Rogue APs are generally defined as APs that you don't manage but have been connected to your wired network. Obviously this could be a significant security risk. I don't think they'…

How do you know if your backups are good? Better to test a restore when everything is still working fine rather than waiting until you really need it and then finding out that your…

I assume you're meaning the message on the first slide? Hit the right arrow on your keyboard.

I think so. Mariott made a request last year asking for permission to block "rogue" access points from inside their hotels. This is the response.

My interpretation of this was that it was more of a reminder to hotels and convention centres that they're not exempt from the existing regulation. If they're found to be in breach…

I have a 1TB SSD in my late 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina and System Information is reporting that it has a 4x link. Even with the additional overhead of having FileVault enabled I s…

iOS 8 has timelapse, implemented as a series of photos taken a few seconds apart and then stitched together. This appears to be a video stream that is then smoothed and then (optio…

I have 2 invites left, if anyone wants one. Email is in my profile. Edit: both gone

The Ghost Foundation is a UK organisation and I can assure you that USD is not the default currency here. If they're willing to make the effort to accept USD, I'm sure there are pl…

Ghost and WordPress offer hosted blogs as well as source code. It's no longer necessary to worry about servers or FTP details just to get up and running. Creating a blog is now as …

While not quite the same as having FTP access Ghost do offer hosted blogs from only $5 per month. Anyone that can set up a WordPress.com blog should find Ghost just as easy.

If you're referring to the browser screenshot I think it's Opera (which is now based on Chromium) rather than Firefox. That will at least explain some of the similarities.

Whilst the site is down here's a link to their successful Kickstarter from last year that gives a bit more information about the project - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mars…

Completely off topic, but if you were going for the coffee vibe it really should be "Project Es presso". As a coffee fan, a small part of me dies every time I hear someone order an…

In this Foreign Office memo [1] from April 2006 "Firecrest is the FCO's IT infrastructure; it sits on the desks of our staff around the world. Firecrest is a globally-networked des…

A quick heads up, but at present your application is in violation of the SDK terms and conditions. 2.2.5. Unless otherwise provided in an agreement between you and Leap Motion, you…

I'm pretty sure that this is just temporary as it's part of Yahoo's Thirty Days of Change ( http://www.yahoo.com/dailylogo ).

Maybe a botnet has started using Tor for connecting to a central command server? Might help explain a doubling of nodes but minimal traffic increase.

The number of directly connecting users from Russia does appear to have doubled [1], but this can also be seen in UK user numbers [2]. For such an increase to be seen globally my h…

Not had much luck with the two plugins I've tried to install so far: 1. The Nginx plugin has a broken init.d script. Not the end of the world, but hardly a plug and play solution. …

A few months ago I erroneously port scanned our office HP networked printers (I meant to scan our internal servers but a typo meant I selected the wrong IP range). As soon as nmap …

This is now the 5th time you've posted the exact same link to HN. What's changed?

This may just be an urban myth but afaik Vim uses hjkl because the terminal[1] that it was originally used to write Vi had a keyboard where the arrows were on those same keys. Also…
