Thanks for the 's' tip. Too bad they didn't also use '/', like gmail and atlassian products.

Even the apology for being vague and somewhat underhanded is somewhat.. underhanded. Here is the video shown at the press conference shot using a Lumia 920. On the right is a Lumia 920 prototype with OIS. On the left is a smartphone wit

Here's a post outlining how strace can be used to solve problems: https://blogs.oracle.com/ksplice/entry/strace_the_sysadmin_s... More from a sysadmin POV than a dev, but you'd probably still find it useful.

A lot of IKEA criticism here, but what they are doing is actually pretty neat. All of their products are probably designed in some sort of CAD software, which means they already have the models necessary to do these sort of mockups. It stil

Thank you for pointing that out, and kudos to Amazon for updating their doc. They have an easy to understand sample calculation up now as well.

The way they calculate it is a little misleading. From AWS[1]: Provisioned IOPS is charged by the amount you provision in IOPS (input/output operations per second) X the amount of days you provision for the month. If I understand the abov

Whatever the result, the lawyers always win. This is pocket change for Oracle. The real set back to them is the result of the case. And though it's good to see the aggressor in one of these lawsuits actually lose, it's saddening to think th

Kind of an odd article, the writer spends the first part of it trying to come up with compliments, which usually fail. Instead of manufacturing a compliment, just pay attention and realize what you think looks nice, what you like, or what y

Great idea, look forward to playing this with my daughter. But, from the article: "the flip side to that in the case of DragonBox is that you don’t learn the reasons for the rules. My kids (particularly my five-year-old) have no idea why,

This is great, but what would really be nice to see is a way to get cost per particular instance, either based on instance-id or a particular tag. You can to some extent do it manually, and breaking applications into different accounts achi

Japan still lags behind the US for most big-ticket films. Avengers won't open here until 2012/08/17, more than three months after the US release date. [1] That's a month ahead of the projected blu-ray release of the film though. It's really

He calls out 'weekly status meetings' as one of the things a manager should not do, but depending on how they are handled I think it could be a good thing. A place I worked at used to do a '5 minute meeting', every day, right after lunch. O

Too late. Already replicated created Scientific Linux 6 cobbler repos and have started deploying. SL seems to be much more on top of things than CentOS these days, and it was incredibly frustrating waiting for CentOS to release 6.

You sound like a desktop user, but a server environment, if done properly, is kind of the opposite. Anything important is part of a pool. Rebuilding, with cobbler + puppet, should take 10 minutes depending on your hardware and network, plus
