It seems that the counter at the bottom counts all updates, and ends up at 2380, so the overall rate would be something like 4760/second, or 17M/hour. Note that the rate has slowed down considerably before .25 seconds have passed, and this

Note that strftime does not produce unambiguous time zone names. The four-letter Australian time zones are printed with names such as EST and CST. Better use -0500, +0545 and the likes, as suggested by ISO 8601.

Are you sure Monsanto is evil? As far as I understand, contrary to popular belief they only sue farmers who use their patented seeds if they also buy the pesticide that goes along with those seeds. Maybe they're evil for some other reason

I think one response that's missing here is that application servers might use a lot of RAM while they're running, so you can only afford to have a few instances running. In such cases, it's better to have nginx buffer the response and dea

I disagree this exploit is like a buffer overflow. It is more like uploading code to a buffer within its bounds (no overflow), and then triggering a jump to that buffer. The only corruption part is getting Yoshi to wrongly think he has so

Creating a shortcut doesn't accomplish the same thing moving an icon does; you still have to move it. Also, moving is generally unnecessary on iOS if you install the most important apps first. Oh, I almost forgot: Yes, moving an app on iOS
