..they'd roll an integrated way into on-premise AD to actually use strong passwords, instead of just keeping it behind an Azure paywall.

I got lucky and was picked for the beta program in KC. The line coming out of the Google router is 2.5Gbs (who even knew that was a standard?). If you are looking at getting new nics and switches, that'd be the way to go (and much cheaper than 10Gb).

Umm, pretty sure 24GB RAM cost way less than Win 2008 R2. And also pretty sure FreeNAS doesn't require a high power i7. I don't have any recent experience with FreeNAS though. I can't fathom running a Windows Server at home (other then in a lab environment), but I know Linux, and can configure a server to do what I need pretty quickly and easily. If you are better in Windows than more power to you.

Except that they aren't. From their faq: Citi Bike is funded through private capital, sponsorship agreements, and revenues from users.

I never considered it expensive - I pay for an annual pass (although I just now noticed it got bumped up $50). So even at $150, given that I ride an average of 2 trips per day (year round), that's less than $0.20 per ride, compared to the $3 subway ride I no longer take. On top of that, I'm pretty sure citibike isn't city-funded.

I ride the bikes pretty much year round. The cold weather isn't really that big of a deal if you have gloves, and some kind of face mask. If you don't, then you'll freeze to death.

He's refering to when you are forced to use powershell, because the gui doesn't support feature X. It is great the Windows is moving towards a command linable setup. It sucks that they are dropping support for non-command line administration.

Article isn't very clear - are they referring to softraid, fakeraid, and/or hardware raid?

What is this, backwards day?

How so? It's free as in 'doesn't cost anything until you start shelling out for DLC', which is pretty much the case with all FTP games.

I may be a little fuzzy on the exact details, but Koush made an app for local file streaming, using the SDK. Some time after, the ChromeCast itself started requiring apps to be signed to run, so you could only run the dozen in the Google Play Store. Then for awhile the CC was nothing more than a Netflix streaming device.

It was written as if someone pushed it through Google translate, deleted some random characters, printed it out, ate it, and crapped it onto a keyboard. I do hope we get some badass apps for the Chromecast though. It has a lot of potential.

OpenERP is pretty damn feature complete

I'll second this. We used this to replace Exchange in house years ago, and it runs great. We've got 350 users on it right now running Outlook / Webmail / ActiveSync / BES / etc, with the system still running nice and fast.

Just replace the heatsink on an AMD with the frozen turkey. In about 15 minutes you'll have a fully cooked turkey.
