    Retailer Forever 21 Keeps the Youth Spirit with Piracy

    A significant portion of my present professional life is managing/auditing software licensing for a large company. It gets fiendishly complicated when you realize how many different licensing schemes (per seat, per concurrent user, per socket, per core, etc.) there are, multiplied by mapping...

    Webhostingtalk / Inet Interactive SOLD!

    Did you get that for being a FreeWHT admin/mod/whatever? That place is such a sad ghost town now.

    GreenValueHost is moving again.

    Way back then, GVH had a "commitment to excellence in hardware and network quality." Now "Customers in Amsterdam formerly were hosted on Xeon E3-1240v3 and Dual E5-2620v3 nodes with inferior specifications (Enterprise SATA drives, less RAM, software raid, inferior hardware RAID cards)". I'm...

    ARIN Stock Changes Feb 2014 - Down to 1.38

    Is that the big consumer?  I obviously don't know. I assume the major IP address consumers are residential, mobile, and big cloud providers.

    ARIN Stock Changes Feb 2014 - Down to 1.38

    The reason I mention this is not really about ipv4 exhaustion...it's because Microsoft, Cisco, etc. have a powerful side motivation to support this. Imagine the industry really did say "on day X, class E is open for business and your TCP/IP stacks must support it". Microsoft: "Sorry about...

    ARIN Stock Changes Feb 2014 - Down to 1.38

    Seems to me that a certain LEB board frequenter (kind of an obnoxious guy, has a Sherlock Holmes avatar) has been suggesting for years that ipv4 exhaustion is overstated, because as prices for IPs rise, large organizations that own ridiculous blocks will find the financial incentives to release...

    VPS Request for a P2H Site?

    Can we start an official dead pool?  I call dead by August 2015, but I'm an optimist. To go back to my original point...these businesses just don't work because the ad revenue isn't there.  It's not even close to being there.   And btw, cloning freevps.us is not exactly the cleverest business...

    On the other hand, one definition of "diet" is "what you eat".   e.g., "the natives of the island existed on a diet of fish, fruit, and wild pineapple". So it's just semantics.

    London Teen Charged in Connection with Massive Spamhaus DDoS Attacks

    The idea that DDOS is a digital analog to a "sit in" is rather sketchy at best.  Regardless, sit ins and street protests are obsolete. 100 years ago, placards in the street was the only way to get your voice heard. Today If you have a gripe or don't like something, you can speak on a platform...

    Python - safest way to handle user input

    The right way to do it is to define what you allow, rather than to define what you don't.  Anything that doesn't match what's allowed is rejected. For example, only letters/numbers/internal hyphen, a single period with a minimum number of letters before/after Length of chars before and after...
