In some parts of the world they use 2 blades so they can lay down the system when the wind is too high (think tornado/hurricane season)

For those on the fence about learning Rails it's one of the most in demand frameworks out there. I don't just mean in terms of sheer numbers node but in terms of awesome jobs associated with it.

The fact that they are transparent about this, that we can opt-out if we want and that they're open source makes me feel more than comfortable sharing anonymous usage information with them. Homebrew has been amazing for me!

Give me a break! That was not a jab at poor people. It was explaining how a market there is. If you want to see a jab at poor people look at Gainsbourg burn a 500 franc note (about 100USD at the time) on live television. That's a jab

Useless article. Everyone in the field makes promises of huge efficiency gains and new processes that allow cheaper everything in energy. This has zero details about the nature of these breakthroughs.

I heard somewhere that 90% of Canadians live within 100km (about 62 miles) of the US border. It's partly for that reason I don't buy the telecom's insistance that prices are higher because of the huge amount of land they hav

Jobs get folded into other jobs all the time in the tech sector. Does anyone remember webmasters? They're the ones who would configure the web servers and host the files for you, set you up with FTP credentials etc... Now devops peo

I feel so sad when I read stories like these ones... a 300$ ticket is the difference between being broke and having food on the table for her. To me it says a lot about our society if we can't take care of our elderly.
