Black Butte Porter all the way.

I think you can catch a swatter the same way somebody would swat you. Get the address information for their IP address.

Science dictates it would come from a fertilized Kotaku censor fish egg.

Great tip. I've heard of short-stroking but didn't know how easy it was. I'm curious if you have to factor in the formatting software (i.e. do any programs format from the in-side to the out-side?) In fact, this makes it look so easy that I'm curious why hard drive manufacturers don't just use a "short stroke" design…

Great mouse. Excellent battery life. Readily available anywhere. You will never want another mouse again. +1

Content Delivery Networks work great for content providers because they provide content in a better way and do relieve network congestion. Their servers have a closer connection to customers. When you're working around networking limitations, this increases infrastructure and also innovates how content is delivered to…

$250 OFF Macbook Airs, not $250 Macbook Airs.

Ahh, see, I wasn't actually doing real maths on the itemized list. I just looked at the receipt, justified the guesstimation and called it $1000. An expression, and a conservative exaggeration, plus a "glass" is an amorphous measurement. Most places where I see wine on the booze list, it's about a quarter of a 750ml…

I can appreciate that logic. I'll concede to the possibility.

Sorry, I wasn't making a inference. The tax is about 15% regardless the gratuity. I would find it strange for a restaurant to not include a gratuity on the entire bill. It's not only bad business sense, but if you have patrons who can afford to spend ~$50(f)K on alcohol, you have patrons who can afford to tip ~17-19%…

It can't just be me but...

(I didn't get to look at this before the mystery was solved but) surely somebody should have noticed the ~3% "auto gratuity"? And that makes the tax rate a whopping 15% which is found nowhere I know.

Go maths.

BTW that article is pretty helpful, and a bit relieving reassurance that Apple is in the SSD era, but "selectively enabling" TRIM still seems sketchy to me. To each his own.

TRIM basically does the second half of the job of true file deletion on SSDs. You "delete" a file when you "delete permanently", at which point the SSD marks the data "deleted" and will not report the file to the file system. TRIM does the second half which is *actually deleting* the data. Without TRIM, your SSD will…

Unless you can use the terminal to manually enable TRIM on the drive (like you can with Linux), that's very disappointing to hear. Apple is a great company that makes great hardware and software, but sometimes they do some things that seem very illogical. Granted, I would imagine performing a controller bypass on any…

Does Mac OS X not come with TRIM capabilities? Or does it do it differently somehow? I'm under the impression that TRIM irreversably deletes data and makes data recovery impossible. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If you never switch, your odds are 33.333%. If you always switch, your odds are 66.666%. If you switch half of the time, your odds would be 50%. 50% is the average of 1/3 and 2/3, but that doesn't mean it doesn't make a difference, when you have three choices. Always switching gives you the best results.

There is third alternative: He was single. It would certainly seem that the rests of the books in the biblical canon report that he was single, unmarried, and not gay. Not all people get married, and some of those people are celibate.

I don't think AsusWRT's (or Merlin's variant's) UI directly allows for doing reverse proxies. However, the repositories for optware/entware should have a suitable application for setting something like that up. If it exists for DD-WRT, it probably exists for merlin's AsusWRT. The entware repo is pretty extensive, so…

It doesn't require DD-WRT or Tomato to increase its utility, but I would highly recommend checking out Merlin's Asus WRT builds, since they keep the normal user interface but increase the options, including remote management via ssh (the stock firmware uses insecure telnet), and it doesn't require nearly the amount of…

That's kinda not fair, since Josh left and started the Chariot, which is(was) probably the most consistently best live act I've seen live. Norma Jean is fun too though, just saw them 11/23, my ears are still ringing.
