I just saw a breaking news headline on FoxNews.com about Charter Communications buying Time Warner Cable.
Is this better than, worse than, or the same as ComCast buying TWC from a customer service perspective?
I don't think anyone's trying to run both races, but I intend to watch both races and since I didn't watch the Monaco GP this morning, I didn't include it in the title.
I had hoped that Conor Daly's fire would have satisfied the first lap curse, but Sato was having none of that and had to crash...
TrackingPoint Going Under - Shooting Sports Retailer
I guess when your company's only product is a $10k rifle, even if it guarantees hits on a moving target at 1k yds., it's not enough to stay a going concern. At least they've given inspiration to Linux/gun hackers the world over. It's only a...
Just try not to make them all about guns/liberty, `kay, guys? Here, that can easily swamp this kind of topic.

It's not just for serial killers anymore.
In all seriousness, the subtitle of the article below is, "How we lost touch with animals, life and death, and learned to find butchery repulsive while eating more meat than ever".
Butchery is in the blood even of the meat-free ? Amanda Giracca ? Aeon
Five years ago, I built myself a new PC.
This morning, the CPU fan finally gave up the ghost.
It didn't do it all at once. In fact, it was still making about 100 RPM, but that was just not enough to keep my AMD Phenom II 3.4 GHz six core monster cool. It did, however, take me completely by...

If you're gonna watch the 5 min. video at the link above, be prepared for some dirt stupid foreigners opining about our domestic gun rights. Also be prepared for a roller coaster of opinions. They range all over.

Also available are a jet engine, car engine, and a KILL IT WITH FIR— uh, Tarantula, for some inexplicable reason.

NIST Tech Beat for February 18, 2015
Before anyone asks, I was not searching for information on how to completely obliterate a firearm's serial number, I was perusing /. and this story came up. It had a firearms angle, so I thought INGO might find it interesting.

My permanent, live-in house guest's been complaining that I've been turning the TV volume up more than she would like. I've been complaining that I can't tell what the characters are saying. Now, we know why.
Let me be clear, I'm not really going deaf. My hearing loss is not, as far as can be...
Anyone else with persistent Internet seeing a higher than usual rate of cracking attempts this month?
I have Linux and I'm seeing my /var/log/btmp (failed logins) file ballooning to over 600 MB for the month of January alone. Dozens of failed attempts from single IP addresses a second for...
I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to pop for the tuition and book for ADMF 116 - Automation and Robotics. The first half of the semester will be "boring as whale snot" to quote Robin Williams's Adrian Cronauer, just a lightweight rehashing of what I did last semester in Programmable Logic...
Someone actually created a 9 minute short film of what it would actually be like to wake up as a fresh-spawn in the zombie survival game DayZ.
