Something like this: http://www.nikonmetrology.com/en_EU/Products/X-ray-and-CT-In... It weighs slightly over a (metric) ton, and despite being marketed as "low cost" model, it's not something the average hobbyist can afford. Or even needs

No, they're real transformers, electrically separating board from network. Here's a schematic (first picture from the top, the box labeled Integrated Ethernet Connector ): http://www.conformity.com/artman/publish/printer_139.shtml Altern

Nice to know they care and don't just ship anyways (it would probably work anyways in many cases, but cause lots of frustration). Since the author didn't mention it in the article, the "magnetics" are actually small transformers that filter

My favorite example of this is OsiriX[1], a GPL'd medical imaging (DICOM) viewer written by a radiologist who couldn't find existing software that did what he wanted. It's now an established part of the DICOM world. [1] http://www.osirix-v

Worth pointing out that SWITCH doesn't permit whois "proxy/anonymizer" services. Your real name and address is going to show up there (unless you register under a company name).

Alternative DNS roots[1] will get increasingly popular if this sort of thing (and the DNS-based censorship ISPs are forced into) keeps going on unchecked (read: ICANN keeps sleeping). We may yet end up with an internet where DNS resolvers c

There can and must be only one answer to such a request: "You want WHAT!? Are you joking?" If they weren't joking, walk out immediately, stating why. Warn others. I could and would never work in a place where a "social network username and

Nice. OS X has this built-in though. Other things I've noticed: - The "no results found" bar overlaps the search box. - Can't search by HTML entity - Seems to be missing a few of the more exotic ones, e.g.: 💩 PILE OF POO Unicode: U+1F4A9 (…

That entire website seems to be made up of absolutely hilarious claims. Some highlights: Existing software will be obsolete within 5-10 years! An engineer, used to resolving problems qualified as “impossible” by all others, has developed

Reason, plead, threaten - it's worth a try, but probably won't help. The amount isn't worth suing over. Write it off as learning expense and never deal with them again. Warn others. Welcome to the club.

I used to worry about Git vs. Mercurial too. Neither made me really happy. Then I found Fossil[1]. Now I am coding instead of worrying about version control. [1] http://fossil-scm.org

You need to hire a sysadmin (or operations engineer or whatever they're called these days). You're talking about developers spending time on implementing backup, which is wrong. That's not what developers should be doing. Sysadmins may occa

Excellent point. While Amazon is unlikely to vanish over night, can your business really rely on it being there tomorrow? Even if it's still there you could be prevented from accessing it for a variety of reasons (billing, legal, technical)

Many years ago I've decided it was time to pick up a modern programming language. In the past I had written lots of (Turbo) Pascal code, some x86 (and more exotic) Assembler and a bit of C, but then for several years I only did shell/awk sc
