Had a burning need for some linux loving recently. I'll post about that shortly too. I found a great linux command line cheat sheet at http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html Command Description • ...

So, with the recent announcement of CompUSA's closing, I have  been swinging by there on occasion to check out the deals on whatever stuff there is. I recently purchased a MyBook World Edition II 1TB model and have been having a lot of fun with it. They were down to 299 which isn't ridiculously cheap, but it's far, far below the retail of... whatever it was. Something crazy like 450 i think. I found them several places online for around 320ish.

Importantly, these cryptographic requests consume more resources per call than other request types. Shortly before 4:00am PST, we began to...

Those of you that know me personally are aware I'm an amateur guitar player. I started playing a little over a year ago and it's been a great experience. A couple months ago, Gibson released the Robot Guitar!    Here's a little blurb from the Gibson site: Since the dawn of the instrument, musicians have come to accept the guitar's imperfections and lack of tonal precision as necessary evils.
