You know you're a Linux gangster when you use a terabyte of swap.

Well, I don't actually use a terabyte, but I have been thinking on how to add a terabyte of swap to my desktop without making it slow.

I was alarmed at the sound of screaming children, but then I realized it was Halloween--and they were shrieking with candy-related joy.
I was also wondering why the cars were driving so slowly tonight, before remembering it was Halloween.

Switching to Slicehost was a very good idea, though my plan--which gives me 10 gigabyates--is a bit small.
Where did you switch from?
- Akiva Moskovitz
Before, I had Bluehost shared hosting--given that I only needed a cheap place to store HTML and PHP files at the time I registered for it. Two years later, I need full control over the operating system--so VPS is the cheapest option.

Things that annoy the user--especially me--when registering for an online account:

[Peanut Gallery] Being told that "password" is not a good password
- i80and
the endless loop of creating a password, when they should just dish one out if it's got all these rules.
- anna sauce
I detest the confirm account email that does nothing. Or once you confirm via email, the 2 - 5 "welcome" emails they send you.
- Anika
Phew! I passed the test per all the above annoyances with the login system I wrote for my bebepool website - Whatever size string gets SHA'd (let's just say above 128) and no confirmation email at all.
- Micah Wittman
Only requirement is username 3 characters or more, and password 6 characters or more. When registering, instead of having the user type their password twice, it's typed only once in the create-a-new-account form and then it's confirmed by doing an actual regular login sequence to seal the deal and get in for the very first time.
- Micah Wittman
Very interesting design, Micah. Especially regarding the part where the user does an actual login sequence to test the password.

I think most people that believe the world will end in <insert date here> have actually lived through a previous failed prediction of the apocalypse.
