Yeah. Communism is great in theory as well. It doesn't work though.

I just use Vultr and install from a FreeBSD downloaded ISO. No modifications to the base install at all and works as expected. DO have screwed something up with their configuration…

I hate it when clearly American authors always equate Libertarianism with Capitalism. Originally Libertarianism was an idea that grew out of left wing politics (socialism and commu…

This just makes me embarrassed to be English. What were the Tories thinking of? They claim to be trying to save public money by cutting down on arguably essential services and then…

Windows 8.1 on my main computer but I use VMWare Workstation 10 to run virtual machines running Linux for development work. Windows 8.1 is really only their for day to day tasks su…

More power to him for finding a workflow that works. The only thing that would stop me from using a similar set up for writing is that there isn't a DOS version of Spotify :(.

When I was travelling I split off from my friends for a couple of weeks and had to eat alone. I quite enjoyed it actually. Doing a bit of discreet people watching is always interes…

For me the advantage of Ubuntu over Debian is that I know that each LTS release of Ubuntu will be supported for exactly 5 years. That means that at the time of deployment I can alr…

Music and being up late when no one else is around do the trick for me. I find if I try and work during the day on anything that requires real concentration then I end up being dis…

Just because a person may have a mental health condition that has no bearing on their intelligence. You'd know that if you actually knew what the fuck you were talking about. It's …

Thank you for the correction.

People pay $800 monthly premiums in America?! And they still say that their system is better than "socialised" health care systems? Madness. Why not just pay our relatively low nat…

There is an editor that already does what you state that works on every main stream platform, has a great extension language, has a huge library of already existing extensions and …

Thanks for the comment. I'll look into EasyDNS and see what services they provide. I may well take your advice and just go with a normal DNS deployment and then later on when I hav…

I don't think I claimed that implementing DNSSEC was easy. But I'll certainly take your advice about reading the archives to get some perspective.

As the title really. Should I make the effort to enable DNSSEC for my start-up? At the moment I'm currently using Amazon Route 53 but could move to custom DNS servers if supporting…

Yep. SES has been brilliant for me so far, especially when you take into account the price.

Can anyone recommend a payment processing company that supports micro transactions (down to as low as £0.10 or so) at all? I've looked at numerous companies and they all seem to ch…

I think the real lesson here is to choose technologies based on actual experience rather than hype. So that means extensive testing before nailing your colours to the mast.

Sure, if you have a stately home I could imagine the reason for it. No one wants to walk for 10 minutes to go to the loo in the middle of the night. But a normal 3 - 5 bedroom hous…

You mean an actual bathroom or a room with a toilet and sink in? If it were the latter I would understand but three rooms with an actual bath? In a three bedroom house? That is abs…

Seems surprisingly modest. 5 bathrooms though? America makes me laugh. Apparently a house isn't worth much over there unless you can take a dump in a different room everyday of the…

There is nothing in Django that makes it inherently unsuitable for untrusted users. There are plenty of authentication / authorisation modules available for it such as OAuth2. Plus…

While I appreciate the sentiment this obviously comes from an author who has very little Unix experience in general. For instance he claims that Darwin is an odd duck and that "Thi…
