt and fail are often better off than they started. The middle ground between ones current status in li…

They are not obligated to reply to you in any way. While the registrar can technically cancel the registration because of an invalid email addr, I don't know of a single registrar …

A follow up article with a more in depth technical component would be nice to see as well. ;)
