I would believe that Icelandic matters interest the FSB more than the FBI...

They can spin this any way they want, but the only explanation that makes sense is that they were hoping that this operation would at some point lead them to Assange (who had prior contacts with Sabu). Shame on them.

Amazon CloudFront is a lot better than CloudFlare and has supported SSL for years. Plus it's possible to store a website in a S3 bucket, there is no need for a web server. For pennies a month you get an insanely fast website, there is nothing close to it performance-wise. Pricing is around $0.12 per GB of transfer. S3 is about $0.03 per GB of storage per month.

The only complicated thing with a CDN is that since it puts the website in cache, it's more tricky to push updates. Either you wait until the cache expires or pay a small fee to "invalidate" content.

He is clearly not a Swift learner!

No it's not. That's quite the opposite: most cable companies would like to see the CRTC go away because it forces those who have specialized channels (basically every single profitable cable company) to contribute to a big pool of money that public services can tap into to subsidize their ad-free programming (which directly competes with private cable companies) and to pay for content that nobody cares about and that will never make money (a la CSPAN or PBS).

The truth is that the CRTC is mostly a symbolic agency with very little power. They report to the Minister of Canadian Heritage, which has maybe 3 employees and 2 interns. They don't control the frequencies or anything like that.

Gee-Noo is pretty bad, but I've heard worse:

-Lunix
-MySqueal
-System VI (talking about the text editor)
-Batch script (instead of Bash script)

I often hear Genome also but that one I like, I think that's how everyone should say it. Gnome sounds like someone sneezing.

Any experienced sailor will tell you that there is no need to see the hidden part of the iceberg to consider giving it a wide berth.

The guy will upload 3D printer firmware, and demons from Doom will come out of the printer.

Are you implying that Sidekick was not a graphical interface? What about dosshell?

Those were great graphical interfaces, responsive and fluid. I remember switching to a larger monitor and being amazed to see that dosshell was still filling the whole screen. Nowadays you don't get that with those big fancy Apple monitors, people have to use non-maximized windows.

Did you try right-clicking on the Windows logo (former Start menu button) in Windows 8.1? A lot of things in that context menu were tedious to access in previous versions of Windows (such as the event viewer).

With that menu and the pinned icons on the start bar, I only occasionally need to search for another application, and it is a lot faster to use the search bar and type 2-3 letters than it was to deal with multi-level navigation in the old start menu.

The past is always better. I don't know what went wrong at Microsoft to start doing those silly things like "Windows Services" instead of sticking with a proven technology like TSR. Was there even a need for Windows? I'm pretty sure that if there had been no Windows there would be a Sidekick extension available to display twitters and facebooks.

Let's all stop this progress madness NOW and focus instead on the sound principles of the Ordnung.

You have to try something.

1) Get drunk on dark liquor
2) Put on the song "Pick up the pieces" by Candy Dulfer. Loud.
3) Wear your 3D glasses
4) Play Supaplex

This will change your life forever.

Well I also believe that SLI is a Nvidia technology, I just checked and on ATI cards the equivalent was crossfire. I can't tell for sure which one it was, but this is more evidence to the fact that I've been using onboard vga adapters for quite a long time :-)

Most recent operating systems will take care of saving power when the machine is idle, it won't make a noticeable difference what cpu you pick. Look instead at storage: SSD use between 1/3 or 1/4 of the power used by spinners.

Also if you look at energy efficiency buy one of those smart powerbars that will turn off power in groups (e.g. switching off the speakers when the tv is powered off). Something like a LCG5. This will have a much higher impact on your power bill than cherry-picking computer components.

You don't get comfortable quick... Over the last 10 years the only time I've decided to upgrade a mobo videocard was during a drunken weekend when for some reason I felt ashamed of having an item with a 4.5 score on the Windows Experience Index utility - I went out and bought a pair of high-end Radeon (with the SLI thing). About $600 to get a 9.1 score.

Fans were noisy and I was annoyed each time I had to move the computer because I could never tell in which card I should plug the main monitor. But Youtube videos sure looked good.
