I see what Obama's saying. In my experience, research on bypass methods may become the source of a new terrorist attack. Then a terrorist attack would be our making.

I should start a lumber company so the actual # trees become the estimated # trees. Studies citing the previous estimate will also be correct.

Learning some 2% of water is fresh and the need to conserve water or it will run out by 2050 was a lie. There will always be fresh water and oil. The price will not soar when supply is limited, there usually happens to be a new discovery. Eg. The US is a huge unexploited oil field

The scala collections (even the mutable ones) generate tons of garbage (e.g. getting a value out of a map automatically creates another new object). Scala hashmaps (even the mutable ones) are much slower than equivalent java collections.
A recent comparison was made with scala and java collections. Lots of interesting tidbits. http://www.takipioncode.com/2014/01/23/java-scala-guava-and-...
So I switched to Digital Ocean after the last Linode security fiasco and I can't say I regret it.
Should you decide to switch to another VPS provider I strongly recommend you cite the security problems when they ask you why you're closing your account. The only reliable way to get the security message across to technical managers and business people alike is to make it about money. That said the fact that this has happened, in this way, again to Linode is a very bad sign.
Having been in meetings, advocated for taking security seriously, and heard the rationalizations for a lax approach I can only say that as a customer if your desire for security isn't made crystal clear you have no hope of getting it. It has to be a deal breaker or not only will companies like Linode not learn, but their competitors who stand to gain from their loss won't either.

Thanks for the followup about how long dd takes. I was wondering as well.
May I ask, which droplet type were you running dd on? Micro?
no problem. The command "dd if=/dev/vda bs=1M | strings -n 100 > out.txt" in find.sh, which is the same as the one first mentioned today morning https://github.com/fog/fog/issues/2525. $20/month droplet
how long does dd take? Could use an estimate. Ran dd for around 10 minutes this morning and got 500,000 lines, and it was still running.
update: finished in around 12 minutes. out.txt is around 10gb.
update: out.txt is around 54 million lines from wc -l out.txt. I'm using less with command [line number]G to poke around. I have an NYC1 droplet, and there's a lot of junk not mine.. text in other languages and python which i don't use

Q: When to deploy https?
A: Always.
Account activity should also be a must for your users. Session id will not be as useful when users can monitor their accounts. It's a work in progress, but I'm writing a page on good application login design https://tagsauce.com/docs/designsnippets
