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". Don't waste your time. Truism crossed with BS. without anyth

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 iLearn Institute of Advanced Sycophancy".

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'll be minimum term lengths for most CDNs.

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 “managed FTP”? Fail.

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/ .

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 number on m'webshite (also on devwiki, under "contact number

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 tyres over the weekend :-)

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 reviews; regular 1-2-1s; discussion about career progression;

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 have suggested because, if that's not how they've worked, you'v

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 effectively reduces to being a copy of usenet.

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 a try a couple of years ago to earn some beer money (I'm a s

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 ...

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 time to do it (ultimately so I can put an automation solution

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 audience? (Not that I did a Maths degree, y'see ... :-))

You should /definitely/ head over to reddit. Don't waste your time here. I mean, there are hardly any lolcats on HN. You'll love reddit - go for it! Seriously. Go.

"I've tried lots of things to motivate them and didn't succeed." "I have to nudge them to get things done,constantly." Sounds like the managerial and systemic failure is all yours, dude. If you've not introduced automated systems to track w

You appear to have chosen a domain that is invalid in DNS. RFC1034. Whoops.

As a sysadmin who wishes he'd discovered this book earlier, I have no problem with recommending "The Practice of System and Network Administration" as a great resource: http://everythingsysadmin.com/aboutbook.html It's definitely an OS-
