If you are getting paid vacation, it has the double benefit that 1- you are getting paid, 2- you are forced to take time off to compensate and avoid burn out. Most companies I have dealt with in the past (in Quebec/Canada) usually comp

I am not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that in Canada, this would be in violation of the federal "Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act", as well as many provincial laws. https://www.priv.gc.

As with https, moving forward has a cost, but at some point, the cost of staying compatible with old protocols is higher. Before the switch, you have to deal with training staff for the new tech. Once the switch starts happening, you need t

I'm not an expert by any means, but the most cited reasons are that it requires a very big amount of ram, and it depends a lot (obviously) on the type of data.

On the "cultural momentum" of marriage, it varies a lot from one region to the other. For example in Canada, between Ontario and Quebec (in Canada), these 2009 stats are pretty interesting: http://www.statcan.gc.ca&#x2F

Imo, it's worth it though. Having universal kindergarden caused a mini baby-boom in Quebec when it was initially put in place. Having good daycare is hard and extremely stressful to parents. My productivity at work soared when I finall

It would be nice indeed, but one advantage of web-irc clients like this, is that you can run it on a server for people who can't access IRC directly from their location (firewalls, private networks, etc). For example, I run a web-irc i

A house may have multiple people living there, multiple devices, visitors, etc. You could track a person connecting through multiple locations by using their MAC address used to assign their IP. i.e. if I am connecting with my laptop from v

Probably overkill for your needs, but I use CiviCRM ( https://civicrm.org ) to do that for my work. It's basically a centralized web-based contact list, for which you can then link them between each other (different types of

One big advantage of IPv6 is that routers will not have to deal with fragmentation. At higher debits, it should make a pretty important difference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_packet#Fragmentation IPv6 also deals

On my old 486 or first Pentium, when the computer would slow down and start trashing/swapping, the screensaver would enable itself while I waited... further crashing the computer. So moving the mouse did indeed make the computer faste

The author probably misunderstood because having an IPv4 allocation makes the IPv6 allocation faster, almost automatic, since you have already proven that you need IPs and the RIR will want to encourage IPv6 adoption. (but having ipv4 is by

Wow, that's crazy.. Afaik, last time I checked, it's cheaper when dealing with ARIN? i.e. for small orgs, 500$/year + fee per block? (but indeed, I should have written "register with an RIR, such as ARIN/RIPE",

From what I understand so far, the model they encourage is: - register a legal entity (coop, non-proft, corp, whatever) - register with IANA to get an ipv4 and ipv6 block - find an ISP who can do the BGP announcements for you (DSL resellers

I have an IPv6 ISP in Canada (Teksavvy), and quite happy with it (except for the lack of reverse-DNS). I'm too cheap to pay for a static IPv4 netblock at home, but IPv6 works fine to manage the ton of publicly-accessible VMs and other

Scary. To be fair, although this kind of tool should not exist at all, the sslshopper tool at least has a warning, enforces https and informs users how to check it properly on the command line. The others, however, do not.

Very cool. This is exactly the type of book I was looking for ideas on how to better describe my current situation and for ideas on where to go next.
