They should really list headphones by models instead of brands. Pretty much every brand there has both entry level headphones and top of the line headphones. Still to this day, I recommend Sennheiser HD 25-II's. These things are indest

Man you can't be a very busy CEO if you keep popping up on forums all the time. Freelancer is terrible for hiring people compared to Odesk, just like Warriorforum is a bunch of "guru's" are trying to sell you ebooks clai

Seems like a cool site but from anyone in NZ, the name doesn't seem fitting. The word 'Kiwi' in a brand name is almost exclusively used by the Asian population here. Eg. Cheesy souvenir shops and Chinese takeaway shops. http

I remember reading a while ago that Imgur uses Edgecast as their CDN and not Cloudfront. See: http://readystate4.com/2012/08/14/great-post-on-imgurs-stack... My guess is that they are only using AWS for servi

Would this benefit you if you ran a large Wordpress site for example? For example if you already had nginx/varnish setup and optimised, would it be worth setting this up to squeeze some more performance out of it?

Guessing you live in a apartment? Not really much you can do, it's up to the landlord to sort out wiring which probably won't happen unless your building was built with fibre initially. I live in Ponsonby and we have had fibre ava

100 megabits = 12.5 megabytes. Close enough. I don't solely have fibre just for netflix. I was assuming using a 3rd party dns server to unblock Netflix they are actually proxy'ing some of the content, so it's really their ser

I'm paying $170/mo for 500gb on Telecom fibre. I never seem to go over 300gb even when I try so it suits me. I always see people complaining about international speeds on Orcon unlimited. I can max out 11mb/s with torrents on

A similar sort of thing happened in New Zealand, ISP's ruled and weren't doing much to upgrade internet speeds. Then the government stepped in and said you gotta get your crap together then forced Telecom (which is now split into

From the looks of it they are just using Ubquiti wireless gear. http://www.ubnt.com/airmax#nanobridgem That is the ariel in the picture on their site. Crazy how they charge you $350 though, they cost $79 to buy individually

I imagine these will be popular with CPU based mining such as primecoin? I've heard there's a shortage of Xeon L5639 servers (6 core CPU, usually ex-lease) as people are using them to mine cryptocurrencies. I tried out a primecoin

Hmm StackDock.com is hosted on a server at Hetzner in Germany. I don't 100% know if the containers themselves are hosted by Hetzner or not, but Hetzner is more of a budget provider than something you host production sites on. I've

I do get it. In theory you would think that a bigger screen with pixels further apart would be cheaper to produce than a small mobile screen with double the ppi. I figured out this Dell screen is 235 ppi so pretty similar to Macbook and oth
