SEO / Page Rank considerations for website redesigns

Fully cached dynamic website

I would like to cache my website with memcache as much as possible. There are rare modifications (somewhat like in a forum) which I am perfectly ok with re-caching once change is made.

What's browser support like for bare SWF files?

Does anybody use bare .SWF files as webpages? I know it's possible; it seems to work fine for me. Why would I embed a SWF inside an HTML page if it's just going to be full screen (I mean the size of the browser's normal viewable page area, not COMPLETELY fullscreen)?

PHP Pagination, MySQL LIMIT problem

As some of you may know, use of the LIMIT keyword in MySQL does not preclude it from reading the preceding records. For example: SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 10000, 20; Means that MySQL will still read the first 10000 records and throw them away before producing the 20 we are after. So, when paginating a large dataset, high page num...

Non-tested product in the end of Sprint in Scrum methodology.
