It is CPU utilization. Linodes have access to four cores so the graph's scale is from 0% to 400%, which might not necessarily synchronize with top. Same information as the Linode Manager, just a different time scale to fit constraints of th

For some context (odd that it's not included in the essay itself), this is an essay by Douglas Comer from January 2009 -- according to the HTTP header, at least, which I'm inclined to trust given the system. If that name's familiar but you'

They removed it in 4. It was there before but it was the number from iTunes activation, which wasn't necessarily worth anything (or filled in). Apple wouldn't approve you if you touched it, either, and it was undocumented. Device ID they do

If you accidentally mouse down on the page and begin selecting things (I do this habitually), Chrome will begin scrolling right, and then you're unable to scroll back without doing the same in the inverse. Weird.

Recalling the .com bubble, when the bottom falls out there is a lot of collateral damage, and not just to the players involved. Those of us on the sidelines and not involved in the idea-investment-flip cycle will suffer when the industry in

They specifically allow it now, and I don't think this article has to do with 47/8. They probably cannot transfer 47/8. There are other, smaller allocations in ARIN WHOIS; my officemate rattled them off out loud but I couldn't add in my hea
