Spain's problem is of a different sort. Trying to base a whole economy on construction was a bad idea and the fact that they are still building like mad even though there are more houses than people in the country is just going to make the pain worse. House prices in Spain should be a third of what they are given the average Spanish wage but the huge amount of extra capacity risks dropping the prices even lower.
Speaking as someone who has actually spent a considerable amount of time watching the European crisis unfold, that economist is full of it. Europes problem is that many countries were deficit spending during the good times and are now borrowing even more to cover the bad times and investors (the people who buy debt) are getting scared. The crisis started when the cost of borrowing went up for Greece to the point where they could not afford to borrow money to continue keeping their government functional. What we have right now is Germany borrowing money on behalf of Greece while Greece, Spain and Italy rush to cut their budgets before Germany loses the ability to help them.
Austerity sucks but hitting the end of their ability to borrow money would cause immediate budget cuts of multiple times worse than the current cuts.
Where have you been for the last decade? Was it not Dick Cheney, a conservative, who said people dont care about deficits? Really the only difference between liberal and conservatives on this issue is what the money gets spent on. Through this whole negotiation we have had the republicans argue that savings from exiting the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq should be kept within the military rather than being used to cut the deficit and the republicans have been, over the years, very guilty of forcing the US military to buy equipment that it neither wants or needs.
Anyone who thinks only one side is to blame on this issue has their had stuffed up the wrong orifice.
It is not a matter of password protecting ssh keys, it is a matter of deleting obsolete keys from ~/.ssh/authorized_keys when they aren't used anymore. When someone quits or gets fired someone should be going through everything they have access to and removing the keys. They are remarkably easy to forget where they were put as well.
After running my head into this problem one too many times I ended up creating a management system that rebuilds every copy of authorized_keys on each server.
Strangely enough some of my searches that didn't used to are now showing up the odd bit of gay porn. Either someone only considers only the female nude form offensive or the new filter needs tweaking.
The idea is that you use Google webmaster tools to remove whatever content that is up now and then make either the http meta tag changes or the change to robots.txt depending on what you want. robots.txt directives that list "Googlebot-News" only effect the news but directives for "Googlebot" affect both search and news.
Google shows a brief snippet (a few lines) at most of the content and then provides a link to the actual content itself.
As for Google refusing to remove sites: You are misinformed. I had Google delete one of my employer sites just a few weeks ago and the process took just under a day. The only time Google ever refuses to remove a site is when it does not belong to you or you dont want to take the proper steps and just email/call them with a demand for removal. The reality is that there are several ways to remove your content from Google. You can display an error on page access, There is Google Webmaster Tools that allow you to delete a url of your choice from a website you control until the next scan, there is the usual robots.txt and http meta tags. Google even provides instructions explaining in detail how to restrict what gets indexed or even remove your site from Google News or from all Google searches.
The whole point is that they annoy me at their own expense if they are ad supported. If a site annoys me, I leave and avoid coming back. If, on the other hand, they let me read the story I wanted complete with ads I might spot some other story that interests me so I can read more pages and view more of their ads and I've been known to lose hours that way.
Google doesn't serve anything, they simply forward the readers to the story on the newspaper site and in the case of sites with paywalls the only reason they can do that is because those newspapers deliberately provide a hole in their paywall for Google.
Quite honestly, I wish if they were going to go paywall, than they would just delist themselves from Google news completely.
Then they can put ads around the actual story and make their money that way. Forcing the link to the home page doesn't fix anything. Asking Google to pay is ridiculous. You pay for traffic you don't get paid to get traffic and the fact that Google is sending people there for free is a bonus.
Terrible idea.. If I click a link on say, Google news, I want to read the actual story not have to go find it again. I just don't have the patience to do that so I end up just reading about it on some other news site instead. Smart online papers put ads for other interesting news around the story.
Thanks that would have been helpful at the time and the backup scripts now use that option.
The point is not that MySQL cannot function as as an enterprise DB. The point is that it requires so much effort to do so. I should not have to hand edit a MySQL dump to get logins working again and even with this option I still would have needed to remove the portions that drop and recreate the table.
Only because alcoholism is more wide spread. I'm not a fan of banning drugs (mainly because it's not working) but I can tell you first hand that heroin addicts suffer a lot more than alcoholics do. As someone who has actually worked with a charity that deals with street people I can tell you that heroin addicts often need medical attention to cope with the withdrawal symptoms and tend to have much shorter lifespans than even the worst alcoholics.
To be fair, those views tend to be reinforced by the suffering that hard drug use causes and images of skid row and the fear that more people would use them if they were legalized. Wrong? maybe. Evil? definitely not. You can't call the desire to prevent suffering evil even if it's misguided.
The idea is not to compromise on principals, the idea is to chose each on each issue based on it's merit rather than what side you think you are on.
Countries too far to the right are heartless and favor the employer and if you lose your job or end up injured, you starve. Countries too far to the left favor the worker but end up with high taxes, a social system that encourages laziness and and laws that discriminate against employers (Spain for instance is a pain to do business in)
Both are stupid.
Countries that have a good left / right balance take concepts from both sides (yes they exist, Canada for example) try and take issues that matter to both sides. Fiscal responsibility (right wing), universal health and a social safety net (left wing), ease of starting a business (right wing), environmental laws (left wing). Each side wins some battles and loses some others.
The ideal would be to have a debate that leads to lead to a consensus rather than just a screaming match filled with name calling and unfounded accusations.
So true. I'm very complicated with my views. I'm a fiscal centrist, personal conservative but a social libertarian.
Translated: I think the government should balance its budget but still have enough revenue to cover things like health care and social assistance for people who fall on hard times but nudge people out of the social assistance nest (don't pay people to be high school dropouts for the rest of their lives). For my personal life I'm conservative but I don't see where that gets me the right to tell anyone else how to live theirs so drink, smoke, snort, inject whatever you want and marry who you want(as long as your honest about it) but don't expect me to join you and I'm fine with it.
The upshot is that I know a few people who agree with me but the vast majority of people on both sides get pissed off at me a lot although it has led to some amusing incidents involving people being shocked that I'm not going to preach at them about their lifestyles.
Indeed, I spent 8 hours a day either repairing systems, coding in C (sometimes PHP) or explaining to PHP programers concepts of programming so it's bound to affect my use of the English language.
During the recent campaigns, both sides more or less said that if the other side won, it would spell doom for the United States.
I DO happen to think there are some evil bastards on both sides.
Which is absolutely hilarious when you consider that the two candidates really only differed in skin colour. Both candidates were pro choice(even if one pretended he wasn't for the duration of the campaign) and act often referred to as "Obamacare" was similar to something Romney did previously.
How well mysqldump works depends on the data. It seems to have a problem with escaping some strings correctly. Right now we use both MySQL and PostgreSQL with the dream of moving everything to PostgreSQL.
The people who aggravate me the most are the ones who assume that being on "the wrong side" is evil, stupid or backward. Not just one side either and they are easy to spot by the way they spout off about "right wingers" , "repugnicans", "CONservatives" or the opposite site: "liberals", "LIEberals", "communists" etc. In general an extreme view from the wingnuts on both sides that fail to understand that it's possible for two people to both be honest people who love their country while having differing views on how that's done.
Each side has valid points and restricting one's life exclusively to one side without considering the alternative is a recipe for disaster.
If only they were actually edge cases(look carefully they mentioned one was a common Ruby on Rails mistake). MySQL's habit of pretending everything is alright when it's not has burned more than one of my previous employers.
But they missed the real WTFs like mysqldump creating dumps that need to be hand edited before MySQL will restore them or my all time favorite: mysql user authentication simply does a "SELECT * from mysql.users" and if the fields get reordered by a new MySQL release then logins will simply fail. The best part is that the officially documented way to fix that is a mysqldump followed by a restore which... deletes the table and puts the fields in the wrong order again. The last major MySQL upgrade of my employer's systems involved me starting the new install from an empty DB, restoring everything except the mysql.users table and recreating the accounts using a script.
Please don't pretend it's not a crap database. Those of us who have to deal with it every day know better.
Try loading the disk first. I find that FF does very poorly if there is too much disk activity to the point where even the menus lag. On an unloaded system it fantastic but it is the single worst preforming app on my system while the disk is busy. For myself, I mostly fixed the problem by going SSD.

For that price you can go Korean with a 1.7 ghz Quad core from Hardkernel.
