Heh, during college I bought a pallet of 500 Eizo monitors and resold them for a nice profit (covered my fees that year). I cherry picked the three nicest Eizo T965 monitors. Man was that a sweet setup. Damn near broke my back, my desk and

To be honest Zuckerberg could've taken an annual sabbatical and it wouldn't have made a jot of difference to Google Plus's future. When G+ came out Facebook was pretty damn popular amongst my peers and younger friends and col

Absolute lunacy - a bird will be seriously injured by this at some point. Even the cheapest decent drone (Parrot AR Drone) can cause skin lacerations with its flimsy plastic blades. I shudder to think what some of DJI's carbon fibre bl

Sorry for your loss. Can you elaborate on whether his diet excluded rice, refined grains and any other sort of simple carbs? I was rather shocked to see in the documentary 'Fed Up' that all these carb rich foods get broken down to

BTRFS has much lower memory requirements than ZFS which needs at least 16GB RAM for anything performant. Also for NAS boxes expecting the user to compile the ZFS libs from source wouldn't be optimal.

A lot has changed. Well - one thing actually: you no longer lose your ZFS pool if your dedicated ZIL log (called a SLOG) dies. Here is some info on ZIL vs SLOG: http://www.freenas.org/blog/zfs-zil-and-slog-demystified&#

To be honest spot reduction is one of those stubborn myths that persists much like people believing that fat is the boogey man. Nutrition and fitness seem to be areas which really lack good, hard science behind the many assumptions we make

Chopped dried apricots (if you can pick some up which are grown in Silicon Valley - not kidding - you're in for a treat), almonds, walnuts and a dollop of Greek yoghurt. Don't overdo the dried fruit though since you'll end up

Cool, might finally see an update to Apple's Mac Pro - it's been waiting on the E5 for quite a while considering the current Mac Pro ships with Intel's Ivy Bridge architecture!
