Yes, the growth in the webspace can be partly attributable to programming being more stable, more accessible to beginners. Do you think the hard part of any programming/engineering project is learning a new language?

How slow is "slow" for you right now? And writes vs. read? Which MySql storage engine are you using?

Good read: this story has nothing to do with programming but everything to do with overcoming the loss of extrinsic rewards and putting yourself somewhere where your mindset and personality fits best

We have to ask ourselves: where is the money? Our rights aren't being lost to a sprawling military-police state just because there's a Big-Brother wannabe conspiring to destroy the constitution. Police departments grow the same way our project departments grow in engineering companies: by managers arguing for bigger budgets and spending more, sometimes wastefully, to justify bigger budgets come next fiscal year.

These hyped-up (sometimes roided-up) SWAT teams do what they do to justify their existence....no manager wants to preside over a shrinking department. It takes a lot of thinking and long-term policy making to reduce this perverse yet basic economic incentive

The page looks nice and you have a clear flow and call to action...but the copy could use tightening up all around. For example, the subhead:

> New, exciting way of doing online courses

Sounds like it's missing an article: "A new, exciting way of doing online courses"

And is "doing" the right word? Maybe the verb should be: "taking" or change the sentence structure from "of doing" to "to take"

There's a lot of little grammar and style things that should be polished...IMO it's a big factor in an online education's first impression

The U.S. and Russia are still large strategic and economic partners. There's other political balls being juggled around, like the ongoing conflict in Syria. It's not necessarily "leverage"

This has little to do with Google+ itself and more to do with Google becoming ubiquitous and + riding along

The upside is that a poor product with an entrenched position does not automatically win just because its backers could afford polished design
