My economics is rusty, but I can think of few industries with higher barriers to entry than airlines.

The sibling poster does a good job explaining SNI. The shorter version is that without SNI all you know when establishing the secure connection is the IP address, so you can't do name based virtual hosts. I'm not an expert on DNSSEC, but th

Alas, while I feel comfortable not XB testing WinXP because it's less than 1% of users (or whatever threshold you want), I'm not quite as comfortable using that argument with SSL certs. Unfortunately the two solutions (SNI and IPv6) are un

I think this is what's going to drive the adoption of DNSSEC: free, DNS-validated SSL certs. IPv6 should address the other problem - namely, that SSL certs are per-ip, not per-hostname, which makes hosting multiple sites a pain with IPv4.

That might work for the likes of disney, but seems like it could be really unfair to smaller copyright holders. Suppose I write a successful novel, and that the "IP tax" is 1%. If I value it at $10m, my yearly tax is going to be untenable

While nice in theory, there's no way I can see that working in practice. With real property there are comparable sales and the like, which can be reasonably accurate - if another townhouse in the same complex sold for $x one month, $x is p

Every once in a while I think I have my shell environment set up exactly the way I want it. Then I find out about something like this - thanks for the tip.

There are no drivers for 802.11n cards in pfsense 2.0 (current stable version), which is based on FreeBSD 8.1. Some b/g/n cards will work, but only in b/g modes: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Is_802.11n_wireless_support... Drivers for

My router uses about 3 watts. That adds about $5 per year to my electric bill, which I'm happy to pay to avoid the painful ISP-provided router.

I'm a fan of pfsense [1] on an alix board [2]. The alix boards a little pricey for a router, but has a real amount of memory (256MB). The only downside is that pfsense, since it's based on FreeBSD, doesn't support any 802.11n cards, so yo

The headline is wrong - it should be South Korea, not North Korea. I don't think there are many US citizens in North Korea. And I'm not surprised at all. Planning for contingencies is kind of what the military does when it's not actively

True, the article is heavy on personal experience, but the numbers really don't look good if you want to be a tenured professor in the humanities. Just look at the number of open positions each year compared to the number of graduates. An

If the doctor is "in network" shouldn't the patient responsibility be the lower, negotiated rate? I thought was part of most insurance contracts, and one of the reasons insurance is helpful even if someone is healthy and has a high deducti

I agree in part, but the workflow of "this is what's wrong with you, this is what we charge, this is what insurance pays, and this is what you pay" seems exactly the same, even if what's covered and the reimbursement rates are very differen

That is interesting. I know the prices for things like LASIK are completely transparent, but that's because insurance isn't involved. I'd assume that insurance generally does cover cataract surgery, however. Some of the reasons might be tha

Doing what you've described would probably be insurance fraud, or at least a contract violation. To expand on your example, the insurance company contract with the mechanic says that the insurance company will be billed the lowest advertise

What I think is really interesting is that my experiences with dental insurance are entirely different. I've gone to the dentist, found I have two cavities, and when I schedule my next appointment on the way out I'm given a detailed treatme

I think there might be some selection bias going on there. I know plenty of (non-software/computer) engineers who know very little about programming. The non-software/computer engineers who are interested in programming may be as good as

I realize I'm a bit late to reply, but thanks for the tip. The biggest problem I had was with p4 mode (we use perforce at work) and rope-mode - I didn't really feel like hacking those to get it to work with tramp. And I can keep everythin

Corrected for your risk tolerance, of course. Suppose my data is worth $10k, and and there is a 1/100 chance of data loss (making those numbers up). I'd gladly pay $500 for "data loss insurance" (i.e. backups) to avoid the chance of data

You still need a remote shell open if you want to run make, use SCM plugins, etc, so I've never found tramp that useful. If there's a clever solution for that I'd love to hear it.

I've had much more luck with WTForms than django forms. Specifically, the FormField method for decomposing common elements of multiple forms is much more pleasant to work with than trying to do something in Django. This looks nice for when

While not related to the topic of this article, the UI around the pictures for the article is impressive. It's modern and clever, but not in a distracting way like a lot of attempts to do things that are clever. And it's still perfectly r

You should consider this. This could be useful for automated testing, but that will all be on an internal network.

I tried newsbeuter once before. I prefer CLI programs for most things, but enough feeds I follow depend on pictures (ok, maybe just xkcd) that it wasn't worth it. You can hook it up to urlview to open links or the original article (as long
