I still often use a TI-89 I bought in 1999. I also bought my daughter a used TI-86 and she uses it daily. Both are way nicer to use than the calculators on our phones.

I worked a computer store back in the mid 2000s. We got an iMac in that had a busted CRT and the owner just wanted the data moved to a new machine and then gave us the old one to get rid of. I pulled it apart and installed Linux on the 233

I use an Apple USB full-size keyboard from 2008. It is actually my favorite keyboard ever. After years of mostly using laptop keyboards I don't like full height keys anymore.

We pay for RHEL subscriptions but do both. We have large NAS systems but some machines, like our NFS servers, also have large internal RAID setups. We have bumped into EXT3 max file system size issues in the past and had to use XFS on some

Here is a decent article written by Andy Hertzfeld. He was one of the original people working on the Macintosh. The story explains they there were in fact Twiggy drive Macintosh machines but they found the drives expensive and unreliable wh

The glasses are 3D LCD shutter glasses. They sync the frame rate of the shutter to the video output using to the box on top of the monitor. This is a old school version of what the 3D TVs are doing now. We had a whole lab setup with active

One of our supercomputing clusters does run with a shared / and a separate /var that is local to the machine. /var is local to the disk because the nodes are stateless but we would like a persistence store for things like logs.

I just signed up for the beta and it told me that I can use it on February 31st if I sign up two friends. I think someone should take a look at how the dates are being calculated.

I would completely agree if companies had to setup their own shipping infrastructures to ship to these places; but they don't. Companies like FedEx, UPS, etc, already do this for you and they already ship to places like Alaska and Hawaii. J

What I can't believe is this company won't ship anything to Alaska or Hawaii. I don't understand how companies think that is acceptable.

Another question along the same lines is the question of email signing. As a sysadmin I receive large amounts of email asking me to change something on various systems and almost none of them are signed. How am I to know that the real perso
