Yes, I'm going through this right now! What a PITA. I think they don't allow you to edit the registrant contact email (though you can edit every other field in that record) for just this reason. 24+ hours after filing a ticket with them, I still have no response.
I have a VPS ("slice") at Slichehost and it's the best thing since... well, you know.
Seriously, it may not be right for all applications, and things like Solaris' zones/containers are quite awesome (much more control over IO, fair share scheduling, etc.), I have one of those too at Joyent, but (like many things Linux) it seems to work, be fast, and get the job done at a great value.
I have seen people complain when they have an app that's IO bound and there's another slice with heavy IO needs--looks like IO contention isn't really managed by the hypervisor--but that's pretty rare.
Besides performance at a great price, you also get the benefits dmayle talks about: easy deployment (you get a choice of prebuilt distros to install), and backups/spanshots (both create and restore) are as easy as clicking a button in the control panel. You can also upsize or downsize your slice from the control panel, and be back online in minutes. Try that with a dedicated server!
Like paint, batteries, thermostats, and other hazardous household items, CFLs should be disposed of properly. Do not throw CFLs away in your household garbage if better disposal options exist. To find out what to do first check the following website: www.earth911.org where you can find disposal options by using your zip code (*see detailed instructions at the end of this document) or by calling 1-877-EARTH911 for local disposal options. Another option is to check directly with your local waste management agency for recycling options and disposal guidelines in your community. Additional information is available at www.lamprecycle.org. Finally, IKEA stores take back used CFLs, and other retailers are currently exploring take-back programs.
If your local waste management agency offers no other disposal options except your household garbage, place the CFL in a plastic bag and seal it before putting it in the trash. If your waste agency incinerates its garbage, you should search a wider geographic area for proper disposal options. Never send a CFL or other mercury-containing product to an incinerator.
Blastwave is a collective effort to create a set of binary packages of free software, that can be automatically installed to a Solaris computer (sparc or x86 based) over the network. Blastwave has a substantial build server farm for the use of the software developers and maintainers in the Solaris community. All software is built and tested in a standardized build environment using Sun ONE Studio 8, Sun ONE Studio 10, Studio 11 tools as well as GCC.
Real apt-get with dist-upgrade for Solaris would be great. Blastwave seems like a stop-gap in comparison. Reinstalling from the DVD every time is a pain, and BFU isn't as comprehensive. In this respect OpenSolaris can learn usability from Debian, and I'd love to see it.
Yes, I've noticed this in some big cities. Problem is, in the western US we have no obstacles (other than other motorists, pedestrians, and bikes) so the speeds go up to 50+ MPH in most places and drivers feel others should basically stay the hell out of their way. Add to the mix the over-proportion of full-sized SUVs and pickups, and lots of sprawl, and it's hard to see this solution being implemented here. Too bad.
+1. I would ride to work everyday if it wasn't for getting brushed into the gutter by a stupid Expedition or F150 just about every time I ride on the roads. A mountain bike trail to my office would be heaven.
Think about it--how much would we save in road construction, loss of life and limb, heart disease, particulate-induced lung diseases, global warming, depression, diabetes, and mid-east oil-profit-fueled terrorism if we banned the automobile in most U.S. cities.
Plus, think of the sweet bikes you could afford if you didn't need to buy/lease a car to get around!
My sister-in-law lives in Düsseldorf, Germany, and she saves so much cash by using public transportation and walking most of the time, and then renting a car when she needs one. Most western U.S. cities are extremely difficult to navigate without an automobile.
Remember that advertising slogan, "It's not just your car, it's your freedom"? I always feel a sense of liberation when I go to a city that I don't need a car in.
Government officials must have reasonable suspicion under the Fourth Amendment to search someone's laptop at U.S. borders, according to a recent ruling in Los Angeles.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Dean D. Pregerson of the Central District of California is the first within the area of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to address whether searching a person's laptop is more than routine and therefore subject to the search and seizure protections of the Fourth Amendment. U.S. v. Arnold, No. 2:05-cr-00772 (C.D. Calif.).
The Oct. 2 ruling expands upon a previous decision by the 9th Circuit that permitted the search of temporary cache files in a man's laptop. U.S. v. Romm, 455 F. 3d 990 (9th Cir. 2006). The decision could lead to a potential circuit split, given a conflicting 4th Circuit ruling last year in a similar case.
This is certainly a disaster for everyone involved.:(
Especially for Nina and the children who survive her.
After reading excerpts from the court case, it certainly seems Mr. Reiser was making very hyperbolic accusations (adultery, bondage, drugged by ecstacy, and so on).
This was a default judgment. They might have a decent chance to set aside the judgment and defend on the merits. I wonder where the EFF comes down on this?
Isn't Core 2 Duo very energy efficient? I think this was the most exciting aspect of Core 2 Duo. I am so sick of noisy fans, high power usage, and big clunky cases. Give me high performance, low power, and quiet. This is the future of personal computing.

Damn -- I think I bought one of these. Any ideas on how to tell if it's fake? Should I demand a genuine replacement? Refund?

Jason Hoffman's talk at RailsConf also looked at scaling Rails apps. The slides are available in PDF format.

Nexenta.
Zones, ZFS, D-Trace, real ability to use multiple cores and lots of RAM. Some awesome stuff there.

Yes. Hopefully they'll have a CDMA version in the works. I'm chained to Sprint ATM.

I think this was done already, but Google is letting me down. Can't find anything to back up this recollection.
This is certainly a disaster for everyone involved. :(

Also, you left out ZFS.
Unless they install this update.
This was a default judgment. They might have a decent chance to set aside the judgment and defend on the merits. I wonder where the EFF comes down on this?
You mean like the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)?
Not always true. There are types of cases where the loser must pay attorneys fees, and circumstances where the court may award them.
