Again, they need to make it more convenient to get the content you are interested in in the way you like than getting it pirated. You shouldn't have to sign up for multiple services and pay wether you use them or not and be forced to use multiple apps to see the content. If we could conveniently watch all the content we want for a reasonable price then I think few would get the content by other means.
I'm in a similar situation. My biggest gripe with Mac is the keyboard layout. Most other stuff I can get used to. I have managed to get it mostly PC-layout with an external keyboard and Ukulele. The core keyboard shortcuts have weird side effects if I change them.
We were once DDoSed and we first called our colocation guys (that also manages our firewalls) if they could do it, the technician could do nothing. They called their ISP and they quickly found that the majority of the traffic came from countries we don't do business in so they simply blocked (or routed away) traffic from those countries going to our net and the site became instantly accessible again. The ISP has an anti-DDoS service that does this automatically based on some threshold magic. This is a service we are going to get.
I can get used to things being different. But they need to work before I can use them. If you remove an api or functionality you need to provide some proxy or working fallback until the application developers have ported over the functionality to the new APIs. The systray is gone so gPodder minimize to nothingness and needs to be run again to show up. Crazy. It has come to this. I've actually considered switching to Mac because I need my workstation to just work. And it used to do that before Gnome 3 or Unity. I claim to my Fedora 14 at work and won't switch until they have fixed all issues.
Fair competition is almost always a good thing..NET probably pushed some good things into other languages like Java. However, let it pine for the fjords.
Everybody seems to buy eachother this week. By the end of the year the Internet is run by three companies: MicroApple (software), HP (hardware) and Ciscoogle (Internet)
We use DenyHosts, a program watching your secure-log for failed logins and after a few of those adds their IP to/etc/hosts.deny. It can also sync with a central repository.
I have been using it almost exclusively for a couple of weeks now and I really like it. My internet-bank is the one thing that does not work 100%. GMail is so fast that I have switched from Thunderbird to using GMail in Chrome.
I switched to Linux a few years back and do the same routine. "I don't use Outlook so I don't really can tell. Sorry". But then they get all clever and say "Here, let me show you" and grab my mouse (which is left handed for starters) and go "...errr... your Windows looks strange". And I go "Strange, or better?" and they leave confused and call the real PC-support.
I have a separate locks-table with lock_id, id of the other record and timestamp. When a user brings up the record it is read only. He have to click Edit to begin editing and thus requiring a lock. This is where the lock table is checked. If there are no locks a lock entry is inserted and its lock_id is propagated to the edit form. Upon saving one checks that it is the same lock id, saves and removes lock. If a user tries to edit a locked record one can give him the option of either wait, or override if the users credentials allow it. He then get a new lock id. The other user either get an error message when saving stating that another one override his edit or some AJAX controller periodically checks the lock and takes action if it disappears. If the user just closes the edit form, forgets about it one can expire the lock by deleting old locks.

Best way to aggregate 100+ sites. I use Feedly.
Like they, their, they're and the like.

It had to be said.
AfriNIC has a shitload of addresses it seems. Maybe they could surrender some or start setting up huge IP infrastructure and capitalize on it.
I expected a long rant from TdR. I was disappointed.
If you say the words different... what then?

Imagine how the platform would flourish once again if Google owned and developed Java.

Make every day sysadmin admiration day and keep the admins happy.

kB = 1000 bytes, kiB = 1024 bytes
kb = 1000 bits. ooh! you forgot that one, you 8-bit/byte zeelots?
Why isn't 1 kb 1024-bits? Ha!
I welcome the change. kB should be 1000. And it should be up to the user to select if he/she want to see sizes in kB or kiB.
Mmmm.... a bunch of HP DL360s with two of those in each. Yummmmm....

Works just fine on the Amiga...
Ooh, wrong century... sorry
Test Drive 2.... the DUEL!
Yes it does

Yeah. Now we can ditch the Speak'n'Spell when we want to phone home.
And title would be better if it said "1/3 of 16 people cannot tell Vorbis from AAC". Duh!
