    TrueCrypt Officially Dead... Now Going to Be Reborn as CipherShed

    "The first version of CipherShed is in development. The current process consists of “rebranding” the TrueCrypt 7.1a code." Yes, new logo must be the priority...

    iPhone 6* & Apple Watch Discussion!

    This kind of confirms my suspicions about the iPhone 6: The race to thinness is kind of silly, because a number of people have said "I wouldn't mind it being thicker because the battery life could be better and I wouldn't be as likely to drop it".  Every iPhone I've had I've immediately put a...

    BTW, why do you say that?  I don't think PHP-driven is bad so I'm curious what your experience has been with it.

    Do you tell a customer your server specs if he asks?

    Customer: "OK, you've got super-fast E5s and 96GB of RAM and SSD drives - awesome.  Here's my paypal!" Vendor: "Heh, wait until he finds out we're single-homed on Cogent..."

    There's also TiddlyWiki - your wiki in a single .html page, everything is done in JavaScript  :D

    MediaWiki atm, though I also have a DokuWiki  :lol:  And I was going to try FosWiki but its installer (or lack thereof sucked).  Twiki and TikiWiki are other options...it's not lack of tools, man... And Evernote.  Evernote's strength is click-to-save-web-page.  The lack of significant...

    Collaboration Script/System/Solutions

    Well forget foswiki...the installation guide (part1!) was so ridiculous that I stopped reading halfway through.  I guess those guys have never heard of an installer. http://foswiki.org/System/InstallationGuidePart1

    Exim4 as an MTA on Debian 7

    I think the only reason anyone uses exim is that cPanel insists on it  :D

    Collaboration Script/System/Solutions

    Aw... It's a web interface to a file system, really, with some other stuff thrown in.  There's a ton you can do with it, but of course then you need a Sharepoint admin.  Some things we do with it: It's the major collaboration tool we use, so we have thousands of sites (I work for a company...

    Collaboration Script/System/Solutions

    This field is so vast - everything from Asana to Zoho.  If it's document-oriented, lots of people use Sharepoint (and there are cloud-hosted options), Google Docs, Evernote, etc. Funny, I was just looking at FosWiki the other day.  Looks very interesting - more robust than MediaWiki (or at...

    SUSE Linux Sold in Deal Involving Novell, NetIQ and other brands

    I primarily know MicroFocus because they make COBOL compilers for Windows.  Ha. I primarily know Attachmate because they make X-windows clients for Windows. I primarily know SuSE as that pain-in-the-ass-because-it's-different Linux distro some damn industry vertical vendor at work required it...

    That book is an excellent compendium of other's ideas :-)  However, I mean every word of that sentence - there's not much new, but it does go over the ideas well and presents them in an economical format, so if you've never read a book in that realm, it's as good as any others.  I listened to it...

    Regarding VPSBoard

    When I want to do something in IP admin, I use the live search in the ACP - it's the only way to find things.

    iPhone 6* & Apple Watch Discussion!

    Honestly, the watch kind of tempts me.  Not the Apple watch specifically but the idea...but I can find no logical reason for it other than the geekitude of yet another gadget. If I had one, I'd want to be able to talk to it directly without the phone tether, and also have it do fitness...

    iPhone 6* & Apple Watch Discussion!

    App ecosystem, integration with other Apple products and services, having a lot of iTunes content, etc. Just buying a phone all by itself if you've never used any Apple services and own no other Apple gear - no, not based on specs/features.  But for some people who've invested in the Apple...

    Thanks. From the files listed, it appears these are gmail.com only - not custom domain emails.

    BIOS And pyhsical security

    It kind of depends on what you want regarding USB.  In some environments, the motivation is less about antivirus and more about stopping an avenue of data theft. Not saying that disabling USB is going to completely accomplish that but it's more about stopping the average user rather than the...
