Visual changes are an easy feather-in-the-cap for both front-end developers and for management. A design overhaul is immediately obvious to everyone. It's something you can show of…

Not a whole lot. The fastest CPUs will net you less than 100 MH/s [0]. The fastest single-card GPU configurations will net you around 1,000 MH/s [0]. The current total hash rate is…

Until you convince those CAs to start signing for code, they still cost $400+. And remember, that's per year. The driver will continue to function after that year, but they will ei…
