Key management is hard. Keys need to be encrypted at all times and only duplicated when authorized. Generally people use dedicated secure storage hardware for this purpose. The more "key" you have lying around the harder it is to keep all o

This reads like something written word for word by IBM PR. It is also woefully misinformed. For instance: The goal . . . was to build a profitable business with a lot of recurring revenue, based on service contracts and software licenses.

And I mean no offense to anyone who's here on a work visa. You are sad pawns in an evil game. How do you expect this to not be offensive? Drop the fake courtesy. While we are laying out anecdotal evidence in support of our causes let me j

By ensuring their landing pages are as unusable as possible Experts Exchange is reducing the usefulness of search results. They are gaming the system to the detriment of everyone else and this is a perfect example of "evil" SEO.

Interesting. But that would only be true for journaling file systems right? Or are there consumer hard disk drives that transparently journal writes a la ssd's?

If you can get past the "condescending excuse to save on hardware costs" bit there's actually a glimmer of truth to this. People are generally more motivated to solve problems they can directly experience and therefore understand. Question

The article is pretty even handed and you'd do well to respond to the contents of it rather than getting stuck on the term "super angel." pg describes the differences between angels and super angels in concrete detail; see if you have somet

You need more people to manage 1,000 servers than you do for managing just 10. Sure, you can automate processes, but as automation becomes more sophisticated it takes more time and resources to build and maintain. So, yes, the number of dev

Very well designed, would be especially delightful on an iPad type device. Using Chrome on a Mac though, nothing happens when I click on images from my feed. I'd expect that to at least preview a larger version, or maybe take me to the post

A tree, left undisturbed, will go on to live for hundreds of years. So, a tree being relatively elderly does not reduce its remaining life. The medical researcher, on the other hand, has gone through approximately 2/3 of his life. Thinking

You had me until "I called the two companies we hired to improve our ranking." Google did not cost you $4 million, the fact that you were spamming Google did. As it very well should.
