I saw a tug-of-war disaster happen once. I was working at a summer camp, and we had a giant tug-of-war with around 50 kids / side at the end of every two week session. I was refereeing and the rope snapped right in front of me. Sounded

50 pages? Ship it already! Seriously, though, if you think it'll save someone some time or effort, it may be worthwhile to hit the publish button instead of waiting. (I'm a cofounder of Leanpub, so I'm kind of biased, and bei

True, but it's extremely useful when you're terminating SSL on Amazon's Elastic Load Balancer and want to know if they've fixed it yet or not. Or, another example, when you want to know for sure that you've restar

I'm totally confused by this. I'm running ubuntu LTS 12.04 and did sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude upgrade openssl and then ran openssl version -a and got the same results as you. How can it be built on Ja

My fave this year is definitely Atomic Brawl: http://atomicbrawl.com/ -- it's a collectible card game played on a game-board, so it's kind of a cross between chess and Magic The Gathering. I spend way too much tim
