jwz's collection and instructions for getting old versions of Netscape running:

I think that http://pngquant.org/ does the same technique.

Also see http://pngnq.sourceforge.net/index.html

There are several other image optimization tools incorporated into a OS X tool http://imageoptim.com/


Monoprice has this:

It doesn't support chaining more thunderbolt devices, though.


All this does is split the video into 2 identical signals. Note their fine print: "the two outputs of this monitor will always be the same"


Your link didn't quite work for me, starting in the 49th minute somewhere,

Using a fragment identifier to demarc the time offset works better for me:

That idiom is called an array slice in perl.

  # perl -e "print join ' ', (10,5,9,6,20,17,1)[0,1,3,6]"
  10 5 6 1

There's a wikipedia page with tables of differences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BSD_operating_sy...

In my opinion: OpenBSD - Focused on security above all else. Host project of OpenSSH and pf/carp/altq?. Lags behind on architecture support and performance (Previously poor SMP performance?). Primary use: Router/firewall.

FreeBSD - All around features and performance (zfs,dtrace,pf,linux syscall emulation layer). The most popular, and I believe has the most development effort. Popular freebsd derivatives: pfSense (firewall appliance), FreeNAS (zfs storage appliance), PC-BSD (packaged up for an easier desktop experience). Primary use: Desktop/server/firewall/storage/database.

NetBSD: Focused on architecture support. Supports 57 platforms/15 processor architectures: http://www.netbsd.org/ports/. Primary use: support on embedded/uncommon hardware.

DragonFlyBSD: Interesting technologies being developed: HAMMERfs (compare with zfs), application snapshots, virtualized kernel. Matt Dillon's fork of FreeBSD adding the spirit of AmigaOS. Primary use: Compute clusters?


This is actually a good summary, but it's missing the reason for the DragonFlyBSD fork: light-weight kernel threads. But yes, they've been doing a lot of work around clustering and performance in general.


EVE Online runs on a single SQL Server 2008 instance:

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Tranquility#Database_Serve...

serving hundreds of thousands of users


> At peak hours as of 2007 the database handles around 2-2.5k transactions per second, which generate roughly 40,000 input/output operations per second on the disks.

That's not much...


They're complex transactions. Inserts against dozens of tables, selects from dozens of tables. We're not talking about glorified KV lookups here.
