Dropbox uses https for all of its communication, which makes it a non monitored form of communication. A lot of people use dropbox for sharing files and folders for organizing events. You could also share videos and documents about banned i

The relays still work, the mechanisms to share the relay addresses have changed a bit and continue to do so. Tor's traffic looks like regular https traffic so it's very difficult to block. The tor project makes China one of it's priorities

I take issue with Requirement 5, why on earth would my web server need an antivirus? Other then that everything else is pretty much a no brainier. Where my real issues lie are in the certification's of PCI compliance. Companies charge a lot

I would stand there giving myself little pep-talks out loud, convincing myself to follow through. “Do this. It won’t kill you. It’ll be over soon.” And when I got out of that shower clean and covered in goosebumps I felt stronger and more

Is there proof of this? I haven't heard from my payment gateway and I don't know where to get pci certified. It would smell like a scam to me but they don't seem to be selling anything. Just to note, I have clients who get emails scaring th

I want to take this opportunity to share the Icarus Project, I found it a very helpful place to discuss drugs (legal and not) mental illness and depression. Their tagline "Navigating the Space Between Brilliance and Madness". There was a ti

IANAL but I don't think they can compel you to give your truecrypt passwords as they're in your head. There was an ongoing court case (involving child pornography) about this topic.

I can't comment on scp, but sftp is much faster then ftp. It's a completely differen't protocol then ftp (not to be confused with ftps which is ssl'd ftp). It's basically a tunneled connection via ssh and does everything you'd expect ftp to

On top of that I'll take django templates too, I don't see why it should be too specific. In the end we have html fragments to do with as we please. After using it I'll say it does what it says it would and does it well. It's nice and inter

Django's orm seems to aware of some of it's weaknesses, you can actually write your own queries and return the data as a queryset (with your models) instead of just a dictionary or list of data. I use that to filter some records on a many t

I've had a torrid love affair with cakephp for many years, it works but it hurts you. I started learning symphony which is far from simple but seems to be worth it before I jumped over to django/pyhon. Kohana was my second choice after symp

I've mostly been using django which is wonderful (even more so if you do things their way). The thing I love most about django is their orm, it makes cakephp's orm feel like a toy. I haven't yet used pylons, but I'm thinking that it would b

I'd say yes, but not because I know it will be useful, but because I think it would be interesting to compare people's marketing and customer segmenting strategies.

I like this kind of post, but its not a topic I care too much about anymore. Like the author php pays my bills too, and most of my work is done alone. He doesn't like frameworks for reasons I don't like frameworks, abstractions are leaky. I

Copiers these days can do so much more, they can print, have mailboxes (for storing, archiving, printing from or to), send emails, upload to and download from shared folders, integrate into your applications, send and receive faxes and so m

I'm flabbergasted that they include the php session id in the url after all this time. I don't believe its even an option since php 5 and has been disabled by default for many years.

With python you have Fabric and paramiko which makes automating ssh very strait forward.

The touch pad on the MBP causes me a lot of pain as well. I started carrying around a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer and had the touchpad turn off when a mouse is plugged in. I'm now able to type for long periods of time without killing my

I think you hit the nail on the head. It doesn't matter that people can create their own databases, the NYT can still revoke access and stop anyone from accessing their api. It smells of the ideology behind DRM oddly, maintaining the illusi

It's worth bringing this up from time to time, if for nothing else then to educate new developers.
