   Various ISPs, including Comcast, Sonic.net, and a few others aggressively cache DNS entries (including SOA records) for longer than the 30 minutes we specify. If you continue to have problems where the site completely times out - you get no

    I can't speak for them, but I'm one of the beta testers and am under the impression you'll be able to send in the board for battery replacement when it finally dies. It's just not user serviceable at all.

    I did until my day job required me to work on a project with a file named "con". Go try and create that on Windows. I dare you. No, I couldn't rename the file. Now OS X is my primary OS, and it works fine.

    Usually it's common shares that are affected. If your company sells for $15 million, but $20 million was invested with 1x preference, there's not enough money to pay out investors, let alone common. It doesn't require dirty t

    Hosting your own servers doesn't require foregoing virtualization and containers. All the tools listed in the article that aid deployment can be used on your own hardware, and should be! Also, if you suddenly need 10 or 100 new machin

    Skype took off because they were masters of evading firewalls and corporate network blocks. People used it because it worked when nothing else would. That it was P2P was always an implementation detail, not a selling point.
