All of the above. Or almost. And being a jack of all trades really works for me. In fact, that's what I think my focus really is - picking up new skills, figuring stuff out with an obsessive drive to know how everything works. And havi

Interesting, had no idea they were in banking. As for the electronics sector I was referring to, it seems I missed semiconductors, medical and the remnants of Ericsson.

Heh, laundering evidence. This sounds a lot like what News of the World did with their phone "hacking" scandal - they'd illegally break into peoples voicemail, record it, then stuff the recording in an envelope and mail it to

Admittedly it is up for debate which is length and which is height in a VTHL craft ;-)

Yes. Read about Project Thor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment#Project_Tho... A payload of slightly smaller than described tungsten rods would fit on a craft of this size, and according to the article t

Made me think of Vernor Vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky"[1], which is set on a planet where the atmosphere freezes and snows to the ground before thawing again (in 250 year cycles). [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/

The first thing this made me think of was the countless old/broken washing machines ending up on the dump, with perfectly intact, shiny stainless steel drums that could've been used in this.

Very glad to see this in between all the git monoculture. Yes, GitHub is kind of nice for some things, but git really isn't.

New Relic has custom metrics: http://docs.newrelic.com/docs/features/custom-metric-collect... What they are lacking in comparison to running your own NMS (e.g. NetXMS or Zabbix) is making custom views (the Dashboa

Perhaps a better example would be automating a previously manual failover, i.e. if a service becomes unavailable on one machine, start it on the warm standby. Or in EC2, terminate an instance and start a new one.

Sorry, but those are terrible examples. If your processes keep crashing, you should find and fix the underlying problem, or if you're forced to use unstable software, rely on something like upstart or daemontools to keep it running. An

This export rule nonsense can be bypassed, as demonstrated successfully by Phil Zimmerman[1], who ended up getting crypto legislation changed. Also in a similar case about European laws that prohibited bypassing DRM, the developers of Clone

Only if the legislation there also permits doing away with ineffective measures. Not to mention that this will then lead to a push for more effective ones.

"I used to admit that I pirate..." From my personal observations, this is the only thing that's changed. As the copyright industry is so eager to make examples of those they deem worse than murderers, sharing is driven underg
