I picked up a WD My Book (http://www.wdmybook.com/en/) and it works great with Linux (Ubuntu). It will power back up from "sleep" mode whenever I access it.
The only problem, which is not drive-specific, is that there is a bit of a race condition when mounting it. It is currently mounted under my wife's account since she logged into the machine first:-)
Agreed - at the very least, AJAX helps minimize the number of page refreshes required on a particular form. I find that as I add more AJAX code to our web application, I'm thinking more about client-side (browser-side) and how I could give the user a better experience. We don't have any flash, video, or other graphics done with AJAX.
It's all about exploiting the browser a little more, handing some of the workload over to the client.
AJAX also provides the ability for offline-mode applications (see Google Gears).
Contrary to my T21, which is work-issued. I've had it for three years with *no* problems except the battery life is down to about 10 minutes.
Keep in mind that it turned on all day and often all night - I leave it plugged in at my home office. Plus alot of CPU-intensive tasks like compiling code.
I wish the damn thing would die already so I can get an upgrade! It's a P-III 800MHz.
Well, then you are not the type of admin that the article was talking about. The author was writing about admins who provide NO benefit, other than superficial ones like naming standards and acting as an interface to a database.
I just came off a gig where this was the case. The DBA would only be allowed to execute queries against an acceptance-testing database (and prod, but that's OK). But we come up with the SQL to run and he just ran it - nothing else! We could give him anything and he would run it. Even queries that joined 20 tables... wouldn't even take a close look at the SQL.
How is this better from a developer's standpoint? Waiting for a DBA to get around to use the same tool that you use to run queries against development environments, only with user/password to run against higher environments.
1. I installed it on/dev/hdd3 as / (a single partition for / and/boot) and used a 512 MB/swap on/dev/hdd2. I told the boot manager to get installed on/dev/hdd3 as I don't want my existing bootmanager to get nuked. Upon rebooting to go to the second part of the JDS installation, Grub will load itself and then it will give me the grub command line and it would NOT load JDS to continue with the second part of the installation. I had to reboot, go to my Mandrake 9.1 installation, mount the ReiserFS JDS hdd3 partition, create a custom LILO file and then chroot to hdd3 and use LILO as my boot manager instead of grub....
This sounds like something that could be spoofed pretty easily...
Router: You running AV software?
Spoofed Daemon: Sure!
Not a good approach. I could understand something along the lines of the router checking for virus patterns (ie. 5000 packets from one machine on port n in a second), but checking to see if a machine is running certain software??
What if I'm running a firewall on my PC that doesn't allow the router to query for the software??

I pay $70/month in Canada for 6GB, including a pretty good voice plan.
For instance I'd love a restaurant locator app that works outside of San Francisco, Chicago and New York.
Urban Spoon has restaurants for most cities.
They even advertised it on a TV commercial a little while ago...

WTF - this article might as well have been written last summer. DWR version 2.0 is now out and has been in beta for a while.
./ post are incorrect.
The 'R' in DWR does not stand for for Reporting, but rather "Remoting". Both TFA and the
Too late for RIM, unfortuneately...
Lotus Notes does this too... Kinda' annoying when you're trying to reply to work email from GMail. *sigh*
How fitting. It seems that our passport office is lax with security. How will this affect the US policy?
Full article: Auditor says Canada's security systems still too weak
Have a look at www.pdaportal.com for a great list of mobile-friendly web sites.
You can even customize it.
"iPhone" is too lame for Apple anyhow... I could see something like "iCall" or "iNoService".
... which is why Thunderbird blocks images by default.

Convergys is not a local Ottawa company - they have a huge call centre here in Winnipeg too.
The /. community should be rallying behind this. IBM tends to deliver and it's becoming more apparent than they see an IT world without Microsoft.
Revenge can be sweet (OS/2).
maybe they wanted to buy Google for their pop-up blocking technology, found in the Google Toolebar for IE.
but now they have to figure it out for themselves!
The password is likely stored using a (weak) hash function.
Only TEN times less?!?!? It's a freakin server vs. a mainframe, regardless of the operating system.
This is a good example of developing high quality software versus a piece of crap with lots of "features".
MySQL doesn't have some features such as stored procs or views, but what is implemented is pretty solid, which is important for a database.

They better address this widespread concern!
5) Do something with the wife
6) Do something with the dog
The wife ranked 5th!? At least she was above the dog.

Wouldn't it be possible to use the "ImageDrive" in Nero as your burning destination.. these use something like DaemonTools to mount and rip from it?
Just a theory..
Uses WMV and looks like crap using Mozilla. Written in ASP.
