One thing I've been wondering for a while and haven't found a answer to. Providers like Digital Ocean let you use their nameservers. Why would I do this over just using the registrars nameservers?

Ouch, I just ran iperf on mine (rMBP wifi to LAN server). I get ~30 Mbits/sec with awdl0 down, and ~9 Mbits/sec with the interface up. This explains why I've been having some problems streaming movies over wifi for a while no

At this rate HL3 will be a fan made game. Valve is just going to buy the guys and girls who made it and slap their name on the box.

I've been thinking about why open forums tend to go eternal September and I've come to think it has a lot to do with how veteran users act. In the early days of a site like this if a new user comes along and makes negative/sn

Oh, it's blue. I seem to be the only one bothered by it but starting any iOS or OS X device for the first time bombards you with a lot of blue icons. I'm starting to equate blue icons with brown video games, more of the same.

Just watched this TED talk today[1] and mentioned to a friend that 3D printing is going to be "really, really cool". While the video probably won't show anything new for your average hacker here it might be a good introduction for people ar

Why do fonts look like ants chipped away some pixels in chrome/win7? They look better in Firefox but I remember OSX looking better still, can be wrong about that though since I hadn't access to one in a long time. But fonts in Chrome are p

The most important thing about design is making sure that it works. Onswipe does not work. The scrolling is broken when visiting the page with an iPad. I can't read the last two lines without 'holding' the page up.

Again and again when I visit linked product sites I'm greeted with pages like this[1]. Even though the link in the article has a country specified in the URL. After selecting the location I'm not forwarded to the requested product page. In

It is next to impossible for me to focus on audio (spoken) only. If I need to listen to something it has to be video or I opt for a transcript instead. Just a random data point that audio without video can be of no value too.

Interestingly enough isn't that how iOS started out? At least to some extend. It would be interesting to know how mobile/web would look today if Apple didn't introduce native apps and instead fully committed to web apps.

It's worth noting that as far as I know Steam Guard is active for any user who didn't disable it. Meaning, if someone tries to log in to your Steam account on a device that isn't yours (both via the client and on the website) he'll get a pr

OT: I usually dislike if something pops up when I hover over a word. The implementation on this site is different though. Select a word and hover "learn more" for a while, or click it. I still don't know how I feel about that but the ease o

How about making it dead easy to get all pictures in print. For example take a look at Apple iPhoto app (OSX) which allows you to easily create an album and have it print.

I can't recall where or when I read it, but there was some talk that Kinect might also be used in an office setting. Microsoft may well be thinking about it and having an open source driver going around might cut into their plans they could

It may be just me but I despise the layout of the pictures. Sure it's fine when you use your keyboard to navigate but for using a mouse it sucks. There also seems to be a problem when on the second image, the previous image doesn't show up

Until a few days ago drop.io; but they're gone now. You could use the public folder of Dropbox. Make a subfolder and put the videos in there. The url should be obscure enough. You can't put a password on it though.

This looks great. One minor problem I had while trying the demo: press [`] key (key to the left of #1) to hide/show subtasks This doesn't work on a German keyboard layout where ^ is next to 1. Pressing the ` key doesn't work either.
