   Mainly just another sign for Apple that says: "Welcome to the 21st century! In this *nix era we have package managers!"

   You are looking for ntpdate executed regularly from a scheduled task. Its a sawtooth drift/snap pattern but it seems to be good enough for MS. That said, a slightly configured ntp doesn't ever accept ntp connections from anyone el

   I don't want to be a full-fledged sponsor but I'd love to see a donate function to their site. Once this is released if the CA is trusted by all the major browsers I am more than willing to shift all the money we spend in certs fr

   If they sold it, I might buy that thing that tweets my food bites. It would also make twitter more useful / entertaining for me.

   Google Glass is a lot like Apple Watch. The cost is too steep to risk becoming the next bluetooth earpiece d-bag. Plus, glass gets pretty boring after 20-30 minutes of use.

   If you haven't noticed the recent flurry of Uber articles... Let me try to explain whats going on here. These days you go to boomberg, nytimes, any blog I know of and say "we'll pay you X amount of dollars to write an article

   Realistically... the biggest reason for irrelevance is Microsoft's concept that an operating system should be a prime source of revenue. An OS is the garden you want people to come to so you have prime real estate to sell your wares.

   So the moral of the story is secret agents get uncomfortable when a barista asks to put their name on a cup? These people sound super easy to spot in a crowd.

    Sooner or later studios are going to realize if its not on something like netflix... it doesn't exist.

    True, I also wonder why so many people do not rationalize well known techniques that were mainstream longer than anybody can remember. 1. Attach ring through nose of large animal 2. Attach rope to ring 3. Attach animal to large object 4. Pu

    I've been using ffmpeg packages from deb-multmedia.org repos through the entire libav period. I'm surprised to hear so many people were going through all the trouble to build it themselves.

    Yes, but what about robot sensationalism? Do we have the technology to make something great for sensationalists?

    Is it just me or does OS X Yosemite's new header bars look surprisingly familiar?

    I thought that was the norm these days... Or maybe I should ask, what major blog doesn't accept payments to write articles about whatever? Thats how the blogging business works.

    Looks cool except for the customized android part with a 1-2 year half-life. I'm baffled at how companies can't figure out that less software customization mixed with long-term OS upgrades is consistently more valuable to consumer

    I didn't get replication out of the description. It sounded more like distributed storage and load. Notice they say "warm-standby" for data nodes. I can only think of one reason anybody would resort to STONITH for something l

    I understand the initial shock as a long-time user of gnome as my primary desktop. (since gnome 1) I was like you but now have to admit, since 3.8, I am very happy with all the changes. I prefer its look and feel over everything else these

    I'm always amazed that all these articles seem to miss the fact that the dept of education is the one who decides loan caps for federally backed student loans. Its easy to see that the increase in tuition is directly related to those i

    I think we should make a new list of laws. Basically, a list of laws that still apply to the US Government. The "does not apply" list is getting a little top-heavy.

    To be fair, thats like asking you to explain why gravity works. (without saying that it just does) There are a lot of things that seem simple which smart people have only theorized.

    You could do that, but then you'd be paying extra under the new driving tax that gets bundled with V2V devices. :)

    Truth is, every law is based on people who ruin it for everybody else. That is how marijuana got outlawed in the first place. People has this belief that we are somehow rewarded for passing thousands of new laws every year. The resulting au

    I left Apple last year after nearly a decade of using Apple products. I have a Zenbook Prime running Debian unstable now. I find Gnome Shell just as easy to use as OSX. In fact its more functional in many aspects like how quickly I can get
