The Schengen zone has nothing to do with the Euro. We had "open" borders before the Euro and non-Euro states (UK, Sweden, ...) are part of the Schengen zone. Even Switzerland is part of the Schengen zone. EDIT: The UK is only partially a me

I could not agree more. When I find a new cool library or program on github I often have trouble finding the "official" or "best" version. Many times it is of course the root repository of all forks, but often the original developer moved o

After submitting some of my longer HN comments, I think the tool is more accurate about what I write than how I write. My comment on the Russian space program (which included the name of their moon probe (Luna) many times) was similar to Jo

Because it's against the SQL standard (not that MySQL cares very much for that anyway). Just like SELECT * FROM table returns all the rows, DELETE FROM table deletes all the rows.

I don't know how to do this for the MySQL client, but a very useful trick for your the PostgreSQL client is to turn autocommit off, which basically turns your session into a transaction that you have to manually commit before closing the cl

But that virus might steal the password for my github account. Or even delete one of my repositories. And by deleting a repository I mean firing a Hellfire missile.

Can you explain further? I am pretty sure the Predator drones do not feature in-flight entertainment, so unlike the plane + entertainment system in this article, the infected computer systems must be related to flight operations.

It seems all 3 sites use ADS-B receivers as source, so the only measurement in data quality is how many receivers they have and where they are. I wasn't able to test your Flash software (Flash won't work on my computer), but since you seem

I am surprised nobody has mentioned Flightradar24[0] yet. It displays planes on a Google Map with altitude, airline and flight path information. The data comes directly from ADS-B receivers of volunteers, so only planes with ADS-B transpond

Can someone explain to me why this is such great news? Is $19/month especially cheap for American carriers or are they offering some kind of special feature?

Since the nimbus.io page has only little information, you can take a look at the spideroak dyi archival storage page[1], which seems to be the predecessor of the nimbus.io offer. 1: https://spideroak.com/diy/

RMS likes parrots, but because of his frequent travel he can't take care of one himself all year round. What better way to be around parrots than to combine his travel activities with meeting parrot owners?

I take it you only read the first part of the article. They used RAID6 over 15 drives each, combining those 15 drives via LVM, allowing the loss of 2 drives from the same group without data loss. This is the same configuration Backblaze use

As I understand it the encryption adds both latency and more points of failure to S3 (keys stored on separate servers). How is adding both of that negligent? From a security point of view the encryption adds no value at all: Either I trust

Your script sequentially scans ports 1 to 65535 of a given host. My nmap command line does the same. Fair comparison in my opinion. Of course nmap has more complicated command lines, but then again, your script would be a lot longer too if

And you are sticking it to that industry by ... doing the same? It doesn't matter if you call it squatting or "domaining", in the end you are blocking thousands of domain names on the hope that someone needs that name so much that he will p

Let me give you some advice: The hard part about URL shorteners is not the coding work, it's keeping that thing up. You should keep it online for decades to come, even if you just have a few 100 people using it. There won't be any revenue a

If somebody managed to compromise other customer's accounts via one shared hosting account, even if it is limited to a single server, then I would consider this as Godaddy being hacked.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a very big fan of NFSN and host almost all my stuff there. If you are considering them for domain hosting, consider this tough: * They are not a domain registrar, they are reselling from PublicDomainR

I would still be worried about the domain. If my DNS provider messes up, I change to a new one and I am back within 72 hours (at most). If the mail provider messes up, I change to a new one and I am back within X hours (where X is the TTL s

There are multiple threads on HN already answering your question, you can find them via the search function. (This comment is not meant to cry "double post", just as a pointer for your to look for more information on GoDaddy alternatives).
