"Immediately there should have been an armed response. Heavy weapons, armored cars to the area that the perimeter was breached. The airport should have been locked down." Even if this were a legitimate attack, isn't this sort of response

You do realize the vast majority of AK-47s (at least those available in the US for less than $10k) are semi-automatic, right?

I can't stand Social[Cam|Reader] style apps. I've always found it to be rather annoying to click on an article or video shared on Facebook, only to be told I need to grant permissions to an app. It just motivates me to hide all posts from t

Totally mess up the deer? I'm not sure how you've come to that conclusion. An AK-47 fires a 7.62x39mm round, which is smaller than rounds like a .30-30 (7.62x51) or .30-06 (7.62x63), commonly used for deer hunting. And as I mentioned in ano

While a Rem 700 would certainly be a more accurate and effective rifle, it is also significantly more expensive to purchase and feed than an AK variant or SKS would be. 7.62x39mm is dirt cheap, as are rifles capable of firing the round, and

Puppet provides a mechanism called Exported Resources allowing nodes to provide bits of config for use by other nodes. For example I presently export Nagios check resources for webservices on my web nodes, which are collected by my Nagios s

This doesn't sound right. Since when does Spamhaus police site content? I'm pretty sure they primarily go after folks sending out spam email, not after websites containing spammy pages.

They could always expect SOPA to increase domain sales. After all, many of these "rogue" sites use what could be considered disposable domain names, so odds when a domain is seized, it will soon be replaced by a newly purchased domain.

You could always buy the device outright instead of letting AT&T subsidize it.

Anyone else find this sort of thing terrifying from a security perspective? Taking a webapp, still under development, often running under a developer's user account out of their home directory, and exposing it to the internet at large? shu

Even on traditional BIOS systems, you can do tricky things like use isohybrid to generate an iso that can be either burned to optical media, or directly dd'd to a thumb drive and booted (using syslinux). Another approach (my personal one) i

I dunno about you, but when I'm going through SFO, I actively avoid the folks in the "Free Speech" cubicles.

The author's misuse of the acronym DOE is rather distracting -- DOE typically refers to the Department of Energy here in the US. The Department of Education (or Education Department) typically uses "ED".

Obviously I'm an edge case, but I'm not using a graphical file manager, so I can't use the drag and drop method of providing a file. Have you considered allowing users to specify a file by URL, or the browser's browse mechanism for file inp

Rackspace Cloud instances are cheaper than Slicehost. Slicehost's 256MB ram / 10GB storage instance will cost you $20/mo. The same provisioned through the Rackspace Cloud control panel costs $0.015/hour or ~$12/mo.

While I don't agree with an employer or job site filtering web access, following a two year old blog post on circumventing a client's security measures borders on irresponsible and stupid. You may think of it as only bypassing some web filt

I'm not sure I understand the need to organize new innovations into "generations". I see the current tablet offerings as a solution to a different problem than the one PCs currently solve. The idea that tablets are "post-pc" seems far too l

Depending on how Alien Dalvik works out, Meego may be able to take advantage of the existing Android ecosystem, while keeping the really nice bits of Maemo/Meego like telephony/messaging/address book subsystems.

Interestingly I don't see any mention of your robots.txt, or if the scraper identified themselves in the UA string. If the person or organization running the scraper is legit, they would probably like to know their software is misbehaving,

No, you're clearly not a security expert. If you're doing a git clone over HTTP, you can't even be certain you're talking to the right git repository. Sure, each and every commit may be checksummed, but how exactly do you anticipate knowing

I've never understood why people regard a disc image that installs a custom set of packages from existing repos belonging to an existing distro as an entirely new distro. Does this mean I'm authoring a new distro every time I write a Debian

Keep in mind that this likely isn't just a political move, but a strategic move to prevent impact to other customers. This sort of site will commonly draw attacks that have a major negative impact on the hosting provider, while generating m
