    Why Mac is the best OS

    iTunes 11 is a user experience nightmare yes, but versions before that I found to be ok-ish. They worked, I could find my music, I could play my music, I was happy. No keyboard shortcuts? Come on.. Something tells me you haven't really tried. I'm using OS X since 10.4 and almost everything can...

    Why Mac is the best OS

    Windows just sucks, I have no other words for it. Especially the IO is just pathetic. I only use windows when I really need to (work). I like Linux on servers a lot, the system itself is lightweight, and extremely flexible. So you can fully use the system for whatever you want. I've tried mac...

    Post your ride

    Ok, sound like you did your research :-). Cars are really taxed into oblivion over here (of every new car you buy almost 40% is tax). But both the prius and the TDIs (all cars that emit less than a defined amount of CO2 per km) benefit from the same tax-reductions. (only 21% VAT) Over here...

    Post your ride

    I think for fuel economy a diesel is a far better idea than those ugly hybrids. For example a VW Golf TDI from 2012 does 60-75mpg, only 10s to go from 0-60 and is way better to look at ;-).

    Thanks, I will give that a try :-).

    Falling off the Grid

    iOS and OS X have had excellent support for CardDAV and CalDAV for years :-). Only platform that doesn't support those two is Windows.. (Both desktop and phone)

    Crossbar - Resistive Ram

    That's max 1TB per chip, I suppose it would be possible to combine multiple chips in one device :-).

    Falling off the Grid

    The webinterface of my openwrt router shows a zone_lan_prerouting thingy which contains a DNAT rule for each of the forwarded ports, rerouting them to their respective internal ipaddresses. But I can't find them in the terminal, iptables isn't really my thing, but most of the other stuff shows...

    Falling off the Grid

    This is a limitation of many home routers, I forgot the specifics but sometimes there's an option in your router settings which you need to enable. edit: http://serverfault.com/questions/26845/unable-to-connect-on-natted-server-from-a-host-computer-on-the-same-lan-using-pu/26851#26851 But it...

    Falling off the Grid

    Zpanel has a bad track record when it comes to security. I even recall one of the developers stating security wasn't relevant or something like that. I moved away from Google services a few years back. - owncloud for caldav/carddav - postfix/dovecot/opendkim/dspam for mail (plain mysql for...

    Home security systems?

    While I believe crime numbers are a little bit lower in the EU, I don't think they differ that much. We do have a more equal distribution of wealth and a (bit expensive) system of social services for the poor, which traditionally prevents people having to steal for a living. Unfortunately the...

    Home security systems?

    Sounds like a safe place to live, that country of yours. Is it common to have a home security system in the USA? Or are you guys being paranoid? :-)

    As a customer I couldn't care less about live chat.

    What was your first computer?

    An AMD 486 running at 40mhz with 4mb memory (upgraded to 20mb at a later point), a 400mb harddrive, some trident isa graphics and of course a 14" color monitor. The computer itself is recycled, but I still have the cpu somewhere :-)

    Overclock your brain today!

    Honestly I think this product isn't likely to improve performance much.    Assuming the stimulation of this device has a significant positive effect, only applying current to the prefrontal cortex is just plain wrong. The human brain is a very complex piece of machinery, every task your brain...

    KS dedicated server or vps?

    Of course. So you would end up with a max of 64800gb for the 100mbit and 648000gb for the 1000mbit. Which both make the 500gb bandwidth limit look like a very small number.

    KS dedicated server or vps?

    I'm not sure about your math here... This seems more accurate to me. 100mbit = 12.5mb per second = 750 mb per minute = 45000 mb per hour = 1080 gb per day = 32400 gb per month (30 days)

    Howto install a local munin node

    That would be the proper course of action I guess. Maybe in a few months, when I reinstall/upgrade my monitoring vps to Debian Wheezy.

    Ideas and suggestions for vpsBoard

    This. Especially on mobile I end up scrolling a lot.. edit: I see the "View New Content" link is already in the footer :), I missed that. How about mobile detection for Windows Phone? At the moment I switch themes manually, which is not the most convenient since ipboard saves theme choice as a...

    Howto install a local munin node

    I prefer munin 2.0 with dynamic graph generation through fcgi :).
