It sounds like you and netcan are both going the same direction, so I'll address both at the same time. Personally I'm pretty libertarian. I know this is a volatile viewpoint to hold on reddit (less so but still somewhat here). I try to be

You are absolutely correct. I would say that I'd rather have the RAM ICs socketed, though, especially considering that the first Mac had a meager 128k of it. :(

From birth to age 18 I spent my entire life in two midwestern farming states, and only visited a few others shortly thereafter. When I was 21 I had the good fortune to take two trips to Japan for work purposes. I didn't spend much time away

Yes, and it sucks, but it has been this way for a pretty long time. Jobs was never about expandability/hackability -- the original Macintosh required a special tool to open the case, wherein you could do nothing to it as it had no user serv

It would, and it would arguably be more efficient, too. I'd consider it, depending on the overlap of projects they undertake and the projects I'd prefer to support.

If this follows the pattern of the Snow/Wind storm that hit Seattle over the winter of 2006-2007, about one month after the power comes back on people will be selling their generators for half price on Craigslist. I would expect gouging to

1) Kick myself for not selling six months ago when valuations would have been stupidly higher (relatively speaking). :) I think this is the grown up version of "I'd wish for a million wishes!" 2) If the money is larger than just being comfo

I tend to purchase electronics with wear and tear in mind. I generally select devices that I've found (or heard) to be reliable, and I don't think I've ever purchased with resale in mind -- I tend to hold on to them long after any resale va

That Washington Post article is excellent. It's too bad the student undertook it so close after 9/11... it would have probably been much better received, and perhaps even productized, today. I suspect he could tell a lot of large corporatio

I'm not sure where you live or what your interests are, but this is the way contracting at Microsoft works. Every year contractors have to take a ~100 day break. Some contractors take that time off to relax / do hobby things, others take sh

Last week I found an issue with routing internal to Yahoo's core network that was causing an esoteric DNS failure for our customers. Routers are configured by people, and people make mistakes.

you could probably include the script multiple times from different places, so long as you're not doing something within it as it loads (i.e. it's just functions) I don't know enough about JS to say, but you might be able to do if(!$loadedv

If I was a betting person I would bet against this interface becoming commonplace as it is shown right now. It seems driven by appearance and not functionality. You don't gain much from this that you don't get from having a MDI window tiled

First, I question the veracity of the article/site. Is it a hoax? Second, assuming it's true, the article says this guy has two years and 14000GBP in this robot so far. For the money and the time investment, it's actually quite impressive.

In major metros in the USA $100/hr is entirely reasonable for someone who gets results directly. If you're performing a specific task you're very comfortable with, or will be on call, bill the full rate in 15 minute increments. If you're ve

The crux of your reason is half of why "I reboot servers." The other half is because I really don't expect to have an interesting conversation about it and don't want to explain it to people. Maybe my family and in-laws aren't cool enough t

The awesomeness that you'd get from an erlang kernel + OS has already been achieved in lisp OSes, such as the stuff from Symbolics. It's possible, it works, and it's totally cool but worse is better ( http://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-bett

Sort of. Depending on where this is actually stored it can be instantaneous -- at work we have a pair of servers that serve DNS via MySQL replication, and time from putting data into the master and seeing it in DNS is well under one second.

I honestly think that 4chan has some of the highest comment standards of any board I can think of, particularly for initial posts (comments can be fairly vacuous). A lot of people go to /b for the trolling, and a lot of trolls go completely

This problem is framed in a way that is subtly different from another way of looking at it that may offer different solutions. Looking at a given comment as a "broken window" would seem to me to lend itself to specific treatments (i.e. a "f
