Coding direct to the database (layer) should only be done if the database (schema) is used for only one project. Then, the DB should only be accesible to some restricted IP, most of the time this would be internal only.
If the DB (schema) will be used by multiple different projects, it should be accesed over SOAP/XML/Rest/WhatEverProtocolDuJour _only_ Otherwise schema changes to the DB will affect more and more projects directly. This would be the case for business, not for John Doe's Website.

Your parents should not have to ssh into your server. Your parents should not have to ssh into their own server using a differrent port setting. You should write a wrapper-script for your parents and stick it on their desktop if really needed.
Sorry, but people who charge money for website development (aka. professionals) and who claim they don't know what SQL-Injection or Cross Site Scripting is about, should get theit development license revoked or something.
"I don't know" is a very lame excuse, espacialy if they call themselves a pro.
I know that complete security is near impossible, but basics are still basics. This is like a doctor claiming he had until now never heard about steril(?) scalpels and hygiene basics. You don't excpet to die from wound fever, after three stichtes anymore do you. (200 years ago it might have been the case, but not here and now anymore)
Ubuntu is not the distributor of Automatix. It does not endorse Automatix. I know because I lurk in the ubuntu help IRC channels sometimes, I know that Automatix causes many problems for users. These users then turn to "official" ubuntu support, only to get redirected to the automatix channel.
The Automatix vs. plain Ubuntu battle is well documented on the web.

Svnserve is ok for a few developers accessing the repository.
Once you let external people in to play, using apache+mod_svn+mod_dav makes sense. You can have ACL on abitrary directory levels in the repository with apache, this is not possible with svnserve.
Since apache is handling the requests, the logs are right there.
We use svn here exclusivly since 0.9, for development in java. We store everything, from java source files, jars, images, database dumps, or whatever else, in svn, as far as the projekt needs it. I never have encountered anybody here complaining the "binary" file are slower then text files.
I also think the article is wrong where it says that svn only stores deltas. AFAIK for each file, svn stores a base revision, then all the deltas, and a "current" or "HEAD" copy of the file. That way, svn use at least twice the filesize in disk space to store one file. Not that diskspace matters anymore....
One of the design axioms in the svn team was that diskspace is cheap, and bandwith needs to be conserved.
As of yesterday (8 mai 2007) sun released the JDK under the GPL2. Once the rush is over, go to https://openjdk.dev.java.net/ and have a look around for a free implementation. AFAIK one of the main devels of KAFFEE is now one off five people looking over openjdk.
I pretty much type the way you do (and some others as I read here), but I also learn Dvorak atm. and switching between the two is not as hard as I have imagined.
It is a bit like switching spoken languages (I am Dutch, living in Germany, but I read and watch a lot in English)
The Dvorak switch might be easy because my typing style in Dvorak is "home row" and qwerty-style is a very fast-flying hunt and peck. Switching between english and german keyboard layout is not that that hard either. (Happens sometimes when I Vnc/Rpd into another computer)
Funny thing is, the more often you switch around, the easier it gets. (keyboards and languages)
This is a major mistake in the article. 5 Dollar per month is the subscription price to download cedega and further updates. Minum subscription is 3 months.
You can use cedega as long as you want, even if your subscription is no longer vallid. If you want an update, you have to be a current subscribing member.
The free in linux refers to freedom, not "free of charge". You can choose to donate $5 a month to a project/company like cedega, or you can choose to get things runnig on wine, the DX9 implementation in wine is good enough to play Half Life2.
Cedega: easy installer, very easy to have multiple games installed, support for copy protected games without an no-cd-crack Wine: free, also free as in beer, may not be so easy to use
But in windows, the CTRL-ALT-DEL from keyboard only, is not correctly implemented either. For instance: If you install vnc as a service, you can invoke CTRL-ALT-DEL from the viewer menu.
So just probing for the CTRL-ALT-DEL combination means not necesarily that it was invoked by the (hardware) keyboard/user
If you are only looking at the tech sector, you are correct. Have you bought a gallon of gass lately, bought an ounce of coffee, seen what you spent on an movie with popcorn and coke? Tried to buy a 'coffee to go' for under 2 Bucks?
A lot of things have gotten more and more expensive, a little bit each year.
It has to, _because_ of inflation. The tech sector is about the only thing getting cheaper constantly.
but couldn't someone claim that they have every right to pressure MS to fix ActiveX in this case?
No, they can't.
I don't like MS, but you do not have a _right_ to push them, or any body else.
If you don't like it, don't buy it, and stick with that what you allready have.
Win XP wil still be supported for a while.

No,

The chinese secret service are so secret,
that the name is not known even by the chinese secret service.

That's not true, Ron H. had the best of intensions.
Only that the best was only for himself and a select few,
and not for all others.
But intensions are still intensions.

How about throwing an BreakOutOfAllLoopsException in the inner loop.
Just don't forget to catch the exception in the apropriate place.

Where I work, you can choose where and how you develop,
but production servers will _allways_ be win2k(3) servers with oracle.
As the GP said, cross platform deployment is very easy with java.
This is a major mistake in the article.
