In Formula 1 the FIA (rule-makers and enforcers) often seem to give penalties to ensure the title fight goes to the last race. Hamilton in Spa 2008 and Alonso in Monza 2006 are exa…

Pretty cool, but it needs the ability to pitch up/down to be useful.

Too late for me - I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 instead of an HTC Sensation precisely because of the locked bootloader.

mmap is how the Varnish web cache works - the cache files is mmaped in, and the kernel does the rest. Given the awesome performance of Varnish, I am surprised more applications hav…

In the UK the liability of directors is limited to the nominal value originally invested (usually £100).

Manchester/Warrington borders here (Birchwood). Cheap office space + quick train journey to the centre of Manchester.

TLDR; It's marginally faster than the Boxster architecture, but slower than the Carrera architecture.

And no doubt the phishers are already cooking up emails to this effect too...

You could if you put your money in Icelandic banks ;)

Who benefits from IE9 being available for other platforms? Not users. What would the ability to run IE9 add to the Linux or Mac desktop? Another web browser? Do we really need one?…

Anyone got any ideas why the strangely specific size of 613MB RAM?

Yup, thenine.ca is blocking coral cache for .mp3 :(

Great, except for when your users DNS resolvers cache the DNS entry longer than they're supposed to (many resolvers ignore TTL), and are unable to reach your site.

I run a company that provides sysadmin consultancy, and we deal with problems like this on a pretty regular basis. We're not on your continent, but would still be happy to help. ht…

I don't have Windows, but use KeePassX and KeePassDroid to share the password DB between Linux and my Android phone (via Dropbox) and it works great.
