Entire article in one meaningless quote: "Honey badger employees, though, “say ‘Screw it! I’ll figure out how to do this!’ They’ll find a way to get things done.” says Seidman". Do…

Andrew Carnegie's actions saved lives. Steve Jobs sold shiny tat. You're right - he'll be in some museums; increasingly few over the years, inevitably tending towards one: "The iLe…

We use Cotendo and CDNetworks. Both work, and your 140Mbps is /nothing/ to either. Can't share pricing, I'm afraid. Non-JIT contracts are probably your enemy here, though - there'l…

Come over to the UK and work for us! You're doing what we like to do, except it's all fun and exciting 'n' shit ;-)

Yes, your screenshot shows you putting a CNAME in at your domain's root. The GUI should have disallowed this, as it's not permitted in DNS.

Dreadful article. FTP Must Die is far more technically interesting, accurate and detailed: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie . Their solution to FTP being in the clear is “mana…

Open the www. URL and open the "sign in" link in the site footer.

It's not the "British Facebook", it's someone who bought the domain and pointed it towards Google Sites. See http://www.facebook.co.uk/ .

Just possibilities, not suggestions (I've not used them myself): * http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2011/8/25/java/ * http://aws.amazon.com/amis/6281452482352358 (saves you most of …

Hah! I don't think I'll take that bet :-) I'm bored this w/e, so do get in touch and let me know if I can lend a hand with some back-end systems tuning ... email, or via the phone …

Great concept and nice looking implementation, Henry! I'd not remembered to check it out since you mentioned it in the pub the other (last?) week, but I'll definitely kick the tyre…

KVM gets my vote. It's both free and Free; I personally prefer it to Xen.

Yes, of course. Debt before savings.

3.5mil? Do something interesting. 350k? Splash out on one or two fun or lavish things and put the rest into savings/etc. 35k? Put it into savings.

You're trying to find a technical solution to a people problem. That generally doesn't work. Finding a people solution will yield better results: stretch targets; output quality re…

Agree 100% with this. Good points.

No SEO can guarantee results. They aren't the search engine, so how could they? I'd be interested in the changes to your site, your data architecture and your content that they hav…

Per-block dedupe, I bet, so it'll get benefits at sub-file levels. Though given that the vast majority (by volume) of customer data will be people's illegal downloads, their scheme…

I suggest you stay away from any of the elance/rentAcoder type sites, even if some of their customers seem to offer the skills you want at a price you find acceptable. I gave them …

Reset the machine system state by deleting "C:\Windows\System32\". It's the only way to be sure.

Fairly sure we're still AAA here in the UK. Sounds like sour grapes to me ...

Developers? >:-)

I totally get all these points; is there any literature I can point our devs towards to convince them (a) #2 + #3 don't leave any corner cases and (b) they really should take the t…

Very basic example, but an awesome concept. I keep meaning to get started with R. Can anyone point me towards a decent primer for a mathematically-literate-to-undergrad level audie…
