Couldn't one send this kind of stuff to a third-world country as a donation? It could help feed a starving family for 3-4 months, no?
voxxit··on Microsoft Buying Adobe?
God help us.
voxxit··on MongoDB's lead developer: Foursquare outage post mortem
Why they have only two database servers running (with their database in memory, no less) with 200 million check-ins, is completely beyond me.
voxxit··on Ask HN: recommendations for domain registrars
Shameless plug: try out http://core.hostroute.com. I personally think our domain lookup tool is the best I've used. I've probably used them all ;-)
voxxit··on Man jailed over computer password refusal

The reason the zooming out is limited is because of the area which is required to legibly see the markers, labels, etc.

Thanks for the link! I'm very open for any technology questions, concerns, feature/other suggestions you all may have.
voxxit··on Ruby 1.9.1 Released: First Stable Ruby 1.9 Release
Technically, you could check your gems, see which ones are not 1.9 compatible, fix the gems, and then release. :)
