Project Voldemort Blog : Building a terabyte-scale data cycle at LinkedIn with Hadoop and Project Voldemort - http://project-voldemort.com/blog...
Incredibly detailed and insightful post on LinkedIn's web-scale engineering challenges and solutions, one of which happens to be Voldemort (also discussed at length are Hadoop, memcache, MySQL, and some custom Java tool that LinkedIn has developed).

I am the King of Mechanical Turk right now - @peteskomoroch at #datastimulus09
Big Data + metered, cloud computing = renaissance of algorithms. (10x efficient algorithms are 1/10th costly).
Amazon's EC2 has a new zone, us-west-1, available as of tonite; big news if you care about network latencies.
I've always felt every 404 page ought to include poetry... poets have such wonderful ways of saying "you're lost"
404: And we are here as on a darkling plain / Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight / Where ignorant armies clash by night.
@mrflip @peteskomoroch OK - but surely @timoreilly's gov 2.0 vision isn't FTP & tar.gz :) I propose a debate over cold beer in Austin or SF!
NVIDIA's Linux Display Driver Archive - http://www.nvidia.com/object...
When none of the packaged solutions for getting your NVIDIA display up are working, this is the authoritative source. A separate page exists for x64 drivers.

Hardy NVIDIA module failed to load - Ubuntu Forums - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthr...
kabronkline's comment in this thread is what finally worked for me in getting my GEForce 6150 graphics card working with Ubuntu Intrepid. For the NVIDIA installer to work, I had to (i) remove the existing grub menu file 'sudo rm /boot/grub/menu.lst' (ii) recreate it with 'sudo update-grub'. (When I did an upgrade, kernel was upgraded, but grub boot menu was not). Before doing this the kernel headers did not much the running kernel, and the NVIDIA installer couldn't compile from source.

@tlipcon Best intro to ggplot2 graphics is @hadleywickham's ch.2 http://had.co.nz/ggplot2... - code available on same site.
@peteskomoroch :) I'll give you: data.gov dumps & archives fit the 'if you're not embarrassed by your launch, you launched too late' mantra!
My two cents on .gov data initiatives: Focus on (i) data feeds, not data dumps (ii) data applications, not data archives
