Check out Roundcube. Maybe not 100% GMail, but still light-years ahead of the MUAs you listed.

Hired looks pretty cool, but it seems developer-centric. Any plans to add categories for systems administrators/"devops" roles? Also, what's with requiring a photo to complete your resume?

Heh, how very true. I completed a round of interviews with a large, older, well-known company. The recruiter got me interested by saying they could match my current (well above market rates) salary. Through a total of 10 hours (over 4 da

Your belt-loop, or a rubber band, can make any semi-automatic firearm (pistol or rifle) 'automatic'. Check Youtube videos for 'bump-firing'. It's worth mentioning that fully-automatic firing tends to be a waste o

Rackspace's support is indeed fantastic, however their product is significantly more friction-ful to use (I'm currently at a company that has purchased a Rackspace Private Cloud, and uses it in conjunction with their public cloud)

Ever since the Phoenicians invented money, there has only ever been one answer to that question :-) Basically, remote work at "tech hub" prices (that's what all your competitors are offering), or laughably oversized salaries

People don't use it because it is terrible . I had to manage a 5-node Mongo cluster as recently as 2 years ago, and I still drink heavily because of it. It was a data roach-motel - your documents check in, but they never check out!

It's as simple as doing a search for 'data center near X'. Call up their sales office, and ask them how much per month for ping, power, and cooling. You may also be able to find VARs that lease out racks 1 or 2U at a time f

I really liked the concept, but I could never get past the "you must use Facebook to sign in" part. Listening without signing in was easy enough, but there were several artists/songs I would've liked to have saved for l

I wonder if it applies to music. I've never met a musician who didn't consider music its own language.

It might be useful to add a filter to specify remote-only, local-only, or some combination of the two.

Well hold on with the NFS hate everyone. I worked for a (very large, very deep-pocketed) web hosting company around 10 years ago, and they used NFS to deploy their software, configs (this was just before Puppet started getting popular), an

I disagree. Others have said (much more eloquently than I) that software is the new literacy. In a hundred years, I believe someone who can't at least read code will be at a disadvantage similar to someone who can't read English t

What I'm curious about is, what sort of advanced technology are our rivals and 'allies' flying over us? Is our air/surveillance superiority absolute, or do they spy on us like we spy on them?

I run Steam on my Series 9. I basically installed it just to run Monaco (OT - AWESOME game!) and Team Fortress 2. Both run just fine for me. I do wish X-Com was available under Linux though.
