Get a LifeProof case and stop worrying about being too careful.
I've taken my 4S swimming, surfing, and given it to my 9 mo old to chew on without worry. I've also dropped it on occasion, but so far it's been completely fine.
If you have a case like that and you *still* manage to break it, just pay the replacement cost.
My company uses WHMCS and, after downloading all the released data, I was happy to find that accounting had used a PayPal subscription to purchase the license, as all the "card number" fields in the SQL dump were blank.
That being said... they also store all emails sent to customers. Including the Welcome Email that includes the original password used for master accounts.
So, could be worse on our end, but still major suckage overall.
I think there is something to be said for a single monitor.
I switched to a MacBook Pro a few months back as the first Apple laptop or desktop I have ever used for work. I started out using an external display plus the MBP display as I thought I would be more productive (as that's how I always did it with my Windows systems), however, I started using "Spaces" as an experiment, and now I am completely set on using one monitor.
The issue is that with multiple monitors you have a lot to deal with... lots of distractions. While there *are* times when I would like to have windows side-by-side, I feel like I now have my own "personal attention queue" w/ Spaces. All terminals in one space, all chat/music in one space, IDE in one space, RDPs in one space, VMs, etc. It allows me to concentrate on the most important thing at that given moment by minimizing distractions.
I'm up to 9 spaces at the moment, but I am still only about 3 months in to my MBP, so I can't be sure if this is still the honeymoon phase.
I often hesitate before busting out my iPhone to record video or check email because I feel like "the rest of the world" instantly applies that "Apple snob" stereotype to anyone who uses it... and I don't want to be "that guy." Am I alone in occasionally feeling this way?
If I were you, I'd consider looking into the new hosting platforms built on cloud environments.
You should be able to find some online web hosts who charge per-use in a clustered environment so you don't have to bother about setting up your own EC2 servers (or whatever) yourself. Leave it to the experts as it were.
The original developers were more like glorified designers who didn't know anything about SQL to begin with. The team that fixed the holes were the real developers who make security a priority and who really know there stuff when it comes to SQL. I know they're smart enough to do it right the (albeit) second time.:)
We were added to the attack list a few weeks back, and one of our largest, most popular websites was hit. Apparently, the developers had never thought to sanitize their data, and we had multiple vulnerabilities throughout the site.
I implemented a transparent reverse proxy server running Apache with mod_security that helped prevent further attacks from getting through, but the developers finally saw the error of their ways and converted hundreds of inline SQL calls into stored procedures.
Since we were added to "the list", I've been seeing the same attack happen across multiple pages every 20 seconds, so they are definitely not letting up anytime soon.
Recently, my company had spent significant time troubleshooting our email servers because the management noticed that a number of customers had complained about not receiving a receipt for their order after checkout.
So, after getting a list of these customers, I found it interesting that a significant percentage of them had Earthlink email accounts. This spawned a panicked response from management when they found out, and they assumed our mail servers were to blame. We checked and re-checked MX records, SPF settings, and outgoing email queues, and found that it simply was NOT our problem. This will help clear up the issue!
Also, you are to be commended for spending the hours required to get through Earthlink's customer support system. I can honestly say it had been the worst troubleshooting experience I had ever come across.

I also didn't have a password to reset due to using Facebook Connect, so I believe we don't have (much) to worry about.
However, I decided it wasn't worth the off chance the could use it, so I decided to revoke LivingSocial permissions from my Facebook App Settings.

How about we also commission Google to shutdown services wherever we feel science and technology growth threatens our national security?

My company uses a cloud hosting provider and it's been great not even thinking about architecture as our website hosting needs have grown.

Impossible!

That sounds like a great game to play at work. I've been practicing for years!

Problem with that is that they can't. There is already a popular programming language called D++ at http://www.pagemac.com.

I'm still happy - or at least was - that I have a TNT2 Pro in one of my machines!
