I will wait a few more weeks before I do this myself. My job requires me to frequently access user HTTP sites that use self signed certs. The additional four clicks are extremely annoying. Yes, I get the point of the warning and it does have its usefulness. One click, or even two would do just fine.
At the very least power users should be able to turn off this security feature in about:config.
All that being said, we need an actually affordable way to purchase REAL certs.
5.) Second Chance First aired: 10/16/1989 In China,Macgyver and his old friend Jesse Colton help with a Phoenix Foundation funded hospital for sick children. While there,they discover a gang stealing supplies (including a dialysis machine vital to the survival of a girl name Susie) from the hospital,and something even more surprising: a Amerasian boy who is the son of Jesse Colton. A son he never knew he had. When he and Mac find out the boy helped the gangsters steal the supplies,they must get them back,before Susie dies....
I was trained in CS (at a very reputable university) and had some trouble finding a job right out of graduation because I didn't have much "real world" programming experience. However there was one company that I really wanted to work for. They were small, right down the road, and there stuff was all Linux based. They unfortunately were not looking for developers at the time. So I took an entry level support tech position and less then a year later the head of R&D found me and brought me over to his team. I've been there ever since and could not be happier. It was the EXACT position I was looking for when I got out of college, but I had to get my foot in the door first.
I recommend this plan of action under the following conditions:
* The company is small(ish) and growing quickly
* You are confident of your skills and think you really could provide more value for the company in another position once you have your foot in the door
Opensocial is not just some gimmick. It is good and useful technology. No more logging into some annoying website so I can communicate with my friends. No more damn silos scattered everywhere under control of some fly-by-night company that might get scooped up by you-know-who anyday. Thanks Google.
Google makes stuff that geeks appreciate, apps that are simple and easy to use that make us remember that computers are not supposed to get in our way. They don't keep our data locked up if we don't want them to. Let me explain...
Let's start with their first product: search. Do you even remember how much that kicked ass back in the day? I started using Google almost immediately after hearing about in on slashdot because I really got the best search results and it was so beautifully simple. Some us may have thought, "Wait, no annoying ads or styling or anything? Just this simple page? Yeah, try selling that to somebody". But look now, all these years later they are the darling of the tech industry, all because of that drop-dead results page powered by a massive network of Linux boxes.
Then came along gmail. I had an early invite and started using it about 3 or 4 years ago (if my memory serves me). I admit it took a long time to ween myself off the traditional email app (Thunderbird) but I will never look back. I can still remember the days of manually filing emails in folders and I laugh at the time I wasted. I chuckle when my coworkers (who do not use gmail) struggle to find an email containing some piece of information from long ago. It is a new way to do email that is hands down better than the previous way. And it seems young people love it too. All my friends use it, not just the geeks.
As if that wasn't good enough, they gave us iGoogle. At first I thought, "Yeah this is lame like every other "portal" site. But now I have three tabs full of RSS feeds from news sites, deal sites, and programming blogs. I cut my daily browsing time in half (probably more than half) and have saved hundreds of dollars. I actually don't use my computer when I get home because I don't feel like I have to search around for something I may have missed.
All this stuff is based on open standards and open technology. But really, I just love to use their apps. They are the closest thing to a command line for the web. Could all their financial success AND geek love actually have something to do with their philosophy of openness and the famous "don't be evil(tm)" slogan?
Regular expressions are easier than you think and once you get comfortable with them you will be wishing you hadn't done so sooner. In my opinion the difficult part of learning them is just getting used the strange mess of dots, pluses, brackets, backslashes, etc. and what they mean in different contexts. Unfortunately it is hard to walk away from an article or howto on regexes and actually remember the meaning of all the symbols. Regular expressions are deliberately terse and that makes them hard to read and understand by humans.
Therefore I think the best way to learn regular expressions is by example. I highly recommend this small interactive program which will walk you through building regular expressions for a few different languagues. When you think you need a regex for a program, just fire it up and answer the questions.
After a while you won't need txt2regex for simple stuff because you will have hopefully just absorbed the syntax. Once you have mastered the basic regexes which txt2regex can generate you will be able to dive into more advanced topics like capturing groups.
You mention that you have painted a case before. I was just wondering, what kind of painting equipment and supplies would one need to give a case and other computer hardware a decent looking finish that won't flake or peel off?
Everybody is saying that x mp3 encoder has better quality than y mp3 encoder. However, I was wondering as my ears are not that good, how in fact these conclusions are made. What mathematical/scientific process determines that the quality of one mp3 encoder is better than another if they encode the same file at the same bitrate? It seems as though no one is giving this person a direct answer with at least some research or links to research. Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling anyone a liar. I just wanna see a little proof that one encoder produces higher quality files than another.
