Happiness is a state of mind, you can't successfully induce it with external sources.

At work, I'm even doing it the other way around: Windows runs as a guest in Linux. Nothing get's done in Windows unless it's more work to do it in Linux. Interestingly, for me that's only two things: VPNs and Citrix Metaframe to connect to

Does anyone know the througput of the largest MSSQL installation? I'm searching the web to show off a little information at work, but I can't find anything that compares.

2. To prevent flame wars and stalkers. Nothing would be worse than good people being followed by trolls. 3. The OP asked for "who and what". 4. Isn't that what happens in the comments? Best comments at the top, worst down at the bottom.

If CS grads were smarter, they’d see this as an opportunity, because MS is still a vast percentage of all corporate IT. Yes, VBA is the worst language in the history of the world, but you can get good money doing it, and a

Great point! If that were possible, I'd put them back online. It wouldn't "spread the word", but hey - right now I'd be doing advertisement without benefits.

"but I see no reason to keep the advertising buttons on my blog, either" I disabled them today, just before posting. Thanks for letting me know, anyway^^

I had to redirect traffic from my WP installation to posterous. My server was not able to take the load. Thanks HN for the interest in my humble thoughts.

I know about that and pointed that out. Anyway, do you mathematically see a good reason to keep advertising a service from the sample it does not work in?

I'm glad you made some revenue and/or publicity via flattr. But may I say that I pointed to that in my article: "By no means does my experiment imply any significant validity for the general public, but I see no reason to keep the advertisi

The iPad has certainly brought the Internet to my 75yo grandfather: http://blog.dispatched.ch/2010/07/18/my-grandfathers-ipad/ He's not disabled in any way, he's the most active senior citizen I've ever seen, but computers or the net have

This probably will come as a shock to you, but I won't even try out that app. The screenshots look nifty, I love you did it in 48h; also in rails. Normally I really am into new productivity tools and can't wait to check them out. However, y

Sorry man, but that's just a random collection of FUD there. The AppStore won't be the only way to install apps on the Mac, it will be - as you correctly pointed out - the most convenient for the average user. Concering your argument on fra

Thanks, but that's the wrong way around. I don't want to resolve a domain name, I want my domain name to be resolved - ergo I need a DNS provider for my websites, not a DNS resolver for my client.

Thanks for the advice, I probably wouldn't have considered a danish site otherwise^^ Unfortunately the English translation doesn't work - it only gives me fewer danish options. Anyway, I understand enough words to roughly figure out the pag

What do you use on more critical pages, then? And thanks for the advice on freedns.

I admit, I only had configured only three NS for my domain. But it doesn't make any difference, right now none of the four are available. Good though, that they have a warning sign attached to their page now. I've been searching the web a c

I do that with some of my other domains - that's probably the best option, because when your hoster/registrar goes down, there's simply no need for DNS. But Swiss .ch and .li domains are registered through switch - and they don't offer own

Thanks for your insights. I also have a DynDNS account for my Linksys/DD-WRT router. And I agree on having DNS configuration decoupled from my other servies - years ago I used to run my own bind server. I don't want to sound cheap, because

Mind if I join in? I'm also living in Zurich and have been evaluating contract work. Therefore I would be very interested in anything you would like to share on that topic.

Second that. But for 2500$ you already have a 2 room/50qm flat and a Mini Cooper. At least I do. I don't know any other place where I would earn that much money as a student.

3h later and it's still not working for me. Actually there are a couple of free alternatives. Previously I've been at zoneedit.com, which worked pretty nice. I can't even remember why I switched. Google also offers public DNS[1] as well as
