Unfortunately, I can't recommend anything, but I'm not a wide reader on the topic so my knowledge is limited. Perhaps I was a bit hard on that book, my expectations were that it wo…

I can't. I bought with some high expectations, unfortunately I knew almost everything in it from a couple of years of using ssh to my several VPSs. I was quite disappointed at the …

FreeBSD's jails have had a lot of work done on them over the last couple of versions. Now that 10.0 is out, could be worth another look.

A friend of mine was a trader of some long term with a particular bank and, because of his length of service with the bank, had to receive a few month's notice of termination. They…

Despite the other commentators' views, I completely agree. My Panasonic's YouTube app cannot ffwd or rewind . WTF! For a video streaming app! Unbelievable. What I do is fire up the…

> because it can't hold atmosphere easily But neither can Mars. Most of its early atmosphere was blown away and that will continue. There's nothing we can do about the lack of grav…

That's neat, you could almost convert me. For Bash, M-# (alt-shift-3) puts a comment token '#' at the start of the current line and begins a new empty line. Handy if you are 150 ch…

Nah, having a "summer break + " that's extended a bit longer ;). I plan to do a crypto course at some stage. + Southern hemisphere

Completely agree. I've done Scala, Algorithms, and one other and Dan's course stands out for its interest, enthusiasm and clarity. Plus it uses functional programming! What's not t…

> emotionally broken at some point in his early development Yeah, that was my first thought when I saw him interviewed. He had no empathy at all. He basically admitted he ran a sha…

I have four VPSs, mostly on different hosting companies. 99% of ssh attacks come from China, the rest are eastern Europe (mainly Romania or Ukraine) or Brazil. The Chinese attacks …

> Early horseless carriages didn't sell well Exactly. Henry Ford paid his workers very well, not out of altruism because he was the one of the most unaltruistic people you can thin…

> self-signed cert for all the people who can access the admin. This is what I do. The browser generates a warning on first use, and I then put the domain in the "ignore" list (sin…

Well, in my case it was because I was a little uncertain of what the various classes meant. This was my pre-university days before I studied networks formally. My first router coul…

One thing I do is put my router and network on a different Class C than the default, for example 192.168.56.0 .

That's the actuality of it. It's all based on seniority.

> DVR Which DVRs? Mine had better not be doing that.

for arg instead of for arg in "$@" is gold. That is going straight to the pool room.

A late reply for anyone still reading... I've been here for far longer than you and I'm still stuck in the 300 karma range. Why? Because of my timezone. Most people are asleep when…

Hawaii did in the 70s when I lived there. Don't know what the current situation is.

Do you know if either of those two methods do tcp-over-tcp, or is it tcp done correctly?

Fines aren't a tax deduction.

Ha. Not for a while now, though. Deckers has 95% world market share. I can remember the trademark battle a decade or so ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugg_boots

Because I live in WA, I used to read The Australian to get Australia-wide news and decent political analysis. I don't bother any more, it is absolute rubbish now and has been for a…

I'd say Malaysia, myself, with their growing radical Muslim extremists, and the instability caused by the institutionalised racist attitudes to Chinese and other "non-native" Malay…
