Yes, it absolutely was firing continuously around 17,000 MPH. Doesn't take long at that speed to get some distance between sats.

Exactly. Another form of brand marketing. I do wonder how/when these started.

I don't see it as a issue / question of whether or not the forks possible success, but the way which the fork is being pushed without wide and near unanimous acceptance (assuming t…

This was an abandoned mining operation from the early 1900's, among thousands of other similar mines across the state.

What's even more concerning to me is the water rights / treaties for the Colorado (Lake Mead) still date back to the 1920's and 1930's.

Also live in Vegas and haven't heard of water bills that high! How frequent were you watering your yard? My total bill with in-ground pool never exceeds $30 / mo. The HOA thing doe…

Wait, it does NFC based payments as well? Huh? Details are buried in the FAQs, mentions it supports AMEX only. There are some duplicate FAQs as well, wonder if that was not ready f…

The entire premise is to regulate the financial companies leveraging bitcoin in NY, not the protocol.

Yes! It's driving me crazy as well.

Mostly apps that take advantage of tracking users via UDID / IDFA and not showing ads. At some level, developers still need a UDID for things like APN.

Unless details of when the due-diligence occurred for the purchase, this point is really moot. I hardly doubt your board decided to drop a cool 3.2B the night before the Nest annou…

Expensive for whom, how exactly do you quantify that? Today we pay fee's to institutions which have massive infrastructure costs (along with their necessary profits). If anything, …

No, this is the kind of thing that happens with a poor application architecture (ie, using one AZ). Sad that companies still can't get this right.

The premise of the issue isn't that they are 'proactively preventing scammers', more to the joke that apparently Facebook and LinkedIn offer any level of verification other than en…

I haven't seen any mention of this yet: how does this impact battery life? Is the front camera on all the time, periodically, only for certain apps, only for certain interfaces of …

Cool, looking forward to watching the projects progress! Quick question: when demonstrating the socket.io piece, one aspect that differs with meteor is their ddp which only sends d…

Except without leveraging those V8 features, we don't have what makes node. The pace of invention today is based on iteration, building upon other successes and similar ideas - and…

If you're using ELB as the parent mentioned, SPDY wont be viable (yet).

> Where did you see that? Are you sure you're not confusing it with the "Ubuntu for Android" project? That is a different project from this. It was mentioned in the keynote video, …

No on the license front. Splunk is way too pricey, IMO. Thanks for posting this! I've been eyeballing logstash for a while but had not run across Kibana's UI. More fun reading ahea…

Date of the first RFC is from 2000. I wouldn't hold my breath. Besides, SPDY enablement simply relies on browser / middleware updates changes which can iterate quickly compared to …

On this note, make shipping times very obvious (ie, with the current date). If I order before 2pm PST, can it be shipped same day? Speaks to the above; drives people to want to ord…

Why not leverage logstash: http://logstash.net/docs/1.1.0/ ? It doesn't have an irc output at the moment, but would be easy to add one. Very flexible tool!
