I think the stakes of speaking out have been raised. Five, six years ago you risked felony and prison. Today, you risk being labeled an enemy combatant, or even worse, a traitor to the nation (facing execution). The US government has sen

I would like to see an example of an airworthy plane for $20k that has any range (250 miles seems bare minimum). Also, it should cost less than $15k for it's next annual inspection and repair...

I've been a huge proponent of the standup desk for probably two years now.[1] One thing I see people get wrong ALL the time is the simple ergonomics - the top of the monitor should be at about eye level, and the keyboard should be just a l

You can do exactly what he's asking for a one-time cost of $45 with OBiTALK. I used it on my iPhone while traveling in Europe to make several flawless calls to the US, each lasting an hour or more.

If you want a relatively easy way to use your GV number for inbound and outbound calls with the SIP client of your choice, just connect it with Asterisk. The easiest way is to use "PBX In A Flash". I've been using it at home for a few mon

We are using it and loving it. More important than just shipping syslog to graylog2, we're using it to monitor 30+ servers in a cluster. Each server has a "health agent" that sends all the important metrics that happened in the last minut
