You Sir, are an intelligent, lucid, and well-written AC. I hope that you have a Slashdot account, and are just posting anonymously for this post, as you make good points, written well. If you don't have an account, please make one.
caluml: Horizontal scrollbar in a GECKO browser, only over-zealous privacy advocates and perverts disable JavaScript. Your site is weak-sauce as is anything you even think would stand up as a viable criticism of my work. My site is Drupal powered. Why they can't wrap the site "tag" if it's too long isn't anything I care to worry about.
I don't uphold my site as a bastion of web excellence like you do. It's just my homepage, for me to write about stuff I think of. I'm all for webpages being compliant [X]HTML - if mine isn't though, as long as it looks OK in Firefox, I'm fine.
So you're saying I'm a pervert because I disable Javascript? Nice logic there, Batman.
Your "News" box looks absolutely awful in Firefox on Linux. Just thought I'd let you know. All the bits overlap.
I loved Fark - especially the funny headlines, and the memes - but I haven't been back to it since they changed the layout. Looks absolutely shite on a laptop screen. Blinding white. Adieu, Fark, adieu
Yep, is that site some sort of ironic parody? Like using all the horrible nastiness it can find? Like a huge popover saying:
JavaScript is required to be enabled in your browser in order to view this website correctly.
This site does not abuse JavaScript or any other technology as the primary purpose of this site is for educational purposes.
This message will not disapear[sic] until you have enabled JavaScript and reloaded the page. Uh-huh. I'm not disabling NoScript for that gaudy, horrible looking site.
Well, I always use encrypted partitions for equipment that could be stolen - laptops, or my home PC - but I wouldn't consider it for servers.
This makes you think though.
I don't know of anyone who has gone to the gate level to tune software - I've never found it necessary to go beyond a high-level definition of the processor, the sizes/speeds of the caches, the lanes between the segments, the length of each pipeline segment and other such information that can be basically listed.
And you're there. Also, imagine having to do some task on 50 webservers. Would you rather script it once, and feed in a list of IP addresses? Or VNC/Rdesktop in to each one, click, click, click, drag, click.
I seem to remember reading something that said that you shouldn't take into account sunk costs when making decisions. You should remind yourself that it's sunk, and make the decision based on the future.
You know, if you'd slipped a Goatse in the middle of that, there'd be a lot of bleached eyeballs.
Hands up - who just went middle mouse, middle mouse, middle mouse, etc...
Google. Please, please, please if you're reading this - switch IPv6 on to your services. It might be the "content" that people say is needed before mass change.
And Slashdot - for fucks sake - one of the most techie sites of the net, still suffering with the "meh, we're American, and we've got enough IPv4 addresses, so we're not bothered with IPv6" syndrome.
I just can't get over that mentality. Build an IPv6 kernel. Get a/48 of IPv6. Tweak your code and database entries (if they don't simply handle an Inet field). Put in AAAA records. Hire me. I'll do it for you.
I also had a problem with Grub that I spent about 2 days trying to fix. I can't remember now exactly what it was, but it was something to do with a raid controller, Reiserfs/XFS, and something else.
And when you're building a server, you can't sit searching the web all day.
Lilo works. I'm not going back to Grub.
Same with Russians too. Why waste facial muscles or time smiling at someone that you don't know? Why waste time chit-chatting in a shop? Mind you, they take it quite far - being told to get out of a shop because "I'm on the phone!" was unusual.

So, go on - tell us - what ports were open?!
And then how will I find my pictures of goats in latex coats?
at which point it will 'magically' disappear.
Wow man, that sounds so coooool! I'm going to get one of these...!

Meh - if it compiles, it's good enough!
Arse. Messed up the link. Here it is again.

I see what you did there...
OK, so we've got your birthdate.
Say, did you ever have a pet when you were young? What was your first pet's name?
Apophis is the Greek form of the name for the Egyptian Demon Apep.
Shouldn't that be apophisd and apepd respectively?

You pay your servers a salary? You're doing it all wrong...
Yep, that's exactly what (alleged) terrorists have realised. Plenty of large crowds around, and the security queues make it more dangerous. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6916739.stm
Very good :) Simple, but funny. :) I doff my cap to you.
