In the case of a Hadoop task failure, the errant monkey was genetically cloned but put into a different environment. So it also served as a nature vs. nurture experiment.

Yup, I realize that going to Atom or ARM for a CPU bound process is suicide, but so is only using the tiny amount of money to try and solve the problem.
This is absolutely correct and if I had mod points, I'd spend them here.
If your budget is only £4000, you don't have the funding to build a real, actual grid for something that is CPU bound. If you are lucky, you have enough to get one or two boxes and some network gear to put on the top of someone's desk.... at least if you are doing AMD or Intel higher end procs.
Here are two ideas worth exploring...
1) Look at boxes like SeaMicro and other Atom-based mini-grids-in-a-box.
2) Look at building your own with Atom- and Arm- based machines
Yes, but I don't think Yahoo! is adding any more universities to it. In fact, I don't think it ever expanded beyond CMU.
ObDisclosure: I was on the ops-side of that project for Yahoo!.
Harmony is an effort that was begun and shepherded by Amanda Brock"
To some of us, Harmony is the name of Apache's Java implementation. Sort of surprising that this naming clash wasn't considered given the context. Heck, TFA even mentions Apache HTTPD.
Even if the schedule is "Tuesday-9am: Give trach to Mrs. Lattimer"?
Someone is watching all of the complete episodes in order. As someone who has watched almost all of the remaining episodes (in fact, I started watching Troughton's War Games episode for the 3rd time last night), it is fascinating hearing an outsider's perspective of some of the episodes.
I tend to agree with most of what has been said here. For Classic, start with Baker and work your way up. Even though I still think most of Pertwee, Troughton and Hartnell is great to watch, there are a lot of slow episodes in those first three Doctors that you likely won't survive.
For modern, start with Eccleston (altho he wasn't my favorite) if only because there is a lot of background provided that you'll need for the rest of the (new) series.
Do parents have the right to know which of their kids' teachers are the most and least effective? That's the controversy roaring in California this week with the publication of an investigative series by the Los Angeles Times's Jason Song and Jason Felch, who used seven years of math and English test data to publicly identify the best and the worst third- to fifth-grade teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The newspaper's announcement of its plans to release data later this month on all 6,000 of the city's elementary-school teachers has prompted the local teachers' union to rally members to organize a boycott of the newspaper.
According to the linked Times article, United Teachers Los Angeles president A.J. Duffy said the database was "an irresponsible, offensive intrusion into your professional life that will do nothing to improve student learning."
If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.
