Comment on Republican rage explained? by Peter

Somehow I think many, if not most of those people would hold the same rethoric against a republican president, if he were in office.

Maybe what brings such emotions is the fact that now it is more visible then ever, that the USA are not “the biggest and the best” anymore?

Comment on Can we please stop calling it “software engineering”? by Oli

Thanks for the fdebeack. I agree Scala is an interesting language that is gaining momentum. The Scala track at Jfokus was pretty packed. I guess I don't know it well enough to truly appreciate it. Groovy gives me immediate fixes to the little things that annoy me about Java (excessive non-optional boilerplate code, required exception handling, poor language support for collections & arrays, etc.). So that's where I'll start. But I'll keep a close eye on Scala in the future.

Everyone’s tweets are in the public domain. There are numerous ways to analyze this and other social media. Twitter itself publishes an API. There are companies like InfoChimps that have created a business model around analysis of social media – a lot is happening in the “big data” space !

I like your ratings! I wonder how different age groups would perceive those ratings differently.
