The easiest is to make two installs of OSX on the machine. The first has full admin access and prey running. The second has full disk encryption and locked down. Default boot into the first partition. If the system is stolen they will reboo

The shell's name is derived from the fact that it was a wrapper around the kernel.

We have a few at the office. I've never noticed any network issues and we have a good 20 geeks all in the same room often streaming video. Each with multiple wifi devices. In addition our net admin swears by them. Thinks they are the best t

No Starch also does this. I've paid significantly more to purchase the book straight from them verses amazon, $60 vs $100, to get the ebook.

This is why I can't stand Gentoo. We had a dude who was the Sysadmin before me who loved it. He upgraded the kernel deleted the old one and didn't reboot. Several months later the server had to be shutdown and didn't come backup. I spent se

Not entirely. My father used to work as an engineer in Michigan but moved to Nebraska for a while working for monroe.com. I also know of several plants that exist in the South, and Mexico.

Since they offer TCP in addition to just HTTP I doubt they use Nginx. Possibly they use Nginx for the HTTP balancing only.

I think there will be Garbage Collection added to iOS5. Apple a year or two back had a big presentation at one of their WWDC's about a new multi-core garbage collection for Snow Leopard. With dual core in the new iPad 2 and I imagine coming

If they have one in the $100-$200 dollar range I'll be seriously considering buying one for my Mother. All she uses is a web browser and google documents. This would be perfect and would solve my issue of her randomly getting toolbars insta

I think this would be much closer to Google investing in Mozilla (pre-chrome). My understanding is that Visa makes most of their money on credit card processing fees. Square is extra infrastructure that strengthens the use of credit cards.

It is not just NATing that breaks FTP but any form of firewall in general. Iptables isn't bad because there are special kernel modules that watch ftp traffic and auto adjust rules for you. But good luck if your firewall is not on the same b

Yes I'm well aware that sftp is a ftp style protocol over ssh. What I want is a SFTP server that focuses on just the ftp part. With easy chrooting, virtual users, that sort of stuff. I recently setup a new ftp/sftp server. Chrooting SFTP is

FTP is an abomination and SMTP is not a file transfer protocol. I wish people would use SFTP. The biggest problem is I've yet to find a SFTP server that isn't part of a SSH service. I'd like a nice pure SFTP server.

I really like having the flag button on the main page. My only suggestion would be to move it to the left of the comments button. Either: points by user time ago | flag | 32 comments flag | points by user time ago | 32 comments

Without any context I'm assuming that this map is showing servers that run Ubuntu not Canonical's official servers. If so it is not a very accurate map. Edit: Ahh seeing the landing page I know understand what this is. The link should reall

The big thing is just the smoothness of handling tabs. Closing a group of tabs in Chrome is a pleasure because of how it moves the tabs when you close one. Also grabbing a tab and moving it into a new window is a very clean/smooth operation

The Tab Candy ( http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/tabcandy/ ) feature is pretty cool. The big thing about Firefox is the Addons: FireBug, NoScript, Adblock Plus, and Pentadactyl (was known as Vimperator) all add up to a fantastic experience.

On the reddit thread there is speculation that they are observing the TTL of the packets. All iphones will send them out with the value of 'x'. When packets start leaving with 'x-1' then the person is obviously tethering.

It's not about money it is about investment. $5 dollars means you have to invest into the system. Free means that you just spend a bit of time downloading and installing. If you stop using it after a half hour who cares. Money though has a

My worst: `cp -r folder backup` turns out folder was a symlink. Then I messed up my script and deleted all of the contents. Backup was destroyed with the original since I copied the symlink instead of the directory. Luckily I had just setup
