Can anyone explain a bit about how this drug works? I understand CF is caused be a genetic "error", but is this an exon skipping drug (similar to what they're working on with muscular dystrophy) or is this something different?

I live is SE Saskatchewan. This winter is hardly a fair example (its been very warm here with the exception of the past week). However, even in an average winter, we would rarely see as cold as -25C as a high for more than a few days in a row. So what this says to me, is even though I thought the opposite, the Volt may actually be a reasonable car here. Even if its not the most efficient choice during the extreme cold, we're talking maybe less than a week on average in any give year that it drops below those temperatures. That means, that >98% of the time, this is the most efficient choice of vehicle in these climates.

I've looked at them a bit, and from what I can tell... its more or less a link that does the same thing a torrent file does. It contains the infohash (unique identifier), file name, size of the file, trackers, etc

syslog the application or syslog the protocol? syslog the application? Yes, its past due, and things like rsyslog are much better.

syslog the protocol is fine.

The problem with this proposed replacement is that it does not fix anything. The only advantage it gives is to be able to tell if the logs were altered. That's it. You're far better off with a secondary/centralized logging system. Store your logs in text, compressed, encrypted, in a database, it doesn't matter. Just get them to a different location and then not only can you tell that the originals were altered, you can tell what was removed. All while using existing tools.

Here's the fear I have with "self-taught" people. How much do you really know?

Making a website work or look good, or both, is not enough. How well is it coded? Do you know best practices, not only for performance, but for security? My employer hired a relatively well respected company to build a web based application that would house medical data. It was my job to put a server in place for them (RHEL) and more or less make sure that their code would run on it.

Well, they used PHP, and since I know PHP quite well, I thought I'd check how they did a few things. I was horrified when I reviewed some code and saw basically:

$sql = "INSERT INTO table_name (col1,col2,col3) VALUES(" . $_POST['blah'].....

Now, formal education does not mean you're going to learn these types of things, but what it does tell me is that you can learn in a formal environment, and if need be, I can put you in training and expect you to absorb the material in a meaningful way.

There is no real problem this solves. You are far better off logging remotely. This does not stop an attacker from hiding his tracks, you'll just know the logs were altered, but you won't know what was removed, or likely if/when you can start trusting them again. Log remotely, use encryption, and use TCP. You're central/remote logger is your trusted source for logs. You close everything except incoming logs. Parse and alert on the logs from there. Its simple to do, its real time, and solves a lot more issues than this type of solution ever will.

Regardless of what I'm doing, I've never seen my machine use more than about 4.5GB of RAM. I have 6GB installed. Why would I install more?

Question is, when will it be available for those of us on Google Apps. I really don't want to have to sign into google with two different accounts all the time.

I was of the same opinion on the $50 startup + $15/month. I had been playing Guild Wars for quite some time, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Most of my regular gaming group was moving over to WoW and I finally gave in and got a trial from a friend of mine. The difference was incredible. Far more developed game play and polished interface. There's a massive community developing addons that further make the game more enjoyable. In the end, I felt that the monthly fee was worth it for a few months. The first few months, I didn't really see the point of a guild, and to be honest, it doesn't provide that many advantages if you're in a relatively casual one like I am. I still do most of my leveling solo. When I do daily heroic dungeons, I generally do it with a public group, not my guild. There are more serious guilds out there, but that's not really my preference.

For anyone that hasn't tried WoW, and is curious, why not give it a shot. If you don't like it, all you've lost is some bandwidth and time. If you do, you've been sucked into a monthly fee like the rest of us... nothing to be ashamed of :)
