    I was thinking of bananas and banana flavoring too. It may have been a better example than strawberries, but most people don't know how much variety bananas have because they've be…

    Tiny peninsula; Six datacenters The geology of the area seems to make for good cooling and DR sturdiness. One DC is even 500 meters under rock. https://www.datacentermap.com/gibral…

    15 years ago... They had just released a remake in 2008 for the Xbox, so the IP was certainly fresh in their minds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone_(2008_video_game) Did t…

    There are dedicated turnkey vendors these days, so there's no need to get elaborate. All you need is a U of rack or two and enough cash. Example: https://www.accubeat.com/ntp-ptp-t…

    It feels to me like everyone is holding their breath to see how the wholesale "AI can replace people" notion pans out. Whether it proves true or not, betting on the wrong result wi…

    Could be just plain alphabetical. There's a selector for which color name list to use/examine on the bottom of the visualization. There's also a selector for which color space mode…

    Now the problem becomes mobile browsers... (hover vs. tap, tiny resolutions, differences in form controls, sometimes crippled features that work fine in a "pc" based browser, fluid…

    What have you needed out of ANSI SQL that is a gap in its Turing Completeness? Totally serious. A great many things can be dismissed as not being Turing Complete, so please provide…

    These words make me close tab for the site I'm looking at right away: "Click to launch site". I came to your website... shouldn't it have launched already? Oh it's not a website - …

    The phone number and extension is probably what's used to identify where the "sales lead" came from. As for the long-calls, there's probably a minimum connection time before the le…

    Here’s an Apache one-liner I often find myself using. It will list all of the server names and alises that are contained in the active Apache config files on a machine. I’ll go int…

    The more I think about it, the more I realize that of the three pure voxel problems (rendering, animation and collision), rendering is probably the low-hanging fruit - Though I'm n…

    That and I don't know of anyone (outside of using them as particles) that has successfully created collision models with voxels in real time. The collision calculations of just a f…

    POST can be sniffed and is only slightly less vulnerable than GET. HTTPS at a dedicated address should be a minimum level of security for a login form. Anything else is readily vul…
