I don't know why Sid gets the bad rap that it does. I run it on my Sheevaplug, I've run it on a few other machines. I've had maybe 1-2 problems and they were all fixed within a day.
Diaspora will become popular by means of geeks. I can shoot anywhere between ~100 photos at family events to ~1000+ photos for a Rugby tournament. I even wrote a script to make it easy to upload photos to Facebook from my headless server.
If I start uploading my photos to diaspora and telling people that's where they are. I guarantee I can get a few people to join.
That, or Diaspora will be populated by my friends that were first on facebook. In the days before the wall and live stalker feed.
“But that wasn’t enough for the TSA supervisor who was called to the scene and asked me to put my clothes on so I could be properly patted down.”
The statement by the TSA goes to show that it is a complete joke. It's probably the largest single employer of non-HS graduates outside of Walmart. All they know how to do is follow a mental checklist, anything that deviates from that confuses them.
When I flew to India they had just as much (and more) security. The actual threat of a bomb was much greater but they probably had 1/3rd as many workers and numerous faster checkpoints. In America there is 1 'do or die' scanner and then another check for a ticket at the gate.
In India they won't even let you in the building unless your flight leaves within the next 3 hours, don't bother showing up early. Every door is staffed by military. Full gun and uniform, you don't get into the building unless you have a ticket. (Sorry hopeless romantics). Then there is the main body/carry-on scanner. Your carry on gets a tag stamped. You get passed through. But you're still in Purgatory. You have to got through another scanner / ticket check to get out to the gates. Then at the gate they check for the carry-on stamp & ticket. Finally, they won't let you OFF the plane and into the airport unless you have your ticket.
The whole process went so fast, I don't think I waited for more than 3-4 people before I went through. Every single person was military. In shape and carrying a weapon, military.
Compared to O'Hare. Where walking up and down the promenade were a group of 3 TSA "Employees" talking about their boyfriends. Walking 3 wide they had to take up 1/2 the aisle. When we asked a simple question (Can we get food without going through security again) they had no clue. I got better help out of someone that barely spoke English.
TSA is a joke, there are better methods out there implemented by countries where terrorism is a REAL threat (Israel, India, etc).
Like Sleep? I can't count the number of times I've been stuck with programming logic, math word problems, etc. I'll stare at it until I can't make any more sense of it, go to bed. Wake up and within 30 seconds have the solution.
Someone should setup their own DTella server. It's some pretty slick software that you can limit to on campus IP addresses.
The downloads there are only for the Purdue Campus, but you can setup your own server. They have some pretty complex IP allow rules. For example you can't use the wireless network between 8 & 5. Nothing off campus. Certain buildings etc. It doesn't count against off campus band width usage. Minimum share requirements, etc.
I've hit 40MB/s from some computer labs (that have GigE) with my laptop. Hands down better than any P2P service out there in terms of speed.
They do it in India too. They had a hook at the end of a long pole. With a tiny inverter to power saws and other stuff. They were building a new Hotel.
Say you want to go back and look at your resume as it was 4 months ago. Or you're working on a project and you want to see what it looked like before you made a big change.
I haven't missed my DVD once since I installed mine. I take that back, someone wanted me to burn them a DVD. I looked at them and asked what a DVD was.
None of my media is on optical disks. OpenSolaris and XBMC comprise my home media center/server. I have USB boot drives.
I have a 100GB SSD that OS X boots off of and a 640GB that sits where my DVD used to. I couldn't imagine going back or having it any other way.
OS X just... boots. From Apple Logo to login screen is amazingly fast (compared to how it used to be).
Reminds me of my first 'hacking' of the school computers. They were locked down, and relatively well. You could only launch Netscape. There was nothing in the start menu (Running Windows 95).
However, you could reconfigure Netscape to launch any number of 'handlers'. Well I set up the telnet handler to be the Windows Explorer. (The app that launches separate from the desktop lets you browse through the files and such).
Type in "telnet://" sure enough, windows explorer launched and I could do what ever I wanted. I had hidden folders of... archived images.
Oh the good ole days. This was ~1999-2000ish.
And doesn't this also require you to have Skype installed?
Is damn near the best DVR solution I've ever seen or used. Only downside is you can't watch stuff "live" or catch up like you can with current DVRs.
And depending on your ethics and federal law you can: feel bad about it, even though it's legal. not feel bad about it because it's legal. feel bad about it, because it's illegal. not feel bad about it, even though it's illegal.
$10 one time payment to NZBMatrix has suited me well over a year. There are also other free providers. And if you're a risk taker (in the US) then you can also use it for torrents. But Torrents don't give me near the speed, plus you're technically uploading with them, so you could get nasty grams.
It's not the 'ooo shiny' products that everyone knows Apple for, but their Server OS is quite good. As are some of their clustering capabilities.
After trying to setup a linux cluster, XGrid is nothing short of Magic. It's a check box in a system control panel. You can let anyone use a computer or password protect it. Buy 1+ Macs. Check "Allow for use on XGrid" (and even set to only use when it's been idle). Anytime you compile something in XCode, all other available Macs will be used. No setting up which servers to use in a.distcc file.
Their Server OS is also pretty polished. I know the hard core command line junkies think that everything should be done with vi/emacs and only configured from there. But not everyone wanting to run a server has that expertise. If I had to suggest a server to a friend for a small home business. I'd suggest the MacMini Server. Mail, Web, Jabber, OS Updates, Time Machine, etc.
I suggest checking it out (not sure if they have the server OS setup in any Apple Store) before knocking it.
Debian Sid is "the" bleeding edge. (Or if you're sadistic, experimental). Ubuntu is out of date the day it is released because of the way they insist on 'locking' to a version of software (minus bug fixes).
Ubuntu 10.04 will never get anything other than 2.6.32. (Unless you do extra ppas, etc). All software, alsa, nvidia drivers, everything are locked to what ever shipped with 10.04.

What about the biker that was asked to get redressed so that he could be patted down.

Federal Ships. Have them sail under the US flag and be staffed by the Navy.
"During its service,NS Savannah consumed 163 pounds of uranium, the equivalent of 29 million gallons of fuel oil."
29 MILLION GALLONS.
And when Joe Farmer runs his backhoe through your Fiber line? Send everyone home for the day? Tell your clients that their media is stuck on Amazon?
"Every so often"? I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's probably built regularly around once a year. Usually around the same time to boot.

Sounds pretty close to a reboot to me.
What's the ingredients list say for my CPU?
Yes

That's because no on one expected that, at least from the Spanish.
Quit using Ubuntu and their "We're going to lock to this" philosophy.
Run Debian Testing or Unstable. pin to Testing but install Firefox untable.
Debian is much much easier to work with in this regards than Ubuntu.
He'll get around to it right after "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" is on and he watches the latest "American Idol" with his wife.
I meant transformer since power lines aren't 220 and the saws they were using were.
They do it in India too. They had a hook at the end of a long pole. With a tiny inverter to power saws and other stuff. They were building a new Hotel.
Not just that, it includes snapshots.

invested heavily in Digg and Twitter
he has a decent track record there.
So which is it?
$10/month will get you unlimited Astraweb. Or a 180GB chunk for $25 should last you at least a year if all you want it for is TV shows.
SickBeard +
SABnzbd +
XBMC

Nah. By starting out in Korean classrooms you can more or less guarantee that none of them will be named Sarah Connor.

How the hell do they get home? Parents are still at work at 3.
