Thanks for pointing this out, the content you referenced does go on to mention that we are flexible which is a necessity given how volatile engineering wages in Australia have been over the last 24 months.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a platform to facilitate Tip #4: Idling in a Videoconference Room? Zoom is the obvious choice, but wonder if anyone has built something better for this use case?

Have you called the enterprise support number? What was their response? We are in the same boat, but guess where I have the phone number for enterprise support? Webmail on our domain. Lesson learned.

The other thing this article really fails to highlight is the DDOS mitigation service Cloudflare provides. Cloudflare are disrupting a very established and lucrative industry. Companies like Prolexic charge a lot more for a lot less. Not to

I wonder if everyone is missing a piece of the Cloudflare pricing puzzle. What if they have negotiated contracts with wholesale data providers where they get a revenue share for any traffic they bring into the network? This would mean that

Does it matter? Hasbro didn't think so when Scrabulous became one of the top games on Facebook. Nintendo protects the Pokemon brand very aggressively.

Sorry to rain on the parade, but isn't this simply a clone of Pokemon? You start by selecting one of three monsters (they even resemble the starting three from the orignal game). The battle screen and fight dynamic looks almost identical. A

True, but when used at the same time they are a nightmare. Methylphenidate has a pretty severe crash (at higher dosages) and caffeine makes it much much worse.

I also forgot to mention in my earlier reply the one thing you should DEFIANTLY not do: pay an attacker to stop. I often hear of attacks that are accompanied by an email demanding thousands of dollars via Western Union. Attackers like this

Most clients participating in DDoS attacks are plain dumb. They will continually perform a GET request on a single page and not parse the response. This means they wont respond to javascript, images, cookies or redirects correctly. You can

As far as I know, there really isn't much out there when it comes to open-source. There is OASIS ( http://oasis.sourceforge.net/ ), but I don't think it is in active development. Personally, I'll be moving a couple of openx installs to Goog

While I don't agree with the tactic, it is actually a very clever way of reducing bandwidth usage by Telstra. Most youtube videos stream fine at 1Mb/s. I'd guess that a lot of youtube clips are closed before they are over and any buffered d
