That's inexact. The WRT54GL was brought in as the (at the time) retail version of the WRT54G had much less RAM and flash because they switched from Linux to VXWORKS. It's not that they didn't have the "security vulnerability" but they just

I just had that happen at my company. New Dev hired by the CEO without input from anyone else. She was not bad, but terribly sloooooooooooooooow. She indeed took 10x longer to do common tasks compared to other devs. It's not that she wasn't

There is a whole app ecosystem built around Google Reader. This is going to be ugly. I actually it daily but only through apps like Reeder.

They also have a tendency for linkbait headlines and repeating themselves in articles with slight rephrasing to increase the page count. Those tendency combined with the sometimes enormous amount of graphs makes a lot of page views for them

Terrible presentation on that page imho, the video needs to be replaced by a quick blurb explaining the service.

After reading the article I wondered: Is that actually illegal? Giving his credential and two factor auth token to someone is clearly an abuse of policies but what about the actual "outsourcing your own job part"?

I recently made a couple of sites with Middleman and I've been really happy with it.

Not sure about windows, but VIA is making something somewhat similar but with a x86 processor: http://apc.io

I concur and I do understand why they do make those kind of videos for the portion of the population that prefers watching videos to reading but I don't get why it so seems to be such a dichotomy. I often see videos tutorial/documentation b

It'll probably never happen, from what I've gathered, even Broadcom doesn't have all the specs for the GPU.

I tried Vico when it came out and liked the UI even if the "like Vi but not compatible with any of its plugin" and such that made it unable to take advantage of the whole ecosystem around Vim put me off. But despite that it seems to be a gr

Coming from a web developer background, making stuff with the Arduino has been very fun and a nice change of pace. I'm working on Internet of things projects, generally on the server side, but I decided to try my hand at making an actual de

I concur, apparently the author forgot how breadboards worked when he fired up Fritzing. I'm also very confused by the "Arduino IDE" section as the Arduino software includes all dependencies as far as I know. And "Arduino" doesn't even mean

My first Internet of Things project, it was surprisingly easy to make with an Arduino (first Arduino project too).

"Isn't it about time to say goodbye to localhost?" is a terrible hook for what might be an interesting concept. I'm not sure if this will work out as a product on the other hand,

It is due to the trend of putting as much unrelated content on articles to incite clicks to yet another slideshow/top X list and ramp up the almighty page view. Here is a screenshot of the page with the actual article content highlighted.

I'm guessing it's mostly Mark Hurd (Oracle president and ex-HP CEO) trying to look good by pointing out that he did refuse to buy Autonomy because the price he was discussing with them was overpriced in his opinion whereas HP bought them fo

I didn't mean it that way, Linux did become ubiquitous but not in the way some people (including me) hoped it would. I mostly meant that despite being one of cornerstone of the internet, it's far from the glamorous future some of us hoped f

"Where once Samba and Apache sold Linux to the world they are now just part of the plumbing." What I'm taking away from this article is that indeed Linux has became plumbing. Long gone are the glamorous times when Linux and the FOSS movemen
