We cancelled our cable in 2007 and have never been happier. For example, Wikipedia states current shows are between 18-22 minutes long with 12-8 minutes of advertising. So for the worst offenders (looking at you TruTv), you're getting awful

Sorry to stay a bit off-topic, but if you haven't watched Penn and Teller's Bullshit show - they bust these type of "predictions" all the time. And usually, it's pretty funny. Although they probably don't think of each other as "hackers," t

Exactly, my cable ISP is Cox and they have been traffic shaping for years. That means my neighbor's PornTube traffic already has priority over my FTP session to a clients server. Its underlying traffic shaping method: at times of cong

In 2-3 grade, my tiny little school had a single computer. It was a DOS-system (circa 1989) and although it was cool, we were only allowed a few minutes of strictly monitored time on it and even then, it was pretty limited. The next year, I

> The top 10 list isn't really interesting because it's just a framing device for Win7 features; Right and it's not technically a top 10 of Mac vs. PC, but the tabs are right next to each other which is why I commented on it.

They pretty much nail the "fun" category, but the repeated shots they take at compatibility (and iWork) seem pretty dishonest to me, considering, you know, Office for Mac has been around 25 years? And the Top 10 list made me laugh aloud:

Knowing how hot geo is and googling around for a few minutes, would it be logical to conclude that FB adding geolocation features is both likely and major risk to your venture? And not familiar with Facebook's TOS, so maybe this isn't even

Your theory makes sense, but if this is true, he fucked up the iPhone and man, even if letting him stay would create a better executive, increase value to the entire company, etc., I just flat can't see Jobs letting him stay in any manner

It looks like you will be competing directly with Facebook. That's Facebook. ;) But okay.. if we assume that many people only have time and energy for one main social network, could you briefly tell me what your site offers that other netwo

I would echo the comment on performance with your app and Bespin. I mainly use TextMate and Xcode and they both still have incredibly annoying delays when syntax-coloring largish docs - and that's running native Obj-C/C on a 2.8GHz C2D desk

> * Your SSL certificate will be considerably more expensive for a wildcard Very good point. Went with DigiCert for a wildcard a few years ago and it was in the $400-range compared to ~$100 for a standard cert.

Three nice things about using subdomains are that you can: a) point a single account's DNS to an entire server (or cluster) without forcing all traffic to a specific machine or proxy b) offering custom domain names to customers is simply a

The problem for me is not hardware, got a couple of older machines here that could easily run my current project (nginx + node + mongo), but the problem is symmetrical bandwidth is fabulously expensive.

Often work on several projects at a time here. Keep two text files on the desktop to sort them out, one small file (~200 lines) for concrete ideas and another large file for "future" or less defined thoughts. Inside each are project code na

Okay it boots to GNOME, that's always a start... for the uninitiated, what is GhostBSD, how is different from *BSDs, and why would anyone want to go through a "tough" install to use it?
