I'm a big fan of self-study, but since you already have a PhD, it seems like you'd be quite comfortable learning in a classroom environment. Perhaps you can audit some classes in basic electronics and computer science? That should be a bi

You can’t pause it, you can’t record it, you just have to watch it, like broadcast or cable TV pre-TiVO. And that makes it an ideal commercial medium and one very good for preserving intellectual property rights, unlike all those others.

Not really. In the future there will be a whole crop of system administrators who don't ever deal with hardware and data center issues thanks to cloud computing. There will still be plenty to do and plenty to worry about.

I don't have TV, I have a 30" monitor. My sweetie and I roll the chair away from my desk and sit on the couch a few feet behind. HD content looks great, and I have a variety of sources to choose from, you tube, hulu, USENET, etc.

These photographs are over 100 years old, yet they still have someone's obnoxious copyright on them. Intellectual property makes me sick.

I can't speak for ya'all, but my email stays stored on my IMAP server on my personal box. If somebody wants my email, they'll have to get it from me. All of my mail filtering rules work on the server side, and I get a consistent view of m

I wonder if this story would have seen daylight with the headline "Kickstarting your marketing". The headline is an editorial decision that you, the HN submitter, get to make, and I disagree that it is always tacky -- although I won't argu

Tip for OSX: If steam complains that it needs to be on a case insensitive file system, you can go to the disk utility and select 'New Image' from the toolbar and create a files system, make sure it's case insensitive, and mount it in /Volu

I thought the same thing. For mother's day I got my 79 year old mother an iPad, and so far she really loves it. I don't think I've ever seen her this excited about a gadget. While I was at my parent's place for mother's day, I got a chan

I tested very highly in grade school and was invited to take part in a gifted student program. I didn't have a chance to enroll however, as my family moved that summer. After that I started doing very poorly in school, mostly because I jus

Built in replication is a big step towards that goal. Healthy competition between open source databases is good for everyone.

It's going to take a lot more than an expensive, closed source, hardware integrated, clustered database that talks the MySQL protocol to even make even a tiny dent in MySQL's popularity. Outrageous headline used to draw people in to an ann

Interesting how he integrated the price for all his WP themes into his brand -- everything is 75 bucks, hence press75.com. That seems great for now, but does it make it difficult to raise prices in the future?

Inspiring. I wonder what other Open Source ecosystems have opportunities for selling premium add-ons. As a sysadmin, DBA, and sometimes programmer I already love what I do, but I'm starting to realize the limits of the money I can make wo

There are. The Kinesis keyboard has four thumb buttons on each side of the keyboard. The biggest, closest one on the left side I map to CONTROL. The other big left thumb button I map to ESCAPE.
