Net Neutrality Fight Net Neutrality… is pretty much dead and gone in 60 days, but we're still stoked about the BattleForTheNet.com protest on July 12th. Find out why in the video.
SSD/HD… why not SSD/NAS? CJ wrote ask@tekthing.com, "I used to do the smaller SSD for programs and larger HDD for data but ever since I built my NAS I've been using just SSDs in my systems.

Ping, Traceroute, MTR Want to find out why a website (or everything) on your Internet is running slow? Three tools can help tons: Ping, Traceroute, and MTR. We show how to use 'em, Shannon adds a Netstat demo on Linux (and mentions Wireshark). WinMTR.net is the place to get WinMTR for Windows, and Linode has help analyzing MTR results!

We discuss what makes 'em great in the video. (For Model M, check: clickykeyboards.com, phosophorglow.net, and, yes, Unicomp still makes new buckling spring keyboards!)
