Yes, you're right, I assume the max draw is 15W, probably 5W at idle and perhaps an average of 10W? Anyway it's much less than 175W-185W I'm using now with a Core i7 as a 24x7 server...

Well I think it depends, but in your case, as you state "our potential hire is excited about our business" and "and willing to work for cheap" so if you can afford him/her and you think the candidate would do a better job/at least as good a

Why does the hosting have to be chinese? The advantage of internet based startups is that everything is global. I'm sure there are great hostings in South Korea, for instance.

I don't know in another countries, but where I live, social security pays you for unemployment 4 months per worked year. That means that with only 6 months worked you would only receive 2 months of unemployment pay, and if you don't have an

Best European country for starting an IT company? Are you talking about taxes? If your question is not related to taxes I don't know why a country would be better than another, specially if your company is all about developing a product and

What do you mean by "etc" when you list the languages you know? Python is more widespread than Go. I don't think that Go is proven enough for a production environment, and you'll find many more resources for Python. Go seems to have potenti

You are completely free to wear a FreeBSD shirt, a "I love Satan" shirt, a Buda Shirt or whatever you like. Equally Christians are free to wear a "God loves you" shirt and I'll take no offence. I have a shirt with Jesus as a Dj. That is, y

"Its not even PC vs Mac." It IS like PC vs Mac. With Mac you have closed hardware and closed specs, only newer or older. With PC you can build your own computer selecting or cherry-picking the components you want, and then install the versi

Yep, I do prefer to watch films/series/documentaries not being broadcasted live, because I choose what I want to watch instead of watching whatever rubbish is on tv, and with the additional benefit of skipping ads.

You can try bicycling, it's faster and you won't sweat unless you have to go uphill. Also, if your office has showers (a rare but nice feature) you can go running/bicycling and have a shower.

Sure, while using windows I always setup Console2 + Cygwin killer combo. This way I don't need putty/Secure CRT/whatever and I can create tunnels so that I can connect to remote databases using TOAD.

Launchy is as cheap as free (as in free beer), and it indexes all the filetypes you want, and with a hotkey like alt+space or win+space it learns by usage, so you end up just typing one or two letters... plus there are plug-ins

I agree, GNU Screen is great... but try tmux, I do prefer this one because of the ease of splitting horizontally and vertically without the need of a patch. If you want to stick with Screen... try Byobu
