So customized billboards for the blind.

Pretty common for router/switch manufacturers to include just 1 storage device (SSD/CF/whatever). That's one reason why you buy the second router/switch for redundancy.

Back in the days when all 10 of your Seagate 120GB drives would die in a span of 2 months, sometimes two or three popping off in the same day.

Most people would have to walk through smog and traffic, and literally enjoy a cold concrete paradise. This doesn't sound enjoyable for meandering. I long for a rural life.

sard420 | 12 years ago | on: Sent $35,104.11 USD to CoinBase. Never received Bitcoins

I'll say this again about coinbase, I'm convinced they are playing the market on peoples investment. I bought when bitcoin was starting to rocket, they tied my money up for weeks, bitcoin doubles in that time. Then after that I get a sorry letter and my money back. What was my money doing in that time? Probably making them money.

echos my experience with them exactly, tied up my money for weeks, then said they can't help me. I'm convinced it's a scam.

oh oh.. this again.

It is now, that's how your supposed to feel. History will tell a very different story. Miley will be just another singer/actress.

Yes, yet youtube is still advertising horror movies to my 2 year old watching kids videos. Other than Rockenblox I've barely seen a ad that is 'kid' related on kids videos.

We used to make PODs like this at work for netbackup storage.. started with WD drives ~128 WD drives, at about two years we were at ~8 WD drives still working. At least once a week we had people in there swapping drives. I have yet to see a WD not fail.

Kindle?

sard420 | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where do you spend Bitcoins?

Going to spend mine on consumer electronics. It's hard though not even a few months ago I threw in 50$ and bought at $124. Spent a little, but now my BTC is worth over $250. I know it could be worth $15 tomorrow but still three LCD's for $50 sounds right up my ally.

Here I've received from many different carriers including OnTrac, UPS, UPS SurePost (USPS final mile), recently unidentifiable courier.

We basically wrote up what we called a change order. Detailed how we changed, or what we deviated on. Signed by both parties as just a cya sort of deal.

sard420 | 12 years ago | on: Two million Raspberry Pi sold

My tor nodes (bridge relay) on my Pi seems to go into "Relay unresponsive" and sometimes crash with what looks like circuit storms, experienced any of that on the Pi?

sard420 | 12 years ago | on: New antibiotic kills off persistent infections

My guess nano-bots that save, will come after we've made them kill.

sard420 | 12 years ago | on: Two years of production Go at CloudFlare

CloudFlare is great stuff just wish they offered SSL on their free tier, should anyone really be running without?

sard420 | 12 years ago | on: NerdyData: a source code search engine

Looks cool, but currently just seems to be a "web developer" search engine. Seems they aimed purely for HTML/CSS/JS, which tells me there are legal hurdles getting anything but freely public facing code. Plus the whole credits thing? holy balls $99/month. Pulls my wallet out... buys coffee.

A drip about dripping.. so wet in here.
