If you're on a Linux system, the 'tc' (traffic control) command has many similar abilities, though the UI is CLI only and is a bit cryptic. There are many posts and articles on usage though, including the Linux Advanced Routi

I like the idea of another wireless competitor but speaking only for myself, Ill be avoiding it just as much as I avoid Google search and gmail. I value my privacy and Google has built their business model around depriving me of it.

Its irritating that as soon as I start scrolling, a little popup appears asking me to subscribe to the site. The popup is out of view on mobile devices, leading to an experience where this page just turns dark gray after I try and scroll.

IMO plex and xbmc serve a different purpose. Plex/xbmc is a more of a home entertainment system. Vlc is merely a media player (that is incredibly awesome at what it does, thus the reputation). I use xbmc on my TV in the front room beca

We don't have the right to sue, but we have the right to help the original author(s) sue by providing funds for a legal challenge.

Am I the only one who read that and thought to myself, 'gee, why would he set his clock so far into the future?' Facepalm.

I'm a stickler about this. Beyond answering the odd phone call or message, I have a hard time seeing it as anything but the company unfairly attempting to externalize costs onto their employees. Just like you give me a work computer to

If there's one thing that the outrage around the Snowden leaks showed us, it's that people do care. But they just aren't all geeks or programmers or crypto experts, they're welders and baristas and waitresses and cab d

Is there a kick starter page for this cause that I can contribute to? Because I would. I'm not going to back just any crypto project, but with the right people leading the charge I would get behind it.

Unless it can be shown to have adverse health effects I'm not sure I would agree with taxation either, that said. Baby steps. Taking it from omg-lock-your-doors-theyre-doing-marijuana illegal, to on the same prohibited level as tobacco

Looking at how much money Colorado is raking in, I honestly think it's just a matter of time before other states fall in line with legalizing marijuana. Awkward banking situation be damned.

When I was in highschool it was considered the "in" thing to be bisexual. I never really understood the claim, I was who I was and that was that. But I'm starting to wonder if the new way to express your individuality is to c

I agree, but looking at the list of software, we know it's not exactly music either hehe.

Kind of sounds like some script hashed a "download" icon that's commonly used, and submitted a DMCA takedown claim. Or something along those lines. It's time for some teeth to be added to the DMCA to prevent abuses like

Glitz IMO. Annoying glitz too if they include information in the videos that isn't in text form on their website. Videos play at one speed, I can't fast forward the video if I'm a faster "video-watcher" like I can w

Though I'm no tptacek, I think the reasoning here is that even though TrueCrypt is undergoing an audit, it's not under active development and unfortunately due to the licensing, any patches produced by the community could be on un

So it works with glass, ceramics, anything non-ferrous. What if I had a ferrous mug with say a wooden handle, would I still need the iron rod, or would the system not work at all?

What if the home contained both normal per-regulations smoke detectors that alerted humans, and had other smoke detectors to alert your home automation system? We could call them sensors instead, to differentiate. Ideally, the sensors for y

Who would you rather buy from though? The innovator, or the imitator? Price may be the differentiating factor, but I think most ppl would choose the innovator.

I would understand if they did offer a service that you could subscribe to, but I've seen devices that are one off purchases that require live server access. That just doesn't make sense to me aside from your point about updates.

First of all, outbound filtering. You might want to look into it. I'm installing outbound filters for all my friends and family, with stuff like this it's not hard to help them see the benefit. Second, what's the big deal? If

It's interesting to hear about the different impacts of essential oils, though when you consider manuka honey also has healing properties as well, it stands to reason that other natural plant extracts could have similar properties.

Couldn't the price of a house call just be increased to account for this? Or rather, a health care system where visiting a doctor is free, but house calls are only included in the health care plan if your have a disability that restric

This is maybe a little bit off topic, but I am glad to see that Doctors on Demand would be doing general medical house calls in the US. This seems like a good idea, I hope it spreads. I don't live in the US myself, but I've always

I have the same fear, but I wonder if that fear stems from lack of training and or documentation and or time. When I ask myself why I am afraid of deploying to production servers its always because I don't fully understand what the dep
