  1. Re: Rick And Morty on A=A on Man Caught Wearing Earbuds With a Dead Phone Found Guilty of Distracted Driving (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In those jurisdictions, is it then illegal for the hearing impaired to drive?

  2. Website app that populates from Facebook export? on We Should Replace Facebook With Personal Websites (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I see that you can now specify JSON as the export format for your Facebook data dump. So we just need a website app that uses that data as its source, and allows federation between all such sites.

  3. My childhood - Usborne books on Kids Think the Darndest Things About How Computers Work (acm.org) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is where and how I started my love affair with computing.
    Back in '84 my school library got a few Usborne books in stock - a year before we had access to a computer :-D That didn't stop me reading the cover-to-cover many times over :-D

  4. 1. Fox does not produce Family Guy, they don't determine the content
    2. The take down process is automated by spidering YouTube content and searching for matching digital signatures of images. The legal firm that Fox employees blindly listens to the algorithm and submits the requests

  5. Re:I just discovered NewRelic ... on Ask Slashdot: Remote Server Support and Monitoring Solution? · · Score: 1

    To that point ... I installed it on 11 servers in 14 day "Pro" trial period. Sales guy contacted me by email, we exchanged 3 emails since I will be subscribing in the future but when I told him that I'm happy with free tier for now, there was no further push from their side. Since then I'm up to 30 servers and loving it.

    FYI: Server monitoring is a side product of theirs. Their main product is app stack monitoring - great for finding failures and bottlenecks in PHP, Ruby, Java apps etc

  6. I just discovered NewRelic ... on Ask Slashdot: Remote Server Support and Monitoring Solution? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Check out www.newrelic.com - even their free service tier offers great features and it's easy to deploy on all servers

  7. Legal internet offerings are hamstrung ... on Internet Killed the Satellite Radio Star · · Score: 1

    .. by distribution rights.

    I'm from South Africa and I could at least make use of Sirius for great programming. I try Pandora and I get a message telling me that it's not available outside of the USA.

  8. Gel bags and terror threat on Sony Develops Fluid-Filled Bags For Hard Disks · · Score: 1

    Great idea... but all I can focus on are the 4 hours of airport security checks in which I will have to dismantle my portable media player, notebook and cellphone , remove their gel bags and toss them in a dirt bin before I can check in to my flight *sigh*
