... because governments spying on their own people are much more dangerous to your privacy than the neighbour wiretapping a conversation. Since governments can simply wiretap your provider, I'd suggest to keep private information off the line at all times.
There are dozens of free dns services. Akamai knows this problem. But for some reason, they don't take appropriate measures.
Their DNS can serve an IP based on the geo-location. If visitors are using a dns server that is known for hiding the actual location, I would suggest serving the IP of a redirect-only HTTP server. The client connects to this redirect-only HTTP server and the server returns a "301 Location:" header based on the clients actual IP/location.
This will make the initial connection for users of Google DNS/OpenDNS a little bit slower, but then allows the available bandwidth to be used optimally.
or 3) Slow down the development of a native cross-platform FF H.264 solution by making it less people depending on it. Effectively making windows a requirement to watch H.264 video's.
Well, sometimes it actually is by accident. I have spoken to a few parents about their kids' internet usage. 3 of them told me the exact same story: their own kids in the age of 7-12 were looking for kittens, as in "Felidae". When they typed "poesjes.nl" (poes is the Dutch word for a cat) they got pussy, as in "vagina", instead.
I think the real problem here is not that these scalpers buy the tickets, I think it's artificial scarcity.
If I had a big bag of money, and decided to buy every single CPU i could get my hands on (so everyone wanting to buy a computer has to pay me), you would see that manufacturers would be very happy and simply double the production. I'd be stuck with a lot of CPUs, and consumers would have no problem.
Now, for some reason, when tickets are sold out, artists don't use this method. If every time tickets were sold out, they immediately announced to extend the tour, there would not be a problem: both artists and promoter would have extra income, consumers can see the artist at normal prices, and the only ones that lose, are the scalpers.
I'm sorry, isn't this Slashdot? Why isn't anybody asking about Linux support? A while ago, I read that Linux wasn't ready for 3TB drives yet. Is it now? Do we need 64bit Linux to use this, or is there a solution like PAE is to the 4GB memory limit? Is the bundled HBA supported?
I'd love to use this disk to store multiple snapshots (rsnapshot) of my fileserver...
Yes. Silent updates suck. Well at least, for people that want to control their own computer, it does. But for my sister, my dad, my great aunt and all these people that think i'm their personal helpdesk, this is perfect. I've seen so many family members who had 2 year old browsers and stuff...
Sorry, I don't agree with that. Memcached is not meant for single-server configurations. It's meant to combine the memory of all connected servers, so that if you connect 10 servers with 4GB each, you get 40GB of cache. This won't work if you only allow loopback connections. The admin should block memcached connections on the outer interface. And set the default firewall policy to DENY to start with.
I installed the nvidia driver on my Linux system from the rpmfusion repository. When I run "yum update", yum updates both normal Fedora updates and nvidia driver updates. I could even configure yum-updatesd to update all packages without me even noticing.
Why can't it be this simple on windows? Windows update on Vista/Win7 is okay for updating microsoft software. Now if only third parties could add their own 'repositories' to windows update, this would make updating a lot easier, and computing a lot safer.
If the software is installed with the privileges to install system-wide, it think can install an service with privileges to update as well. So that shouldn't be a problem.
I can very well imagine that you may not want to carry a heavy bag everywhere. I also leave my laptop in the car occasionally. But whatever happens, I make sure they'll never get my data by using full disk encryption. This unfortunately prevents recovery of the unit, as it'll never get online. But the data's security is way more important to me than the hardware.
Even when you've only got port 80 to allow true http, you can still run a vpn using post requests. http://www.exiledmind.net/vpn-tunnel/ shows how to run openvpn through a http proxy.
I'm not surprised at all. Just a few months ago I did a job fixing a computer that controls some part of a multi-million dollar ship. The software requires a specific card, that specific card is only available with an ISA interface.
Since PCI still has enough bandwidth to manage 100% of the consumer sound cards, >90% of the consumer network cards and 75% of all other non-video cards, I think it's way too soon.
I'm having problems with firefox freezing as well. I always assumed it was my crappy video card configuration, but with FF 3.6.4, a lot of speed issues are actually fixed. They've done a great job on this release.
Great for you! Unfortunately, I'm not that lucky most of the time. I'm running about 40 WP sites, the largest being a 25.000+ readers/day site. I have a couple of dozen of custom plugins, which all work perfectly. But with every single upgrade, something breaks.
One time, filters/actions are removed. Another time, getting some option was moved from get_option to get_transient, causing a few plugins to break. Next time, the very same option was moved back from get_transient to get_option.
With the upgrade from 2.9.1 to 2.9.2, time() broke, causing date("H") to switch back and forth one our with a simple reload page. Since some of my plugins rely on a time they can trust.
I really love WordPress, but the upgrade trouble every single time, is driving me crazy.
rsnapshot has no actual snapshotting functionality. It's just a (very useful) wrapper around rsync that takes care of de-duplication. While making a rsync/rsnapshot backup, files on the system can still be changed. For example: A LVM snapshot would give you a consistent MySQL dump if you're using innodb. Rsync/rsnapshot does not.
I read an article a while ago about a guy who uploaded the software of a slot machine to a vmware-like environment. This way, he could revert back to the very same state over and over again. The machine always gave the user the impression that if he had made another decision, he would have won the jackpot. Except for when the user actually made that decision.
So I think any slot machine paying big bucks is either programmed to do so periodically as a way of marketing the casino or otherwise suffering from a serious bug.

If you steal a phone, it'll be blocked before you got to call your criminal contacts. However, if you take the owner along, you may have a few days before it's blocked. So instead of stopping the crime, this is a perfectly good excuse for abducting (and possibly killing) any person that could supply a phone.
