  1. Great, but you need to take for granted that users will care to look at that information.

  2. Great system because it stores the passwords un-hashed and unsalted somewhere.

  3. That's interesting, I wonder how could AD do this without keeping the password un-hashed, e.g. more or less equal to keeping the password in plain text?

  4. Nobody lands in California. People just end up there.

  7. If this law says it taxes in miles traveled, it means miles traveled in any direction. Downrange measurements is not measuring the distance traveled by the rocket, anymore than "distance from origin" indicates exactly how far a car has traveled.

    You forgot about length contraction:

    Or use a ftp reverse proxy like this one for cdn type use cases:

    The following is a real example of a configuration of DeleGate on ftp://ftp2.delegate.org running as a caching-FTP-reverse-proxy. It expires the cache by 1 seconds because it is just for a backup server of ftp://ftp.delegate.org that is, it returns cached data only when the target server is down.

    Just put some memory on the server and sure the files will be cached by the OS in memory in the buffer/cache area.

  14. What about drill collars? They are much heavier than 10 pipes (300 feet of pipe)...

    So I guess what you are saying depends on the weight of collars in the string.

    Anyway, I already said that driller was crazy. Once, he got caught doing it by the toolpusher who ordered him to quit doing it and I was quite happy about that because if the backup cable tying the tong to the A-leg broke, we would have ended up with a flying tong revolving on the floor and killing everything in its path.

  15. Give him a break, he just made a typo and meant to write: "Nadilely".

  16. How many times have you spun a chain? I am just curious. Anyway, I have several times and I am wondering how you could cut a finger spinning a chain unless you intended to. On the other hand, I have seen injuries when the motorman would lose grip on the chain and we basically ended up with a flying chain whip flying around the drilling floor potentially making several rotation around the pipe thus several pass around our heads.

    Basic move to avoid getting hit; crawl on the floor.

    Most OS use mostly standard almost bone stock BSD derived IP stack. Linux, MacOS X, Windows (as admin it can do more than non admin users like raw sockets) do....

    I agree, very clever.

    But nowadays, if you Intel cpu has the special and very powerful vmx flag you can use raw sockets as a regular user process.

    This open great opportunities with regards to in-kernel mode lookups and power efficiency of host only based lookups..

    Also, most tcpip stack implementations lack the presence of hosts in their implementation. In VB 6, one can use hosts.dll to prevent that. Also to circumvent any issues nevertheless, handy is a gidney pig host file that piggies back on the VB 6 udp layer kernel stack.

    Coupled with the speed of kernel lookups inherent to the special host module built-into every OS, this sure stops electricity wastes and cuts down on your power bill.

    Even more; since one would then get less irradiated by electromagnetic waves generated by the extra current used by not using hosts countermeasures, your family will reproduce more given the fact that in-kernel mode always prevail.
