Try disabling https-everywhere for joyent.com. Worked for me!

All I know is I get a time-out when connecting to joyent with https-everywhere running, and a normal webpage when it's disabled!

Apparently they're having some SSL issues, try disabling "https everywhere" or any other similar browser addons I presume you're running!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBl-goBrWno The Tegra3 quad-core processor doesn't perform awfully, and comes with 1Gb RAM... I'm not sure how much better you can get for $95 (lowest backing point to secure a console)!

This post has restored some of my faith in humanity. The world of software... no, screw that, the ENTIRE WORLD would be a better place with more people like you guys in :)

It was called OLark if my memory hasn't failed me. From what I remember it was semi-popular for a while but ultimately died a death of user scarcity as only the most popular websites ever had >1 active user with the program installed. Let me try find the link....

From https://spacex.com/updates.php
"FRIDAY MORNING - Final Approach, Dragon Grapple
Around 2:00 AM Pacific/5:00 AM Eastern NASA will decide if Dragon is GO to move into the approach ellipsoid 1.4 kilometers around the space station. If Dragon is GO, after approximately one hour Dragon will move to a location 250 meters directly below the station. Dragon will then perform a series of maneuvers to show systems are operating as expected. If NASA is satisfied with the results of these many tests, Dragon will be allowed to perform the final approach to the space station.
Sometime around 6:00 AM Pacific/9:00 AM Eastern, astronauts on the space station will grapple Dragon with the space station’s robotic arm and the spacecraft will attach to the station."

Hi javajosh, I just had to leave this comment here to say thank you. Your comment was possibly one of the best comments I have ever read on HN, and possibly the internet at large. Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity somewhat.
If I could sit here all day clicking the upvote button I would!

As someone who has forgone any TV's in place of a pretty heavy duty projector in my living room, I can say with some certainty that 15 lumens will barely be visible even in a pitch black room! My full-size/spec projector puts out about 2500 lumens and is still hard to see with the curtains open in the day time!
I view this in the same way I view "fun-size" candy bars...an interesting novelty for kids, completely impractical for most everyone else!
