I thought it was the cleanest way to go about it. I didn't want all the data, just some of it. What would you have done? I spent a long time trying to find the best way to convert a MySQL dump to PostgreSQL but ultimately decided upon going the CSV route.
I'm sorry but I can't take the author's advice on speed seriously when he's using Comcast's charge-you-every-month modem which is known to get terrible speeds to begin with. Let alone someone who is running wifi between their router and their modem.
If you want the fastest speeds on Comcast, pick up a DOCSIS 3 Motorola Surfboard modem. I'm paying for 100/20. This is what I get with my surfboard http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4251868226
My 3 year old Mazda uses a key fob. As long as the key is on my person, the doors will unlock and the car will turn on without me needing to press any buttons on the keys themselves nor do I have to turn my key in the steering column. I have had to use rentals from time to time and the entire act of pulling my key from my picked is so inconvenient and annoying (I know, I know, FWP.)
On wikipedia, people write the initial articles and then watch them. Most authors are watching hundreds of articles that they "own" and usually swoop in to undo any bad changes. It has it's good sides but it also is like the feudal system where all of these writers are kings of their domain.
I added additional helpful information and photos to an article local to my area about a coal mine explosion that happened in the early 20th century. The original author came back and undid all of my changes because he was the "original author" which somehow gave him permission to do that. I had to appease his ego so that he would allow me to make the changes (that or I could have challenged him publicly, which I really didn't want to do.)
I can't speak for this author on Bitcoins... just my experience on Wikipedia.
Disappointed that the Crucial MX100 / MX200 wasn't included on this. We've been using Crucial exclusively for just over 5 years with customer laptops. We swap the hard drives out for Crucial SSDs when setting them up for the first time. In 5 years, with average use, we've only ever had a single failure... out of literally hundreds of laptops we setup per year.
Does this support running X over SSH? The biggest drawback for me with Windows boxes was always a lack of X support for applications I want to run on remote servers.
