Please add an RSS feed. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, I'll take a 'firehose' feed if that's all that's available.

The concept looks super cool, but that Radcliffe guy needs to fix his bad habit of ending most every sentence with a question? It's very distracting to the overall flow and feel of the video? I wonder how long it'll take for the f

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention an even bigger point - very few porn sites provide end to end TLS. Through, uh, research, redtube doesn't have ANY TLS available, and xhamster has a 'some content on this site i

I would wager it's because they have much bigger things to worry about than a (comparatively) small population of well-heeled folks who want to go get drunk, gamble, and get laid for a night or two. If it ever becomes a Problem(tm) su

I'm not saying Verizon is blameless here, but it's a matter of 'would you rather be right, or happy?' I personally will take 'happy' more often than not. You're absolutely right, Verizon shouldn't

This is where good sysadmins, and teams thereof, earn their high salaries. You shouldn't have to suffer through a two-day outage, but it happens. A good sysadmin will insist on multi-provider hosting, be able to advise you on how n
