If you really don't like dropbox you won't tell people to quit. You will tell them to get free accounts and: dd if=/dev/random of=~/Dropbox/junkFile bs=1024 count=1000000 Adjusting the count according to the ac

I am very concerned about the .onion and .namecoin suggestions I have seen recently. The primary advantage of the internet is that it is universally accessible, but now people are promoting fragmentation in favor of security.

I think I will start with just pulling it off the network. People like to be able to easily move the data, but it is probably worth making them use thumb drives now.

We don't have extra parts, but the service team does and the machines themselves are getting hard to come by. I tried shopping for a computer with more than one PCI slot recently, and spent days just trying to figure out what is in com

It depends on your own goals. If you plan to maintain and market it then keep it. I personally like building things, and starting things, but I am much less interested in marketing and making a business out of it. I would sell out in a minu

I am not sure this gets at the reason XP computers are still around: Our lab has a fair amount of equipment that is based on a PC running Windows XP. This is mostly equipment that is old but still working, and will never get driver support

If you give them files with 20mil trace and space specs is there really that much of a risk? I was on the OSH Park website a few minutes ago, and I think I will give this a try instead.

These all seem like issues that should have been caught in the original peer review a long time ago. Is this still a groundbreaking study, or did it just get caught up in a media frenzy?

30 days seems long, but I guess if I am in a hurry I could set up 10 of them with 3 days in between so that it is always 72 hours out...

This seems like a good option if I am ever in an action movie and I need to tell the bad guy that all of the information will be released to CNN and the NYT if anything happens to me. If I come up with something I can't tell my wife wh

If the internal resistance of the battery really is low enough for this to work then the discharge speed could also be a huge advantage for other applications. At the same time I see a huge safety issue: If I drop my phone in the water I do

Every time I submit an app to the iOS app store I get a get a few emails marketing services like the one from the attached flier. Are these just scams, or are they any good?

The SODIMM form factor is interesting. I know in this case they are just using it because the connectors are easy to come by, but are there any examples of a computer designed to fit in a RAM socket and do processing rather than just static

Bootstrap style pages look gorgeous, but don't tend to say anything useful, and I hate it. I know it has nothing to do with CSS, and it is technically possible to have a link to something useful when using a pretty design, but I have y

I expect that Comcast will try and get their $100/home if you are interested in TV or not. The price will just shift and you will pay more for internet. Saving money by dropping the TV portion is a fallacy and at best temporary. I don&
