If you are using the network of a hotel or a train station, for instance. Assumption is that you trust that VPN provider of course.

I had heard from square, but never bothered to look up what they exactly do. I've been surfing through their wikipedia entry and website (very nice design!), and it looks very intr…

First of all, I very much doubt that she actually worked 130 hours per week with any regularity. That comes to 18.5 hours per day, including sundays. Even assuming that she could s…

some sport teams are treated more as a toy than an investment by their owners, like Chelsea or Man. City.

interesting! I'll try to show up too

I've looked around a bit, but I didn't find how do you configure the layouts. Is it with a config in a particular language, a la XMonad, or something else?

munich would be cool

"if someone wants to track you, they will find a way." true, but the key thing is how much effort does it take. If NSA-like resources are needed, well then you are pretty damn safe…

nothing. I've discovered I had the same pwd for the panel and for the ssh access, although I almost never use the ssh one. Time to check every password, it seems ...

What are you waiting for to write those posts? I'd love to read how you manage to change your country of residence, and about all the small things that you have to consider.

"the only difference between a Java programmer and a C# programmer is that they use somewhat different keywords and have to program against a different run time library" yeah well,…

I liked a lot this sentence: "Do you have 20 years experience or do you have the same 1 year of experience twenty times" If you have been doing the same thing 10 years without ever…

I am a fan of Guava, not just as a very useful library, but as a way to read really good Java code. Check the source out, it is imo a must if you are a java dev. One thing I'm not …

I try to always fly with Lufthansa, even if it is a bit more expensive. They are usually on time and they serve food and drinks. You can almost guarantee that Iberia will have some…

I think this 'tax amnesty' borders on extortion. So all these companies used every loophole they could find to pay lower taxes, and now they want to bring the booty back, and it ha…

Summary: "We want to fill positions using ancient and obsolete systems that nobody would like to touch, BUT we are not going to pay any premium for it. We wonder why developers are…

geez, Am I the only one that thought that this guy made an ass of himself with this "interview"?

man, I love hearing what Carmack has to say about anything SW related.

For the iPhone, if you want to check if you are sharing your contacts, open the Facebook app, go to Main Menu > Friends, click the icon on the upper right and then Sync Contacts. I…

I read it but didn't do most of the exercises, which amounts to 75% at most I guess
