I would disagree with the initial premise that it's about the pursuit of "perfect sound reproduction". There's many people who do that, but that's not what the audiophile world really has become. It's about a bunch of hand waving and big ch

You should watch the film (Queen of Versailles). It's clear that 1) he's completely devoid of a soul; 2) he exploited the cheap money thing knowingly to build his business on subprime loans and didn't care who got hurt in the process (see #

I don't know anyone who uses it, so I'm just not sure how this is a disappointment to anyone. Seems like trying to make a big deal out of Apple removing something nobody used. Also Apache is still installed on the machine, so you can run it

I really like the "I'm sure I can find SOMETHING to throw at him". Also, isn't he basically engaging in slander by accusing Matthew of orchestrating these attacks? Everything I've seen the only thing he orchestrated was charity.

You are presuming that the TSA will ever reveal what "standard procedures" are. They're whatever justifies their current behavior, but you can't know, you dirty hippie, because that's national security.

This isn't new. Cisco hasn't really had a lot of success with their own products, but has had a lot of success buying other companies and re-labling them into the Cisco ecosystem. I've been a customer of some of those companies and it's al

So, we'll just ignore the Dynabook in 1968 that precedes them all? Having an idea is about 0.001% of "invention". The rest is all the "little details".

As with AWS, it's a gamble as to whether it will be there when you need it. I'm always nervous of all-you-can-eat plans. All it takes is a small estimate mistake to blow an entire business plan. N.B. I've been using Arq since it first came

I get the feeling that you're both right and wrong. Right in that a lot of the legacy Amazon code is probably burdened with huge technical debt. I also get the feeling they're pushing the boundaries in other areas. A bit of the "chase the s

The difficulty sometimes in comparing is, as this post points out, people don't include all the "other" costs that often dwarf the hardware costs. Power, cooling, bandwidth, etc., all cost money, and when you're not buying a lot of them, th

Actually, no... you have to be pretty ignorant to be subject to them. Use bind variables in your queries and you are done. That it's still one of the top 2-3 exploits tells you how horrible most developers really are.
