    Vultr and false claims.

    FTC's summary of the FTC Act: Advertising must be truthful and non-deceptive; Advertisers must have evidence to back up their claims; and Advertisements cannot be unfair. The first and third claims don't really apply: it's unlikely that a "reasonable customer" will be deceived by the claim...

    [Tutorial] SSD Cache with Flashcache

    Ah, that makes more sense, the snippet sounds like it just means it'll discard anything that doesn't need to be written back from the cache (i.e., discard everything but dirty blocks). In other words, you lose your read cache, so it's going to need some time to warm-up, but anything that hasn't...

    [Tutorial] SSD Cache with Flashcache

    Hm, flashcache doesn't support reloading SSD cache after reboot? If so, that seems a bit strange, since there's no advantage compared to caching in memory then (i.e. ignoring fsync).

    PayPal Micro Transactions

    Uh, the link you quoted clearly states: "If you sign up for micropayments, you will be charged the micropayments rate on all transactions regardless of payment size." Edit: at least it says that for me, maybe it says something if you visit it from AU?

    Anyone know how to actually purchase a miner? I see the mining calculator popup but no way to close that and proceed with the purchase, so stuck with the $10000 cash :/

    Custom Billing Software for sale

    I don't think blue-gray background is so rare, and the rest isn't a surprise considering they're both billing panels.

    Custom Billing Software for sale

    Presumably NDA is to prevent the auditers from disclosing any vulnerabilities found in the billing software or releasing code, and not to prevent Kwicero from saying who audited it?

    Internet providers don't think you need fast internet. Cable industry opposes 25Mbps broadband defin

    Well ISP's aren't defining it, they lobby in the same way that content providers like Netflix are doing in the other direction; I mean, I don't think the regulatory agencies should just define it without consulting anyone first. From the small segment that I read, NCTA has a point, given legal...

    Python - safest way to handle user input

    A period? That doesn't sound good since someone can try to make a directory "." or "..", although it probably won't be an issue. Anyway you should be fine just with os.path.basename to make sure it's a single name, and os.path.exists to make sure dirctory doesn't exist yet.
