Tech News

  • Naruto loses copyright battle.  (TechDirt)

    Short of a Supreme Court hearing, that's it for PETA and their bullshit monkey selfie copyright suit.

  • Evernote lost its CTO, CFO, CPO and HR director.  They should have kept online backups.  (TechCrunch)

  • Need a terabyte of RAM in your next desktop PC?  Gigabyte has you covered!  (Serve the Home)

    It is a server board, but it's E-ATX so it will fit into larger desktop cases, and it has 7 PCIe slots (including four x16 slots) for graphics cards and stuff.  Being a server board the dual 10GbE ports are SFP+, but you can't have anything.

  • "The check's in the mail" isn't a great excuse when you're paying by PayPal and you've already confirmed that you've received the funds from the third party.

    Grrr.

Graphs, You're Doing Them Wrong

I can sort of see how they got there, but it's a terrible graph.  The two plotted variables (x and y) are actually dependent on a third variable (z), which isn't plotted.  Typically, x is linear with z, and the graph looks normal.  When x is not linear with z, you get sent to Crazy Town.

Also, don't use an Intel 660p SSD in a server.  Just...  Don't.
