What Makes a Programming Language Successful?

danielstoner writes "The article '13 reasons why Ruby, Python and the gang will push Java to die... of old age' makes an interesting analysis of the programming languages battling for a place in programmers' minds.

MediaDefender Makes Both Legal and Illegal Downloads Available - Approaching the piracy issue from both ends makes things confusing

MediaDefender is an anti-piracy business that is known primarily because it’s hired by organizations like RIAA and MPAA to put illegal downloads online in order to trap people who are engaged in illegal filesharing. However, that’s not all that MediaDefender is about. They’re also in the business of offering legal P2P downloads. They’ve done this for awhile (they paired up with Sprint and Atlantic Records last year to offer branded P2P song downloads) but they appear to be getting more aggressive in moving forward with this part of the business. Perhaps that’s because their recent efforts at anti-piracy have taken down legitimate sites and placed them in a lot of hot water. Still, you have to wonder, how is a user supposed to know if a file placed online by MediaDefender is legal or illegal to download?

Bizarre bacteria makes home inside Greenlands ice sheet

A team of Penn State Univ. scientists has discovered a new ultra-small species of bacteria that has survived for more than 120,000 years within the ice of a Greenland glacier at a depth of nearly two miles. The microorganism's ability to persist in this low-temperature, high-pressure, reduced-oxygen and nutrient-poor habitat makes it particularly useful for studying how life, in general, can survive in a variety of extreme environments on Earth and possibly elsewhere in the solar system.

The GMC Van Makes a Comeback on eBay, Baby

Some of my best childhood memories are napping-away in the back bed-seat of our old van. But this four-axle GMC is going to make me need some therapy. Because aside from stylish oak kitchen cabinets and a comfortable La-Z-Boy recliner, the van makes room for a sauna (and they don't just mean that the A/C doesn't work...from what we can tell). Sure, that solar-powered Prius will get you slightly better MPG, but legroom's gotta count for something. And in this case, your legroom can be in a voluntarily sweaty, hellish environment.
