Are you talking about mikeselectricstuff? I watch that channel too!

Youtube speed test won't tell you anything as youtube content tends to be cached locally at your ISP by GGC (Google Global Cache).

I'm sorry, what?

The parent said he is 6'3 and I can sympathize as I am also 6'3. There is literally NO ROOM for the person in front to recline, my knees are already jammed hard into his seat and getting bruised. The gap in between seats is too small.

Now on longhaul flights (between Aus/NZ and the US) economy seats DO have more room and even fully reclined I fit fine. (It's still a small uncomfortable space, but my legs are no longer being fucking crushed like on shorthaul flights in the US.)

I literally could not fit my legs into the space infront of me on an LAX to SFO light. It's ridiculous.

Flying in economy is only for short people now....

Tox? What happened to BitTorrent Chat? I though the bittorrent folks themselves were making a secure decentralised chat client, it even made news on slashdot once.

The Opportunity (MER-B) Rover landed on Mars January 25, 2004. More than 10 years later, it is still going strong even though it, too, was only expected to perform a 3 month (90 day) mission.

The success and longevity of the earlier Mars rover missions sort of sets expectations that future missions will last just as long....

We of course realise that is not possible. Plenty of missions end early, Spirit (MER-A) got its wheel stuck and got in trouble years ago but Opportunity keeps on running and sets unrealistically high expectations of Curiosity and future missions.

Have more than one bank account?

Preferably in more than one country? I have bank accounts in 3 countries: Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. I can use my plastic card from any bank/country anywhere I go.

Works for me.

Never had a problem with a bank account getting "frozen".

I haven't carried cash in like 10 years. I just never use it.

This is living in Australia, and then in New Zealand for the past 5 years.

In New Zealand road side fruit sellers accept cards. Literally EVERYONE accepts cards, because everyone uses cards.

Cash is pretty much dead here.

Actually.... yeah, we do.

Just because YOU don't give a shit doesn't mean other people don't.

whalah is not a word.... seriously. wtf people. It's voilÃ.

As for ZFS, sure, I recommend ZFS. But I'm not sure how i feel about ZFS's dedupe. Besides, the multiple files are still there even if it no longer takes up extra space.

You'd want a script that finds dupes by hash but that will only detect images that are identical copies, not 'simliar' say an image has been cropped or retouched or resized. A program that can find image dupes even with changes like tineye.com would be ideal. Anything like that exist?

We were planning to buy a bunch of flex system chassis... (after all, bladecenter is now obsolete and replaced by flex.)

Guess we'll be looking at HP now.

In this day and age there is no excuse to not have done your research before hand.

Any time you plan to move somewhere (whether renting or buying but especially if you're buying a home) find out what is available for internet at that address.

In NZ we're rolling out fibre to the premises over most of the country but there are lots of places that get screwed and will probably never get it, so RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH.

Property that can't get decent internet should be worth less because it will forever be less appealing.

New Zealand and Australia.

Windows 2000 was not a server OS, but it was marketted as a business desktop OS.

At the end of the day though, Windows XP *WAS* Windows 2000 + that annoying blue/green skin + DirectX.

That's it.

I'm somewhat shocked that 1 in 7 american's is dependent on foodstamps to get by...

Ross was an idiot who gave away his identity when he first started working on silkroad (forum posts asking for help) and many otherr mistakes, poor opsec, hiring hitmen (cops in disguise), and ordering fake ids (another trap) and much more. He didn't even use tor to connect to the silkroad server in iceland which led to that being located and imaged as well.

Ross was truly and idiot and its amazing how long it took LE to find and catch him at all as he was not trying to stay hidden at all.

That said, SilkRoad is still up and doing very well.
