E... wow. Thanks! I've never even heard (or, at least, noticed)
about displayport before; that's a new connector for me to file away.
And, clearly, the optimal way to fly; I've always felt
Hey, all. I'm scripting stuff to a zillion (ballpark) servers, and ones
that are up, but haven't been fully deployed (i.e., don't yet have ssh
keys) password challenge me. While there *is* an ssh timeout option,
it's my understanding that that's for when a connection fails to
establish, NOT

I think this stance is a little overly cautious; there is data showing

they both work, but I admit I have a little bit of iterm2 (for the Mac)

Mememe! I love the old computer mags. Was woo sad when my dad tossed the old

And Transactors, for that matter. I promise: I have moved somewhere far less

Hey, all. For various esoteric reasons, I'm wondering if someone can
tell me the answer to this question.
If process A is reading from a file, and process B deletes it, process
A can continue to read from it until... well, until it stops reading
from it. Can that space that the file takes up
Yah -- I went to show this to someone teaching a JavaScript course, and
in the course of googling, bumped into an interesting explanation of
*why* the JavaScript acts the way it does:

E.g., are you wanting users to be able to SSH in, type a username

Good evening, all. I must be getting responsible or something, but I'm
getting roped in to the Amherst PTA's Math and Science Night activity.
(Except that this year, it's gonna be in the day.) This year's theme
looks as if it's going to be weather, and a really solid idea for a fun

Hey, all. At my new employer, it basically takes an act of God to get
a Linux box to join the domain. I'd be just plain happy if I could use
an AD server to let users authenticate against LDAP, and then log in.
Any idea how to make that happen? Worst-case, I'm thinking of doing

So, as I'd mentioned, I've been enjoying my little quad-core ARM board.
And when my wife and I decided my six-year-old should have her own

perfect thing -- except that it's an ARM. So I set it up, and was
rather pleased,

Hey, all. I was at a friend's house the other day, and there were some
issues with their WiFi router. Alas, I hadn't brought my computer (I
know, I know...), so I asked to borrow one of theirs, with the thought
of booting up to Linux. (For whatever reason, Windows was having a hard

Not quite sure which approach to take with this. I've got a device on
my network that, for various reasons, I want to route only over an
OpenVPN link. All other devices go out normally. Assuming my Linux box
is doing the routing, and has the VPN link, how do I get it to do that
