ffk··on Could Sandy Storm Lead To Another AWS Outage?
There is some talk about potential major power outages in the east coast. If any of these power outages strike the region where US-EAST is located, it is possible that an outage could happen.

Netflix has spoken and blogged about how they were affected and what changes they made to minimize downtime.

ffk··on Study finds organic food no more nutritive than non-organic
Except some research shows that cooking foods allows us to reach calories that would typically be unavailable due to denaturing things like plant cell walls.

There is also research that shows a correlation between exposure to pesticides and both birth defects and cancer.

Until more conclusive evidence exists that proves otherwise, why take the risk?

ffk··on Can'tada - Tracking the stuff you can't use in Canada
I misread your name as "Can, TADA!" :)

Maybe it can be a website that tracks things you can do in Canada! (maybe even focusing on things that you can't do elsewhere)

Did you set the limit on the CLI or within your limits.conf file? limits.conf is how you persist the value between reboots.
