The ram additional prices are linear with the next tier linode, so if you want more ram you are better of just buying the next tier and getting bandwidth/harddrive space for free.

This applies to all their extra pricing (other than ips and backups).

I'm upset with the outages but I'm more likely to move my freemont server back to dallas than switch hosts.

That shouldn't stop anyone from installing it and making sure they reach the maximum of 1 million dollars.

Pretty much anywhere you can get it, google and competition would be good starts (competition could be a good idea of a market depending on their success).

Put up a landing page with email sign ups for notification of when product opens.

Use any tool you can find.

Research.

FreeBSD is kind of another beast at this point in time, NetBSD support for xen is actually okay and it is pretty trivial to get it working, freebsd not so much.

Hopefully cperciva's work will pay off soon for a stable freebsd on Xen as I know there are plenty of users, me included, that would love this option.

Edit: and that linode post on how to get it running looks a bit dated

From the article:

>“Books are priced too high,” said Berntsen when justifying his work. “One of the reasons why the pirate world is so big, is that publishers take crazy prices for something that isn’t even in physical form.”

This is actually one of the better arguments in favor of piracy I have seen, though I'm sure most people don't see their pirating this way, pirating books isn't really the solution, and it is quite a bit misguided.

The specifics of digital books is a little bit different from music, you do have those fixed costs but the argument is that the marginal costs make up for it. What a good amount of people don't realize is that with many books the marginal costs are actually pretty close to zero so an ebook doesn't really cost that much less to make.

My personal problem with digital books, which I avoid by going to used book stores (So I guess I'm not really supporting anyone other than the book store), is that some publishers think there should be a convenience charge to the customer in order to obtain a digital copy, I believe in no way should an ebook cost more than the cheapest copy (be it paperback or hardback) available from the same store new.

For short periods of time.

I think everyone is still better off with a password manager system (1password, lastpass, keepass) at this point in time.

OpenID seems to be more troublesome than it is worth and I have avoided registering for one, as well as avoiding those facebook and twitter logins.

It would be interesting to see a largely adopted solution but for some users like me the per site username and password system is still the preferred way to log in.

It seems that icey did not think it was so harmless and wanted to inform the community in case any malice was involved. If this experiment was completely harmless I don't see why the contributor needed to contact so many people (as it seems they contacted quite a few active members from the comments) in order to perform it.

Could this issue still be occurring because of the ycombinator.com site which serves the static content? As this is what was the cause of the problem previously and once in a while I still see the slow load time proceeded by a missing stylesheet/arrows.

I believe the problem is that the caching in regard to the static content is non-existent so they have to be loaded at every page view.

Erlang or nodejs probably would be some other good options, you don't really hear about go being used much in this context.

Seems like maybe you should look at joining a startup as you don't want to (or have the motivation) to run your own and want to stay away from big companies.

You also have prime location being in California, even if you think you are lacking in the programming abilities it wouldn't hurt to try and get a job doing that.

Well I would hope so because the apply now thing still shows up on my new tab page.

If it was done in a similar way to vimperator there should be a passthrough mode (ctrl-z in vimperator)

Both Inconsolata and Consolas seem to look nice on Ubuntus default rendering (though Consolas only seems to look okay on a dark background).

I personally use Inconsolata.

I am really interested in what repercussions will come of all this, because I'm willing to bet some portion (probably large) of the people performing these attacks didn't actually take caution to make sure they were indeed anonymous.

The only thing factor is missing is a book/tutorial/better example docs.

The current documentation is top notch though and you can learn a lot if you look through the factor blogs (or read a forth book)

Best guess is the standard first huge failure, push an update and break everything.

Well it is much nicer than the google default http://www.google.com/blalgalgal

I think amazon has shown that they at least pay you back after they take away your book. Not that its good that they can take away your books though.

Same browser, Windows 7 Prof. 64 bit with same issues :/

The probability equation looks awful with the squishing.

Can anyone explain what this hosted zone part is, I must be too sleepy or am just missing what it is.

It does, just older articles don't show number of comments (probably after a post is out of the servers memory).

Go on the front page and click a users name, go to submissions and you'll see the comment number on the submission that is on the front page.

The responsiveness is a much nicer feature than visual transitions and the such, and for a start of a new but similar design I quite like it.

If it is over a year old most likely there are a ton of people who haven't seen it, and those who have may not remember it completely.

I was coupling it with the fact that they used the same dns service that previously dropped them.

I think there is some lack of technical knowledge with the people who are running wikileaks as they are still using the same free dns service with a new domain rather than switching to another dns that might be able to handle their traffic (DDOS) with a known domain name.

(everydns.net is the dns service they are using)

I think your Summary: should be replaced with Conclusion Drawn:

Well it may be selfish, but I like hardcopies. Actual books and CDs have a tangible value and I like that, it is part of the reason why itunes and kindle books are so hard for me to justify buying when I could be getting that for free.

Weakening a little is completely different as to what reporting was coming out about the iphone 4 (full bars to 0) when it first came out.

It should be understandable why this happens with phones without an external antenna, and this kind of attitude is what puts me off of daringfireball.
