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're sending deauth messages to every client&#x

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 backups are broken.

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 of existing regulations then they will be fined.

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 still see read/write performance in the region of 1

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 (optionally) sped up.

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 plenty of bloggers able to make the effort to pay u

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 easy as filling out a form on a website and clicking su

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.

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 "expresso".

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 hunch is that this is down to either the Pirate Browser [3] o

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. 2. The Varnish plugin download is behind a self-signed

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, the escape key was in the place of the modern day tab key

I'm more than happy using a combination of Vim (not MacVim) and tmux on OS X. I was spending more and more time in the terminal (running tests, committing changes, etc.) so it made sense to me to incorporate Vim into the window as well. FYI

You could probably try setting timeoutlen to something like 500 milliseconds (or whatever feels comfortable). Bear in mind though that this is a global setting.

At the risk of playing devil's advocate, I would argue that giving candidates the ability to use virtually any language or framework and develop on localhost is not necessarily an advantage. When I'm looking to hire a Rails dev then I want

Shay Pierce was the only employee not to go to Zynga [1]. Even though the tweet doesn't explicitly mention Shay Pierce I'd say that the subject is still fairly accurate. [1] http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/167244/Turning_down_Zynga...
