Yep. Even got slashdotted once with a system that was a 100MHz and 16M RAM IIRC. The limiting factor was bandwidth, not CPU or RAM.

Why the heck do you need a control panel to simply scp or sftp files over to a virtual host?

There are at least a few obvious solutions. One is to use long passphrases. Another is to stop trying to memorize your passwords, write them down on a postit, encrypted file, etc. The main threat to your security is not someone digging thro

In theory libvirt should support Xen as the hypervisor instead of kvm just fine.

It is too dangerous to try and recover bodies. At those altitudes your body is doing everything it can to survive and the margin for error is nearly zero.

I wasn't aware of Hyde. From skimming the site it looks like Pelican is simpler, not requiring Django and being easier to get up and running initially. The only drawback I've found so far is the inability of ReST to reference sections in ot

bitcoin is somewhat interesting, I've been experimenting with it recently. One thing to note is that transfers aren't instant until your client catches up with the network -- when you first connect you currently have about 127k blocks to do

And when one of those hosted services goes down, just as you are trying to generate the shiny new presentation for the new investors... Access is nice. But putting all your eggs into the cloud isn't a good idea. And how the heck are you eve

I love ^R But make sure you've found the command you really thought you were looking for before mashing the return key. Sometimes my muscle memory is a bit too fast...

My 3G is still on 4.2.X so this may only be for 3Gs and newer devices. You may be able to un-brick it by downgrading if you are a developer, I know I've switched versions several times, including recovering from scary notices like the phone

Read the article more closely. Most need 8. There are some who need less, some who need more. The graph might even look like a bell curve ;)

Sounds like the folks from classmates.com have started a new website... (FYI classmates used to send out emails exactly like this, except for the facebook integration. "Sandy has been looking for you on classmates.com". Except there was no

Chalk up another dumb one here. Owning a home is the best thing I've ever done. I don't own it as an investment and it's value doesn't mean squat to me on a daily basis. It only matters when I want to refinance it to move to a lower interes

Err, hello clone? Self from alternate dimension? Don't forget to tell them that it runs on top of a software RAID5 and that pooling and compression performance is so excellent that we're stuffing about 2T of data onto 750G of disk. Also tha

The article mentions skipping around the Great Firewall, or accessing services only available in certain countries. To me the benefit would be that the phone company or whatever local wifi I am using couldn't log my traffic. You may lose ou

I love Linode's control panel and administration system. When I was choosing a virtual solution a few years ago they were by far the best.

SpaceX gives me hope that we can become a space-faring nation once again. The added bonus is that it is private industry doing it, not the behemoth bureaucracy that NASA has become.

The title is incorrect on several levels. Not the least of which is that it is the distributions that determine whether to use wheel, not the Linux kernel. For example, in Fedora 15 we are now using wheel to add users as administrators who

In ObjC the retain/release memory management system uses reference counters. When the count hits zero the object is deallocated so that does sound like what Linus is talking about. Objective C also has the 'new' garbage collection system an

I don't see why you would expect Benford's Law to apply here. Credit card numbers have various rules they have to follow - https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Credit_card_n... - that will skew the results.

Thanks for the explanation, but I still don't understand the problem. You re-image the server, fix whatever holes they exploited and re-install from a backup. Applications should be designed for failure. Assume this will happen every week a
