You are correct: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18708626

I think that http://pngquant.org/ does the same technique.

Also see http://pngnq.sourceforge.net/index.html

There are several other image optimization tools incorporated into a OS X tool http://imageoptim.com/

Monoprice has this:

It doesn't support chaining more thunderbolt devices, though.

Your link didn't quite work for me, starting in the 49th minute somewhere,

Using a fragment identifier to demarc the time offset works better for me:

That idiom is called an array slice in perl.

  # perl -e "print join ' ', (10,5,9,6,20,17,1)[0,1,3,6]"
  10 5 6 1

There's a wikipedia page with tables of differences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BSD_operating_sy...

In my opinion: OpenBSD - Focused on security above all else. Host project of OpenSSH and pf/carp/altq?. Lags behind on architecture support and performance (Previously poor SMP performance?). Primary use: Router/firewall.

FreeBSD - All around features and performance (zfs,dtrace,pf,linux syscall emulation layer). The most popular, and I believe has the most development effort. Popular freebsd derivatives: pfSense (firewall appliance), FreeNAS (zfs storage appliance), PC-BSD (packaged up for an easier desktop experience). Primary use: Desktop/server/firewall/storage/database.

NetBSD: Focused on architecture support. Supports 57 platforms/15 processor architectures: http://www.netbsd.org/ports/. Primary use: support on embedded/uncommon hardware.

DragonFlyBSD: Interesting technologies being developed: HAMMERfs (compare with zfs), application snapshots, virtualized kernel. Matt Dillon's fork of FreeBSD adding the spirit of AmigaOS. Primary use: Compute clusters?

Hardware and bandwidth aren't as much of a cost factor as datacenter power / cooling.

When systems can support more memory (and adequate cpu to utilize it) per watt, then pricing should decrease.

Instruments is a frontend to dtrace, I think the closest equivalent to strace on OS X is dtruss.

Additionally, OS X has several useful stock dtrace scripts, check 'apropos dtrace' for a listing
