He didn't write that wind power doesn't make sense for the United States. He wrote that it doesn't make sense, period. You just put words in his comment, then used the words you invented to dispute me instead. I loathe when people do that

Grid oversupply is bad (just as any overpowered circuit is generally bad). There isn't a way to dump power or store it, so they had to dump it on other countries who then had to adjust accordingly on their grid. You might think of it as a

In case you didn't realize it, you're arguing that wind power doesn't "make much sense" on an article describing an entire nation implementing almost 25% of its total electric power demand via wind, and planning to raise that to 50% withi

No, I reworded 'If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you,' it's an old expression. Nobody got it.

Why are you mounting customer images on your host fleet? Put another way, what do you supply for "kernel=" in xen.conf? A file from your customer's filesystem? Why are you doing that?

Well, that's a comment that betrays a lot about you and, potentially, why your startup failed.

Actually, hypervisor details aside, 8 VCPUs fully pegged at 100% user or system time will consume 4x the capacity of 2 VCPUs fully pegged at 100% user or system time in a domU, assuming comparable chips. Always and regardless of how Xen s

Yeah, do you know how awful a t1.micro is? It's a joke. I've never seen steal% that high before. There must be thousands on a single machine. Although if you want to be pedantic, let's say "actually useful, potentially-production barrier

The entire point of Linode's private network is that you're not routing across the Internet to deliver traffic to a machine in the next rack. If you're not using RFC 1918 space that is properly configured, at least one router has to make a

Having deployed significant environments on both Linode and AWS I can safely say that the barrier to entry on AWS is nowhere near lower than Linode's, for all but the tiniest Wordpress blog. The hourly, broken-up billing is a smokescreen;

The point, especially in a non-SSL environment, is not that you're not trusting Opscode or Homebrew. It's that a malicious attacker has a vector, because he knows people will be doing something with that URL. If I own Opscode and I'm smart,

No, because in Python's interop model, importing a compiled module involves a shared object (so you don't have to relink the interpreter to add one).

I think the disconnect there is that Half Life 2 was a superb achievement in gaming, and worth the investment of dealing with Steam (arguably, Counter-Strike 1.6 started the Steam train, though, and Team Fortress 2 keeps it chugging).
