True. What I don’t get, is how is vacancy a good move for the landlord? Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a tenant during that time?

Providing an avenue that students could (and almost certainly would) use to direct slurs at one another, seems like a surefire way to make things worse. I do share your concerns ab…

I work in tech for a school district. Just the other day, a request came in to unblock a Morse code learning website. Initially I was hesitant as, I was concerned kids could harass…

Neat. The potty mouth adds nothing.

The writing is hard to engage with—possibly trying to be funny, but it comes off as overly antagonistic. Phrases like “—presumably in a conference room with aggressively modern fur…

OK, but the article seems to focus on boot time and not performance afterward. During the netbook craze, it seemed like a big performance boost to remove a hi-res desktop in favor …

OK, but to most folks reading this, the ads on that site probably invaded their privacy to a more substantial level than the NSA will.

I'm not certain what my point is, but I wanted to mention that jumbo frames don't work over the Internet. More of a LAN thing.

Possibly, heading over the pass was the return route to the airfield. (Pure speculation on my part.)

Usenet, in my experience, is reachable through a variety of easy-to-use web-based providers. Easynews, etc... I agree that it's ill-suited in the sense that often the files are spl…

I just wanted to add something I didn't see mentioned in the article or the discussion. In the Christian tradition, figures are often portrayed with their pinky and ring fingers cu…

I work for a school. We reached out to So Cal Edison to ask what percent of the power they deliver comes from non-renewable. They said 40%.

For those looking for some context around Nokia, the service provider for a big WAN I am familiar with (Cox) is all run on Nokia gear. Also, nearly every local police dept I am fam…

Is this the same Squid that is the basis of many comercial web filters? A few years ago I evaluated web filtering hardware and most of the inline solutions on the market were based…

Have you ever seen a modernist piece of art sell for a bunch of money? There's almost always someone who offers "I could do that". But they cannot. And they will not. It is a state…

It's somewhat approached through the concept of Urban Heat Islands. I would also imagine that rocks and mountains store plenty of thermal energy similar to a urban heat island. I d…

It is interesting to note that some states (NY comes to mind) have anti-fortune telling laws on the books. I'll refrain from commenting on the validity of those laws. Likely they a…

A colleague built a building in Abu Dhabi about five years ago. He is still trying get a street address assigned to the building. Navigation instead works based on landmarks. So is…

To add to this, manufacturers (HPE) are now requiring an expensive annual fee in order for customers to use the hardware.

What an interesting cultural transition to live through. Smoking was omnipresent. Already I am having to provide background to younger folks on automotive cigarette lighters and as…

It does not appear to me that the birds dropped from the sky. It seems like, for whatever reason, they flew under their own power directly into the ground and surrounding scenery.

Pick up a pre owned Aruba MST200. Yes, it supports mesh but otherwise it’s a plain old bridge.

It’s amazing how much you can learn from casual friends. Find a person at the office who knows things and offer to buy them a beer. Likely you will gather more from that exchange t…

CheckPoint (and likely other) firewalls can stop phishing via watching http post going north and blocking if looks phishy.
