The Kahnawake Gaming Commission is located inside the Quebec borders, and they operate a large datacenter dedicated to online gambling.. They host many high-profile gambling site.
This is not a "foreign" operation at all.
Will ppl have to VPN through the USA or another canadian province to come back to a QC operated gambling site. That is ridiculous..
Managing hundreds of domains here, from various registrars. Expiration date is expiration date with all of them, it just stops working at midnight. Period.
The only intriguing thing about this article to me is how they got that special treatment of 7 weeks leeway..
And regarding the "Totem Pole" argument in TFA: That is utter BS. I've seen many so-called "developers" unable to perform basic DBA or QA jobs. That is why most large company employ specialist in these positions, to cover the fuck-ups of the developers.
I've seen developers who's first reaction when a complex SQL query is taking ages to run is "I will call my old pal in XYZ dept who is a DBA" before even running an "explain" query to debug their index-less octo-way join with 12 sub-queries.
I am primarily a developer but I also like to understand the big picture, including software design and UX but also system administration, infrastructure, hardware architectures, and everything else that *directly affects the software I develop*.
Deep understanding of the big picture is key to developing quality software, IMO. You need to understand what comes ahead of you (requirements, business needs, etc) and where your work is headed afterwards... The best way to understand it is to wear these hats from time to time or have previous work experience in those fields. When recommending candidate for developer positions, someone who has system administration experience is a bonus.
Yes, many days I need to take on multiple hats and switch gears as shit comes up in prod and I need to fix a config on production servers or assist whoever has the hands but lack the knowledge. That's the start-up culture I guess, even though I work for an established 100+ year old company.
This is an Exchange. They are matching buyers and sellers together. The point where they meet determines the exchange value of the two involved currencies at that point in time.
The exchange provides services to facilitate the transaction and charges a transaction fee. If the exchange is properly managed, they rake a profit on every transactions and can't loose, no matter how the market sways.
The point is not that you can attack lousy website using GET requests. The idea is that HTTP firewalls shoud not blatlantly white-list google bots and other website crawlers in the sake of SEO optimization, because google bot will follow malicious links from other website..
So lets say you have a filter with rules that prevent common SQL injections in GET requests parameters, this is a weak security practice but can be useful to mitigate some 0-day attacks on vulnerable scripts. This protection can be by-passed IF you white-listed google bot.
Any of you who replied that 'military gps' is super accurate.. any reference to your claims? Not denying, just genuinely interested in knowing more about this.
I "free" my cat every eff'ing morning and guess what, that stupid slave just comes back all the time. What a stupid slave, doesn't even understand he can just run away and go free.
I understand your PETA point in the scope of farm animals.. but cats? really? I am the cat's stupid slave, trust me..
Their days of getting royalties on every single copy of windows sold are counted..
Remember that HD-DVD vs Blue Ray war? MS was behind HD-DVD, and sony won with its blue ray..
I wonder if MS would have done the same thing if HD-DVD was not abandoned?
I think they are simply pointing the middle finger to sony in that move..
But they could not work out an agreement with sun to obtain a licence with the terms and price tag they needed. So they did not call their implementation 'java', thus, not infringing on the trademark.
The trial is about patent infringement, not trademarks..

2. Can you spell out the risk of us relying on Sun for support in more detail? I thought Java was largely opensourced
anyway -- so I don't understand why we'd be so worried if Sun went bankrupt, was sold to an unfriendly company or
just decided to act erratically with respect to Java. Is it that we are concerned about the parts that are not
opensourced (e.g., test suite) --that Sun might jack up the license fees or just stop licensing those altogether?

A keyboard is a keyboard. Might not be qwerty but it is still a effing keyboard.

Nice write-up. Extremely complex and awkward in every way if you think of it in real life and according to the current state of technoloy.
Here's my version of a secure transaction at Burger bar
Ask for combo #1
Hand of five dollar bill
Get combo #1 and some change
No trace left and no security risk.
Sure, I need to acquire and carry said 5$ bill in a safe and secure manner, but they way I do it RIGHT NOW satisfies my need for privacy and security.
You do realize I hope that it is an unfair game? Apple can kick google and its apps out of its fenced garden any time it wants.
Like the spoiled kid who does not like to loose.
oh come on, mod this one up
I think you would have more return on your money by sponsoring so called Tom yourself and using CentOS or Ubuntu or whatever other free distro.
My reasoning is, why pay for support if you don't need it? If you want to support postgres developers, support them directly.
Look at apple's profits.
And please stop the sensationalist question mark titles.
good point, mod parent up
+1.... it is like being forced to use the only computer model supplied by your ISP

And I suppose your dBase application can do an index on a HUMAN_IRIS(2) field type?

May be but from a technical standpoint that does not make windows any better.

20 years is nothing. The livermore light bulb is 110 years old and still working. How come we can't beat the technology from our great grand fathers?
+1 to you. Congrats to the Nouveau developers. That is a major accomplishment.
