This reminds me of a Grigori Perelman quote (the guy who turned down the Fields Medal and the Millennium Prize on principal): "There are many mathematicians who are more or less honest. But almost all of them are conformists. They are more

This is why I stopped releasing source code. Idiots who want 15 mins of fame and constant attention but cannot create, so they consume what others create. You own the copyright. The declaration is an option. If you have been financially dam

Be sure to push your DNS through the OpenSSH tunnel too, or they'll see your client's DNS requests. Here is a very short write-up on safe web browsing while on untrusted networks: http://16systems.com/OpenBSD/untrusted.pdf

Forensic guys want to take images of the storage devices. They use tools such as dcfldd or purpose-built devices (Tableu) to do this. They'll then analyze the images and probably never touch the guy's hardware again. It will sit in a eviden

Most who are fairly paid, valued and treated as human beings won't "walk out". If they like the area and have friends and family close by and they are respected by the company, they will stay. Disrespect them (low pay, no pay raises, no dow

These scanners are pretty much worthless. They are written by script kiddies for accountants who pretend they know something about IT when most of them have never administered a system.

Does anyone worry about the built-in Law Enforcement Access systems that the cloud services have? Bruce Schneier wrote an essay ( http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/01/23/schneier.google.hackin... ) describing why that was bad and how it play

Some desktops apps should not be in the cloud. Letting the cloud generate your passwords is a bad idea. Complexity kills and the cloud ain't simple. Who has outsourced what to where?

Why you should not use the cloud: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjfaCoA2sQk Yes, it's funny, but also very true. Many of us have to actually deal with all of these buzzwords. You can't outsource responsibility.

100 years ago they were predicting that the world would starve to death because of the industrial revolution. "All the people are moving off the farms, who will grow food to feed us? We will all starve to death. More and more babies are bei

It's easy... rather than the Ctrl+A key sequence that you use in screen, use Ctrl+B in tmux. And to reattach, rather than screen -r, tmux attach does the trick. That's 90% of the usability difference.

After this, can we still make fun of C++? I use it daily and love it. Sure, it takes someone with a brain to use it, but once you learn C++, nothing else comes close for speed and expressiveness... seems FaceBook just verified that. So whil

If the processors are responsible, then they were doing it right before the acronym PCI ever existed. To become compliant costs money (audits, quarterly scans, self-assessments, etc.) but it's not that expensive and it's what they are in

by 0wned 17y ago
Speaking as someone who deals with this on a daily basis, I say not true. PCI is common sense written down into an "industry standard". You don't have to do it, it's not a law. But if you want to continue to accept CCs, then you should comp

Linux is notorious for that sort of thing. Look at the Linux Documentation Project. The installation how to was written in 1999 and has not been updated since. I use Debian and know enough about it from use over the years to do most anythin

Add or remove RAM (basically change the amount) clear NV memory three times (you'll hear the dong 3 times) and that will clear the OpenFirmware password... at least on older PPC Mac Minis.

You mean simple things. The preamble to the GPL is longer than the entire ISC license... by like 5 times. GCC is like 100 times more complex than PCC. BSD folks like simple, secure things.

I think in C++... if you want to be sure the method/function does not alter the data globally and speed is not a concern, then pass by copy. If you want the method to alter the data globally, then pass by reference. If you want speed, but d

Try mingw and msys. You can compile static, stand-alone C or C++ code for distribution.

Best advice ever! Unplug from the 'Internets' for a year while you follow this advice or, if you must, only connect with a dial-up modem. I went with OpenBSD and C++ and that has taught me more about bits and bytes than the college degrees

Complexity kills. Rich Internet Apps will kill all operating systems... except for OpenBSD.

I use both. The only big difference? Besides the license? Screen uses 'Ctrl+A' while tmux uses 'Ctrl+B' and screen -r (to reattach) is replaced by tmux attach. That's it, for me at least. tmux seems to have a lot more features, but I only u
