Nothing neat to report from Estonia either... but in the IT sector, problems have been somewhat slower to appear. The "capitalist movement" (read: company) where I work during daytime took its first loss since 1998 this April. It may be the start…

The large color-coded car collider? :D

I didn't ask for anything either. I don't mind receiving something, though. (This year it was some sweets and a fairly interesting book.)

Myself, well... I'm vegetarian and nearly vegan, but not strictly so. I still have an appetite for one fermented milk product. It's called "kefir" and is very suitable for mixing with juice. Sadly I don't know the proper English name for it. O…

In some cases, the "lsof" (list open files) command can also show information about net connections. But I do agree that "netstat" is probably a more suitable tool for this.

Will happily observe distant gamma ray bursts any day. Close or recent ones, only if they're pointed elsewhere.

[QUOTE=Vertigo_1;170913]That's interesting, because I've heard the exact opposite.[/QUOTE] Strange. It seems suspiciously like an order-of-magnitude error, perhaps from someone comparing one figure in tons, against another figure in thousands of to…

[QUOTE=PSI-KILLER;170910]To say Earths climate must always stay the same because we humans say so is the most arrogant concept especially when there has never existed a period of perfect balance and harmony in the weather.[/quote] True enough. Bu…

I've never been drunk, and the largest quantity of alcohol I've taken is a few sips of champagne on formal occasions. I don't generally do that either lately, finding something without alcohol to fill my glass with. I don't like the taste, and …

[QUOTE=Chaosed;170883] I still want to know what % of the air is man made.[/QUOTE] I don't know the answer for that... but I have coincidentally read that human kind has volcanism beaten in the business of emitting CO2 so badly... that a single lar…

I somewhat like it. Sure, it ain't an ion propellant driven, solar+laser powered always-in-orbit space tug of the sort I'd like to see (and the sort I'd think would be useful)... but it hopefully gets there, proves itself capable of safe maneuver…

I am from 2007. I'm not sure what I was doing, but it all seemed perfectly ordinary. Then, bam, and everywhere I look, calendars read 2008. Bugs me, but I'm not bothering to go back. :D

Sad to hear. Why must some people go insane... why do some lose any understanding of ethics... and why did yet another manage to waste so many lives? I wish it weren't possible, that everyone could anticipate every attack, and be invulnerable …

Oh... we have rules here? I never noticed, but now that I consider, it does sound like a possibility. Apparently, there's even a link to them. And apparently, some of them are actually sensible advise. The things one discovers, several years…

The "ten foot laser pole" part caught me by surprise. :D :D :D

I'm sorry to hear of such a terrible injustice having occurred, of her loss... and of all which this must mean to you. Unfortunately, useless words are all I have... and I don't even know the persons you wanted to contact. I wish this hadn't h…

Well, at work the computer which gets used to remotely access customers' systems, runs Linux from a fully encrypted root partition, also using a fully encrypted swap partition. Only /boot is unencrypted, but if you really were really worried abou…

When I finally make my choice, I'll pick the one which is least restricted, even if it's inferior in speed or capacity.

[quote]Current CPUs can generate hashes at such rate that any shorter password is quite fast to crack even with brute force...[/quote] Regarding "pure" brute force, with no assumptions about the password's content or length, I would still tend to t…

Plaintext passwords? That is indeed nonsense of political magnitude. Now if the assumption is that passwords are not even slightly similar to dictionary words, reversing MD5 should still be way out of the league of most attackers. Of course, if a…

It's somewhere in between. Looks like [url=http://xs320.xs.to/xs320/07415/bike.jpg]this[/url]. Definitely not DIY, I don't have that kind of manufacturing capability (I can only wish I had). My part consisted of: - obtaining the parts - tighteni…

I just got a passively cooled Celeron 333 refurbished, but I take that won't go. Next, I could recommend a nice little Compaq laptop from 2001. Still using it, but probably no gaming machine. For mean desktop performance, I could suggest a Sempro…

[quote]Would NoScript plugin make any difference?[/quote] NoScript can make plenty of difference, by preventing execution of strange scripts and annoying Flash ads. Most of them are naturally harmless, and can be whitelisted, but some could try hos…

And though the precise quantity of human activity in observed warming trends may remain unknown... ...and even if it, surprisingly and contrarily to properties of CO2, didn't exist... 1) I would still support allocation of money to fusion rese…

I'm sure cosmonauts could add some handy tips on how to use a shotgun... to keep wolves away from the landing capsule until a helicopter arrives... :P ...and generally how to stay alright in lonelier spots of the homeworld, after you successfully…

[quote]Dose that mean all the stories that there was vary little O2 until some microbes started making it is a lie? To say, with out plants there would be little O2.[/quote] I think the two explanations are not mutually exclusive. Oxygen might h…

I would still assume that odd hatches are meant for use in case of fire (perhaps you get to the next balcony through the hatch?) or considering it's Japan, perhaps in case of earthquake (though it remains a bit less clear how a hatch would help in t…

For me personally, PHP is a fine language for simple web apps, but it quickly gets tiring for big systems. A pet peeve of mine is ability to declare variables by simply using them. Makes typing errors in variable names a frequent cause of notable bu…
