Great post!

Really? It's THAT bad?

OK, next interview I will use my SteadyCam.

Valid points...perhaps "distributed memory server"?

Yes and no. It depends on how easy it is to repopulate. If the date is write-through and hasn't been written to a persistent store, like activity date, then it's gone forever. If you're in a situation like a bank, talking to a mainframe, you may get charged for each hit to the backend and losing a cache could mean a chargeback.

Memcached is cool, but Velocity has some features like failover and regions that memcached doesn't. With memcached if you lose a node, it's gone. With Velocity your data is replicated.

Thanks! I'll pick one up now.

Have you tried downloading it from the Format's Tab? Where are you located (in the world?)

Funny you mentioned that. That was some feedback I gave them JUST yesterday. Great idea.

Sorry, it works here for me.

Try clicking on the "Formats" drop down. You can download 7 different other video formats directly. 

The finalists had, I think, a Tahoe II Development board.
