Our startup uses a pair of Sonicwall TZ215s to establish a site-to-site tunnel between our China branch office and our U.S. HQ.

It has been quite difficult to get the tunnel stable enough to survive for more than a few hours. We had to use lower security settings and more uncommon modes to fix our constant disconnections. SSL-VPN has always worked well, but that is only an option for our remote workers; site-to-site does not offer that option. Dell support engineers have generally been clueless on the matter.


This is a fabulous speech. Should be required viewing for HN folks.


I thought it was great as well.


I went on a Piracetam (Nootropil) phase during high school for about 3 months. I would not qualify the effects as subtle. They were quite dramatic in my case. Razor-like focus and amazing retention of study material. No side-effects that I can remember.

It's been many years, and I would like to self-experiment again. Where can a U.S. citizen get Piracetam from these days?



Ordered - thanks :)


Filco with cherry browns. I love it.

Bonus: the keys can be easily desoldered from the PCB, opened, and cleaned. Comes in handy when you spill beer all over...


I don't know of anything good for under $300.

I would recommend looking at the Discovery Back family of OfficeMaster task chairs: http://officemaster.com/products/index.php?view=family&p...

I especially recommend one with the "DCS" feature (extra memory foam.) I have had an OM chair for a year now (from a different family; the "Yes" line), and the seat foam is still as cushiony as when it was new. Beats my old Aeron hands down. I miss the scapular impedance feature that is in the Discovery Back line, though.

P.S.: whatever you choose, be careful. Mesh chairs are nice for light/medium duty use, but they're just too hard for extended duty use. That's my experience, anyways.


Good to see multi-billion dollar manned spaceflight programs making some real scientific progress!

Less humans, moar robots in space. Kthx.


First, find a TLD that isn't administered by a company doing business in the U.S. on http://iana.org/

If relevant to your domain's future content, optionally consult http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_parties_to_internationa... and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_parties_to_internationa...

Then register your domain(s) with an ethical registrar that does not do business in the U.S. and will only respond to court orders in their own country.

A possible option would be http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/st.html through http://www.nic.st/ . The company (Bahnhof) has a vocal history of protecting it's clients against corporate depredations; see http://www.thelocal.se/18882/20090416/


Nothing like a blackout will get visitors to sit up and take notice.

Blackout for justice.


I have used StartCom for a few years, and have had positive experiences every time I needed to contact a person for help. They seem to be an ethical company.


I've snapped awake from night terrors many times, and my personal experience is that exploding head is an altogether different phenomenon (although the adrenaline rush is the same.)


Thanks. Though my recollection is that in theory people do not wake up from night terrors. They are asleep while sitting up screaming. I might run it past my son sometime and see what he remembers, even though he was quite young.
