iTerm's "copy on select" functionality is a killer feature for me, painfully absent in Terminal.app.

I, too, can't get to Linode's Fremont data center from my Comcast home connection.

Does usage based billing truly make sense for an ISP like Comcast? If it's 4 AM and Comcast's network is mostly idle, does it matter how much bandwidth you use? Likewise, if everyone in your city uses their 300 GB between 5 PM a

FWIW, Verizon MVNOs do not get to use Verizon's LTE network AFAIK. Actually, that may be the case with AT&T too? I'm not sure.

In addition to what antoncohen wrote, I've seen a lot of people suggest using ForceCommand in sshd_config to run something that will check the Google authenticator code after you've completed key-based authentication. I think ForceCommand

I don't see anything in the automated release script's output about the "sanity test on XP and Vista VMs" steps? Is that still manual?

I think I had this same problem with Mail.app. I "solved" it by creating a separate keychain that just locks on sleep, but doesn't timeout, and moving my Mail passwords into that keychain. Presumably the same thing would work for iCal.

Thanks for the instructions, I like the fact that Google Authenticator doesn't need to contact their servers (or at least that's how I understand it). Sounds like you could preserve the use of SSH public key authentication by using Google

I agree, I bet there are a ton of Apple users for whom going to an Apple store could be a real pain. However, they could make it an optional account security feature. (Then they just have to handle "you got hacked? Well, that's your faul

I'm not positive about this, but it sounds like lots of the applications/utilities made by Many Tricks are going to be pulled, or will at least see slower/limited updates if any: http://manytricks.com/blog/?page_id=2208

Things that make me reboot my Mac: 1. Software updates. 2. My Bluetooth headset hangs in a way that requires a reboot via power button. Happens probably once every six weeks on average. 3. VM software (mostly VirtualBox) crashes my system.

Years ago one of the VPs at a client of mine demanded that I change the wording of Qmail bounce messages because he found them snarky and offensive. (I didn't change it.)

Note that it says "the actual city in 94062 is REDWOOD CITY." The others are merely "acceptable." For mailing purposes, at least, I understand this to mean that the USPS would prefer you to address mail items to Redwood City, regardless o

Did anyone else notice the 172.23.8.44 "login IP" on the third page? What does it mean that the login IP is a non-routeable address? Is that some kind of IP in use inside FB's network?

Apologies for the tangent, but is this considered idiomatic Java these days? As a person who knows/knew Java pretty well but has been out of the game for a few years, this code seems highly surprising. Instantiating an anonymous subclass

I would not be surprised if the Linode "reset root password" function shuts down your VM, mounts the filesystem directly on the host, and edits /etc/shadow, and maybe the PAM configs if they're feeling real nice. Using something we can't m

FWIW nowadays MacPorts does install binaries for packages when available. I just did a "port upgrade outdated" a couple days ago and many of the installs were very fast as a binary of the current version was available for my OS.

Or MapQuest, who have the best commercial licensing terms I've seen (which isn't saying much), and who also have a passable API.

Speaking as a person that converted a big shell script to Python a while back, I think both languages have their strengths. Writing something like: prog1 2> prog1.log | prog2 2> prog1.log | prog3 in Python is not nearly so
