Speaking for the US here, but I believe the same is true in most places. If I fail to pay my taxes and I sit at home completely non-violently, at some point, a man with a gun will come to my house and move me. If I ignore liens, my home wil

If you leave via commercial airliner the TSA will check to see if the name on your identification (be it a passport, driver's license, or other) matches that on your boarding pass. They don't, however, check to see if you're

That you might pay your taxes voluntarily is charming, but do you really think that if all enforcement behind tax collection is lost that most of the population will pay their taxes?

Not quite, actually. The US has no passport control upon exit. You are free to leave the country without talking to any government officials.

Security aside, this is even useful for new deployments of IPv6. It seems a lot of people have IPv6 networks that are less favorable for some traffic than their IPv4 networks. Some are running their IPv6 through tunnels. As soon as you enab

There's really not that much to it. Use nginx that comes from APT and use a unix socket to communicate between node and nginx. I use this code to open a unix socket in production at tmp/socket : https://gist.github.com/lgbr/5453355 And us

Anything multiplayer, cooperative, and new. When games like Borderlands 2 comes out, my evenings get a lot brighter because we really have something to work together on. Multiplayer RTSes like Starcraft 2 also make for good times because th

Your problem is two-fold: You're not only in a lonely place physically, but you do your work alone as well. Despite being exclusively a remote worker, I still socialize constantly throughout the day. My projects are always done in at least

I've been doing the exact same thing for years. I now use a T61p. It's amazing that these things are around $200 on eBay. The Linux support is fantastic, and the laptop is powerful enough to even brand new games. The 1920x1200 resolution yi

Exotics have large oil pans. Your typical Murcielago requires 11 liters of oil to change, and that's synthetic, not dinosaur oil. Add to that an oil filter that is shipped from Italy. You're also changing the transmission oil, which also mu

You're right, that's my fault. You can set synchronous_commit to off, which makes this possible. However, this is a database wide variable, so you can't use this database server for anything else, presumably, if you set synchronous_commit t

A gun doesn't have to be visible to deter crime. Just the possibility of a victim having a gun is plenty of deterrence. I'd much rather burgle an Australian or English home than one in the US, given how many homes in the US have guns.
