Apple is selling the Gold iPhone and having a simultaneous launch in China. This is not a coincidence, and as you can see[0], it is working. [0] http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-09-24/china-gold-9-millio...

The $250,000 limit on medical malpractice suits in Texas is bullshit. Protecting doctors from frivolous lawsuits is fantastic in theory, but if make a grave mistake, you should be held accountable. 'License to Kill' isn't th

Same as StavrosK -- HP Micro Server. The 16TB box is an N40L. I bought it awhile ago, but haven't needed extra storage until recently. I also have an N36L running FreeNAS/ZFS on 4x2TB disks which I've used for about 1.5 yea

I built a 16TB raidz home office server this weekend using Ubuntu and ZFS on Linux[0]. It worked great out of the box. I was even able to import a pool created on another server without any problem. Of course, your mileage may vary. I wa

They would be leaps and bounds faster. Especially comparing random IOPS. Let's just assume they were using a Seagate Cheetah 9LP. That's a 9GB, 10k RPM, 1MB cache UW SCSI disk that was widely available in 1998, for a whopping...

It's a computerized version of the soup kitchen. Instead of handing out soup to a hundred folks, they help the entire internet. Good deeds don't really need justification.

One of the more useful bits of ssh is not mentioned: remotely running commands. Example: ssh username@host "echo $HOSTNAME && sudo somecommand && cat somecommand.log" There's probably a better way to do this,

The escape key on the BlackWidow is 100% mechanical. You're thinking of the CoolerMaster ripoffs... ew.

Damn! That's quite a difference from my experience. I'll gladly add a 'YMMV' to my above statement. I've had my fair share of high end mechanicals: IBM M buckling spring, Filco/Leopold Cherry of all flavors,

I've got two Razer BlackWidows (Blue at home, Brown at the office) and not seen any problems with build quality that you mention. I do believe that most keys on the BW can be replaced: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/keyca

Razer makes some nice mechanical keyboards (BlackWidow series) with optional backlight, Cherry MX Blue or Brown switches, extra macro keys (that can be bound to any action), along with keyboard mapping software that works very well on Win&#

Is it feasible to do the decryption in JS? LastPass for example encrypts the passwords and never sees the plaintext. Although decrypting a plaintext password is a significantly smaller problem than decrypting large files.

There's gotta be a simple, legal workaround to require franchising. Here's how I could see it happening: 1. Create Company X. 2. Sell exclusive USA franchising rights to Company X. 3. Acquire Company X, rename the new subsidiary

In the US, you can drive a vehicle with up to 15 passengers on a regular license. The bus has been converted and should be registered as a non-commercial recreational vehicle, so it would be the same license for that... probably a Class A

Yep. That adds more keystrokes to optimize a query that didn't give the best results the first time. It'd be nice if there were an option to revert the behavior.
