   This could be summed up in a single sentence. Usability takes more time and effort, and authors of hard to use free software find the usability to be good enough for themselves.

   The point is that they have no choice but to use fiat currency. That is not the case with bitcoin so far.

   If people don't think bitcoin is fair they won't adopt it, and may even fight against it.

   How much of this volume are traders trying to flip bitcoins? I am willing to bet it could be as high as 95%. As someone who has mined, bought bitcoins, and tried using them at bitcoin stores, there is really nothing special I can buy with t

    I have found at least 3 problems upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04. I have upgraded 4 of my servers and found the following problems. 1. The ia32-libs package uninstalled itself somehow, causing all my 32bit programs to fail start back up if they r

    This isn't about getting random volunteers from the internet. This is about every new hire coming in the door at $0 and thus lowering the cap on your salary progression.

    If Zynga figures they can get free labor, your salary may take a drop, or at least stagnate.

    I'm not saying we should give government's back doors and censor the Internet... But anyone who has been the target of a DDoS attack can tell you the Internet is very much broken.

    We understand parts of the brain classically. There are parts of the brain that operate like organic circuits of boolean operators. There is no quantum level magic.

    I've been following hyperdex with interest, but it is important to note that the "dimensions" are fixed. This sets it apart from the usual no-sql databases.

    I just upgraded from 10.04 and it stopped my 32 bit processes from starting. The ia32-libs package somehow uninstalled itself. When I tried to reinstall it, it installed 300 mb worth of random libs instead of the usual 30.

    Is it safe to use this on servers yet?

    It isn't an issue of expensive mitigation devices. Even expensive and large hosts like Softlayer will null route you. They just don't want to pay bandwidth or go through the hassle of asking their upstream providers to filter the attack for

    I know this is the norm for the hosting industry, but to anyone else, not being able to host a chat server (IRC) is blaming the victim. It is as ridiculous as banning airports because it attracts suicide bombers. The longer hosting companie

    DDoS attacks are too expensive to protect against. Here's a price sheet from Gigenet, starting from a low low price of $750.00/mo with $1000 setup that only protects against 50 megabytes/sec. https://www.gigenet.com/order/index.php?order=t

    DDoS attacks are way too easy to do now, and something needs to be done about it. Anyone can go to www.hackforums.net for a free UDP flooder (called shell booters there), or rent one capable of over 1 gb/s for $5. Or if you want to do it yo

    People overestimate Valve's competence because everyone loves their games. If you've ever tried hosting a TF2 server, you will find how riddled with bugs it is. Every other patch causes crashes. There was a power outage at a single datacent
