Depending on the isp (since most people don't change dns servers) it can even take days. DNS resolution sadly isn't very realtime.

It is from that game twisted metal http://playstationlifestyle.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/t... (must be a new one if it has ps3 but the old one was for the original playstation) Edit: maybe not http://ps3.ign.com/articles/805/805953

You can't really use ymacs on an ipad can you? It would probably have to be more button or menu driven.

If you want your neighbors wifi you might as well go and live close to a college campus, all the free wifi anyone could ever want. Other than that though cracking wpa probably isn't worth it if the network essid is something other than a de

If I understood correctly it should be as simple as having an extra file setup to replace your hosts file say /etc/hosts.override and put all your blocked hosts there along with your regular hosts file. Then you just add a 30 minute cron jo

As stated elsewhere it really seems to be a problem with the static content hosted on ycombinator.com (maybe they aren't being cached very well browser side). I don't know how well something like a front end cache would do to speed up conte

I don't know if it quite fits your criteria but if you want a good book about Mars you should check out Red Mars (and the Mars trilogy for that matter). It is more of a hard scifi as a heads up.

I don't know much about python and webapps but what would you serve this with? I'm just curious as I don't see the equivalent serving in this as the node.js and ruby snippets.

Especially when you have such pretty defaults in things like Matlab and Mathematica. Matplotlib ( http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ ) is actually the best opensource library for creating great looking graphs that I have come across, and is

I wonder if $/GB matters when people are selling VMs (like say linode), I don't know how many Virtual Machines are put into one server but if you are doing 16gb per VM and depending on the RAID usage as well it might start to add up. I also

Meh, I think if you are going to call them something you should label them correctly: virtual strip search seems to fit that well. It is especially awful if you can explain that your choices boil down to being seen naked through a virtual s

The only problem is you get things like google's captcha system that make you question whether or not you are human.

I am actually curious as to how many users they lost in the redesign and if they have gotten them back. I can't use the site anymore and even old.thesixtyone.com is gimped way more than the site was before the new update, I go on once every

This is easily the best option, especially if you already have the design ready to go. My dad used to run a print shop and he had all the card styles (paper, printing style) available to view and touch which can make a world of difference

I don't know if I would consider 12 and 13 in Spanish separate, but yes it is suspect. I just posted because I was wondering if there were any real advantages to base 12, or some given examples.

For the title you gave this on HN you sure to present very many reasons as to why it makes a lot of sense (other than more factors). I think probably the hardest part for me to learn to count and do math in base 12 would be to use and learn

Cherokee is actually pretty good at following .htaccess and mod_rewrite for the big blogging/cms engines (like drupal, wordpress). It is much easier to configure, though perhaps a bit more tedious, as it is all done through the web gui. Ot
