However, there are several to choose from and performance is an important deciding factor. This article compares the performance of two of the most well-known projects, Cassandra and Voldemort, using several different mixes of access types, and compares both throughput and latency."

I think you're making a category error calling it nerd rage. Surely people with Apple kit aren't nerds. They dress nice. Have friends.
Want to create things USING the computer (such as home movies), rather than create things FOR the computer (such as programs).

Sure, they know about: facebook, ebay and all that other dross.
They can post on fora and have opinions (my that's a toughy),
but they don't care about the good stuff.

Apple slacks* having an opinion about computers is like me having an opinion about global warming.
I haven't seen the data, and I can't be bothered learning the theory.
Just ignore them.
They are no threat.
They are not nerds.

*As in slack jawed.

Wal-Mart Controls Modern Game Design? 696

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Tuesday April 11, 2006 @02:46PM from the telling-you-what-is-good dept.

An anonymous reader writes "That Wal-Mart smiley face is looking pretty evil now that Allen Varney has explained how much influence they have on virtually every modern game: 'Publisher sales reps inform Wal-Mart buyers of games in development; the games' subjects, titles, artwork and packaging are vetted and sometimes vetoed by Wal-Mart. If Wal-Mart tells a top-end publisher it won't carry a certain game, the publisher kills that game. In short, every triple-A game sold at retail in North America is managed start to finish, top to bottom, with the publisher's gaze fixed squarely on Wal-Mart, and no other.'"
