I traveled in the Soviet Union in the 80's. Never once did I get subjected to the type of treatment that I get from the TSA, and I'm not on any DNF list. Also, don't confuse having to register to aid in central planning with

It's not even Soviet. It's worse. At least in the Soviet Union, one could travel freely without shakedowns that come at the drop of a hat.

Well, that's pretty damned cool.

High price/low spec. No thanks. The $300 Windows RT 32GB tab offer cracks me up, though.

You can download an .iso (from MS) of whatever version of Windows you have and use the serial that came with the device to activate it. YMMV, but it works on the Thinkpads I own.

You can set swap to 512MB and suffer no ill. Some people disable swap altogether, but some apps may need it. You can also disable hibernation if you really need the space. Also, WinDirStat is a great program that gives a graphical display o

"Hastings says Amazon is losing between $500 million and a $1 billion a year as it acquires streaming video content rights." I flat out ignore estimates like this. A sway of a few percent, sure...but 500 million to a billion is laughable at

Dalek ballet. At least, that's how my brain feels now.

Definitely pretty cool, though it's hard to look at for more than 18 minutes with it on fast forward. I think it's reprogramming my brain.

Under How to become a hosting partner: "Make us an offer. We prefer unmetered fixed monthly payments." Right. And I want a flying Llama that poops gold bars.

The only problem with AMD going ARM is that everyone and their brother are doing ARM parts, too.

I've never worked in a business where there was a social stratification between specialists in the manner that was outlined in the blog that was linked to. Deep specialization in one area with a narrow, but broad enough knowledge of other a
