Agreed! - this seems like the simplest tweak to bypass brute-force attacks -- After all why attack a server that isn't listening on port 22 when so many are?
Try a different kind of development? - maybe Game Development?
You man still deal with the same issues - but at least it's more light-hearted and the business rules of the app are still arbitrary but more fun.
Well, it is not a self-signed certificate-- It is signed by cacert.org. What really concerns me is that under linux, Firefox reports that the certificate has been revoked.
Under IE and FF I breeze right on through (after installing the root certifiate). So what is really going on?
The submitter is an *expert* LAMP developer. Each of these technologies (linux apache etc..) is in flux. You will always have to learn something new. SO... If you will never consent to learn ASP/IIS, then quit. However if the company is willing to pay for you to learn a new technology (that will make you more flexible/valuable). Go with the flow!
Well actually, if they really wanted to help protect children they should setup a public internet proxy that allows for logging and filtering and could be reviewed by some kind of child advocacy group. A parent could then elect for all of that child's internet traffic to be routed through the proxy.
Although, a situation like this has serious privacy conserns... but then again what doesn't nowadays?
What I'd like to see is an honest comparision between the nokia n800 (yes I know it's not a phone), and the iPhone.
Sofar I've loved my n800, it does support flash(i.e. youtube), and has 2 sd slots (despite not advertising this fact, I can use 4 gig sd cards in it.)
Also.. it runs linux and has a built in package manager, so you can install apps on the fly (no 'sync-ing').
I usually connect via bluetooth to my sprint phone, and can use the ssh client to tunnel into my home network and use rdesktop or vncviewer.
NOTE: I've just referenced alot of 3rd party software available from various feeds throughout the net.
Which remindes me: the nokia n800 DOES support 3rd party apps.
I would think the best thing to do would be to learn how to make a bogus credit card.
That way you could visit a store out of the way w/ no surveillance and could spend money while signing with some bogus scribble.
So does that mean you found map packs to work, or doe the ones that came with your bluetooth reciever work. I have an n800 and the OpenMaps that came with it only had europe... unless I didn't download the right stuff.

Why Software is Hard

The science of software has failed or been distracted from the genuine objective of identifying and defining abstraction physics. For it is Abstraction that is the essence of programming, and there most certainly is a physics that applies to our creation and use of abstractions. I really don't understand your post, but this sounds alot like a description of the fake language used in Star Trek: LCARS. You also seem to be using the word abstraction way too much.. ---I think you need to talk about abstracting abstractions more abstractly.
Could those three little words prevent the IRS from taxing this particular contest? It's not like the guy actually won $138000 in cash. It's a trip, it is not income. So should Oracle have put "No cash value" somewhere in the rules of the contest and save the winner from having to pay tax? Does that mean that since he opted not to take the trip he could redeem it for the cash value? $138000 - $25000 = still a good prize.
Has to be at least $1.00. Probably costs 'em several dollars to handle the dollar Don't forget about credit card transaction fees, and what about an increase in tech support calls about why their 'new' wireless card isn't working properly. Users that choose not to upgrade, or are capable of doing it without assistance wouldn't cost them anything hence no charge.
Oh, come on.
This is not multiple choice.
Do you really think that because this guy is in jail that a Child molester is free??
How about in more sensational: "...I guess it makes sense to eat babies and keep a dangerous hacker behind bars..." Gimme a break!

I once saw the same issue when a db dump was edited. A user 'bend' was replaced with 'ainsleyj' globally - hilarity ensued.
Would it be foolish to buy one hoping to be able to put android on it?

you actually wrote a letter to your pollycritter
Where did you pick-up this word? I tried to goggle it and got 2 results.
I agree the Ender's game series was the first thing to pop into my head.

Yea, maybe, But I would not buy that device if it doesn't do some kind of checksum on an image before applying an update.
I have an n810, so this was my first though also. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N810
There is also no business reason for free software to exist right? -- oh wait, support! So there you have it
Seriously you think they assemble a hard drive and then discover one of the platters is bad?
Can that even happen?
This doesn't seem right,
please someone who actually knows something about hard drives manufacturing post a comment.

Um... Isn't there a business relationship (formal or informal) between Apple, Google and AT&T?
So it shouldn't scare them it should improve confidence.
