   Any hashing function would do it, but you leave your fingerprints and DNA anywhere. Would be easy to get access to it and copy.

   I think there's a misunderstanding. The author doesn't mean actual postcards – like holiday greetings and the like – those are actually sent in the public and nobody cares. The author means sending letters without envelopes.

   I'm not so sure about government-controlled DNS... But what you are describing is "federation" and that's what Diaspora and identi.ca are built around. Everyone can run their own server, and every server can talk to each

   I don't think that's grammatically correct, yeah. The correct version would most likely be "из-за политики", though that's just a bit of a weird thing to say just like that.

   This looks nice, but will there be a Linux version?

    Yes! I switched a few months ago. I find that the web interface and features offered are GMail-competetive. It's good, reliable, ad-free, and is accompanied by good customer support.

    I disagree, the most annoying thing is when the unsubscribe link leads you to a 404 page (or an "Untrusted SSL certificate" warning).

    They should store a history of WHOIS data for the site's domain and make separate archives for when the owner changes, I think. Also, why did anyone think that applying robots.txt retroactively is a good idea? :/

    If you run KeePass (not X), e.g. via Mono on Linux or natively on Windows, you can use the KeeFox Firefox plugin. I believe there are Chrome extensions as well. I didn't find a better linux-native browser-integrating non-cloud alternat

    450 tons of water every day , for somewhere around 2 years? Is that still a drop?

    OK, 401 makes more sense in that context. But another 403 case would be "the authorized user lacks permission to open resource."

    by daveid 13y ago

    Change the default meaning of 403? I don't think that's a good idea. When a user needs to be logged in to do something and they aren't, you show them 403. When access is restricted to people outside a network, they see 403. I

    But isn't it still "scapegoat" if you divert the public's attention from real issues to fight somebody in particular?

    No, she implies that the tone of the Origin of Species masks it as science when it is, according to her, actually comparable to Star Trek.

    I'm using VPS.net for a few years now, I think they are great and they have a good and quick support team. They're a British company as far as I know but they have data centers everywhere, and you can choose where to host your VPS

    I am from Germany, and philosophy was pretty much the main topic of the ethics class for the two last grades when I was at high school. We had debates of all sorts as part of the curriculum, but we had also learned how to collect and presen

    They did clean their servers. The slashdot title/summary are a bit misleading. Perhaps they wanted new PCs already and simply estimated that it might be a good time to upgrade rather than clean them? Still wish they would've donated the PCs
