Try using Photagious. I believe it's a higher quality product than Flickr. It doesn't have as much of a focus on social networking but for anyone who is serious about their photographs it's a great service.
I agree completely. For the most part...even if you don't have the source it only takes a decent programmer to "reverse engineer" the application into code. Zend's encoder serves a purpose...but one of them isn't "make your code impossible for anyone to decode".
PHP 4.4.1 is out...actually...PHP 5.1 is out. A site running perl 3 doesn't constitute saying that perl is insecure.
I'm not stating that PHP is ultra-secure. But it's in the hands of the developer. If you can keep your server up to date and you have good developers then you don't have much to worry about.
I've noticed that all of the online camera stores with a "call us to place your order" graphic and their 1-800 phone number big and bold on the site... usually follow these same practices.
I've had similar experiences with several online retailers that are exactly like this.
The difference between switching email providers and IM providers is that email is universal. If i sign up today for a GMail account I can use it to communicate with anyone who has an email address. However, with IM that's not the case.
I think it would be awesome if they released an IM program that connected to a propietary Google protocol but also allowed me to connect to AIM. Then I wouldn't have to use trillian anymore (even though I love trillian).
I agree. I personally don't mind finding information for what I need to do. But there are alot of others who would rather not. Linux isn't for everyone. So basically all this guy was saying is that Linux works well for him. His statement that those people that Linux isn't "for" aren't looking hard enough is very short sighted.
php can be cached into bytecode. very similar to jsp pages on a first run basis. there are a few op code caches available for php including one from zend (which costs money) and a few free ones such as mmcache (which we use at FotoFlix and it's great).
wait a second! regards in the USA aren't universal? we've been lied to all these years!!
just kidding...i agree with parent. communism in theory is great...people are too lazy and selfish to actually let it be implemented properly.
Even $20Mil seems pretty good. They had less than 500K users. Not that yahoo needs more users. Yahoo's market cap is 43Billion...holy crap. That makes me sick.
Google should definitely be looking into FotoFlix. Similar service to Flickr but enough uniqueness to add value to Google's line of products (orkut & blogger).

Yahoo buys Flickr
·
· Score: 1
FotoFlix is even more like adobe photo album. Down to the drag and drop features of labels in Adobe's Photo Album to the search interface.
Yahoo! has a huge userbase and can immediately get rolling with a social networking. They can integrate Yahoo! Messenger and Yahoo! email and even personals. They have so many things going for them with this.
The only thing they need is to acquire FotoFlix and offer a unique photo/audio feature.
I am a fan of flickr as well. I have an account at each (though I do use fotoflix as my primary one - though I AM biased). I like that fotoflix allows me to embed or link directly to the actual flix from my personal site...jmathai.com (look at the fotoflix links on the left column).
Yahoo is already rumored to be a possible buyout company to flickr. So has Google, but it's seeming more like Yahoo might be the one to acquire flickr.
However...I think Yahoo is much more suited to look at acquiring FotoFlix...it fits into their services much more.
One step past just photo sharing is photo/story sharing. FotoFlix lets you tell a story through your photos. As well as organize them with labels (aka keywords on Flickr).
There was no better way to share my recent trip to India...than THIS!!
People who pick BSD do so based on merits, not logos.
I agree. I think what they might be trying to accomplish is to get more people to look into it's merits. Perception and impression play a role in that...fortunately or unfortunately. I'm not arguing that it's not dumb to pick software based on a logo. But I am saying that it's a fact of life...that people respond to what they "see". You can ignore that or adapt to that...which is what I feel they're deciding on...which one to do.
BSD is different from other OS's. It does a particular, vital job really, really well. The daemon logo works perfectly for that
I agree with that. I'm not so sure that CTO's see it that way though. It's kind of stupid, but obviously there is some sort of reason as to why they are considering a logo change. Not to say it's a good enough reason to warrant it or not...but there's some reason. And I think it's perception...
Take a look at their home page. Things like... "...makes FreeBSD a very economical alternative to commercial UNIX® workstations" or "The FreeBSD Foundation is a non-profit organization for which direct contributions are fully tax deductible.". I think it's a given that without commercial support and/or use FreeBSD wouldn't be where it's at today. So that's the business I was talking about.
Anyone who seriously considers the need to "un-cute" the logo of someone's software is entirely too concerned...
It doesn't really matter. What's the bottom line? Depends where you're at...but I would think that for those that run the FreeBSD project it has alot to do with getting their OS used extensively. That includes people who are too concerned with what people who watch "Queer Eye" think of them.
I really don't think all this work is being done so that geeks around the world can have secure networks. It's larger than that...and by larger i mean big corporations. (No, I'm not saying that's their only or even primary target...but surely it is one)
The religious issue I cannot believe actually warrents changing the logo and I see nothing particularly unprofessional about the daemon.
It's not completely about a "religious issue". Businesses don't necessarily care about that. But the logo plays the role of giving visual insight for a product or company. This is wny marketting firms exist.
I am not for or against a logo change...but I can definitely see the case of a "devil-ish" character as part of your logo not being the best representation of your product or company.
You don't have to dislike it...but if the 50 year old grey haired executive doesn't like it...then that's likely to hold a little more weight.
Again, I am just saying that there are definite reasons to support this both ways. I was just providing one of them.
Slashdot Mirror
Nope. Sorry about that. My being CTO is plastered all over the place. I wasn't trying to hide the face (else I would have posted anonymously).
My resume clearly states it too.

I guess I better switch then :)

I can forsee Google acquiring FotoFlix so that blogspot users can embed a "FotoFlix" into their blog instead of just posting photos to a blog.
I'm in the wrong business!

FotoFlix uses alot of "desktop-like" functionality embedded in the browser. Not just IE...but FireFox, Mozilla, Safari, Konqueror, ect.
I know it's web-based and you have to be online...but if you have a broadband connection then it shouldn't be an issue.
