It looks cool but it's not actually any more usable than just a table / gridview list... Consider :- 1. A list can quickly be filtered to show only critical state servers - I probably don't care about servers which aren't doing anything 2.

The output of Zed Shaw is unbelievable in terms of stuff he actually gets done and delivers. Maybe he should deliver a few GTD seminars :)

More likely it was someone with an addiction to substance / alcohol and they weren't planning on using it for themselves but instead selling it on for a quick buck.

Wallet size has no tear off to be collected by the gate agent so it's no good. Also wallet size is only good if you print your boarding pass at the airport - if you print at home, you don't really want a flimsy piece of paper that small - a

I've honestly never had a problem with a boarding pass - regardless of the format it's pretty easy to decipher. His boarding pass is flawed in a number of ways - It lists a time - is that the boarding time or time the flight is due to depar

How demeaning. Agree with some of it but notice how there is nothing here about anything else you might like to do with your life outside of having a job and owning a business. Like a wife and a family. A 9-5 job is pretty much great in tho

The guy turned down a minimum of $10,000,000. Is he stupid? (I should add, I would take that deal, because if twitter add in any kind of image service or some other service gets popular...)

Not really. Read the article - the compromise was entirely down to user stupidity - clicking on phishing links and the use of an insecure, outdated web browser. Perforce can be secured, but the administrators clearly chose not to. The artic

Except it's not, because the iPad is a consumer device. It's not built to withstand a warehouse / factory environment. Take a look at this ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_xBLxJyQsM Think an iPad could withstand that? Symbol scanners

Story about nothing really. You can bet the planning for the IT has been going on years - I'm sure the decision was made a couple of years ago, and everyone knew Vista stinked, so XP is hardly surprising.

NZ school standards are crazy. It's a 230 pupil high school and they require - we'll assume when they say each rack can contain 48 servers they mean 48U, so that's 192U of space. I'm struggling to see how a 230 pupil school needs that much

The maximum you can get at a reasonable price in England is 50mb download at around $80 / month. It's also worth bearing in mind that upload is the critical speed for DDOS and that is _severely_ limited on most connections. The maximum you

You could even have iPad / iPhone combination for where the players required to keep their 'hand' hidden from the other players. Eg a HN favourite of Settlers of Catan comes to mind - the game board on the iPad, and each player has an iPhon

Nice idea in concept but with all that glass going on I don't see how it can heat very well in the UK winter. It doesn't include the cost of running power / network / phone line to it either - which if you want it done properly and done und

Can I ask a non-technical question about analysing the real-time web... What's the business benefit? I don't think enough happens 'real time' for it to make much of a difference - reading a few blogs, news websites, digg / reddit & tren

Nope, they don't want you to call their premium rate numbers. I've booked many EasyJet flights and never had to phone them. With EasyJet you can even swap your flight for an earlier / later one (for an extra fee of course) online. It's comp

It's very cheap but then you get what you pay for. The best and fully featured graphing capabilities are from Dundas imo (www.dundas.com). They charge about $3000 / developer licence and then $3000 / server that you run it on. If you priced

Of course, your perspective on the money is about hospitals and profit making. Over here in the UK with a nationalised health service we of course have a much different view ;) We are trying to implement a centralised patients records syste

Definitely depends on your personality. I work from home 3 days a week usually, but at the moment I've been doing 5 days a week from home. It has the upsides and the downsides. The biggest upside for me is that you can get lots more done -
