Suddenly @aol.com accounts are able to chat with me on Gmail. Is this new? I'm not signed into my AOL within Gmail.
AIM user accounts have been compatible with Gmail chat for a while, now; but I'm not sure exactly how it knows that your Gmail and AIM accounts are connected (I don't remember doing that, but I guess I might have) - COMPLICATED MR. NOODLE

Open Compute Project - http://opencompute.org/
"We started a project at Facebook a little over a year ago with a pretty big goal: to build one of the most efficient computing infrastructures at the lowest possible cost. We decided to honor our hacker roots and challenge convention by custom designing and building our software, servers and data centers from the ground up. The result is a data center full of vanity free servers which is 38% more efficient and 24% less expensive to build and run than other state-of-the-art data centers1. But we didn't want to keep it all for ourselves. Instead, we decided to collaborate with the entire industry and create the Open Compute Project, to share these technologies as they evolve." - Benjamin Golub
I need to read more about this. - Ha3rvey (Free hugs)
my servers are so vain they probably think this post is about them - John

Something in my apartment does ~200 MB down and ~40 MB up even when we are on vacation. TiVo maybe?
Sounds like a likely culprit. Seems like a lot of traffic, though, just to get some guide data. - Akiva
What app do you use to track this, Ben? - Louis Gray
What does Tivo download on its own besides guide data? - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)

I *love* the agencies that give you the booklet and say 'take what you like from aisle 4'. We had that in Orlando last year and it was awesome. We drove off in a brand new red Dodge Charger, a car I wouldn't have picked off the web site, but it was a lot of fun. - Kevin Fox
I miss list comprehensions
When I have to do PHP I sometimes write it in another language first, then translate. - Bruce Lewis
At this point, I suspect compatibility with external PHP interpreters is not especially valuable for Facebook. Perhaps the language should evolve. - DGentry
