Um, Does anyone know if Kingston SSDNow KC300 has any? Because Limestone Network are currently using them. I have always wondered why Hosting companies aren't choosing Intel DC Series at all. As …

And Yet, Apple is only worth $500B, at the same valuation Apple would have worth over $20 Trillion.

Ok, what next for Ruby 2.2 :P Merry Xmas.

Nice, On a Side note Rubinius 2.2.1 was out and i didn't notice they had a 2.2 release at all. Wasn't even a announcement from Rubinius Twitter or any news on HN either. Now i am waiting for…

As Far as i am concern, Mozilla has never been great ( or even good ) with User Experience. So it is no surprise all those time they wasted on Firefox OS didn't bring any major ground breaking ac…

something to show how important the VM is. PHP managed to jump near the top simply because Facebook decided to bump money and wrote HHVM. Python has PyPY. And yet Ruby has nothing.
comment
That is the thing. People dont ever consider asking and help aka "tech support" values anything. I dont mind helping once or twice. But being on constant support is just like a CS working fo…

Well China hasn't really been Communism for a long time. They still hold that name for sure. But for those who know they are even more capitalism then you could imagine.

I am so glad to see there are people in the world that actually understand how US works.

I really wish all these could be speed up by us Kickstarting it or donating on it. It has taken far too long for e10s.

The problem is a lot of people now research on things. Like Price Research. They tend to open a dozen of tabs to look through things. I think this is a problem that needs to be looked at. I have been …

THIS IS GREAT! There goes the reputation of Joyet. Wait a min. I remember something about Lifelong Free Hosting drama not long ago. ( Correct me if i am wrong. ) A Company to look at what NOT to do an…

Naive questions. Doesn't VirtualBox create overhead? i.e You will be a lot slower using it then running something on Barebone?
comment
Yes, JIT to Native Code, Better GC. We have yet to see any "substantial" improvement.

As far as I know, (@everyone, Do correct me if i am wrong ) most of those are stocks left overs or 1st gen design with smaller node. Which basically means they still sucks. And without an SSD ( I/…

Well for one I dont see any price advantage of ARM compared to Intel. ( In this area ) 8 Core Atoms are Cheap enough. The Atom you are referring to are First Gen Netbook Atoms. Which are indeed very b…

This is similar offering to SuperMicro 's MicroCloud. Except with ARM instead of x86.
As much as i love ARM and want them to succeed. I dont think there are any advantage of using ARM in Server a…

I think most of these would have worked on a Display connected to AppleTV.

I didn't realize this before, but has Dropbox for Business always been $795 / year at unlimited capacity? This sounds like a very good deal to me.

I am more leaning on OSv rather then Docker at the moment. Although OSv still isn;t ready yet.

I still dont get how PhotoStream works.

And he recently admitted that only half of his wealth are in stocks. Which actually puts him near the top spot.

The major problem is SSL Pricing. Which i have never looked at. But purely in terms of speed, Akamai Rules. Closely Followed by ( and sometimes even exceed ) EdgeCast. From my experience, MaxCDN is th…
