True, but the Net Income numbers ($3.8 billion from GM Financial, $9.9 billion at all of GM) are a lot closer. Looks like 38% of GM Net Income is earned by GM Financial?

To be fair, though, this webapp emulates the look & feel of Windows 95 (or greater), which was released in August 1995. Windows 3.1(1) (and NT 3.1 as of July 1993) were the current versions of Windows in 1993; each had far less polished effects: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_3.1x for screenshot. :)

Interesting advertizing industry trend based analysis of Google's and Facebook's financials of late and some future projections - quite informative.
Re:Python 3 is killing Python

Decent read - it further helped me appreciate the position from which Python 2 devs require certain non-trivial, non-ported libs are coming.
That said, as a mostly Python 3 developer, PEP 404, to which he links, provides much insight and justification for ending at 2.7. In brief, the changes all seem to me to be efforts to make Python more 'Pythonic' (i.e. TOOWTDI).

Nice response. As for ultimate limits, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bekenstein_bound. Of course, this bound doesn't really give bits per quark/particle limits - just an overall limit based on the spherical radius of the information-storing system.

Sadly, Eclipse Indigo is only downloadable by 'Friends of Eclipse' at present.

Agreed. Poorly paraphrasing a line I read somewhere: "Software is like a fish: once it stops moving it dies."

Thanks for naming the idea. For those wondering what the Seinfeld technique is but who are too lazy to Google at the moment: http://www.nevblog.com/motivations-the-seinfeld-calendar/.
Re:I just need a programmer

You need a templating + biz logic language, and a database. The usual starters for non-purists are PHP and MySQL. Also, most front-ends use JavaScript these days, often with a helper JavaScript library like JQuery.
Myself, I'm more of a Python (language) + PostgreSQL (database) person, but they may take a little longer to get up to speed with.
