    Do you realize that light only moves 30 centimeters in a nanosecond? How in hell are you supposed to get anywhere at that speed?

    If you follow the link to Damn You, Speed Of Light it says: "I'm testing a new application I've developed at my day job, which takes key parts of the load off our old application. ("Old" in social network / Web 2.x terms, i.e. more than three months.) I've optimised the hell out of the new system, and it's really efficient, on both the small and large scale of things. It can handle 100,000 simultaneous users, and it responds to user requests in under 100 microseconds. But the development server is in Dallas, and I'm in Sydney, so it still feels slow."

Obama ends frenetic vacation - 0 views

  • On Wednesday, the president will head off to his official Camp David retreat in Maryland for a four-day break -- seeking the quiet that evaded him in the millionaires playground on the US east coast. "He is looking to get a break from his vacation," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said. "I don't think you can replicate such a terrific place as Martha's Vineyard, but I do think that he's looking to get some more rest and relaxation when he goes up there," Burton said. The Camp David trip, over the Labor Day weekend, had been tentatively planned before Obama headed on vacation.

    Obama: Trapped in the Dimension of the Presidency ... Can't even take a vacation & relax properly from it. And he really does need a vacation, the Presidency will wear anyone & everyone out. No one can handle such a stressfull job.

    I posted my thoughts on Obama needing a vacation: I like how the talk by Azides ends, the goal of a Prime Minister or a President is to buld "Mutual Trust & Respect" in a country. May Obama succeed in this, this is why the American people got excited in him from his 1994 speech at the Democratic convention, and a lot of what he ran his campaign for President on. This is why America trusted him with the Presidency … I hope he returns to this theme of his & starts to govern that way. Hopefully a vacation can give him the perspective he needs.

    Unfortunately when you follow this discussion through, the link to http://www.bretagdesigns.com/technologist/?p=531 does not work ... So can't see the original article the discussion is about, oh well.

    Try to do a google search on 'site:www.bretagdesigns.com zotero' doesn't work either --- so the original article has been lost in the ether
