The "new" method has the problem of immediately favoring the first design to get a positive response.
Only if you're stupid enough to only show the design with the highest score. Something as simple as choosing randomly among the top
Seems like a front-end serving statically cached content is a great match for Virtualization. DB servers and search servers (Solr, etc) aren't a good match imho, unless you have a very well implemented sharding/horizontal scaling solution. If you pre-generate your content, we've typically used hard boxes for those as well, but you may benefit from virtualizing those if you want to easily scale horizontally (assuming you have the hypervisor overhead).
Is it in God's interests to just sit and wait until [Armageddon]?
The Bible portrays Jehovah God as infinitely just and patient. The Adversary has been exploiting these qualities to make God give him a fair chance to run the world under his leadership. God already knows that Satan's system will fail; he just needs to show everyone else. Yes, it'll fail within a spirit creature's lifespan, which is far longer than a human's, especially post flood. This means humans will be collateral damage in this conflict, but God recognizes this and has provided for a resurrection through his son Jesus M. Christ.
scientists are not trying to deceive everyone (well, most of them)
Yes, some scientists are examining this world in good faith to learn the underlying rules governing its operation, but others are just seeking moar grant money by breaking things up into LPUs.
I try to make really major purchases as close to me as possible for a variety of reasons which have been discussed by a variety of people ad nauseam but which mostly boil down in the end to being able to walk into a store and shake my fist at someone if I am dissatisfied.
Do you make a point to avoid buying multi-hundred-dollar products that are sold only online? For example, would you avoid buying a Pandora, Archos 43, Nokia N810/N900, or other pocket computer solely because it isn't sold in any brick-and-mortar store near you?
what's stopping you from collecting money via Paypal
For one thing, others in my family prefer to pay me with payment methods other than PayPal, as does my employer.
then spending it again?
Nothing because I applied for a PayPal debit card accepted where major credit cards are accepted.
Does he really use the word "beater"?
I'm not familiar enough with Dave Ramsey's show to know what terminology he uses, but it's evident from Google dave ramsey beater that fans of his Total Money Makeover program do use the term "beater".
Yes, you need some guidance [...] Usually the difference is obvious to any vaguely trained eye but you can't blame people for not knowing about cars any more than you can blame them for not knowing about anything else, where do you draw the line?
I agree with you that first time car buyers especially need guidance.
One's parents are supposed to help them out
And sometimes they aren't willing to. Say someone went to school for a career in a given field, but his parents are intent on making sure that his job is in their home state, and there are no good jobs in this field in his parents' home state. This is the scenario that I've been trying to reason through with Slashdot user CronoCloud over the past several months.
I bought a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville for $2400 cash (taxes & registration included), I've barely had to put anything in to it. I had to save for a couple of months to get it
What did you drive while looking for a job and while saving for a couple of months?
The only disappointment with the entire deal is the bank would only give me $100's, because apparently bigger bills are only for drug dealers
$100 is the highest denomination of Federal Reserve Note that has been printed as long as I've been alive.
The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.
