Given tc's edits above regarding additional charges for transferring out of AWS I'm starting to change my mind. I still can't believe amazon would ever end up charging north of $20k for a 3TB retrieval but it seems the intended use-case (a

I think you're making an incorrect assumption about which is the most plausible method for calculating the hourly retrieval rate. The most obvious way to me would be to assume it is based on the actual amount of data transferred in an hour

Can you explain why that is of any significance? I understand the relationship between frequency and wavelength I'm just not certain how that makes the process more complicated. (I'm sure THAT it does because DARPA are researching it, I'd

From the article The cards are a hilarious way to raise awareness of the problem of brutal sexual harassment at DEFCON and similar conferences. Unfortunately, it will take more than raising awareness to make hacker conferences safe for wom

This is an absolute non-story and a terrible title. The BBC only has the rights to broadcast the olympic games within the UK. So they cannot legally provide that service outside of the UK. This is the exact same situation with the radio s

"Dumb" actually has the same problem as "retarded". We are just not as concerned about the politically incorrect implications to the group of people which are unable to speak.

Pretty cool, not quite the same, since we know what it is. But thanks for making me spend the rest of my afternoon wikipediaing around on random geological occurrences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pingualuit_crater

to be fair that wasn't a post by dropbox staff just a random user.

Presumably if they were having to deal with a power outage you could reliably assume that that fucking status was set to "not fucking"

same issue on Win7 / FF13 Also affects the "* a" combo if you release shift before releasing 8 then release 8 and press "a" it doesn't recognize the combination (presumably because its reading a key press of 8 in between them)

I think that says much more about you than it does the Chinese or North Koreans.

The feedback is but his superior tone is unwarranted.

I'm getting the same issue. Also on Win7 using IE9 or FF12

Would be interested to know the course requirements for the CS vs. CS-SE If they had more relaxed A-level grades for the CS-SE students (or it was under-subscribed and filled through clearing) then the students on the course were just a low

But how long do you spend setting up the time-tracking process that ensures you don't exceed you 20% time frame in a given day/week/month/year? And don't you also have to track that time as tool-time? How do you even do that without your

Wow! Did you even read the comment above? The interviewer asked for the source and the candidate responded with stackoverflow. in this instance that is absolutely not cheating.

You should avoid the whole gender/sex angle and just make some comment about extreme nerdiness. "I'm a total a nerd and have been all my life I've been on HN for over 2yrs and I can honestly say there's nowhere else on the entire internet w

Apparently I wasn't fully appreciating what "internet content" is. I was assuming this referred to content that is already accessible through a browser - so yes my daughter wants to show us all something funny she saw on YouTube - we put i

Granted I'm on HN so I'm probably not an "average consumer" in this regard. However new computers have HDMI outs and new TVs have HDMI ins. What exactly is the technical problem with getting internet content on a TV? It is absolutely no

its absolutely hideous and unreadable to me for any length of time - Salon.com recently did something similar on a redesign of their site. I go there much less now.

Doesn't Gmail already offer over 7GB of storage for free? I would be amazed if they do not match Dropbox's 2GB free offering.

I'm fairly certain Darwin was an Evolutionist rather than a Creationist ;-) Also I don't think the UK really has the same caliber of religious conservatives as the US (I don't recall creationism being a thing there, for example)

Just because something CAN be done doesn't mean it SHOULD be done. I think the community benefits from people expressing counter-arguments far more than grey-ing out minority opinion. I'd hope a majority of users here feel the same way and

hmm that might be because we don't use the DMV here in Texas the same way - TxDOT and TxDPS are the two agencies you're going to interface with to handle the stuff that California's DMV does. I've been in TX 5 years now (and owned a car tha

While I agree with the points you make regarding the industry The OP answers your question in his post - albeit without directly addressing any of your negative points about the industry. For whatever reason, this video incited a thought a

Its pretty bad form to claim how well documented something is (twice in 3 sentences) and then just hand wave and not provide any links to any of this supposed documentation. (I didn't downvote you)

While all that may be true - (and as a Brit living in the US who has to renew their passport shortly thanks for the heads up on pricing) at $121 for 10 years that works out to be $1 / mo. That actually seems very reasonable compared to my
