Wow: "We'd like to advise maine.edu to stop using student's names in their hostnames. We've decided, at least for the time being, to hide IP & host information as some user-identifiable information was found in some entries" They put st

Apparently Chatroulette involves a direct connection between individuals, so it's possible to determine the IP address of the person you are connected to. For it not to be a direct connection, Chatroulette would require some pretty heavy re

Looks good and looks like it has a similar feature set to the Slicehost iphone app, with a couple of additions (e.g. activity graphs).

FYI, I've had some really bad problems crop up when using sym links to deploy php releases (php selectively using files from older versions), and I've encountered others who've had similar problems. I don't know if it's been fixed in newer

That first blog post recommended using HMAC for communicating between applications, but then he said that he uses and recommends HMAC to store passwords in his database as well. I think that's what this post is responding to.

You make some good points, and it's probably around the late 1800s that the move to corn grain became more common. I should note also that studies clearly show health benefits of "grass"-fed corn (higher Omega 3s for example). It's true cor

The 1911 book quotes "corn (grain)" as being "used very extensively" for dairy cows, and lists it separately from "corn and cob meal" and "ground corn, cob, and shuck meal"? This does not sound like the grass. However, it does say that the

Actually, you're incorrect. He did not just list people only advocating the use of corn. The titles were advocating the use of corn, but if you actually look at some the references you can see that cows were not being grass fed. Quote fro

We'll probably see more self-publishing, but marketing will still be extremely important for authors.

This is partly inaccurate. You can connect two Google Voice accounts to one number, as long as it is marked as your "home" or "work" number (not a "cell"). However, if you actually used your cell phones in this way, then you'd give up the

You maybe can come up with a technical solution, but the point is that it's not permitted. The article itself offers a solution to the problem of embedding (offering the video through a different website). The article raises more interest

I just did a speed test in Atlanta, GA and got a speed of 25Mb/s according to speedtest.net: http://www.speedtest.net/result/684004348.png So it seems that at least some high density areas in the US do have such speeds.

Google may have even sent the employees home to help protect them. If they seem uninvolved in Google's decision to uncensor, then it's less likely that the employees will face punishment from the Government.

It's nice to see an analysis that looks at more than just CPU. Disk I/O can be very important in some cases. It's also nice to see the tests being done over a period of time, rather than a single day.

Why does this trick you? Because it puts you in a situation where you've already told the truth and can no longer lie? Better is to have relationships with your friends where you simply can be honest. DOUG: Oh great! Could you drive me

On the other hand, I see too many technical people assuming the questioner must be asking the wrong question on IRC and mailing lists. This wastes time, and can be rather rude, when the questioner was perfectly correct to be asking the ques

It would be nice if you could have two Google Voice numbers, one personal and one business. This is because while GV has a lot of logic to allow you to route calls, if you don't already know the person who is calling, there is no way for GV

There are some differences -- we generally choose the doctor and doctor's office we go to, and can relatively easily say no if we find we are uncomfortable with the particular person. Doctors and nurses are fairly highly trained and have a

I think it only "requires" it if you want to copy and paste his code. If you're willing to modify his code, I don't think it's necessary.

One way I have found to get around this is to buy from "small business" sections rather than "home" sections. You're far less likely to have to deal with any random 3rd party crap installed when you order from Dell's Small Business area.

I love it. As newspapers discovered long ago, it's often much easier to read text that isn't a foot wide (less necessary eye movement).

I read a lot of the citations quoted by this guy and they seem to be saying different things than he does. For example he says that fish oil has toxic effects on the liver and cites Ritskes-Hoitinga, et al., 1998. The actual paper says that

While I'd agree about car vs bike, I'd prefer public transporation. On a bus or subway, I can get some pleasure reading done, which I'd rather do.

As ubercore mentioned, some email clients will still break up links. Further, not everything supports html - they are valuable for formats that primarily rely on text: Text-based emails are a lot easier/better with a url-shortener. IRC conv
