Why do you compare Consolas with others ? It's a monospaced typeface, it should be compared with Courier New/Monaco/Andale Mono etc ... Or Courier vs Courier New ? Compare the popular typefaces from different platforms (Win/Mac/Lin) would a

On the other hand, it probably wouldn't take much, especially if you cared to take the time to write a custom-purpose HTTP-redirection server. You must consider the opportunity cost. How long does it take to code such custom server ? As t

Most of these tips are to improve network performance which is useful for high traffic websites. However on typical normal servers the constraints often are cpu/ram/disk, not network bound. So i'd rather leave my server untouched.

Except the shiny icons and Aqua, i don't see much difference in UI between Pidgin and Adium. Correct me if i'm wrong but from what i see, Adium is just Pidgin "localized" for Mac.

If Apple want to verify whether users really want to delete files, then make a popup or dialogue or whatever prompting users to confirm. That would make a bad user experience, but at least i would understand the idea. Using two keys instead

Of course Safari loads faster than Firefox on OS X, as IE loads faster in Windows. Their libraries are preloaded by OS ... Native apps for each platform may give performance boost, but maintaining a consistent UI will be a lot harder

IMO port knocking isn't good defense, people can always use nmap to scan for open ports then try some combinations on them. Certificate authentication is way better (in combination with disabling password login)

It's true that US bases in Asia/Europe helped those countries in some ways. However the intention of the US is not to defend them, it defends itself first.
