Another vote for Golden Moon here. I have been using them for about 2 years now. Good tea at reasonable prices. Plus when you buy the bigger sizes (once you find the flavors you li…

Just a fantastic read. I am amazed that they were able to build all this stuff by hand whereas millions was spent by US and Russians for similar setups. Also, I couldn't imagine be…

Interesting, it looks like prices are cheaper at the iBookStore than the direct purchases of the eBook from the O'Reilly store (not I only checked 3 books, but all were $2 to $3 ch…

Yes, I believe they are engaged now (can't find a confirmation link though). Also, I think a lot of people need to remember the movie only goes through 2005-ish when they got their…

Even if it did, would it matter? It is $2500 per transaction. I am sure it would only take 2 or 3 transactions for him to sell $100M worth of shares since there are so many people …

I am not a lawyer, but I think this idea sounds the most reasonable. As a side effort in case they do not like the proposal as drafted, you could maybe give them 2% (or some other …

I agree, a very hateful thread when the guy was just thanking the community for the help and ideas/motivation they gave him. With that said, I think I agree with the less hateful c…

My gut feeling is they keep building because otherwise they go out of business. If they can open a development and slowly build a few houses (and get them sold) then they can conti…

I am not positive myself, but I believe that Greenplum and/or Netteza are built on top of Postgres (highly customized) DB engines to ensure their transactional integrity across the…

Not only that, you would be amazed at how many people who have done something wrong end up with a guilty conscience and just tell the truth. Especially if there was something wrong…

Note, not a hack, just a friendly piece of advice... Unless you plan to live in the same place for at least 5 years, do not buy, keep renting/leasing. A few years ago, you could bu…

Interesting, it worked with no issues for me and I am not a member (confirmed as it still shows the "log in" link at the top).

While I am not positive with whether I agree or disagree with your lunch hour statement. I would like the test re-done, but in Europe or Brazil, just not the USA. At multiple point…

True, but hopefully if they are allowing unofficial apps, the official one will be allowed. If it is not allowed by Apple again, maybe the "clarification" promise of the new App St…

Very interesting, I wonder how many people read about that issue and then went and checked their backups. Heck, I actually verified the backups on my home network after reading abo…

The way I read it was the problem was corruption inside the database and the warm backup was corrupted during the automatic mirroring before they noticed the problem. So at that po…

To be fair, Chrome beta channel is still v6 series (6.0.472.59 beta). The dev channel is v7 series already though I believe.

I think that is one of the more thorough accounts of that system I have seen published. All in one paragraph no less.

I totally agree on the knives. If you want easy brownie points I recommend purchasing for your mother (or father if he does the cooking) a set a nice knives for the Holidays or bir…

Also, if you are married (or committed to your SO) and you have 2 incomes in the household, then $2k/month is actually a good amount of dough. It is probably getting in the zone of…

I use Instapaper all the time. When I have 5 minutes before a meeting at work or early in the morning before I leave the house. The main thing I do is when I only have a small amou…

Remember, not everyone lives in the Bay Area. ;-) Depending on where you live and if you have roommates, the $2k per month may be enough to pay rent, bills, college loans and leave…

Yes, and that irks me. I can hide almost everything else in that side-bar. But this is mandatory taking up vertical space on my vertically challenged (widescreen) monitor. Grrr.

I am very interested in the Google Cloud print one. I love the ability to have printers all work with my phone, laptop, ipad whatever around my house without having to have a netwo…

I agree with that sentiment. Every few months when I have some down time, I go through each feed and toss ones that are posting too much. It also allows me to toss ones that I adde…
