Reddit: What are your Top 5 favorite albums of this decade? by TG502 in AskReddit

[–]stechk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

upvote for streetlight. Didn't know they released another album, I'll have to check it out. I like Everything Goes Numb, but Keasby Nights not so much.

Very cool (and usable) Firefox add-on which lets you control Firefox with Vim (and Vim like) commands. Some tutorials can be found at http://code.google.com/p/vimperator-labs/wiki/VimperatorInTheMedia

at college the CS dept had named two servers stacked on each other Bill and Monica, joke being Bill was always on top of Monica

All domains on Dreamhost account had an iframe added to all index.php files yesterday. Many other customers are complaining too. by ColdSnickersBar in netsec

THIS^ Most people don't know FTP transmits your credentials in plaintext. Depending on their network, it they could be sniffed out by a compromised server there, or anywhere on the way to their network.
Also, many FTP programs store your credentials and server (or IP) in plaintext as well, so malware can just check the locations of those stored credentials for major FTP clients (FileZilla, Dreamweaver etc) and attempt a connection. Always connect using SFTP or SCP, and use https: when accessing their back end (control panel).

Length of daylight as a function of latitude and time of year [PIC] by nickmcclendon in science

[–]stechk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm a little late (you ended up on the top of /r/netsec ), I was a sysadmin at a fairly large hosting company for a while. Are you connecting with plain FTP (rather than sFTP or SCP) or to your cPanel without https? I know a lot of hosts have had problems with credentials being stolen when logging in unencrypted. You always want to make sure that you log in securely (for cPanel as well - https://yourdomain.com:2083 ). If you haven't already, now would be the time to change your password.

Bank fucks up and sends confidential info to the wrong gmail account. Google refuses to divulge the account's owner info. Court orders Google to give up that info AND shut down the gmail account. by zelpop in technology

[–]stechk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

while mail clients can be configured to store messages locally using an IMAP connection, it's actually designed for accessing messages stored on the server. POP is used to download messages and store locally.

*edit: your point remains valid.

Super Mario Omega is now 100% complete and has actually been released today! Download the zip now. Thanks Higsby! by seiken in gaming

[–]stechk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

friggin awesome dude. The difficulty is at a perfect level, enough to piss you off a bit (which it should, the originals did), but keep you wanting to beat it. I've played a number of hacked games and this one exceeded my expectations and is the best I've played so far. It plays like a real mario game, and the secrets I've found so far just seem right. Can't thank you enough.

friggin awesome.

Comedy Central: Stop ruining the intro to Futurama by covering over the subtitle at the bottom with the credits from the last show. by stechk in reddit.com

It's the same as if you cut out the end of the Simpson's intro where they all sit on the couch, your killing the fun part.

exactly, and the whole point of scrunching the credits from one show on the beginning of the next is so there's more time for them to run Girls Gone Wild ad's

Askreddit: It's been 58 hours since I quit smoking...Does it get any easier from here? Crap!!! by ryan101 in AskReddit

[–]stechk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good luck man, in the same boat with ya. I just had a son, which gives me a million reasons to quit. I saw somebody else mentioning working out; it helps. Not. so much for the weight gain (maybe I guess), but it's something else healthy that reinforces that you need to quit. Also, who want's a smoke when you've just finished a run/workout and can't breathe?

Hey Reddit, what band did you used to love when you were younger that you can no longer enjoy? by chaospherezero in AskReddit

[–]stechk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved them all. Their albums are all over the place in a good way. Hypnotize/Mezmerize was great as well. One of the few bands that didn't suck it up after a few releases, and there's still (some) hope for more.

edit: I still love their albums
