It depends 100% on the person. For some people working from home has significant downsides and/or isn't an effective way for them to work. For others, like me, it's almost all upside and allows me to be much more productive than being in

Far fewer people could make a living producing and selling IP (music, movies, books, code, etc...) if the first person they sold it to was free to either give it away or sell it for 50% of what they'd paid for it.

If you farm apples, and apples have a monetary value, you can provide for yourself and family by farming apples. If you create ideas/code/art/music, and IP has a monetary value, you can also provide for yourself and family by creating those

If by topic you mean I can select on a word that shows up anywhere in the tweet. I just entered "Java" and got this: "A lady here at starbucks has brought her own home made java jacket to keep the warmth off her hands and in her cup." Whic

I don't get it. Why would I spend time reading random tweets? I suspect that vast majority of tweets sent are of no interest to me whatsoever. The reading comprehension check seems unhelpful. For instance the tweet from you on the home p

I built a file storage web system several years ago (very popular when free, but when the free beta ended not many people wanted to pay). We computed the hash of each uploaded file, and only stored one copy of the file based on the hash.

I love toasted rice tea. If you're in the US and want to get some good tea, I highly recommend the Upton Tea Company ( http://www.uptontea.com ), they have excellent teas at a wide range of price points.

While I agree those features would be nice, I strongly disagree that the federal government should write laws requiring it. If you're putting your data on someone else's servers, it's up to you to have a backup, and to understand what expo

Or hundreds of thousands of browser instances. The whole point of most load test tools is they can generate far more load per hardware unit (CPU, RAM, etc...) than browsers could due to being lighter-weight specialized programs. I'm not su

I lived for a long time on homemade burritos. You can make good tortillas with flour, water, salt, little yeast if you want them more bready (which I do). A can of refried beans makes three burritos. A little cheese goes a long way (I li

Well known and utterly practical? You have been commenting about how difficult this attack is and how the MD5 collision breakthrough is still secret. You're not interested in the risk of or protection against provided by SSL encryption for

The scenario under discussion (at least I as understood it from this particular thread of comments) is if we don't revoke all the compromisable certs. The scenario is NOT that I am connected to an attacker who has successfully used this at

by modoc 18y ago
Sorry, the scenario we're talking about here, as laid out by you: "Not revoking certificates will negate all the security of SSL." We're not talking about the scenario where a very smart attacker is targeting me with this security hole. We

Actually, I'm not. I have great respect for your security knowledge, but your consistent black & white views and your assumption that anyone who doesn't share them doesn't understand the technology is frustrating. If I own a coffee hous

"the encryption part of the certificate" is still there as far as the wifi packets leaving your laptop are concerned, and as far as the poorly/maliciously configured linux router in the backroom of the coffee shop are concerned. So, is it 1

by modoc 18y ago
That's decidedly untrue. In this case I could be falling for a fake site and sending them my CC data, instead of Amazon, however I'm still protected from my CC being stolen by guy who setup the coffee house Wifi router.

Any tips? We have what I think are a good group of accountants doing our books and taxes, and yet beyond basic business expenses (computers, attending a conference to sell our stuff, cell phone bill, etc...) we're pretty much paying a TON

One of my biggest shocks of running a profitable small company is how much of that profit vanishes into (Iraq, GM, Bank Bailouts, etc....). It seems that the large companies have enough accountants, divisions, and clever ways to avoid taxes

There's probably enough people on the forum for whom that's a reasonable number that it's worth asking about it here. And honestly, even if you can't afford it, lots of people (techy guys in particular) tend to know a TON about nice cars w

While you're offering something better, you're not offering a new actual feature or function, just a swap of the text. It's like adding an 'S' to someone else's big word in Scrabble. Yes, you get the points, but it's not nearly as satisfy

That's a bet you'd lose. More specifically I can't without taking a huge hit in productivity (and there are somethings I wouldn't be able to do at all on a Sparc station). In order to do my job, here's a short list of what I run on my MBP:
