So the stereotype among engineers is that they dislike going into management. If you're not one of those engineers, how well do you (honestly) think you could step up to the CTO role? I've been reading about management and engineering manag

Appears to be sort of fixed? I think they're expiring them, but I'm not sure based on what. As of now, my search (#506811) appears to still work, as do a couple before it, including 506800. But search numbers 1, 2, 100000, 500000, 505000, 5

"...as easy to get to as Customer Service at Google." I love that analogy. =) (And I've tried to get to Google Customer Support before on a couple of occasions too.)

If you are on a Mac (like the OP), you might consider using FileVault. Then, use a very secure master password, write it down and keep it somewhere very, very, very safe. In the event you ever forget your password, you can unlock the encryp

The source code for the news.yc website is open source, right? We should patch it...

Yeah, you can usually delete certs, at least in third-party browsers, even if they're built in. I'm not sure if you can delete any of the OS's built-in certs ('cept maybe on Linux); and I'm not sure I'd want to risk that. Verizon/GTE/whoeve

This is the description of public key cryptography, or as you referred to it, asymmetric cryptography. It is a different technique and solves a different problem from the other metaphor above by asmithmd1, which is for Diffie-Hellman(-Merkl

I used it for a while (and I still have accounts with them). It's pretty good, though it's composer can't create rich text/HTML email. (You can still read and view rich text/HTML email).

I've heard bad things about sendmail (hard to configure, but had also a ton of vulns in the past); though I have no experience or hard evidence. However, I have had good experiences with (and have done my due diligence on) Postfix (and Dove

Very sorry, I meant to put those fields in, but forgot. Just added them though. I can't do an import of the old, full-public spreadsheet today, but if you (or anyone else) wants to, just send me an email with your Google account email so I

So, people keep vandalizing the publicly editable spreadsheet. Here's a spreadsheet that can only be modified by the form, but is publicly readable. Form To Submit: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dE... Spreadshe

Can't speak for everyone else, but personally: The 2" of extra screen real-estate doesn't give me a huge benefit usually (not enough to put two windows side-by-side); but it does widen the laptop enough to make it harder to use in tight spa

The OP's link looks like an HTML dump of http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/ , which I'm pretty sure is the original... (And there's also a PDF of all the pages, linked to from the gbdirect version, http://publications.gbdirect.co

If I had the money, I would hire Zed because I think he would bring a lot more into play for me than just "slugging at code" for me. I think he's smart enough to contribute strategically to the project and the direction it takes. I think

Most modern browsers support HTML5 -- probably more than there is gears support, honestly. Gears is end-of-life'd. Even Google Chrome doesn't support Gears at this point. I'd go with HTML5.

How old are your accounts? This individual also had slow Gmail issues and his account was very old. His issues were resolved when Gmail moved him to a new server. http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/blog/2010/06/my-gmail-is-fast...

This becomes a bigger problem when you're dealing with quoting. Suppose I wrote something like: "As MrCharles said above, it's a grey area, but...". So then what? Do we scrub all mentions of your username down the thread? What about typos?

Yeah, I think it "workaholicswives.com", so that it reads like "Workaholic's Wives" would make the implication he was trying to make.

Yeah, my setup was already pretty secure; and I ended up just switching to a non-standard port for cleaner logs. But since then I haven't spotted a single brute-force attempt on any of my boxes...

Hopefully network analysis/data mining laws/politics will be handled with a little less FUD, a little less grandstanding, and a little more efficiency than we're seeing with climate change politics...

Yeah, I remembered that, but I couldn't find it on searchyc again. And even if I did, I wouldn't want to resurrect a long-dead thread.
