Does their DNS do MX records? It only mentions A, AAAA, and SRV.

Might this have born from the "you can do anything..." mentality that parents have been telling their kids for the 80's and 90's children? FYI, I am one of those. Though I was fortunate that my parents taught me also how to work hard, think smart, and be a realist.

I agree with you on most points. But what to do about it? It seems that better parenting would be the place to start. Instead of sending kids to college/university when they turn 18, have them: travel, come to work with parents/friends/family, dine on the Khan Academy, start a business, get a job, have kids, volunteer, watch TV, do nothing.

This sounds vaguely familiar with what you do after college and could be better for you. In my current position there are two gents that do the same thing as me, have more experience, and get paid about 30K more, and are 15 years older than me. They never received a BS or similar level education. While I went to school for 4.5 years and spent 120K in the process. Though I feel my education from RIT was well worth it and regret none of it. It is all about how you do with what you have.

You pay your own taxes now.

No. Each rack holds 30 servers and each triplet holds 90. The battery cabinet can support 2 triplets.

You seriously don't know what you like to do?

The best time to fire someone is the first time you think about it.

Should have heard the talks at Schmoocon.

There is no way the server would know the mac address of the client unless the browser stores and shares that information. This is not how currently implemented networking protocols work.

Heard of torrent-finder.com ? Same thing and DoJ is after them: http://torrentfreak.com/u-s-government-seizes-bittorrent-sea...

Cassandra is just an awesome piece of software. I hope that anyone who has not at least played with .7 to go to http://cassandra.apache.org right now, download it, and follow the quick start guide.

Currently I just run BOINC on them for World Community Grid. Wouldn't mind helping out some other projects or entertain some idea if it is feasible.

Is TNW a serious news source or a spoof? This seems rather too easily generated from just the information that was in the README file.

Using one (or a mix) of hardware vendors entrusts your infrastructure to a single party as well. Unless you are making your own hardware?

What mediums do you two sell your books through?

Cassandra .7 keeps track of it for you as well.

Step 1: Write your Representative. https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml

Step 2: Tell your friends and family to write their representatives.

Step 3: Search for your representative's contact information and call their office. Send them a fax. Go in personally.

Step 4: Pray.

Step 5: (If required). Join the legal movement that we will create. Follow on http://www.eff.org

Step 6: (If required). A technological solution can and will be created.

This is a very dangerous viewpoint. You should not ignore security simply because the data exists somewhere else. If data exists in multiple locations it is all the more reason to try and keep it safe.

Some simple steps can be taken to protect data integrity and security:

-Don't leave the data connected to the Internet 24/7.

-Power off the storage medium when you are done with it.

-Keep it in a physically safe location when not in use.

-Encrypt the data or the volume.

-Have a backup of your backup on a different medium and if possible different location.

-Don't advertise the data.

These are activities which are easy to set up and can help insure a more pleasant digital lifestyle. You could go to more extremes but then it becomes invasive. Not worrying about it much because you find it unlikely or just don't care is bad. Not worrying about it much is what you want to do because you have taken the important but easy steps to keep yourself safe.

The only explanation of what they are doing is "simply put." It appears from the drawings that all they are doing is changing DNS records to point to a secondary server. Except in doing that, if the attack is using DNS to find the target, it does nothing as the change would be available to everyone. If the address is hard-coded, good deal, easy fix, administrators have been doing that for years. Someone else care to comment with a little more details?

Not true. My friends and I discuss this often. There are some people you don't want to tell, those that obviously will get jealous or tell the world. But friends? Friends are friends for a reason!

Though, using someone else's salary point as a reason for your salary is not really a smooth move. No two people are the same, and just because you make more or your friend makes more, doesn't mean one is better than the other.

Can someone please explain how twitter is worth 3 billion?

Thank you very much. I have been looking for a better search for KA and instant results are a plus.

Ender's Game comes to mind. Win. Period.

With all of the freemium articles lately this is a pretty decent aggregation of the arguments. I would like to have seen more information on what did not work for others, but I understand that information may be hard to come by.

Do you need investors? I know it is always nice to have the money but it seems like you may be better off without. Are you actively looking or just making contacts, etc.?

How is this the fault of the institute? If people are pursuing what they want, and the institute is providing it, then they are succeeding in sharing knowledge. Isn't this the mission statement of most colleges and universities? There are reasons schools like ITT and University of Phoenix exist; and a whole different reason for schools like MIT, RIT, Standford, etc. to exist.

People need to realize that there is no need for 175k history major graduates each year and that they will probably never use their degree. The same goes for many other majors, but you know what, if you love it, pursue it, right? Isn't that what entrepreneurship is all about? Just be realistic about your path.

If the cost of schooling is getting out of hand then the people paying for it should do something about it, as some already are. See University of Puerto Rico: http://www.workers.org/2010/world/upr_0520/

Couldn't they just move CL out of the US and be done with it?

Prith Banerjee, HP's senior VP of research at HP Labs gave a talk about the memristor at HPtech 2010 back in June. He did mention quite a bit of the information that was in the article linked, except of course the purchase of Hynix. This is very exciting technology, hopefully it comes out in a positive manner that allows the adoption in to many new (and existing) technologies. Our planet could be improved with this technology if handled correctly.

The goal is to retire though, have a steady source of income. It would make sense to have low risk in this scenario.

How about because people are traveling and don't have a means to do Google searches?
