STRiDEX··on Kimsufi: the affordable dedicated server
I'm on Hetzner and servers are as advertised. Purchased from their server auction and got a very good deal. Some of them are not good deals, you have to know what you're shopping for. Available to americans after proof of ID, paid with paypal that converts your US dollars to euro's for you. Beats the pants off of a digital ocean in price/performance in the above $40 price range.

Defining all 4 screen sizes gets tedious. That aside, The new landing page on http://getbootstrap.com/ looks great

The action of the two PH.D. candidates. The action of few employees. Yet they both represent the group to which they belong.
STRiDEX··on Get Facebook WiFi for your business
A lot of business do pay for more likes on their pages. These likes are much more valuable as they are actual people that walked into/near the store. It also manages their free wifi by having an expiring token https://www.facebook.com/help/287034034776458

STRiDEX··on How to Tango with Django: A Python Django Tutorial
Looks good! The part I chose to jump to was deployment as there's a million ways to do it and I've been looking for a best practices. Was a little saddened to see you chose PythonAnywhere not because the service is bad, but because it has a limited use case.
STRiDEX··on Modern Minimalism
This was written by a crazy person.
STRiDEX··on How a Relationship Dies on Facebook
I'd say if you haven't used a website in 5 years your opinion is pretty weak. This is like saying iPhones are crap and you stopped using them 5 years ago. There's been many product iterations since then in both cases.
STRiDEX··on Facebook kills startups with new collaborative photo album feature
They would require lots of funding quickly if they were to grow suddenly. Think of the bandwidth and storage. Not cheap.

STRiDEX··on Science Is Broken
"We want free government money" -Everyone

Science may be broken, but a lot of these sound like first world problems. Academic books aren't purchased for me either!

STRiDEX··on Zuck's Political Group Is Trashing Obamacare and Promoting Wildlife Oil Drilling
What is the point of a headline like this? I understand that Zuck and facebook are very trendy and click catching, but doesn't necessarily mean Zuck is running about promoting the destruction of wildlife like the title implies.

It should be obvious why a group founded by Republicans would not want Obamacare. Republicans do not agree with Democrats? Madness.

FB has many employees that are not engineers! These are the people the posters are targeting.
