My goal here was to learn how Lisp works at a really low level. I'm planning to add the features you would expect from a Lisp (e.g. macros) very soon.

I have a couple suggestions for your landing page:

* The current overall payload is 382.1K. You could significantly reduce this and speed up the load time if you enable gzip compression on your web server. Seems like you're running this on IIS 6.0--there is a configuration option for HTTP compression buried somewhere in the submenus, I believe.

* The rounded corners have a white background, whereas the page background at the top is gray. This causes the top corners to have a very visible rectangular edge. The IE-6 friendly way to fix this is to change the background color for the top corners to match the background color of the top of the page. If you don't care about IE 6, you can simply give them transparent backgrounds.

Good luck!

We're currently hacking a lot of cutting-edge technology like Node.js and Redis to scale the site up, and we're looking for some really talented engineers to help us out.

Based in San Francisco.

    Option 1:
        1) Open youtube.com.
        2) Create a youtube account (First time only).
        3) Post video to Youtube.
        4) Open twitter.com, or a Twitter client.
        5) Post a tweet with the Youtube link.

    Option 2:
       1) Open vidly.com (or client?).
       2) Post video and tweet to Twitter.

Imagine you're catering an event, and you need to make 500 identical sandwiches. Now, the usual approach is to get out the bread slices, lettuce, tomatoes, turkey, etc and set to work constructing each sandwich by hand. And what if the client suddenly tells you they need 1,000 sandwiches? Your work doubles!

But what if you do this instead: build a machine where you press a button and it creates one perfect sandwich, exactly to specification. Then even if you have an event that calls for 1,000, 100,000, or 1,000,000 or more sandwhiches, your work doesn't really increase. You just keep pressing a button, and any number of sandwiches pop out of the machine, exactly to specification.

In this case, the machine is the program. More accurately, the machine is the CPU and its instructions for creating a sandwich are the program, but you will lose people going to this level of detail. And the sandwiches are the output.

Arrington might fail here, but you have to give the guy a lot of credit for how he has moved forward on this thing.

Maybe there's an opportunity for a startup here?

Can one of the security gurus here explain this in a bit more detail? I'm guessing he would base this on an average over a sample of response times with the same input. Otherwise, how would he account for other things happening on the server that could affect the timing for a single request?
