That's good news - does anyone else know what to do about the problem with the Shelf plugin and the Shelf popping up unwanted all the time? (whenever windows or apps are closed, perhaps even when they are opened sometimes, sometimes when qu

Hmm. I have 15 minute interval logs of battery stats for my mbp since the day I have it logged (with gaps when it was asleep/off) .... about 20,000 entries. I could extrapolate the data based on my usage patterns (the charging/discharge/et

Read those other two - they're as good, if not a little bit better. Nothing stunningly different. As a long-time neuromancer and Gibson fan, I can say his writing has changed and approached the modern day just as it should. Neuromancer mad

Similar to why TCP over any medium subject to packet loss for reasons other than contention is a bad idea... say random radio noise on wireless. You'll end up with TCP slowing down to a crawl trying to correct for what it was designed for

Deeply rooted does not imply deeply rooted in the constitution of the United States. I believe the US mindset is supposed to be that the constitution does not give you rights - rights are inherent. the constitution sets limits on what right

The only people who are in a position to lay any blame are the owners.... and we can be fairly certain the site is going in the direction they want it to.

There also seems to clearly be enough usage and revenue, and profit, for the owners not to want to take it any further and be happy with what they have rather than risk change. They are under no obligation to do anything with the site other

Right - it's so terrible nobody uses it -all those other awesome sites out there are just taking over then, right? Craigslist is doomed? It's obviously a highly successful product. The model is simple, IIRC from articles past, the operatin

So somoene is free to go out and fill it - craigslist is under no obligation to do this. They're private. They can do what they want. Just because a whole LOT of people would love to get their hands on it because they think they could make

That's all fine and good - but watching the show segment, it very clearly gives that they suddenly ran out of power and had to push it into the garage. One can argue the details of what really happened - but even knowing how those things wo

Been watching this sucker for weeks.... it's pretty persistent but pretty dumb - keeps hitting servers that don't actually have any SQL or other backend storage at all... so I just let it hammer away (I figure if it's wasting it's time on m

Is that really HFT though? It is my understanding that High-frequency trading takes advantage of milliseconds (or less) of latency and extreme closeness to the markets network-wise, and exploits that advantage to the trader's benefit. It's

Scoped properly, he's entirely correct. The user doesn't care about standards. The user cares that STUFF WORKS. Standards serve a purpose - but standards are guidelines. Adobe & Redhat had no contractual obligation I assume, so really

While all of what you say rings true - it's been said before and bears repeating - git isn't a version control system as much as it is a set of version control tools from which you can design a workflow that meets your needs.

Just for debate sake (because I tend to feel as you do) letm e take the other side (although we could be arguing semantics around the world simple.... so leaving that aside) Is making a web page simple? Yes. Is making a web page do cool stu

Good Luck..... I guess this sort of explains what's up with AdventNet and it's quirks too... all the good people left?

Dropbox already takes advantage of the local subnet if it can for synchronization... has for quite a while now.

How about: how can you manage your business so you don't have to overwork your programmers as a core business strategy?

Yeah - I dont' live there anymore but on one trip back I noticed (I don't smoke either) that every place that had over-counter cigarettes now had it covered over. It's been a wildly successful effort with long term benefits for the province

This is where firewalls come in handy... Disabling remote root login isn't as big a deal as it used to be - as others have said, if someone gets your administrative account you're pretty screwed anyway - and if they get your password for su

Securing a server is relatively easy - what people need to look past is securing the system as a whole. Some day something in the servers or network you are responsible for will probably be breached in some fashion. You won't expect it. Yo

I found that, while it looked great, for some reason on every install I tried (granted this was a couple of years ago, but I tried on various distributions and hardware) - the mailing engine tended to silently fail - which was fairly critic

It really depends on the scenario. Are you using one server? Do you manage a bunch of servers here and there for various clients? Are you responsible for corporate servers? All of them have different acceptable approaches to security. On m

There will never be a nuclear explosion.... even a meltdown is not a nuclear explosion. Even chernobyl was not a nuclear explosion.

Yes, smokers smoke despite knowing full well how bad it is for them, more or less. Gross pictures won't make them stop for the most part. It might make a kid think twice - IIRC it mostly made poeple want to collect them all. Plenty of peo

As interesting and fun as honeypots are - unless it's your own gig, or the data from the honeypot fits into a larger security plan, it's just adding one more thing to manage. Move the port, run denyhosts, and in general just have access fir
