Wow. My wife told me Steve Jobs was dead, and my initial thought was that she'd fallen for some e-mail scam. Still can't believe it, or believe it's not all over live TV right now.
I want to say a word about why we felt it was so important to honor Steve Jobs with a special system-wide message on Stack Overflow, a site for programmers, as well as our Apple-specific site, AskDifferent.
Remember, for a moment, the first Macintosh. A brilliant computer, but we programmers looked at it and said… wait! It’s not expandable! It has inadequate memory! You have to change the floppy disk every ten seconds! How on earth can you run Serious Programs on this thing? Even then, Steve didn’t give a hoot about your needs as nerdy computer geeks. He was trying to make a …
I use a portable USB drive (Seagate FreeAgent Go Flex) to keep all my personal stuff, and though the HDD company does offer a password scheme to control access to it, that would work only on windows, as one could easily mount it in Linux and bypass it.
I'm looking for a solution that would encry...
Not sure what is sadder, the more I think about it: That Steve Jobs is no longer with us, or that some of my first thoughts on the subject were "Is this a hoax?" and "I wonder how long it'll take for phishers to find a way to take advantage of this?".
Well, this is a little disheartening. While going through some users to see if they had anything worth upvoting that I missed, I came across one post that basically said, "Don't waste your time or money on the training courses from this company. They're only worthwhile if you can't read." then a few posts later him saying, "This company has some pretty alright courses that do a good job of getting you up to speed quickly."
@RoryAlsop I haven't seen it or its like in years (my last real Mac experience was on an Apple IIe in elementary school). But, I've got enough Mac-head friends that I'm aware of the phenomenon.
In fact, one is taking today off as a "day of mourning" among other excuses.
@Iszi You are right - he certainly was the driver for commoditisation of powerful computing devices. Despite me not being a fan of Apple kit personally, I am in awe of his ability to provide accessible hardware to the common man
@RoryAlsop I'm not sure "accessible hardware to the common man" is how I'd describe it, given that Apple products are usually a good bit more expensive than their comparable competitors. But, I think I see what you're getting at.
@JeffFerland Pashaw. Think of it this way. We're a small college town with an obscene number of bars and where the price of tuition means we primarily get upper-middle class students and a higher percentage of females than males.
@RoryAlsop It's often referred to as a pinwheel or beachball.
As I recall, total out of pocket expenses for my wife's child bearing (i.e. 9 months of visits, tests, and birth) was a couple hundred bucks? I would have to go find the receipts to be sure.
I'm looking for a modern memory product or solution which can hold at least 256 bits but has a destructive readout, the hardware must be reusable without requiring intervention. The only thing I have been able to find is an Arduino Project which uses core memory. No preference regarding its inter...
I'm a CS university undergraduate student, currently in my last year of studies for my BSc (not MSc). Every student needs to submit a thesis in order to get the degree. I have the option to suggest a topic to my professor in the field of NETWORK SECURITY (where my interest currently is for the la...
@RoryAlsop "NAT'ing will allow them to connect to it on whatever IP and port are displayed to the Internet." correct me if I'm wrong, but if I have ssh running on three different machines accepting connections from 0.0.0.0, unless my router explicitly translates its ip:22 -> one of those hosts, none of them should be internet visible I don't believe. NAT translation on home routers is, I think, one way.
Otherwise, of the 3 or so boxes I have running sshd, how would it know which one (in 10.0.0.0/24) to connect them to?
@Ninefingers Home routers can usually do so-called "port-forwarding" in which they are instructed to forward incoming connections on a given port to some internal address and port
This needs manual configuration and, of course, you will need distinct public ports for your three internal SSH servers.
@ThomasPornin indeed; unless you explicitly configure this, you are "protected" from being randomly scanned by the internet, because there are no routes from router to box per se. Just like having a public ip address, you still need to provide a "routing" table.

I'm a *nix sysAdmin for last 5 years. For last one year I've been engaged with PCI-DSS and SAS70 audits at our company and got introduced with Information Security. I have found my interest in InfoSec and reviewing the possibilities on career switch from sysAdmin to InfoSec.
