There are. Probably the #2 most popular coin is 'litecoin' ( http://litecoin.org/ ). It uses scrypt instead of sha256 in order for it to be harder/more expensive to use GPU clusters and FPGA/ASIC hardware to mine them. Mining using GPU is s

pricing seems high to me, unless I'm thinking about it in the wrong way. Is Unique Users/month equivalent to the number google analytics reports for 'Unique Visitors' over a 30 day span? I guess the site I'd consider using this on isn't rea

perhaps that's the size of the script uncompressed, and gzip crunches it down to < 10KB? dunno for sure. could be the factor of 8 thing that another commenter suggested.

the article is calling for 91% marginal rate on the top income bracket. quite different than paying 91% of your income in taxes.

I seem to recall this same technique being used in the pre-OS X era of the Mac OS. Not sure exactly how far back, but I'd say at least into System 8 if not System 7.

#1 is the reason why the math works out in favor of 3 year reservations. I took this into account already: $price = $reservationCost+$hourlyRate*24*365*$numberOfYears Where reservation cost, hourly rate, and number of years are pulle

I disagree. A 1-year heavy reservation for a Medium High-CPU instance is $765.36. A 3-year for the same is $1515.68, with a per-year amortized cost of $505.22 (the first year will be more expensive than the 2nd and 3rd due to the up-front c

I like this, but I feel that a list of all the potential completions instead of snapping to the nearest one would be very useful. Sometimes you remember part of the function you're after but not the enough of it to get the autocomplete to s

very excited for the lower S3 -> CloudFront prices. that change alone is going to save my site probably 25-35% on our CDN bandwidth charges.

as I understand it, the point isn't that they drive cars that approximate production automobiles. But rather that the technology the teams develop to come up with competitive advantages (lightweight-yet-strong materials, power from limited

I reacted quickly enough to get a new instance spun up and added it to my site's load balancer, but the load balancer is failing to recognize the new instance and send traffic to it... yay. Console is totally unresponsive on the load balanc

I'd be more willing to agree with that line of reasoning if generating the wasted items wasn't consuming scarce resources in the first place (fresh water and gasoline/diesel in particular). Putting pressure on the demand for water and fuel

This is excellent, I was just complaining about the 32-bit-only medium high-cpu instance types yesterday. Now I just wish they'd add another mid-range instance with ~3.75 GB RAM and 2x2=4 or 2x2.5=5 CPU. Basically combine the higher resourc

Would it be valuable to set up a service that could check your public keys against a database of others checking for common factors? Or just better to fix the entropy problems and assume the problem doesn't exist anymore?

If Amazon had an option to use HDD instead of SSD storage for a certain DynamoDB table and adjusted the pricing accordingly, would that pretty much take care of users wanting basically what DyanamoDB offers except for cheaper with slightly

As someone who's done his fair share of ExpressionEngine development, the template system is a source of endless frustration as soon as you need to do anything remotely complex on the page or deal with user input. It is a great choice for b

This is my issue with them as well. I have the latest 6 core mac pro, but would have been happier with a 4 core i7 with non-ECC RAM for much less money. I only bought the tower to get the drive bays, upgradeable graphics card, and multiple

I love mine (2010 13" version, wouldn't mind the bump to the i5 processor but I get by on the core2duo). Definitely max out the ram (not sure if you even get a choice anymore). I mostly use it for LAMP-style web development; but I do some J

how do you trigger an erase anyway? is that eye-looking thing on the side a button? is it possible to erase just a part of the "screen"? neat looking device though for throwaway scratchings.
