I do. We are the 1% - from which we can try to separate another 1%, but there's no point unless one's only drive is jealousy, because somebody will always have more. The problem is when a 1% behaves in a way that tries to hold back the othe

I'm sorry to send a very dissenting opinion there, but it's not about a broken window fallacy, the economy, the environment, obesity or anything else - it is just morally wrong. I know we make enough food to feed anyone on the planet, but i

Exactly - headers is how SSLH does its "routing". Sorry about the S3/EC2 confusion, but in the end it's still a better idea to go with a smaller VPS resaler to avoid preexisting subnet blacklists.

This is interesting but incomplete. It may not survive to deep packet inspection or rate limiting. Even worse - your only S3 machine could get blacklisted, and I don't see why operators wouldn't share blacklist the way it's done to fight sp

Never considered? Try to call them someday if you forget your passwords, you'll see how easy it is. My solution at the moment is to remove every passwords from icloud. There're some nice scripts online - just did that and blogged about it o

"Satellite imaging in 1889 was severely lacking, so the imagery is unprecendented." But I guess we will never see that line in an alarmist global warming report.

Previous nanonote owner here. The keyboard is just WRONG . Hard to use for any shell activities at all due to the itsy bitsy tiny space button. Don't plan to type anything on it - notetaking will be a pain. See for yourself : http://en.b

So what are the opportunities there? Opening shop in spain to take advantage of an educated and competitive workforce?? Or it follows the greek way avoiding it altogether???

Spot on. Social media is a nice achievement, but we can do much better as a specie. Let's build things! Let put humans outside the solar system! Let's dream big!!

Around 2000 I used xplanet with the night lights + the sat weather cloud overlay. Is there anything better now?

"generating value for society at large" struck a chord with me. This is also something I strongly resent in my line of work. Maybe rationally rethinking one's destiny requires having first solved the money problem? Congratulations on your i

Spending other people money is so easy. But $22k apiece instead of the $485 solution quoted in the article - that's madness. It can't be just gross incompetence. I guess someone involved in the decision got some kind of kickback, gift, or w

Please don't sell that startup from a beach dream on exoticism. I would like to cast a diverging opinion from my personal experience. For various work-related reasons I left Europe in early 2008 to live in Martinique, in the French West In

It's a nice website, but developers would be more inspired to try tools such as dnrd which allows one to run multiple dns servers on one machine and reverse-proxy the requests. Ex on my dsl modem where I love to test stuff: dnrd-port53 -a

Now that the smartphones are doing the smart things other devices will either be absorbed (palmpilot, mp3 player...) or will be slowly killed. IMHO, a smart watch can have a place, if only as a fashion accessory, as long as it doesn't add t

Sorry but the OP stated valid points, which I fully agree with, yet did not take time to post because they were not very constructive and would not add to the discussion. I guess there are more than 2 of us. The charging part is the #1 prob

I for one welcome the new gopher overlords of tuxfamily.org as announced on linuxfr.org (french slashdot like site)! Even better - I opened my own gopher server on guylhem.org as part of a "retro" project a few weeks ago ;-) Quite fun to do

Changing the medium (dead wood to electrons) will not IMHO make a difference. However the "unsexy" problem you mention is an excellent example. I wouldn't call it unsexy. It's something that would be nice and interesting, even if low on tec

Wow, downvotes. Just to make it clear- I didn't want to disrespect anything you did or the original article (which I did upvote - something I don't do very often), but I like to dream big and I'd like do something good - real good. If you w

It's a great article and it asks the right questions, but it puts aside what I consider the biggest problem : impact. A lifestyle business means to me a life with a very low impact. It can certainly be a good life, but can't we do better fo

This is the single best article I've read here. It is just spot on. A small example: approximately 10 years ago, when I lived in mainland france I purchased all my DVDs by dvdexpress.com because it just removed all these problems. Then they

I know rdate is awful but when that's all you have and don't feel like crosscompiling for a device which does not even requires a minute of precision, it does the job. Technical excellence is not always required, and having more choices usu
