If it's true, then it's time to migrate the applications to windows servers. First the private/public key fiasko with debian, and then this...

Easynews also has a global search where you can search through all the newsgroup posts with a regular expression (> 150 days).

You might ask them? They are certainly not as secrective as google is ;)

"Volatile seems to have no meaning, so it is hard to tell if ignoring it is a departure from the standard."

Try writing a program reading from a memory mapped hardware device. This won't work without volatile.

When I was studying in Zurich, I also met someone who created a similar program: http://www.rogerkaufmann.ch/dsa.htm

He never tried to make any money out of it though, and never shared the informations with anyone.

Twitter did buy their images from a stock photo site and they didn't buy the exclusive rights to the image. Everybody can buy the start site image and can run his own site with the same image as background!

Please learn to read before you write (kleiner PB Lemming). I didn't say they commited murder. I did just say that it doesn't matter if what they did was under the umbrella of a company or not. It is illegal, as it is illegal to commit murder, to print money if you have not the autorization, or to haress somebody etc...

One must be a fool to believe that they don't get any money at all...

The foreign company certainly belongs to them, and they are trying to cash out twice (once by selling their company and by getting donations from their loyal supporters).

And even if the site belongs to a different party, they are running the site and are responsible doing the copyright violations. You can also not hide behind a company when you are commiting murder.

Now the court can finally raise the fine! :)

Thanks for posting your experience.

What do you mean with you got lazy? Were you too busy (eg meetings) keeping the right sleep schedules? How hard is it to wake up at the right time if you are accustomed to it?

If you would have the possibility to do it again, would you do it again?

Why did you stop?

It sounds so great! I can't wait to take 2 weeks of to try it! :-)

you know what would rock?

A hypervisor for server providers that does these tasks in background (without the root server owner seeing it) and alarms the provider if a hd breaks down, temperature is too high, etc! Which can then automatically react.

I think there is a need for your service, but I think it's too expensive. I wouldn't use it. A server starts at 50€ per month, why spend 1/4 of it just for monitoring?

So did anybody try to do directly the uberman's sleep schedule (6 times 20 minutes sleep)?

A friend tried passing to it through multiple core sleep phases, but failed miserably after one week.

How do you know that your muscles only recover during night and not during day.

You could still lay on the coach and read a book and your muscles would recover as well, or not?

too expensive

That was quiet an easy way for the U.S. to reduce their debts!

"Also, domains we don't cover (see [1]) are prevented from being sent to us at all."

So why sent it back at all?

It's called stone!

Hbase is not reliable in production (it wasn't when I tested it 3 months ago)

We learned OBERON in the first programming course. There were also oberon workstations available for students to browse the web, but nobody was using them, so they got replaced.

Anybody else remember the inter click? :)

Maybe twitter will be used to replace SMS by Apple?

They might have deals with carriers that they are not allowed to sent sms messages through the internet and must use the carrier's network, but what if they are deploying their own sort of sms network?

There was a screenshot a few months ago showing the debug version of twitter which showed that each page request needed about 12 mysql queries... that's proof enough that they didn't have any talented engineering talent. Their business guys and designers were however top. But hey, at the end it worked out all very well :-)

You forgot:

- Facebook has the talented engineers. Twitter might have a few now, but didn't have any in the past.

I can only recommend hetzner. We got > 10 servers there and are very happy. In June, they will have their new datacenter ready with new server offers. If all goes well, I will order another > 30 servers for our data processing.

It's better to modify your site to accept only modified usernames/email adresses (e.g you must always login by adding a - to your username) for the user accounts that are more important (has more rights) then normal accounts. A hacker will have problems bruteforcing these accounts..

I'm a benelux user and I only log in in one country ;)

Why not compare slicehost with a real provider?

Take the servers at hetzner.de, they don't charge much more than a VPS but you et much more power. The only real advantage of a VPS when you grow is when they offer you tools to automatically deploy new instances (like amazon ec2). Otherwise you should be switching to dedicated servers.

I also reregistred because I forgot the password of my old account

The suspend to ram mode worked since windows xp on thinkpads.

In Luxembourg (.lu), the registrar just disconnects your domain name for or a few days before it's free to register again. If your domain doesn't work anymore, you will probably notice and check if you have missed to pay or not.

I also hope for a retrial so they can each get 5 years of prison!
