otherwise - in which the affected company was primarily IT based or the

It's a fairly standard list, although you'll often see people being forced
to use IE6. Some of these restrictions need to be relaxed for developers,
and they usually are in my experience.
My favourite restriction was one corporate that had blocked the use of the
right-mouse button. Beat that!

Robert you might have said that as a joke but all the startups I have
been part of were 100% Mac for developers.

Just a joke.
I doubt any big companies, other than Apple, are using Macs for development.
Some companies I have worked for don't care what you use. If you use a Mac
though, you are completely on your own but I fail to see that as a
deterrent.

Cassandra - the non SQL distributed database.
Recently twitter spoke about how they switched onto it (from heavily
sharded MySQL). Note that it originated at facebook. So we have 2 of
the biggest (and probably most important) social network platforms of
our times depending on it now, and it is wri
In Akka (www.akkasource.org) we have a Cassandra backend for our persistence
API as well as a DSLish Scala coating over the Thrift Java interface.
(supporting connection pooling etc)

All in all Cassandra is an interesting product with impressive capabilities
We're evaluating Cassandra too. However, the requirement to manually
keep the "schema" in sync across nodes, seems like a big issue:

Not so in practice?

yeah that did strike me as an unfortunate limitation that is at ods
with other "noSQL" products. Looks like it is being worked on. No idea
on the practice, would love to hear more.

I'm really not trying to troll, but...
Less ability to fix your own problem (jdk 1.6) on a mac than on Linux

Ha! Apologies to all for not even seeing this until just now... I
have been a busy boy. This would be a lot of fun indeed - and a lot
of work to produce! I haven't met Amy - but from a cursory glance at
her website, it is clear we'd have a lot to talk about!
