I received a gift from the Shanghai government yesterday. A small plastic spoon designed to help moderate people’s salt intake for health benefits. The spoon holds 2 grams of salt. On the package it advises that 3 spoons of salt a day keeps the doctors away. (well, not the second part). So now every Shanghai resident can measure and try to stick to the 6 gram optimal intake. I find it to be a very ...Shared by Graham (20)Contribute comment -

A colleague of mine sent me an interesting post that he wrote over on the Ubuntu boards. Basically he stripped down Ubuntu to its bear minimum in order to run VMware Server on top of it. He originally did this to get around the limited HCL for ESXi. Of course I'm still of the camp that you can run ESXi on a lot more than you think. I've got 2 ESXi servers running in the ...Shared by Graham (20) Kyle (3)Contribute comment -

The current system went into service in 1988, according to the story linked below. What did the FAA choose back in the 1980s?
