Also: Everyone talks about them "freezing" his account or stealing his money, when they did no such thing. They're simply requiring him to keep a float in his Paypal account to cover chargebacks, and due to the amount of transactions he get

I know, I was one of those people - I just wasn't sure if Apache can do that well, I know of other servers that can. And yes, you are correct, that's what I get for posting when tired - I meant simultaneous requests!

The default thread count for Apache is 256 is it not? I know we can't handle millions (and I can't speak for how Apache itself with threads) but servers running thousands of threads are not only possible, but exist and work well. Whichever

I don't know how the Apache modules to guard against Slowloris work, but I can think of a modified attack that would still work if connections per IP were limited. You can't limit connections per IP to just one, as browsers will pipeline re

There isn't a rule that "Google don't care about design" if there is an exception. Exceptions to rules disprove rules. However, an explicit exception to an unwritten rule suggests the existence of that rule - for example, a sign saying "Par

Do you have a link to the Prolog one handy? I've just started re-learning it and could use a good guide. Cheers!

Would it kill them to spend two minutes checking for spelling mistakes / typos? Poor reporting aside, I think this product is... no, I don't know, because the article gave no concrete information at all. Except of course that it's in the c

Probably because it involves exposing yourself to other cultures, going well outside your norms in many areas, and basically getting a huge amount of perspective. It's educational in many ways and considered valuable experience. That said,

Impressive level of depth. Long read, bookmarked to finish later, but really good so far!

I agree with some of what you said, but not total equality. There are differences between the genders, and I think some gender roles are more helpful than harmful (and some are undeniable, until we invent male pregnancy at least). And yes,

I think this is a false dichotomy. Women are, generally, weaker than their male peers. That's not sexist, or discriminatory, it's how things are and (on a biological basis) probably how they will be for some time. To fail to acknowledge tha

DHT and Peer Exchange are just about good enough to download a torrent in the absence of a tracker, albeit with a much longer "spin up" time than usual. If tens of thousands of people were all on one torrent, and most of them had DHT / PE e

This reminds me of my Cambridge University interview. I thought I'd done terribly because I couldn't provide the answer to most of the questions they asked, but I did explain how I would find that answer if they gave me 10 minutes and some

Nothing new here, this is an old technique that already exploded a while back. The Mozilla team said they would be removing this "security hole", I don't know if they have yet. What most reporting on it fails to cover is the nature of the "

Very logical fit. LastPass have been making noises about integrating bookmark sync since around the time Xmarks added password sync support, and I'd rather it be this way around than the alternative (LastPass is extremely secure, Xmarks...

I know it's selfish, I just thought it was a direction of thought worth exploring. Personally I wouldn't post insecure code without a lot more warnings, closer to (or commented in) the code itself. At the same time I would have absolutely n

This confused me too. If I ran a website "ZoFreX's top 10 websites", and (for some reason) 80% of the internet populace used it, would I no longer be able to decide the order of the sites (or which sites appeared) myself? I don't understand

Is that really a concern, though? People ignoring warnings like the one at the bottom of the post are probably going to write insecure code anyway. From a purely selfish standpoint, there is no advantage to me from not posting insecure co

Just a convenience note - you can associate multiple OpenIDs with your StackOverflow account, which might save you remembering which one you used.

NatWest require the secondary factor if you either add a new payee or send a payment for the first time to a particular payee. You can still login and do almost anything else without it, though.
