Yeah, for the most part, I prefer validation that does as little as possible. I previously had a simple check for a single @ symbol. That worked, except someone used a comma which caused the mailer to think there was more than one email address. I should have anticipated that one. Not a biggie, but there was crap in the mail.log where it was trying to use an invalid address... I don't recall the exact issue, but I believe it though it might be a local address or something.
So as a result, I thought I should make the validation a bit more robust to protect the server and at that point, I blocked UTF-8 because it seemed unlikely to work and thus was just a _potential_ vector for attack.
As a webdev who gets irritated at websites that fail badly with their email validation (e.g. not allowing + in the local part, or only allowing 2 or 3 char TLDs), I do try very hard to get this right.
So I've got a solid(ish) email validation function. But, I'm a bit sketchy on what to do with UTF-8.
For the domain, I'd hope that the MTA (Postfix in my case) would allow UTF-8 and convert to punycode as required, but I'm not sure it does. So currently I don't allow for that. I _could_ convert to punycode myself, but I don't.
And as for the local-part, I'm fairly certain Postfix doesn't allow for UTF-8 at present.... at least, not the Postfix version supported on Debian 7.
So I'm just wondering what everyone else is doing? Should I improve my support, or should I just wait for support to be added to my MTA before I bother?
Slightly OT, but this article reminded me of the re-imaged Monkey Island released a year or so ago, so I just had a look on Steam and it's still only available for Windows. Why?!
This kind of treatment is itching for a useful application. Screw photographic/military/whatever - put this on a car... lets say a Lamborgini 'cos some how something very angular seems more appropriate.
I think the best response to this is to switch to a domain that does not include the word "IKEA" and to include articles about hacking other furniture suppliers since clear IKEA are clueless to the benefit this site is to their business.
TFA is kind of long, so I will concede that on this one occasion, I may have merely skimmed it's content. However, as a gesture of good-will, I shall read the *next* TFA in it's entirety, *twice*.
Anyway, from my brief skimmage, I could find no mention of passports or driving licences. Does anyone know what the summary is referring to?
Interestingly, I had thought the rules were simply that.co.uk had rights over.uk and that was it. However, I too have a.me.uk domain but the.co.uk version has not been registered by anyone. So a whois on my-domain.uk says the.me.uk has registration rights.
The only registrar I've found thus-far with the same price for.co.uk and.uk is Mythic Beasts although they're a bit pricey unless you're registering for 10 years.
Okay, so he did do the water-into-wine thing... that was pretty cool. But apart from that, what did Jesus Christ ever do for us?
Fire on the other hand... fire is a totally useful every day thing. No party trick. A proper *thing* that you can properly use. I mean, if JC had actually bothered to tell just one of his disciples how the fuck he that trick, then I might be impressed. As it is... it was just a cheap trick to make himself popular.
That said... it worked, so I'll give him top marks for marketing!
Personally, I find other things far more of a deterrent than greasy hair and kronik BO: she looks too much like my sister... and the laptop's fisheye lens and that deathly pallor from the LED display aren't helping her prospects, either.

The problem I have with the US date format is simply that it's often ambiguous when used on the internet - it being international and all.
The way people "say" dates is fine, so if someone likes "May 10th" or "10th of May", I'm easy - there's no ambiguity. But writing 05/10/2014 on a website is a bit crap because it is ambiguous. Either go with writing the month name or 3-letter abbrev. or go with ISO format 2014-05-10 - you're still allowed to say it in whatever order you like! So when I read an ISO format date, in my head, I'm not saying "twenty-fourteen oh-five ten" - I still read it as 10th of May.
I'm wondering how they got caught anyway. The radar profile on that thing probably wouldn't be hight given that presumably only the tiny engine would be metal plus a few odd bits, and it likely would've flown fairly low.
As far as I've seen, Apple hasn't released any statements to that effect. The stated reason the last two big security patches were not made available to 10.6 Snow Leopard is because the problems they were patching were introduced in 10.7 Lion.
I don't think Apples vague maybe/maybe-not support policies really help much.

The Pi box I have goes strictly for edge mounting,
it probably does that because the very first Model B rev 1 boards didn't have any holes in them.
is Tricky
but worth a clicky
was wondering If i was the only one who saw that. Only a maximum of 999 guesses required to get the security number from the back!
Oh yeah - I forgot about the security code! Damn!
Is it still a scam if I pledge money using the debit card number in their video?

The gandi pricing appears to be $9/year for both co.uk and uk.
Truely no Bullshit(TM) - good for them! :D
Interestingly, I had thought the rules were simply that .co.uk had rights over .uk and that was it. However, I too have a .me.uk domain but the .co.uk version has not been registered by anyone. So a whois on my-domain .uk says the .me.uk has registration rights.
Yeah, looks like a lot of registrars are price gouging - according to Nominet, the wholesale price is the same. And definitely don't ever use 123Reg because they'll even charge you to switch. Fuckers!
.co.uk and .uk is Mythic Beasts although they're a bit pricey unless you're registering for 10 years.
.uk pricing yet unless I'm missing something!
The only registrar I've found thus-far with the same price for

Also, someone should sue USPO to help them "focus" in future.
It's clearly meant to be overly twee. That's what makes it funny. It's also why it's so short.
I quite liked it!

The other graphs on Netcraft pretty much answer this:
Web server developers: Market share of active sites = looks like MS is on a slight downward trend.
Web server developers: Market share of the top million busiest sites = looks like MS is on a slight downward trend.
And in both of those graphs, Apache is far and away holding the biggest share, *and* Nginx is ahead of MS. But let's face it, we all knew that anyway.
Doesn't need any shutdown scripts though so that'll save space!
Should be off by default.

Having quickly skimmed over TFA, I strongly suspect that the "cement-like fluids on Mars" were what caused the fall of the Martian Empire.
The actual story is still pretty cool, however.
I love the photos, but I'd also like an article about the machines they restored/re-built/hacked to recover this stuff.
