Craigslist or eBay?
If you were selling something, which would you use?
I've got a DEC GigaSwitch to sell off but I need to decide which site to use. -
The A1000 lives
The A1000 array is up and running and now going through some vigorous data transfers to see how it behaves. -
What is this? Part IV
Edited because this is actually a Part IV not a Part III and I forgot to add the answers for Part III.
The ones from Part III were a fire hose valve, a manhole cover, and a pop-up sprinkler head.

Apologies for those viewing pictures...
My apologies to all those attempting to view the most recent pictures. The network here has become unstable again for unknown reasons.

I need to build a blackout box for doing that sort of thing.

The SoE cited concern for lack of a paper trail and not enough auditing of the code in the electronic machines. The ballots ( Read more... ) -
...and yet they got a license?
I heard two doors slam outside my window a few moments ago. Two guys got into a car parked just outside. It took them five minutes of fumbling with keys and two phone calls to figure out how to start the car (a Honda Accord). Then they nearly sideswiped the two cars parked on either side.
