I know I'm not answering your question exactly.. but.... You're a beginner. Apache is fine for everything on proper hardware, until you get huge. If you're worried about static content and growth, use a CDN if this is a business. That said

A broad interpretation of the 5th would mean you don't have to assist the authorities in any way in convicting yourself of crime.

A quick browse of the code shows mostly code that appears written by the Prey developers (Fork Ltd.), and a few BSD licensed libs. Assuming that's the case, they are free to release the code under as many licenses as they want (as long as t

Disregarding all the banter about what "open source" means -there are separate issues at hand. One is the actual license terms the older versions were distributed under. Those matter. Another is how the project itself was run, specifically

Is this hosted only or can we run our own servers? Seems to raise legal and privacy issues

In the end, all we have are our mental models and experiments to back them up.... we'll never know what anything 'actually' is - all we can do is model things to whatever degree of accuracy we can. A construction worker doesn't need to go a

ZFS is designed to have lots of horsepower and memory thrown at it.......big servers, available CPU power, lots of ECC ram. If there's going to be an SSD allocated as a cache disk, it's probably expected to be huge and enterprisey too.....

Just curious - were you using the verify option (not related to your point I realize) I'm puzzled why people in general aren't more worried about data corruption due to hash collision.....

If you lose some packets for a few minutes, it shouldn't die,but there are a zillion real world situations where it can and WILL die....... and it's not an SSH problem, screen was useful for the same reason long before ssh.

On the price point - there's still the market buy/sell spread on the currency market. Western Union exhibits similar behaviour.

He explained it on the site - if you are trying to use grep to trim contents from a file and output them to the same file, you will end up with an empty file. Seriously though - everyone knows this. Just use a temp file. He says sponge "kee

Given this type of code directly makes or loses money, it's effectiveness for it's intended purpose is already directly measured. Whether it's "good code" or not from a technical perspective, if one guys pile of crap code works the market 1

Everyone keeping their bitcoins in exchanges/(think banks, or broker accounts) instead of their own wallets is completely subverting the point of the idea of bitcoin. BTC has some great unique properties as a p2p cryptocurrency - which goes

It also seems to remeove the java coocoa bindings and a few other things necessary for some software to work (eg: Juniper SSLVPN JSAM) - it's not clear whether this will be supported through a separate api Juniper needs to use, or whether t

Despite your visa waiver, you still have customs forms to fill out and they do ask whether or not you are on business or not. They're very clear that having a waiver, or even a visa, is not a guarantee of entry into the US and that ultimat

The simple answer is: The internet, and society, does not owe you the right to identify and find anyone you've ever met. People are entitled to their anonymity and privacy. Just because someone went to school with me, or was buddies with m

Even if they all had the money, 95% of them will fail. HN likes to focus on the success side of the equation - but with high risk also comes a high failure rate. I know tons of people who started their own businesses -it's got little to do

From my reading of things, you can't just fork over the cash and obtain "blah.mysite" - your new TLD needs a business plan - and that has to be approved. You need to sell (or otherwise distribute) domains beneath that - you can't just kee

There were many mistakes made at C=, but engineering wasn't one of them. I'm fairly certain the serial speed was kept low because of a management decision to keep the drive compatible with some earlier C= business gear. The engineers had d

This is why you use full disk encryption with a hidden volume, and follow proper practices for keeping both maintained. The computer will be obviously encrypted - but, if done correctly, there will be no way to know there is more than one s

Who's to say? It's by definition - the "Big Bang" was the moment when the universe,time and space, came into existence. Neither existed before that. To talk about "before" the Big Bang isn't even correct - there is no "Before".

They want the fax likely because it's legally binding. They also want to ensure that it's clear they are the authoritative source for those zones - so no sharing what you download. If you want it on any regular basis.. send the fax :)

Well, most of the rich people I know donate to all kinds of actual charities, and they also, you know, create lots of JOBS - that's why they're rich. Creating lots of jobs is pretty awesome. They also often work quite hard at ensuring thos

Okay - but what if the argument is literally "I can't - the keyfile is lost" or Ignoring the details of this case, what if the court is ordering you to decrypt something that isn't even encrypted? It's just random data? They assume it is.

It's trivial cryptographically, but from a security point of view, it's not necessarily trivial at all. If we assume the courts can order you to decrypt the drive (and without debating that point) - one has to consider that the court may b
