  1. I don't get it on Amazon Forced To Reboot EC2 To Patch Bug In Xen · · Score: 2

    I really don't get it, every virtualization technology has the possibility to live migrate the virtual machine to a different physical host, vmware, kvm, openvz, xen, everyone has it, for at least three of them you don't need to have shared storage. Why don't they use it?

  2. Re:Oracle = pain on First Look: Oracle NoSQL Database · · Score: 1

    Nope. Postgres still requires that the developer and DBA actually talk to each other every once in a while, whereas Oracle does not. That's its primary value.

  3. Re:slashdot's method on How To Protect Against Firesheep Attacks · · Score: 1

    I guess that would be me, I've been using my real name in all my online communications since I've sent my first usenet post back in '95.

  4. Bluetooth? on Android 2.0 SDK Released, Google Maps Navigation Announced · · Score: 1

    Will it finally be able to send/receive files over Bluetooth?

  5. Re:!Troll on Ten Features To Love About Android 1.5 · · Score: 1

    For data off and on look up apndroid in the market. Really neat app that renames all your APNs, thus effectively killing any data transfer.

    Amen to everything else youve said, not having bt file transfers is equally pathetic as iphone.

  6. Re:Other side of the coin... on Battle of the Ages; Stereotypes Collide · · Score: 1

    No problem. Plenty of old junk available on ebay

  7. Re:how to buy a dedicated on How Much Do You Pay to Host Your Website? · · Score: 1
    Anyone with physical access can be root if you give them a few minutes. All they have to do feign a power outage, shut off your machine, pull the disk, put it in their own machine and mount it.

    It's even easier that that. If it is a Linux box, all you have to do is to add something like 'init=/bin/sh' to kernel parameters when booting. Then, when in shell, remount root partition read-write and off you go ;)
  8. FYI on What Happened to Phrack? · · Score: 1
    This was back in the day when alt.hackers still was "self-moderated" meaning you had to add a specific header saying "X-Moderator-Approved:" or something in order to get your post to propigate across USENET. And you had better include your "ObHack" or you'd get flamed. (Some where quite involved. Like hacking a garage door opener to your beer refridgerator to open the door and deliver a beer to you.)

    FYI, alt.hackers is still pseudo-moderated on majority of servers. And you'll still get flamed for not including an ObHack.

    The Escape key:
    The Escape key is usually in the upper left
    corner of the keyboard. It is usually
    labeled ESC or SEL or can be identified
    by being an Escape key.

    Ha!

    Tell that to my Alpha workstation. My Esc key is actually F11. Go figure.

  10. be afraid, be very afraid... on Default Behavior: Piranha vs. Microsoft SQL Server · · Score: 1
    $ sudo zgrep :1433 /var/log/messages* | wc -l
    373

    i've set my ipchains rules to log connection attempts to port 1433, which is the port of the M$ SQL server. Thats just a 7 days worth of syslog.

  11. RAID 0+1 is an absolute must if you want to seriously serve anything, Linux or not, RedHat or anything else.

    Nice starting point if you are on a budget:

    Software RAID mini-HOWTO
