Download BitTorrent Files, Without a BitTorrent...
BitLet is a web service that utalizes a Java applet that lets you download torrent files onto your computer. All you need to do is copy and paste the URL of the torrent file on the homepage of BitLet and you’ll be able to download the file. Simple as that. Publishers can also use BitLet to create a direct link that people can click on to begin the downloading process immediately,...
Much love for Mike Bombich -- Bootpicker 1.3 makes...
Filed under: Software, Cool tools, Open Source Let us count the ways that the Mac sysadmin community hearts Mike B: we relish his reliable and full-featured Carbon Copy Cloner, we depend absolutely upon his fast and simple NetRestore, we puzzle through his instructions for deploying dual-boot machines and for working with Active Directory.

Add Sudo to Your Last Bash Command With "!!"...
How often have you typed in a command in your linux shell, and then realized that you forgot to type sudo, so you end up with an error or editing the dreaded read-only file? This happens to me much more than I’d like to admit, so I’m writing about it. You have a couple of options, the easiest one is to just use !! to tell bash to use the last command. For instance, if you tried...
● iPhone, Wiimote, or newborn baby: which has the...
In the Kottke/Hourihan household, much of the past 4 weeks has been spent determining which has the most sensitive built-in accelerometer: an iPhone, a Nintendo Wiimote, or our newborn son. The iPhone was eliminated fairly quickly…the portrait-to-landscape flip is easy to circumvent if you do it slow enough or at an odd angle. The Wiimote might be the winner; it registers small, slow...

Typhoon Strike Fighter Closing Dangerously On...
According to Gizmodo: This flight image sequence was allegedly taken during the filming of a Eurofighter Typhoon from a Hercules 130 cargo bay. Apparently, the director asked the pilot over the radio to come closer and closer and closer, until the pilot got fed up and whizzed right up to the entrance of the Hercules saying: “Would you like it this close?” (via NOGG3R5’s...

How To: Optimize Your Site with Image Sprites
With my last few posts on website optimization, one of the larger areas of focus was reducing HTTP requests. By reducing the number of requests your browser must make to retrieve all of your website, you speed up your site’s loading time with less overall HTTP latency for requests. If you want a good analogy for this method of site optimization, think of hard drive file transfers. Copying...

If all goes well, 0.5.3 final will release later on this week. As usual, a BIG thanks to all of our translators. 0.5.3RC2 has synced with...

Scrum Shock In Rugby's French Kiss
A Rugby World Cup advertisement that depicts opposing forward packs getting even more up close and personal than usual is raising eyebrows around the rugby world. The advertisement, commissioned by the Regional Tourism Committee of Paris, shows French and English forwards in what should be a scrum. The ad is being displayed in London. The front rows are locked together at the lips, and a closer...
Seagull Caught Stealing Crisps
A seagull has been filmed walking into a shop and stealing a packet of crisps. When the door is open at the RS McColl newsagent in Aberdeen, Scotland, the bird walks in and pinches a packet of cheese Doritos. The seagull, nicknamed Sam, has now become so popular that locals have started paying for his crisps. Once outside, the crisps are ripped open and the seagull is joined by other birds. Shop...

Final Harry Potter Already on BitTorrent
One week before the very last book in the Harry Potter series is released, and it’s already made its way to the BitTorrent Network. Over at The Pirate Bay, it looks like there are two downloads, one for the first 495 pages, and the other for the remainder of the pages.
Before you rush off to go get it, you may want to know that each page is an image, and the quality isn’t great. It kinda makes...
