Cloud9 looks really neat, but does anyone else think $49 / month for an editor is way to expensive? I mean, ostensibly you can accomplish the same thing using vim + screen.

Nice, but you don't say who it's for. What market segment are you targeting?

Not just mod-security, but any decent firewall will provide a number of options that can be employed to reduce the attack surface on the web server, and protect it from threatening endpoints. For example, HTTP traffic can be inspected to id

Given the level of skill, training and experience a pilot would need to be allowed to fly that thing, and after rehearsing the raid in a life size replica of the compound - I think it's unlikely. Even doing a PPL you learn about the effects

Sure, I don't disagree with what you are saying. However I think that the way Amazon presents the concept of an AZ is that it IS isolated from other AZ's in the same region. Even the name, 'Availability Zone' implies that it is isolated fro

Ahhh... yes. thanks. I was wondering what they were using as an indexer :-)

No, that's not what Amazon says. The following is from the AWS web site [1]: > Availability Zones are distinct locations that are engineered to be insulated from failures in other Availability Zones and provide inexpensive, low latency

From my limited understanding, Arduino's PWM maxes out at about 500hz. SPDIF needs a data rate of about 6.2 MHZ. EDIT: Although you might be able to get an I2C signal out and use that as an alternative to SPDIF.

That's a bit defeatist. In my first year of uni, one of our lecturers drummed something into us: Q. How do you eat an elephant? A. One bite at a time

In which case they shouldn't replicate across availability zones. 'shared nothing' is the only way to islandize failures.

I'm really surprised to learn that they use Haystack here. That's really cool for both Haystack and Django.

I think it's more of a learning experience. In the grand scheme of things, it's still day one for computing services like AWS.

And a breach of the "share nothing" tenet, which is quite important here.

No, it's against the PCI guidelines to store the CVV number under any circumstances [1]. I'm not a PCI expert but as I understand it, if a merchant does store CVV numbers they can be fined for doing so. But that fine will be chicken feed co

Not at all. It's a nice way to support the project, and Slackware was always available that way.

Slackware was my first Linux distro circa 1992. I have fond memories of the empowerment from having a Unix machine in my dorm room.

I got nervous with Ubuntu releases when 9.10 came out, and it was really buggy; definitely shouldn't have been released in that state. This time round I upgraded a couple of nights ago from the repos, and I'm pleased to say there have been
