    ISP Offering 10Gbps Connections In Minneapolis

    200/200 is fast enough for me at this point - aside from speedtest.net I struggle to saturate my link. If the connection was shared with other people though I'd probably want gigabit.

    It’s Time to Encrypt the Entire Internet

    All the one way content and business stuff should be HTTPS, but social interaction needs to be OTR-style end to end encryption. I'm quite sure my IM chats are of no interest to the NSA but I choose to encrypt them (where I get co-operation from the other party) because it's the principle of...

    Does Your ISP Mess With BitTorrent Traffic?

    If you are in NZ and want your P2P, Usenet, or whatever else to run at full speed - snap.net.nz has quickly become the geek favourite for absolutely no traffic shaping whatsoever. And they have top notch backhaul off the islands. (and no I don't work for them)

    TV Anchor Shows Off Bitcoin, Is Instantly Robbed

    You won't catch me using a currency with such a blatant weakness. Why don't they have a diffusion layer on the QR for sensitive items so it can only be scanned within ultra-close proximity.

    BitTorrent Site isoHunt Shutting Down Due to Settlement

    All this amounts to is the MPAA attempting to justify the oxygen they steal from actual productive citizens

    MPAA Now Using Private Investigators?

    When the bluray remux or clone comes out for Gravity, I will seed it with 50Mbps upload. And they will be powerless to stop me.

    California Passes Anti-Revenge Porn Bill

    More than 10 years ago I picked up a magazine in the shop, skimmed through it and found a full page ad that said something like "What to do with all those naked pictures of your ex-girlfriend? Easy, upload them to <insert adult website name here>" I remember chuckling away in the shop before...

    Factory Fire Sends Memory Chip prices to a 3-Year High

    Am always wanting more RAM, but I've not found anything bigger than the 4x8GB I've currently got. Can you get 16GB regular DDR3? And would it work in consumer motherboards?

    Kaspersky Update Hoses Internet Access For XP Users

    If all they are doing is surfing the interweb, checking their email and doing office document shizz then why the hell would they want to upgrade from XP? It's a mature platform, and that is actually a positive for a lot of users. The reason I switched from XP to 7 was because Microsoft did the...

    Topless Women at Game Developer's Holiday Party?

    I support the right of beautiful women to reveal some or all of their delicious curves at any party, public or private, that I or any other red blooded male on this planet may be in attendance of. We just need to make sure that nobody else aside from the pretty girlies has this sort of...

    New Zealand PM Orders Inquiry into “Unlawful” Spying

    "New Zealand’s GCSB (FBI equivalent)" That's incorrect. They are closer to your CIA or NSA.

    Track ALL memory usage in Win7?

    Leak seems to be gone (Uptime is 5 days 23 hours) with memory usage looking very civil (cached allocation is at 10GB which is pretty sweet and system is feeling very smooooth). What did I do? Well first step was to use driverview to go through every non-microsoft driver and firstly question...
