First off, nice work. I've noticed that St4k is loading each thread using ajax, where-as stackoverflow actually opens a new 'page', reloading a lot of webrequests. Disclaimer I've got browser cache disabled. E.g on a thr

Could we leverage a VPN tunnel over short band radio waves? This would allow us to detect a Man in the middle attack, as well as provide decentralized access. The speeds would be slow, and the network could be 'jammed' but it co

The industry as a whole will eventually just charge a per GB cost. During peak hours its more expensive...etc, just like electricity. The interesting part will be if they still have speed tiers. Its really in both parties best interest.

The reality is that there's a shortage of highly qualified STEM majors. As an ECE student, if I were to ask students in my major to code a linked list, or binary node tree, a good 25-50% would fail. And this is at a Top 10 program.

Its not that rare to exceed the 300GB datacap if you're not using cable as your primary means of video distribution. Netflix uses 2.8GB/Hour of streaming on its highest quality setting [1]. That's only 107 hours of video per

As a non-microsoft employee I'd never know that drive encryption and secure boot settings would be the same 'technology' or even under 'bitlocker'. As bitlocker to me is the same as os x filefault or truecrypt. Why

I've only got to wonder, how does Microsoft think of these crazy menus. Why would secure boot settings be under Bitlocker drive encryption?

After using os x for a bit w/homebrew, I'd sum it up like this: OS X has a design philosophy of simplicity for the average user. Putting commom settings into guis, and having the more complex ones in terminal. Homebrew follows t

The linux package managers are significantly better than homebrew/macports. If you're using Debian or a distro based off of Debian (Ubuntu, CrunchBang, ...etc) then you can use apt-get or aptitude. If you're using redhat or

Why go with WiFi instead of bluetooth? Wifi is hard. If I was to give a tessel to a friend pre-programmed, how does he enter his wifi SSID/Password? Bluetooth avoids all that. Use a smartphone as a proxy to the web. If he doesn&#x2

Ahh forgot about Xbox Live. I know they recently announced having 300,000 servers: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/microsoft-updates-xbox-li... Mind you, 300,000 * 3k per server is still only 900 million.

My question is if google spent 21 billion, why did microsoft spend > 15 billion on its datacenters. How much datacenter resources is each microsoft customer using? It can't be from just office 365, Azure, and Bing. So is the major

100% agree. As a member of SGA I did push for an online notes resource. It turned out to be a legal gray zone though.

I'd wager it primarily is due to market share. Why infect .001% of the Node.js community when you could infect .0001% of the PHP community. Given that its a newer language, its likely that node.js users are more technically skilled. Few pe
