Great book. This in combination with: a) the Drew Neil vimcasts and; b) Tim Pope's pathogen system and; c)NERDTree helped me to get to a point where Vim does most of what I want.

Meh. If any of this exposes anything, it is that you do not want your secrets to rest in anyone's hands but your own. Apple may/may-not have managed to protect their keys, but there is no guarantee that is the case. Meanwhile Jo

Well, for that, obviously you have to also buy a printer.

Well, when we talk about a helmet cracking as opposed to specifying "the outer shell of the helmet" I think we're talking about the whole polystyrene core.

It's amazing to see the splurging of anecdotes again about this topic. For anyone that has an interest in an informed opinion from someone that knows a small bit more about risk, please take a look at this Spiegelhalter paper: http:&#

I'm sorry, but you really have no basis for saying that "if I didn't have it it'd have been a much worse day than the very mild headache I got from it."

No. The helmet, in the ideal conditions for which it is designed, should /crush/. Cracking is a non-ideal failure mode as it absorbs much less energy.

I think it's worth mentioning that re #1 this is because of the increased probability of falling off while riding at the limits of human reaction in a dense pack. It is also worth noting that there is no demonstrated prophylactic effe

16 participants in the study! Neuro-imaging bolloxology. Meditation might be pleasant, but this is a pretty poor piece of science reporting.

Agreed. When cyclists come into contact with vehicles there are a bunch of other major traumas besides the head. Rapidly rotated bodies can have their aortas ripped apart. Spleens are burts. Spines are snapped. And yet, the actual level

Is there a solid citation as to how effective bicycle helmets are at preventing catastrophic skull fractures? Also, surely it depends on which type of helmet we are talking about? Talking about "helmets" in general does not make

It is a beautifully written and interesting article.

The premise is that thefts involving frame breakage would be lower: this is not necessarily true. If the components are nice enough then it is worth the thief's time to break the frame.

In response to Tomte's criticism, this all boils down to the certification level http://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article9/pgp-signature-infos 1) A fingerprint on a possibly compromised business card == 0 2) A f

Or, you can avoid the obvious problem in using a certificate generated by a non-trustable actor and use one which relies on the WoT instead: http://cacert.org

The offline masterkey stored on an encrypted medium is the approach that makes most sense. This[1] guide is pretty decent, and somewhere on the Debian wiki is essentially the same information (but less nicely presented). The OP's comp

CentOS-6.5 and later with Pipelight and Firefox 24.7.0 ESR works flawlessly. God knows what it's installing and what security holes I opened up by downloading it though. Looking forward to any native solutions.
