Does it absolutely need to be brand new? I typically buy my Macs refurbished. Or being in NY, if you are developer, hunt down an ST.121-3 form and get it tax free. Either route will probably save you quite a bit. Next, take into account res

I have gone the complete opposite direction of the many questioning who wears a watch anymore. Recently I picked up my first automatic, a Seiko of course. I have worn it for about 2 months now, and am about to tear into it. There are a lot

An AWS micro is designed for burstable CPU loads, i.e. Websites. Performing a CPU intensive task will never do well. Amazon even says this in their own documentation. The second fault I have is that articles like this, is that they only eve

A low price point on commodity hardware certainly doesn't correlate to the hardware industry being dead. If anything it is quite the opposite. With such a low price point, the potential market opens up quite significantly. There become many

Everyone's A zone is different. So I could say A is down while someone else is saying B, and we could be talking about the exact same zone. It makes it difficult to say if it is more widespread or not.

The AWS documentation does a good job explaining the setup. As for multiple ELB's mapping to the same instances, I don't know if this is actually documented, it is just kinda known. It use to require configuration via API/CLI, but appears t

This reminds me when I use to see a ton of resumes which had "TCP/IP, NetBeui and IPX/SPX" listed on them. Of course these were the 3 checkboxes in the Windows control panel. I am sorry but clicking a checkbox does not denote experience wit
