I (and slashdot:-P) prefer using Perl as the 'P' in LAMP, thanks. I don't think PHP had much to do with Apache's popularity. Apache's ability to be modular with any backend of choice, embedding via things like mod_perl, mod_php, mod_security, etc are what make it popular.
Guess I should have read the article first. We are defining 'web' as 'TCP/IP?'. In that case, it's a difficult choice as I use a lot of different tools equally. Apache, MySQL, Bind, and Sendmail (with all of their associated extensions/plugins) are definitely at the top of my list. Also IPSec and your firewall of choice. Those two mixed with the rest have paid the bills quite well:)
It's the most useful page I ever use. I can use it to plan bike trips, drives to friends houses or bars, bike races, etc. I also use it for looking up businesses in the area, and for phone number lookups. An example of 'web 2.0' being used as the best method to create the service.
I call bullshit. That is unenforceable. If, for example, I had a band, and we wanted to stream OUR music and our music only...how can RIAA possibly lay claim to any of that? It's not like I'd be 'broadcasting' in the sense of radio on the public airwaves.
I don't charge for the work I've done for my cycling team. BUT, if for some reason I left the team, and they wanted to take it all over, it would certainly have a price. All of that work and, more importantly, the DATA has real value.
It seems Obama's team took this without consent. That's a copyright violation at the very least. Sleazy.
Why do you need 'network hooks' when you can use netcat? Or on linux, just use/dev/tcp/hostname/port. The shell, as with every other task, is just glue.
If you want a little more flexibility (ie, you are writing something that doesn't work well as just gluing a bunch of OS commands together), you then use the proper tool: c, perl, whatever.
While we're slightly off-topic, my vote goes to sylpheed
I use it at home on my linux box, and it runs just fine as a portable app (sylpheed --configdir=foo) from the USB stick when forced to use somebody else's computer on the road (IMAP over SSL along with SMTP Auth and SMTP with Starttls to my home server).
A very nice lightweight mail client, with some good improvements to the UI in the 2.4 version that was recently released.
If you enjoy having more crap built-in (like rendering HTML), check out claws, which is a fork of sylpheed.
well, at least on FAT type filesystems, I've found that ctime is quite difficult to fsck with. I've tried. My car stereo, when reading a usb-connected drive (and apparently every car head unit out there, I've done some research), INSISTS on ordering things by creation time. Not modification time. Not file name. Creation time. So, the only real thing you can do to change the creation time is to re-create the file. Touch no workee, sorry. Neither does rename or move. You have to actually re-create the file.
And yet, our biggest problems (botnets) are not usually from any particular vulnerability, but rather from stupid users running that great attachment they got from 'their friend'. Don't the M$ fanboys claim that Macs are for the clueless? If so, then why aren't Macintoshes part of the botnet problem?
Most of the people I would classify as nerds in my HS were not actually very smart (they thought they were though), spending more of their time playing games, writing fantasy stories, doodling pictures, than paying attention to the task at hand (my own addiction was hacking assembler code, but I did not do it to the exclusion of all else). Many of the smartest folks in the school were active in sports and such. Being well-rounded is important in any part of your life. If you dress like a slob, and don't socialize, and then talk to people like you think you are smarter than they are, well, is it any wonder that nobody likes you but others who act the same way? Being somewhat nerdy myself I did have friends from both camps. I guess the difference was that I tried a little bit of many things rather than shut myself off from the rest of the world.
If you patent something, you must come up with at least a working model of the thing within a reasonable amount of time.
There are many ideas I have had that came to actually become products from some other group. Maybe I should have patented them. But I never had the intention of actually creating the product, since I didn't have the time or funding, or the inclination to get it. So why should I have been awarded the patent anyway?
Forced me to start using a PIN in addition to my login credentials
Forced me to pick a username and start using that instead of my USAA number
today forced me to answer a 'security' question in addition to the above "Who was your first employer".
None of this really adds to the security of my account, and is quite annoying.
If banks *REALLY* want to take security seriously, why don't they issue client-side SSL certs??? If I can get small stores who order products from a manufacturing company to figure this stuff out with a client SSL management portal, then CERTAINLY a BANK can get it right too?
If SSL certs are too 'difficult', then go the RSA fob route. That can get expensive and difficult to manage, though.
I agree. And also with the person above about variables in CSS (sorry, I have no mod points today). That would make life a LOT easier, and I've wanted that on several occasions.
One set of tags that I'm sure would be welcomed by everyone:... . Sure would beat all of the javascript hacks, and could be implemented by non-javascript and text-only browsers like links as well. Text-only browsers could render a table-like list. Others could roll them up. Or browsers could implement as a real menu instead of inside the content, etc.
Computerworld, you get no sympathy from me for being an ad-supported site.
If ads had continued to be a small banner at the top or bottom of the page with NO ANIMATION, or even small ads down the sides that didn't interrupt the flow of the CONTENT (again, no animation), then guess what? I would never have seen a need to use ad blocking software.
The fact is that advertising has gotten very intrusive and counter productive. Hell, I'd likely visit a few advertiser's sites, but now I never see them because of the way they were changed to be as intrusive as possible, hence sent to the bit bucket. WHy do advertisers believe that being as in-your-face as possible would do anything BUT piss people off about the stuff they are trying to sell?
That decent ads (see above... small banners, no animation) get killed too is collateral damage, and it's the advertiser's own fault that people see fit to block the crap. Many even constitute security hazards. Yeah, I'm going to allow THAT to be displayed on my browser (yes, it is MY BROWSER, and it is meant to render things as the USER sees fit...many seem to have forgotten that).
So cry me a river. I'll stick with adblocking software. It's your own damned fault that people block your precious advertisers these days.

What, you mean my car's head unit's non-changeable bluetooth pin of 1234 isn't secure?
gnuplot works for me.
well damn.
I set 'd' to be my delete key in rox-filer.
Um.
You don't have to, if things are properly trimmed.
You should only include the stuff that is relevant in your replies.

Get a good color laser printer, and when you need to print photos, do it online through wal-mart or something.
For some reason connections to both of those pages time out on me...

Looks like they don't allow blocked callerid any more:

Why wouldn't the cop just put his disco lights on for that? Wouldn't that allow running any red lights?
Couldn't see the light because you were behind a semi, who may or may not have also run it. To be safe, what are you to do? Stop? I don't think so.

You can have your RPN. I'll stick with my trusty old casio fx-4500P. Not a bad little machine for its time.
