FreeBSD Jails
Okay, so jails aren't exactly total process isolation, its actually running multiplexed privileges. But apps in the jail are still isolated from the rest of the system, and that's where jails provide security ( Read more... ) -
FreeBSD Jails
So, I looked at what FreeBSD Jails are and what they can do. I must say, I was quite amazed. It turns out FreeBSD Jails offer the same environment isolation, process isolation, and resource management as virtualization, but without the overhead of virtualization. Jails are so isolated, in fact, that you have to install FreeBSD in the location ( Read more... ) -
Art Institute Online
I spoke to the FBI about the Art Institute Online. They seem to be very interested in this case. -
Art Institute Online = SCAM
I am now thoroughly convinced the Art Institute is a scam. First, I applied and got enrolled without too much hassle. Then they kicked me out in February. When I called to find out why, all I got was "you aren't enrolled." Yea, they wouldn't actually tell me why. Six weeks later (about two months ago) I got a call from my admissions officer ( Read more... ) -
vCore In One Week
In one week, I plan to release vCore in a private beta. That means I have to work on it all day every day for one week. Many components have to be tweaked, but thankfully, they're all there. What's coming first? Forums and the wiki ( Read more... ) -
Advertising

This means many consumers are going to waste money because of what virtually every single ad within an industry says - they all say the same damn thing. Plus, I've recently seen a car ad for Volvo, and it looks like they're setting themselves up for a huge class-action lawsuit ( Read more... ) -
Spiffy Things
I just posted about the new VOCASystem.Net profiles that are coming soon to Varus Online. We will have comments, interests (new style), and profile customization. It also covers something I've not made public before now: VOCASystem CrossLink, the developer API that allows third-parties to read account/profile data and even post new information to ( Read more... ) -
Blizzard
Blizzard does their best to kill players by making it look like the game glitched. A few hours ago, I was on my Death Knight, in Zangarmarsh, doing the quest "A Question of Gluttony". Normally, this isn't an issue, but when there's so damned many .... yes, then its an issue ( Read more... ) -
Art Institutes
Today is the start of classes. Oh, but not for me. No. Why? Apparently, they still have not received a copy of my high school transcript. Why haven't they been able to get my high school transcript? Why has it been five months and they can't get my high school transcript ( Read more... )
