The F-22 is the hot promqueen everyone wants to bang. The F-35... that thing's her chubby niece who complains about everything and only people with a fetish like :D

It does. I bought a few aftermarket (not made by Apple) magsafe chargers off Amazon Germany a few weeks ahead of getting a new laptop. (special promotion and they cost less than half of Apple chargers)

Truth be told, there are far worse vulnerabilities that remain either undiscovered or are already known but remain unfixed. Heartbleed and Shellshock merely generated lots of buzz, with most of the reporting done in mainstream-media written by people who have absolutely no clue, creating lots of FUD.

With free open…

It saddens me to say the events after the MH17 incident made it painfully clear how necessary it is to have deceased relatives' credit cards frozen.

- A large touchpad (that massive touchpad on macbooks is kickass)
- A dual-mode (wired & wireless) gaming mouse (Razer naga epic for my desktop and Razer Orochi for laptop). Comfortable, wireless freedom when you want it and a standard wired usb-mouse (no extra drivers needed) when batteries are dead or you need to…

I'm a sysadmin too, but I'm also a train commuter and an amateur photographer. My bag doesn't contain nearly this much stuff even though I like to be prepared.

Same things as on any OS: use strong passwords (or key authentication), stay off shady websites, keep everything up-to-date, turn off anything you don't need. Have services like SSH, FTPS,... listen on a nonstandard port if you wanna go the extra mile and disallow root login. Also install antiviral and antimalware…

Beating the land speed record

I have quiet hours set in Android and on my Pebble. They won't make a noise during the night unless I'm being called (should the on-call engineer need me for whichever reason), or the built-in alarm clocks go off. (vibrations on the wrist work surprisingly well to wake me up)

Furthermore, micro-usb being a god-awful…

I agree. Especially the music did it for me. Martin O' Donnell was spot on with the jazzy music.

Love mine, a time capsule is a must-buy if you own one or more macs. I'm positively impressed by the 802.11ac speeds and it's quite faster for backing up than rolling my own time machine (linux home server with AFP)

Hang on, let me fire up my boot camp through Parallels so I can launch VLC Media Player in a virtualized Windows environment, after downloading it with IE because it naturally doesn't exist for OSX nor Linux.

Let me turn off my sarcasm capacitor for a minute: I haven't used IE for anything other than downloading…

Comforting to know everybody's gonna die along with me.

Sitting down in front of a Linux-desktop or VM with a cheat sheet by your side and trying to do as much as possible from a command-line. Start with basic file navigation and management, keeping in mind Linux treats everything, even physical devices, as files that (provided the permissions are there) can be read from…

Heh, awesome, I still learned Borland Turbo Pascal in high school. Fun little language.

I concur. Not my favourite for creating tools overall, but it's a great starting point for learning the basics of programming and object oriented design.

A backpack full of cables and consumer electronics can be a dangerous place for a bare SSD :) The shell only serves as a suit of armor. Plus it makes connecting the USM adapters something that can be done without looking.

I prefer a little protection around my SSD. It's expensive enough as-is :)

I use that one. Expensive as hell, but damn that performance is nice when I use it with an SSD.

Yep. In fact, it's the very reason I nominated it and really the only major argument I gave for the FreeAgent/Goflex/Backup Plus series. I'm rocking an SSD in a Backup Plus 2.5" enclosure and a thunderbolt adapter for my notebook. Probably the fastest external drive on the planet.
