I think that's quite an assumption to be making - and particularly on a public forum where the username could then connect to the R word/allegation and cause further issues.
For all we know, the username could be for "Les Rahpem" as a name, or anything else...
And Iceland (103,000 sq km) is just over 1% of the size of Australia ( 7,741,220 sq km) - even bearing in mind that both have uninhabitable regions in the middle of them.
Also I think Iceland is part of the main transocean lines between America and Europe, so has greater access to bandwidth anyway.
All told, I'd guess that the costs of installing infrastructure, intra-city comms etc. are costlier/more problematic in Australia than in Iceland.
Potentially I'd say it was related to this story ( http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/09/freedom-hosting-fbi/ ) about the FBI having control over a number of Tor servers. Initially they were aiming for Freedom Hosting, but if that can do it for one site/service, I'm sure they can do the same for others...
It's probably worth pointing out that the original story is an interview in the Daily Mail ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2423358/Walking-whale-fossil-dating-40M-YEARS-discovered-Peru.html )
That makes it about as trustworthy and reliable as stories on Fox News
However, this means potentially you'd be linked with what the last purchase was before the cash was returned "to the system". Which could be interesting...
Why should the high numbers represent errors, but the low ones don't?
I'd tend more to think that the low figures equated either with a) reclassification or b) having got rid of some people who were constantly trying.
Also, how do you know they were repeated access attempts on a site, rather than attempts at many, many sites, all of which got blocked for some reason or other?
I don't think it's a typo - I *think* it's saying "Trenk has recently completed bid litigation over $100 million" (i.e. he's taken it to trial, to conclusion)
All told it's a vile (and very legal) sentence with no punctuation. The proof-reader in me can't find a way of writing it in a better way though (well, not without rewriting the entire sentence)
I certainly type URLs most of the time rather than the extra layer of hassle / data mining / records that going through [search engine of choice] requires.
Sure, if I don't know the URL I'll go through a search engine. But why would I bother searching for slashdot when I know it's slashdot ?
(Plus having auto-complete/auto-suggest in the location bar - which makes it even easier/quicker to start typing the URL and get there)
The Status for dreamhost is always available on http://status.dreamhost.com , which I understand is a completely separate hosted setup. I know it's been available when the rest of DH has been broken.
They also have a twitter feed for their status, @dreamhoststatus, I think.
Phone support is available, but at a fee. Email / control-panel- based support is (IME) excellent
The best answer to "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" is always "Doing your job. Only better." It won't get you the job, but it's always a great answer.
As for "What are your goals?", I normally respond with something along the lines of either "They're the things I want to achieve", or "They're the milestones on my way to being better". Not exactly helpful answers, but correct nonetheless. Which *really* annoys interviewers.
Yep, and that's fair enough.
But a couple of dozen is still roughly 10 times less tabs than the OP was claiming.
I can understand 24 tabs - maybe even double that up and round it to 50 - for the scenario you mention - but still, 200-300 tabs? Just seems excessive to me.
And how many of those "200-300" opened tabs do you actually use on a regular (daily/hourly) basis?
Personally, I've never really found a use for more than about 10-15 tabs at once - when going through a news reader and wanting to read individual articles, which get 'new-tabbed' - and even then I close them once I'm done.

As well as coffee grounds, I find that cat-shit makes a very useful "anti-unshredding" device.

The FBI had already gained control of Tor boxes against Freedom Hosting - see here ( http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/09/freedom-hosting-fbi/ ). It's not pushing the realms of reason to assume they've done so again for Silk Road.

It would've been far more fun to name that key the "Any" key, which would've erased so much luser confusion about "Hit any key to continue"
That's a system setting, you can mess with it (assuming Admin rights) through control panel.
Control Panel > Users > Manage User Accounts > Advanced
At the bottom, "Secure sign-in" - take the tick out of that, and Apply.
You could access camera from lock screen in iOS6 too - it's not a new feature.

It's got to be better than "Walking in Wales"
Don't they get that anyway, every time they release a new iOS?
(And yes, I know, MS do the same thing with v1 of any of their Windows OS's - never trust 'em 'til SP1 comes out)
They don't/can't.

They're politicians. That means they're neither normal, nor human.

I remember the film, but didn't know it was originally a book!
Aliens, not Alien.

Considering a lot of the humanity I work with or commute with, that's not such a bad plan...

You do realise that this means there are now people of voting age who have *never* been without text-messaging ?
Damn, but that makes me feel old.

I worked with a company that did this. They figured that some people are just naturally unlucky, and threw 25% of applications in the bin
