   It's hard to be confused for a taxi without the livery... I drive a used (ex-police) 2009 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor because I've been seeing the police and taxis drive them my entire life. I like it for the same reaso

   I'm being super pedantic here, but see how you said hybrid before solid state in your third sentence when explaining it? That's basically what I just suggested would be a clearer name.

   I understand what the device does and why they named it as they did. It's an awkward use of language, that's all I'm pointing out. I think 'Solid State Hybrid Disk' is a syntaxically incorrect name as it suggests th

   I know what they mean, but the initialism has another well known use so it's annoying. Not to mention that a device being solid state by definition precludes it from being a hard disk. Logically it just makes no sense to me. shakes fi

   Can somebody tell Seagate what SSHD means.

   What works of Nietzsche did you read that idealised immortality? The concept of eternal recurrence is almost opposite to the concept of immortality.

   As a rule, no. If I can't run it on my own infrastructure (whether it is for personal or work use) I don't want it.

   That's interesting... DarkMatter LLC has an office here in Mississauga, ON, CA. I kept wondering what the hell they do exactly. Their online presence is a bit vague and ominous.

    Google has flagged itself for malware before so it's not totally unreasonable (but it is pointless) to do so.

    Scaleway like the other guy said. Yes, I misunderstood. Also the Pi is not a supported Xen host to my knowledge.

    It is not a cluster per the configuration in the blog post, I was just kindly offering an alternate, correct title. Real Pi clusters get posted every month or so, there is more required than an albeit cute rack case and improvised small PDU

    Very, very little. The CRTC and the Competition Bureau are the relevant political bodies if you feel like trying. I pay $79.99 CAD/month for 250Mb/20Mb with no data cap (I have pushed this to extremes, there is no hidden cap) from

    I think you're responding to a comment that advocates US foreign policy... I haven't ever made one. I'm just saying that Facebook and Google can't throw some balloons and gliders in the sky supplying Internet access and

    You give them windows to socialise during office hours like potlucks and other organised events. I've never worked somewhere where I am not the youngest person upon joining so I'm on the other side of this, but that seems to work.

    Fair point, because I am all of those things. If people like me struggling to make a place for themselves in this world are a red flag... I'm not even remotely apologetic.

    I doubt it's just the beer, associating with your subordinates 'outside' work as a peer when nobody is being paid is good leadership and earns you trust and respect.

    You can have it both ways. I don't think older and attached people would be put off by that necessarily, you would just have to encourage them with other perks.

    Cracking open a free beer and playing COD on a console somebody else paid for at 5:01 PM on a Friday sounds fantastic to me. Working with people you consider friends is awesome, and this sounds like a great way to facilitate that.

    You're not missing out with Outlook... it's absolute garbage on Android. Use Nine instead, it's better and will work without Google Play Services.
