I have a sorted list of datetimes in text format. The format of each entry is '2009-09-10T12:00:00'. I want to find the entry closest to a target. There are many more entries than the number of searches I would have to do. I could change each entry to a number, then search numerically (for example these approaches), but that would se...

Hi, I need to return a rather big file (11MB) to the user. For certain reasons, I can't just provide a direct url to the file (http://www.sample.com/mybigfile.exe); instead it must be accessed through code. Instead of having to read it from disk over and over, I thought of saving it in memcached (if this is not a good idea, let me know...
