Perhaps he's not the first one to do it? Only the first to tell Apple that he did it.

Microsoft Active Directory Server systems use MD4 in their central distributed credential database (ntds.dit). Yes, that's a 4, not a 5... MD4. This is the strongest storage hash that one can use in Active Directory. Shock and horror when g

Integrate your email systems with Google mail or MS mail. You'll quickly find that they do not accept bcrypt. Plain md5 or plain sha1 is all they support (at least that was the case two years ago). When you are forced to inter-operate with

I've had some bad experience with consultants. So much so that I'm hesitant to use them now. They'll have a plane to catch to fly to the next client's site. And they'll rush to catch that plane and make mistakes on your project, etc. They h

Linode saw this post and called me. They apologized. There was a glitch in the cancellation system. I did cancel on the 30th (and they verified that), but due to the glitch, the cancellation didn't show up. So they made it right and are ref

CD sales support OpenSSH and PF development as well. PF is part of Mac OS X since 10.7.

That's interesting. I've canceled twice now (Oct 30 and Nov 1) and neither time have I received a cancellation confirmation email.

I should add that this is the only negative experience I've ever had with Linode (in a year of use). Their technical services have been outstanding.

One day soon, RFID will be doing all of this. We won't need cashiers or baggers or the customer to do anything. You'll be told (based on the RFID tags in your basket) what you owe, slide your card, then walk out of the store. It'll be much

I only mean to point out that I don't call myself a programmer, but others do.

Newer books likely have not been written yet. C++ is pretty standardized and has been for a while. I suggest "Accelerated C++" if you want to learn idiomatic C++, and then you'll understand (for the most part) how the new 2011 additions wor

My employer calls me a programmer. They print it in on my business cards and hang a sign on my door that reads "Senior Systems Programmer"... so I'm a programmer and I'm not ashamed to be called that.

What is link-bait? Seems open to interpretation. Some topics are highly controversial and bring passionate views out, but should they be banned because of that? Honestly, I much prefer the pure coding articles or stories about code or coder

People like this who know a lot of folks and who get along and are likeable can be a huge asset. You may not want them selling for you, but you certainly want them to mingle, talk to potential clients and take them to dinner, etc. They aren

Nice site. You can do the same thing by running tcpdump on a remote host and nmapping every port. You can do this your self or work with a friend. Cool site nonetheless. Makes it easy for non-techies to do.

Investing is easy. I follow two simple rules. They are all you need to follow: 1. Buy when people are desperately selling (Get in when people are getting out). 2. Sell when people are desperately buying (Get out when everyone is rushing to

Big button for Mac download. No button for Windows download. Perhaps that's why you have so few users.

No one is better than anyone else really. dmr's work has likely touched more lives than most, but like many researchers and programmers, his work is mostly "behind the scenes" and not flashy or glamorous and he probably wanted it that way

Very nice article. I like the coverage of "." (this directory or cwd) to show new users how to execute programs in /home, etc. One often over-looked feature of "." is that it can be used on non-executable files as well. For example, it can

I use them both as well as Mercurial. My favorite is subversion, but that's only because I've been using it for years. The one thing I admire most about git is its branching. You can experiment very easily with crazy ideas and just throw aw

You've never bought an ISO standard, have you. They explain the reason for the costs on the website. When you buy a personal copy, each page will have a footer that reads something like, "Licensed to Bob Smith for Bob Smith's use only." Gro

How does this compare (feature wise) to the poster library? Are they about the same? I've used poster some, but not requests... I'll have to try it now. Just curious how it compares to poster.

Woz seemed to take it really well. He said that he didn’t care about the money and would have done it for free. Steve was nice to him and Woz was having fun. Some might say that Steve took advantage of Woz (and that's probably true) but all

He's entitled to his opinion. He's a legend himself, just not as widely appreciated as Mr. Jobs was.

Nothing compares to C++ when it comes to sheer speed. If you want language X to do task Y as fast as C++, then you must use C++. The reason language X is slow is because it's been made safe to use... it has lot's of checks and safety feat

RMS made this prediction in 2003. Most people called him crazy and fringe at the time, but he was 100% right. Here's a quote: "Some versions of treacherous computing would require the operating system to be specifically authorized by a part

Very true. When you have managers shouting "get it out" and over-promising to clients, then any language is a bad choice, but particularly powerful languages that require more careful thought and testing. I love C++ and use it regularly, bu
