Managing SSH keys for known service accounts is easy with configuration management tools like Puppet, Chef, or Salt.

Long lost friends wouldn't have to - they'd ask to be your friend first. Once they're your friend, you don't have to pay. This is for when you want to message people you actually aren't friends with.

Well, that's easy to calculate given the specifications listed in the article.

21/9 = 2.33
2560/1080 = 2.37

They're not perfectly square pixels, but close to it.

1998 for me. Our old high school computer lab had it. 35 old Macs running Netscape Navigator 3, all connected via Cat3 to a 10BaseT hub. That collision light never had a chance.

From what I understand regarding Dell's support practices, these laptops include ProSupport. ProSupport is allowed to deviate from the scripts and help you solve the problem.

YMMV.

There's only a small, finite number of movies in theaters at any one time - the article mentioned 1344. If each one were hosted once, that'd be 1344 files. Meanwhile, MegaUpload was hosting files numbering many orders of magnitude beyond that. Therefore, it's possible that both are correct - most files were not piracy related, but there were some that did, and they may have had an effect on the market.

I've not tested Windows 8, but 7 was even easier: Install it once on a bare disk with no key, and then "upgrade" that install. No need to scrounge up a disk from a previous edition.

There's really no point in doing that, though, when the OEM license is roughly the same cost as the upgrade.

App authors can also expect a greater payout from iOS compared with Android, with Apple's mobile operating system delivering developers four times the revenue as their Android counterpart per user, Flurry found.

I don't disagree with you at all; there's tons of apps that are, frankly, garbage. But even if your app is genuinely good, given the amount of "noise" in the store, you must also get lucky to be seen and discovered amongst all of the junk.

That's simple: the walled garden is where the money is.

Considering Apple runs the whole infrastructure from top to bottom (rather than using, say, YouTube or ustream), I highly doubt this would happen.

I believe I've heard that in mobile computing, the largest consumer of power is the LCD screen itself.

I'm also not sure which version of Atom you're referring to, but the original one was paired with such a crappy chipset that it basically negated most of the power savings.

1. What prevents the squatter from maintaining control of the domain and "renting" it to someone else?

2. So if I want to use my company's .com for our publicly accessible services and our .net for networking infrastructure, I can't? But if I want company.com and corporate.net, I'm okay? Seems like an arbitrary restriction that's trivial to get around, but still annoying.

Regarding your "basic doctor" notion, we have one - nurse practitioners.

Why not come up with a similar certification, one that's available under Creative Commons? That way, anyone could actually read the specifications, and you can go so far as to have a third party certify the results, either by self-certifying and having that notarized, or having a trusted third party perform the audit.
