How was the set of "white-list web2.0 related sites" chosen?
I am the only one who has never heard of hoovers before?
this is a terrible article. It goes out to discuss how it isn't at all similar, but never bother to quote pricing from the mainstream providers, but we are asked to just take it on faith... I mean the points could be valid, but for gods sake give me some data to backup your wild claims.
I recall doing this with a bunch of horrible regexs a few years ago when I needed something pretty quickly. Let me know what you find.
bans on alcohol but allowed to import it?
Why not just put a tax on it? Seems like it would have the same affect. Unless someones cousin works flying the alcohol in.

I'm finishing up my undergrad and probably heading to the west coast to work, but I still want to pursue a masters.
Right now it looks like I'll be in seattle, so uwashington seemed like a fairly obvious choice, but the curriculum seemed a little lacking. Are there any good distance/part-time C.S. masters programs?
TN visas are interesting times since for Canadians they are issued at the port of entry. Because of this some places are better for people to enter than others. Ask your Canuck friends if you plan to bring people down using this method.
Do they charge users the "premium" SMS rates for those short codes?

Who cares if a user is contributing to the discussion by comments if the articles they submit contribute to the discussion?
the blog seems a little light on details, have they discovered the root cause?
Monetization finally comes to the Facebook application platform with the new Wishlist application. Powered by Amazon's e-Commerce API, it enables users to share their gift desires on Facebook. By leveraging the social aspects of facebook and its increasing popularity as a place to plan events, the application hopes to capture some of the important wedding registry & wish list revenue.

scriptlance and other similar sites are essentially reverse auctions.
So in your case doing Olymp* is actually not too difficult (thats just stemming) but doing actual regex matching accross the internets would be hard sauce. One of the traditional ways of storeing an index like this is word -> {documents}. Doing a search for a set of words is then not too expensive, however for full regex support they would have to look at every word entry. Thats just sadpanda to the max.

I need to store a seperate NB classifier for each user (to tfc count). The operations will be read heavy, but I need to continue to do reads during a write (eventual consistency is perfectly acceptable). Eventually I might want to make it distributed. Is something like CouchDB the correct answer?
suggestions greatly appreciated
lisp? you mean arc good sir.
I'm not sure how effective a bayesian filter would be at classifying news stories as interesting/non-interesting though. Has anyone tried this?
I can't beleive its so complicated to integrate your tests into cabal. Almost every other build system makes it trivial.
wow thats crazy sauce. Is there a way to turn that off?
I'd be most interested to know. Also, if it works on T-Mobile does that mean it would work on Tuyo mobile?
What about the OpenMoko?
I mean you might not have nearly as large an user base, but shiney? :)

I have 3 use cases for a simple web app.
1)have people create accounts
2)login and change settings
3)as well as have people (without accounts) come and verify data.
Because of what I'm doing I'd like to integrate with an existing captcha system (a-la recaptcha).
Being lazy, I'd like to write the least amount of code, what webframework would you guys use?

How do you promote your resume/blog?
this isn't new and its really annoying. I'm assuming it has to do with keeping the session state on the server side, but for something likes this whats the harm on storing the continuation on the client side?
