I agree, this is a serious problem. I see it all the time. But not EVERYONE is like this.
I have a deep understanding of Windows technologies (since NT4, AD, Exchange 2003 through 2008, SQL Server and more) as well as Linux (been using it since 1995), FreeBSD (1993), OpenBSD, Solaris, and more and most opensource technologies like MySQL, Sendmail, Postfix, Exim, Courier, Dovecot, Bind, etc. Hell, even stuff like Oracle.
I also have a deep understanding of programming (C, C++, C#, Java, Perl, PHP, JavaScript, Assembly, and more) and other IT technologies such as Storage (EMC, IBM, NetApp and newer technologies like Tintri), Virtualization (arguably, mostly only VMware ESX), and Networking (Cisco and Juniper switches and routers, all the way up to the really big stuff like MX960s.)
I like to use the right technology for the job. Even though I _prefer_ Linux or Unix based solutions, I will use the right tool for the job. Sometimes FreeBSD or Solaris is better (such as when ZFS is concerned.) Sometimes Windows is the better solution (granted, not often. Mostly just as AD for windows desktops.)
Yeah. We exist. We're called Senior Systems Engineers and Systems Architects. There might be a short supply of us, though. My skills got me a visa and I now live in the SF Bay Area because my employer spent over a year looking for a local and couldn't find one that was any fucking good.
Maybe I don't understand how the internet work. so like, one router in North Korea handles all the connections? I guess other countries have more routers to connect to other countries?
North Korea does not just have 1 router. And most countries do not have 'more' routers. Countries have tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of routers.
192.168.0.0/16 and 10.0.0.0/8 are private IP addresses. You can use the same private range as your neighbour and their neighbours neighbour.
As others have noted, North Korea probably has lots of small networks with a government mandated router listening on 10.76.1.11 on each one of those networks.
I don't see many articles and personal blogs from the people of North Korea. Maybe only the wealthy people can afford internet access?
Because nobody in North Korea posts articles or blogs. (I'd love to see one if there was.) The common North Korean citizen does not get internet access. If you're lucky enough to get internet access (you're of some high status) it is only the internal internet (or North Korean Intranet) not the outside internet. Only the supreme ruling elite get access to the outside Internet.
That is why you won't find articles or blog posts from people from within North Korea....
I don't give a wet fart about celebrity gossip but I can watch some english guy in his basement take apart vintage 70's laboratory equipment and explain it's theory of operation for hours. And I do.
Are you talking about mikeselectricstuff? I watch that channel too!
The parent said he is 6'3 and I can sympathize as I am also 6'3. There is literally NO ROOM for the person in front to recline, my knees are already jammed hard into his seat and getting bruised. The gap in between seats is too small.
Now on longhaul flights (between Aus/NZ and the US) economy seats DO have more room and even fully reclined I fit fine. (It's still a small uncomfortable space, but my legs are no longer being fucking crushed like on shorthaul flights in the US.)
I literally could not fit my legs into the space infront of me on an LAX to SFO light. It's ridiculous.
Flying in economy is only for short people now....
Tox? What happened to BitTorrent Chat? I though the bittorrent folks themselves were making a secure decentralised chat client, it even made news on slashdot once.
The Opportunity (MER-B) Rover landed on Mars January 25, 2004. More than 10 years later, it is still going strong even though it, too, was only expected to perform a 3 month (90 day) mission.
The success and longevity of the earlier Mars rover missions sort of sets expectations that future missions will last just as long....
We of course realise that is not possible. Plenty of missions end early, Spirit (MER-A) got its wheel stuck and got in trouble years ago but Opportunity keeps on running and sets unrealistically high expectations of Curiosity and future missions.
Preferably in more than one country? I have bank accounts in 3 countries: Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. I can use my plastic card from any bank/country anywhere I go.
Works for me.
Never had a problem with a bank account getting "frozen".
whalah is not a word.... seriously. wtf people. It's voilÃ.
As for ZFS, sure, I recommend ZFS. But I'm not sure how i feel about ZFS's dedupe. Besides, the multiple files are still there even if it no longer takes up extra space.
You'd want a script that finds dupes by hash but that will only detect images that are identical copies, not 'simliar' say an image has been cropped or retouched or resized. A program that can find image dupes even with changes like tineye.com would be ideal. Anything like that exist?
In this day and age there is no excuse to not have done your research before hand.
Any time you plan to move somewhere (whether renting or buying but especially if you're buying a home) find out what is available for internet at that address.
In NZ we're rolling out fibre to the premises over most of the country but there are lots of places that get screwed and will probably never get it, so RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH.
Property that can't get decent internet should be worth less because it will forever be less appealing.
Ross was an idiot who gave away his identity when he first started working on silkroad (forum posts asking for help) and many otherr mistakes, poor opsec, hiring hitmen (cops in disguise), and ordering fake ids (another trap) and much more. He didn't even use tor to connect to the silkroad server in iceland which led to that being located and imaged as well.
Ross was truly and idiot and its amazing how long it took LE to find and catch him at all as he was not trying to stay hidden at all.
That said, SilkRoad is still up and doing very well.
They use coinbase which, like bitpay, will convert the btc into usd for the supplier. They will have their usd payment just as quickly as any other payment processor so there is no issue of the price dropping before an item is even prepared for shipping let alone before it is shipped.
Bitcoin is the most amazing thing happening in the world today. It is the internet revolution now taking on the finance industry after conquering the media industry.
So what? Why does the price of bitcoin even matter? Bitcoins strength lies in its ability to be used as a payment processing network - and at a fraction of the cost of traditional payment networks (visa, mastercard, paypal, SWIFT, etc).
Everyone is obsessed with the price of bitcoin (and therefore comparing it to a ponzi scheme because of its price) and treating it as a speculative investment scheme or get rich quick scheme. This is actually very detrimental to bitcoin.
But no. Bitcoins power lies in using it as a payment processing network not its price. It does need some more price stability, however, so this crazy speculation needs to stop.
Umm... what about server passwords? What about core router and switch passwords? What if you work at a telecommunications company and are in charge of the a large part of the network?
Do we want another Terry Childs incident here?
OF COURSE your Boss has every right to know your passwords. Maybe not your personal windows login password, but that is NOT what we're talking about here. Passwords to core and critical systems in a business SHOULD be accessible to senior management in case something should happen to you.
Of course we're side tracking from the OP's original question at this point.
So the solution is to just use croudsourcing outside of the US? If you want to start a croudsourced business, move to Canada or elsewhere in the world?
Slashdot Mirror
It's already opensource?
Ya, no shit. As someone who is from downunder, holy CRAP America is in the dark ages when it comes to its banking and communications systems.
Jesus christ.
And the funny thing is, they are so blissfully unaware things are better elsewhere in the world because none of them ever go anywhere anymore.

Youtube speed test won't tell you anything as youtube content tends to be cached locally at your ISP by GGC (Google Global Cache).
I'm sorry, what?

Have more than one bank account?

Never had a problem with a bank account getting "frozen".
I haven't carried cash in like 10 years. I just never use it.
This is living in Australia, and then in New Zealand for the past 5 years.
In New Zealand road side fruit sellers accept cards. Literally EVERYONE accepts cards, because everyone uses cards.
Cash is pretty much dead here.
Actually.... yeah, we do.
Just because YOU don't give a shit doesn't mean other people don't.
whalah is not a word.... seriously. wtf people. It's voilÃ.

We were planning to buy a bunch of flex system chassis... (after all, bladecenter is now obsolete and replaced by flex.)
Guess we'll be looking at HP now.

Windows 2000 was not a server OS, but it was marketted as a business desktop OS.
At the end of the day though, Windows XP *WAS* Windows 2000 + that annoying blue/green skin + DirectX.
That's it.
I'm somewhat shocked that 1 in 7 american's is dependent on foodstamps to get by...

This is fantastic news, and I hope more major retailers follow.
