    Seems I'm the idiot then, missed the "gateway" bit... so this basically sits between something providing VNC/RDP and makes it accessible with just a web server?

    It does say... "once Guacamole is installed on a server" so one would guess you do need Guacamole installed on the controlled machine...

    One would hope Tesco would cover any costs incurred by customers that are a direct result of this. I know banks in the past have cancelled non-arranged overdraft fees when they've …

    I'd rather keep my money in one place - if you've got 3 accounts in separate banks that means 3 accounts to pay attention to to make sure nothing is going out that shouldn't and al…

    Sounds like you're describing a mistake there...

    I would :) Was going to run the tests myself later but needed a box with python3 on it!

    "In conclusion, JSON is not a data format you can rely on blindly." - that suggests the format is bad when it's highlighting problems with the parsers. I see it like saying "Plain …

    Wrote my own JSON parser ( https://github.com/MJPA/SimpleJSON ) a while ago... not sure how it's a minefield unless I'm missing something?

    Is it really an internet wide outage? Only 2 of the points in the US are affected on https://www.whatsmydns.net/ for the domains we've got on Dyn - same for Twitter etc

    Ah yes, so they do. My lack of sleep is showing! For some reason I was thinking the readdir would run in series so output would go up by ~1s each time.

    Ah yes, completely skipped over that bit :P

    Is this another case of "here's the code I ran" when in fact they didn't? There should be 3 lines of output, not 6! Also, the code says it will print the time taken since the start…

    www.centos.org works for me, but mirrorlist.centos.org (what I want!) doesn't work for me.

    Same for me. If a request comes in via email, it stays there - takes more time to copy the request to somewhere else and then find the email again to reply to it. My (work) inbox c…

    A 30s gap over an entire race isn't that big of a deal, Hamilton won the 2008 British GP by over a minute but that was changeable conditions. Watch the first lap of any race and se…

    I'm guessing it takes a higher resolution image than what the device would use? The sites I tried ended up rendering wrong in terms of what media queries were used...

    There is of course the maintenance issue... what happens when their script is updated and breaks how you use it?

    I'm not convinced by their salted claim, I thought Drupal 6 (what drupal.org is on) only did MD5() for passwords? Drupal 7 has the more securely hashed passwords.

    Surprised there is no mention of the 'free or pay' option. Wonder what would happen if Facebook etc gave the option to pay a set fee per year to remove all ads / sponsored posts fr…

    "where we want people to copy us" - presumably so they have more people to sue?

    If i'm reading it right, you basically pay 3% tax on any unspent cash (under the non-depreciating assets) - how does that make sense?!

    You don't need a wildcard for domain.com + www.domain.com. I've got several cheap (~$7) certificates that have both listed
