Of course the answer is “it depends”, but that’s not very helpful. Let me ask you a few questions to help you figure out which technology is appropriate to your particular application. Then I can give a few pointers so that you can find out more.

Monkeys Display Verbal Skills: Discovery News
dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/07/07/monkeys-verbal-skills.html, posted 2009 by peter in language msm science toread
Monkeys first became familiar with a certain pattern, such as "shoy-bi." During the test, the researchers would then suddenly vary that to "bi-shoy," turning what was once a suffix into a prefix. When this happened, the monkeys would turn their heads toward the individual playing back the recordings, a response previously determined to indicate their acknowledgement that the familiar sound ordering pattern had been violated.

Don't Let Hibernate Steal Your Identity - O'Reilly Media
www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2006/09/13/dont-let-hibernate-steal-your-identity.html, posted 2009 by peter in development java sql storage toread
Object identity is deceptively hard to implement correctly when objects are persisted to a database. However, the problems stem entirely from allowing objects to exist without an id before they are saved. We can solve these problems by taking the responsibility of assigning object IDs away from object-relational mapping frameworks such as Hibernate. Instead, object IDs can be assigned as soon as the object is instantiated. This makes object identity simple and error-free, and reduces the amount of code needed in the domain model.

Does the 'hacker ethic' help or harm today's developers? | Developer World - InfoWorld
infoworld.com/d/developer-world/does-hacker-ethic-help-or-harm-todays-developers-169, posted 2009 by peter in business development management opinion toread
American-style hackers don't just make for bad team members; they also make for bad programmers, albeit for reasons new grads seldom anticipate. "Cowboy coders" might be technically proficient, but their code is less likely to be maintainable in the long term, and they're less likely to conform to organizational development processes and coding standards. As a result, quality assurance -- including testing, debugging, code reviews, and refactoring -- are likely to suffer.

What You Can't Say [Paul Graham]
paulgraham.com/say.html, posted 2009 by peter in fascism history opinion politics toread
It seems to be a constant throughout history: In every period, people believed things that were just ridiculous, and believed them so strongly that you would have gotten in terrible trouble for saying otherwise.
Is our time any different? To anyone who has read any amount of history, the answer is almost certainly no. It would be a remarkable coincidence if ours were the first era to get everything just right.

Researchers Build Anonymous, Browser-Based 'Darknet' - DarkReading
www.darkreading.com/security/encryption/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=217801293, posted 2009 by peter in p2p privacy security toread
Darknets, themselves, are nothing new; networks like Tor, FreeNet, and Gnutella are well-established. The HP researchers say Veiled is the same idea, only much simpler: It doesn't require any software to participate, just an HTML 5-based browser. "We've implemented a simple, new darknet in the browser," Wood says. "There are no supporting [software] programs."
