I'm holding out for a D-Link Boxbee. It is small, dedicated hardware which supports both online streaming from netflix, hulu and such as well as full support for your local library of video/audio. Should be out this fall.

I'd provide links, but it's easier to just google for it.

Come one... how many people sit in a circle and pass around a cigarette. You all know this is a pot smoking game. They might have well specified the items as 'joint, fatty and bong'.

You are assuming that the question was proposed by a person who likes tightly integrated systems like windows and mac provide. Not everyone does. Some prefer loosely couple and highly customizable systems that they can mold to their style.

Just because you like one thing don't assume everyone does.

I like this relatively new cookie control mechanism. It is simple but effective.

Basic economics. Corps don't pay taxes. Taxes are a cost. Costs get passed on to customers, shareholders and employees. They get passed on to you. You who buy any products made by corporations. You who has money in a 401K, Roth or any form of interest bearing account. You you work for a corporation.

There is no one else. Get over it.

I think the author is being willingly blind for the sake of the story. Looking at the last few hundred years it is obvious that technological advances are working on something of an exponential curve and that they are going at a rate now so much faster than 100 years ago that our perceptions of them have changed. We now see the huge advances as the norm rather than the exception, whereas in the authors referenced time frame we saw relatively small advances as rare and groundbreaking.

Wow, never thought I'd see common sense creep into any courtroom when it came to copyright. Doubt it will last.

I use Level3's anycast dns resolvers. They are fast and work great. Pair them with a local dns cache and you'll be golden.

4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3, 4.2.2.4, 4.2.2.5, 4.2.2.6

In case you don't know about anycast.

This is true as long as you remember that this is not the modern day liberalism. The closest thing in modern day political parlance would be libertarianism.

> Nginx is a threaded web server...

I thought nginx was strictly an async based server like lighttpd? Every resource I find states this and the 2 are often compared due to this.

> I'd like to know where Cherokee and nginx stand.

I think the async based servers are all immune to this as it depends on the limitation of the thread/process overhead on the number of connections that can be handled concurrently.

So nginx should be immune as I know it is async based. I'm not sure about cherokee and can't seem to find any quick answers. But you should be able to find out if you dig a bit.

I can't find a reference to it. Certainly they submitted a bug report. They mention they found it on debian, so it seems like they would have file one.

Yet he just finished paying someone else a lot of money for the same thing. At least this time it wouldn't cost more than his time. Plus he'd have the potential of working with experts in the field he is trying to get into, many of whom work for the companies he'd eventually be trying to get a job at. I'd say it makes perfectly good business sense.
