Another vote for Golden Moon here. I have been using them for about 2 years now. Good tea at reasonable prices. Plus when you buy the bigger sizes (once you find the flavors you like in the starter kit) the leftover tins work for random

Just a fantastic read. I am amazed that they were able to build all this stuff by hand whereas millions was spent by US and Russians for similar setups. Also, I couldn't imagine being watched by the KGB back in the day. It must have been

Interesting, it looks like prices are cheaper at the iBookStore than the direct purchases of the eBook from the O'Reilly store (not I only checked 3 books, but all were $2 to $3 cheaper). I wonder if this is just an initial sale or if it w

Yes, I believe they are engaged now (can't find a confirmation link though). Also, I think a lot of people need to remember the movie only goes through 2005-ish when they got their 1,000,000th member and Sean Parker was forced out after the

Even if it did, would it matter? It is $2500 per transaction. I am sure it would only take 2 or 3 transactions for him to sell $100M worth of shares since there are so many people hot on being in at the floor (what they think is the floo

I am not a lawyer, but I think this idea sounds the most reasonable. As a side effort in case they do not like the proposal as drafted, you could maybe give them 2% (or some other number) of equity in any new entity you create to run with

I agree, a very hateful thread when the guy was just thanking the community for the help and ideas/motivation they gave him. With that said, I think I agree with the less hateful comments that Google bought the programmers behind the startu

My gut feeling is they keep building because otherwise they go out of business. If they can open a development and slowly build a few houses (and get them sold) then they can continue to build out the development. Based on those pictures an

I am not positive myself, but I believe that Greenplum and/or Netteza are built on top of Postgres (highly customized) DB engines to ensure their transactional integrity across their clustered servers.

Not only that, you would be amazed at how many people who have done something wrong end up with a guilty conscience and just tell the truth. Especially if there was something wrong going on here and the FBI hangs the "first to tell me what

Note, not a hack, just a friendly piece of advice... Unless you plan to live in the same place for at least 5 years, do not buy, keep renting/leasing. A few years ago, you could buy and sell multiple times and each time not lose money beca

Interesting, it worked with no issues for me and I am not a member (confirmed as it still shows the "log in" link at the top).

While I am not positive with whether I agree or disagree with your lunch hour statement. I would like the test re-done, but in Europe or Brazil, just not the USA. At multiple points, the article seems to be pointing out in so many words t

True, but hopefully if they are allowing unofficial apps, the official one will be allowed. If it is not allowed by Apple again, maybe the "clarification" promise of the new App Store rules will officially tell Google what Apple doesn't lik

Very interesting, I wonder how many people read about that issue and then went and checked their backups. Heck, I actually verified the backups on my home network after reading about this yesterday.

by etm117 16y ago
The way I read it was the problem was corruption inside the database and the warm backup was corrupted during the automatic mirroring before they noticed the problem. So at that point, both the PROD and Failover instance are busted once th

To be fair, Chrome beta channel is still v6 series (6.0.472.59 beta). The dev channel is v7 series already though I believe.

I think that is one of the more thorough accounts of that system I have seen published. All in one paragraph no less.

I totally agree on the knives. If you want easy brownie points I recommend purchasing for your mother (or father if he does the cooking) a set a nice knives for the Holidays or birthday one year. You will be a hero the first time they cut

Also, if you are married (or committed to your SO) and you have 2 incomes in the household, then $2k/month is actually a good amount of dough. It is probably getting in the zone of quit your day job money if you have further plans for your

I use Instapaper all the time. When I have 5 minutes before a meeting at work or early in the morning before I leave the house. The main thing I do is when I only have a small amount of time, I scan my normal sites for interesting article

Remember, not everyone lives in the Bay Area. ;-) Depending on where you live and if you have roommates, the $2k per month may be enough to pay rent, bills, college loans and leave some left over for spending money.

Yes, and that irks me. I can hide almost everything else in that side-bar. But this is mandatory taking up vertical space on my vertically challenged (widescreen) monitor. Grrr.

I am very interested in the Google Cloud print one. I love the ability to have printers all work with my phone, laptop, ipad whatever around my house without having to have a networked printer setup and the correct drivers, etc.

I agree with that sentiment. Every few months when I have some down time, I go through each feed and toss ones that are posting too much. It also allows me to toss ones that I added because they had an interesting post 3 months ago, but h

I wonder if they see it as using the free (non-gApps) accounts to vet out the new features first rather than risk breaking paying customers accounts with new features that have random bugs that they did not catch in internal testing.

Johns Hopkins University researchers did a video where they got the RFID code from one of those gasoline auto-passes that you put on your keychain. It was a video where they sit next to someone with the RFID pass in their pocket, scan it w

I love the idea as I agree it is difficult to keep in the loop during the day with the volume of posts. One quick request though, would it be possible in the RSS feed to send the entire post and not just the first ~125 characters?

Yes, but it goes to the levels of the students in the class. A lower level class is not the teachers fault (or may not be, and realistically is prior year's teachers, parents, and other outside influences), but it will limit the teacher fr

This is truly great. I hope the teacher(s) are doing a bunch of follow-up work teaching about how and why this worked. Also use that interest to drive into other topics such as how the balloon gets its lift versus a rocket engine. This ty
