That would require an active intermediary, but yes, it should be possible.

Nothing, since those "persistent pipes" are just regular sparse files (just like VM images). Clever idea.

Debian is more conservative with changes - if you want your systems to be rock-solid, go with Debian. The downside is that it's so stable that packages are usually outdated, but in many cases there are more recent backports which you can cherry-pick.

In my experience, Debian's security team responds to new CVEs faster than Ubuntu's, but this is purely subjective.

Github somehow manages to copy stuff to the clipboard with flash player disabled - apparently it's using the new HTML5 clipboard API.

> Being able to just type in the random things you remember from a url / title (I think it combines them) and have FF narrow down the alternatives, -fast, is something I haven't found in any other mainstream browser.

Chrome has exactly the same feature. You can disable Google Instant, too, but it's actually a really useful feature.

In most countries, this is (rightfully) illegal. You have a right to privacy, even in public places, and this includes not getting filmed arguing with your girlfriend by a stranger who then publicizes the video.

Not always.

Does not support the hardware offloading though, so you're not getting the advertised processing speed.

There's fish: http://fishshell.com/

Also, a nice experiment: http://xonsh.org/ (Bash-alike with embedded Python)

If you're writing shell scripts, you might as well write Ansible playbooks. You can use Ansible playbooks locally without the SSH layer.

Bash/sh is a horrible programming language.

Quoting a Reddit comment (https://www.reddit.com/r/lolphp/comments/3eaw98/mt_rand1_php...):

The problem is way worse than you think. Check out what this looks like when printed in hexadecimal: http://3v4l.org/XVTgS

Basically, what is going on is that PHP_INT_MAX is 2^63 - 1. mt_getrandmax() is 2^31 - 1. The way mt_rand() makes a random number when the limit is too large is that it makes a random number in the range [0,2^(31)), then it scales it to be a number in the range [0,MAX-MIN), and finally adds MIN.

So in your case, it scales everything by 2^32 and adds 1. Which is why the numbers are* extremely non-random. [See my other comment in this thread for a more detailed explanation and some more test scripts that prove this is what is happening.](https://www.reddit.com/r/lolphp/comments/3eaw98/mt_rand1_php...
