Scot here. Majority of that "anti-english" racism would have been in gest, part of the banter. I've moved around several parts of Scotland and can confirm that it is just part of the humour landscape. Most Scottish people have no problem wi

While what others have said about remote private key generation is rather lapse security and could be used for malicious purposes, however for development purposes it's a neat little utility. Nice work.

While I am on the fence about Anonymous going after darknet paedophiles, I doubt this particular leak will come as any use. It's just a list of arbitrary usernames which I highly doubt will be used in any other service by the same person, m

I don't think the writers employer has anything to do with it. I'm sure malware writers have been employed by everything from charities to hospitals.

I am the same. I often consider setting up a UNIX system similar to this, without the web browser, to increase my productivity.

If you actually look at the linked dump, its not THAT CIA. It appears to be a poorly named property management company.

I must apologise, we are both currently recovering from a bad cold. While 99% gone, its still lingering on a word or two. No illness or ailment can stop a developer!

We are confident that we are able to maintain a reasonable density as well as offer an affordable price, as well as the ability to live resize. Of course there is a real world limit, but this is true of all clouds and of all things in gener

How we do it would be giving away the kitchen sink. There is no soft limit on how much you can scale. We attempt to distribute all yours apps as much as possible to ensure there are enough resources for you to grow in to. If there is no mor

We have built on top of the ground work of Linux Containers, and as well as building an API for it, we have made some deep system modifications to allow containers to do things which you would assume only paravirualisation could do. We are

You can also configure any OpenSSH Server/Client (v4.3 or greater) into a fully-fledged VPN (as opposed to port tunnelling). Granted there are more steps involved in connection than say, OpenVPN, however it is still relatively simple and yo

Good news is, the old MySQL extension for PHP is being depreciated. Developers will have to move to MySQLi or PDO (which offer prepared statements as standard) to continue using MySQL.

When you are facebook's scale, there is no off-the-shelf solution. Whatever they choose to do, it's most likely going to be their own effort. There is nothing that bad about the PHP language and the fact that all their developers know it, i

I doubt it. While PostgreSQL offers a number of technological advantages over MySQL, MySQL has a lower barrier to entry and easier to understand concepts than PostgreSQL as well as being a major part of the LAMP stack, which is still the mo

Ideally, you would want something to work on and learn the language best suited to that, or pick a goal such as "Build iPhone Apps" for example. If I had to give my opinion between Ruby or Python; I would say Python, as it is multi-discipli
