    Net Neutrality

    To be honest, this could be a make or break of the net as a medium as a whole. I say this as the bigger ISP's do honestly see a compute cycle for low bandwidth sites, http://www.yourblog.org / http://www.blowthedoroutyourarse.com etc. rather than amazon.tld ebay.tld et al. Why should that cost...

    The great Gordon Ramsay wannabe thread

    Hi @fonz, Yep you sure can, I would recommend though that you use the hottest chilies you can find as the butter knocks all the heat out of them.

    Lexmark using a "BSD" Jargon ... means something else

    It's a branding issue, hell the Land Rover "Evoque" is spelled the way it is to avoid trademarks but still sound the same. Hell Ford and GM tried to Sue Land Rover in 1949 for the body shape of the Series I Land Rover, it was tossed out of court but only after Land Rover bought an engine off...

    The great Gordon Ramsay wannabe thread

    So Who cooks? OK I know as IT pros we normally have the cooking skills of reach for the take-away menu and dial the number, but I know for a fact that some of us like cooking! And I thought we should get together sharing our recipes. Last week I hit upon this wonder: Chili, Garlic, Mushrooms...

    Champions again

    That sucks, I know a guy who runs the international sports bar in Liverpool. If you want I can ask how he gets the American sports if you want.

    The Beast is Working!

    You know I have found so many really good systems sitting next to a bin when walking the dog it's silly, in the past I have found systems less than 6 months old sitting in a bin or skip and took them home (waste not want not) and cleaned them up and gave them to friends or local charities who...

    Looking for code to start.

    Then that's what I would go with, I would not recommend anyone just starts a project and hopes to get it included in the base install of anything. @sevenk, I would recommend you read this The Cathedral & the Bazaar. Not only is it a awesome bit of writing, but it covers the whole understood...

    PlayStation 4 and FreeBSD

    I feel BOTH are just low end gaming PC's, I will own both eventually but I am in now rush to go out and buy them like some people I know. Three guys I know were both at the midnight release of the Xbox One, last night. One of them is an indie games developer so I can understand why he has run...

    Lexmark using a "BSD" Jargon ... means something else

    I think that didn't happen when a old medical company said "Hey guys, we have been using that since 1920 on a cough medicine" and both Ford and Ferrari just let it go, I do know one case of two small companies in the motor trade that both used an abbreviation to mean two different things that...

    Does FreeBSD need a cool alias or another name?

    Your logo is disturbingly closer to this:

    [OT] ebook reader suggestion

    The Kindle DX (it's massive) shows up on eBay quite often very cheaply I have seen recently a BIN for £20 in VG condition with a case and two official chargers, and there is a third party firmware that adds support for practically all text-based documents but the name escapes me I'll text my...

    *Creative writing* How would you deal with a "Talking dog".

    You know what, since something similar was recommended I recalled D9 and I have tried to work it in as a alternative, with some of the stories I have already written and it just lacks a certain something I can't quite put my finger on. I already have the basic rough of a story (FAR, FAR, FAR...

    Looking for code to start.

    @sevenk, I would look for an existing project and contribute to that, also I would use it as an opportunity to find a project that needs a developer, but start with programs that you use regularly and already know and can suggest improvements too.

    I'm not sure if it's funny or just karma in action.

    *Creative writing* How would you deal with a "Talking dog".

    Hi guys, thanks for the feedback and the ideas, I am still considering how the dogs and humans communicate however I am thinking of doing a mix of options. Now onto a few additional things; What bread of dog, well I have pictured the dog as a Doberman Alsatian cross like the fine chaps...

    Gmail and Skype alternatives

    Just as in life in the army you find all kinds, I know people currently serving who have both positive and negative opinions on the subject of domestic espionage, but most of the people I know sit in the middle ground and can't really decide and I don't think this situation will be fixed for a...

    *Creative writing* How would you deal with a "Talking dog".

    Right OK, one of my hobbies is writing sci-fi, now I am writing a series of stories following a single soldier in a territorial conflict, ok not a original idea on the face of it, but he is a dog handler. Now this is set around the year 5000 and I am wondering how to handle how the dog "talks"...

    Powerd is enabled; yet, cpufan is not running.

    I would try another fan first or the same one on a other system just to rule out a iffy fan, then I would try a fan on that board just to see if it's working, then worry about software issues.
