I always understood IPv6 routing is less expensive than v4 routing since the tables are much much smaller. Besides every modern router has IPv6 built-in these days. It's not a technical matter, it's a matter of short-term cost savings.
Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. Trac uses a minimalistic approach to web-based software project management. Our mission is to help developers write great software while staying out of the way. Trac should impose as little as possible on a team's established development process and policies.
It provides an interface to Subversion, an integrated Wiki and convenient reporting facilities.
Completely metoo, but I AGREE! Listening the interviewers speak was a nightmare. For Christ sakes learn to ask a question and then shut the f up. I don't care how witty you are and they weren't even that witty anyway, especially the girl. They did not add anything to the whole presentation besides frustration for viewers.
Books are generally written by a single person, so it would take a very long time to write a book and work full time (which can be seen in the cases of authors who have to do that), which reduces the number of books a person can write in a lifetime.
I will gladly pay for a real book, and am doing so many times a month.
Avid, Thomson/Grass Valley, et al would have a chuckle at your post.
My wife and a few friends work in television. Avid is on the way out, everyone in the field is now switching to Final Cut Pro. For one thing, it's much more stable. But it's sooo much cheaper.
Avid's marketshare is declining fast, FCP is de facto standard now in Europe.
Yours is a common fear, but as you might know, fear is a poor motivation.
I can truly say there is a way to use the pleasure of RBLs, or more appropriately DNSBLs and never, ever, ever reject legitimate mail. That is simply to use the RIGHT dnsbls.
Forget about spews and others. These are quite aggresive.
Use the spamhaus sbl-xbl and see your amount of spammy connections plummet. Use just this one. It ONLY lists confirmed, actual spammer IPs that have gone through a rigorous validation process. Also, Spamhaus is an open organisation and they have excellent, and quick, delisting policies.
Really. Just use this one and cut your time spent on spam in half. You WILL like it.
I am NOT affiliated with them, and besides they're free anyway.
Basically what the plugin does is check clients against one or more DNSBLs. You might know them from mail servers. You see, it turns out that the forms are almost always abused by bots. These bots are quite well known. sbl-xbl from spamhaus catches 80% in my setup, spamcop catches the rest. You enable the plugin for key controllers and it really does work.
(/end shameless self promotion) mod me down if you wish
That's exactly what my rails plugin does: it uses DNSBLs to check client connections. Works absolutely fantastic, too. Since i've started using the filter the spam has dropped to zero. Yes, zero.
DNSBLs provide a great way to have community-based blocklists. Pick the ones that agree most with your own policy. I recommend spamhaus but also use spamcop and dsbl.org since they're a bit faster and better suited for preventing the most current attacks.
My plugin is for ruby on rails (just drop it in and go) but shouldn't be too hard to port to PHP.
You are right in that's the music people who are keeping it alive, at least for me. I write about musicians and until a week ago would never have believed i would actually like myspace. I mean, i was there when GeoCities was introduced. The table based layout is horrible, to customize your myspace you have to implement ugly css that makes any webdeveloper vomit.
But everyone i've ever interviewed, is on myspace. And they all became my friends, I got in contact with their friends, heard a couple private dj mixes, people are sending me their new/unreleased cds, i have had enough story ideas come to me for the coming months! And that's why, for me, myspace is such a success and I think will be for a while.
Good for you computergeek, but do you realise AdSense actually provides small publishers with valuable income? I'm with you on the annoying push-the-monkey crap, but AdSense, at least to me, is a different manner.
I have to ask. Is 79 dollars (Elements) really too high a price tag? Seems more like a bargain to me. And Elements gives you way more functions than the Gimp ever will. Plus: it all works, copying/pasting works like it should, it reads and writes all common formats... I could go on. Foss has it's place, but I would not wish the Gimp on my worst enemy.
For all but the most simplistic applications you have to abandon the mapping of form elements to the database because you need to do validation.
What medicine are you on, if I may respectfully ask? Validation is built in Rails. It's built into the Model layer of the mvc pattern. You do know your design patterns, do you? And you do know that mvc has worked fantastically for software development, in like 20 years?
I think that the software development community would be better served by discussions of how to build more robust, flexible, and maintainable software (thereby driving down TCO), than by the endless discussions that we currently see about how to build it quickly.
And this is where Ruby on Rails really shines. It's very common to write tests first and code later in Rails. This alone lowers TCO considerably. Also, fewer lines of code means it's easier to comprehend for others. It does help yourself, too, when you go back to that first piece of code you wrote six months ago.
I have found that my Ruby on Rails projects are more maintanable than my Java projects, not less. The language feels much more natural, literally everything is an object, iterators are built-in, which means any object that should have.each(), does have that method indeed. And it works right away.
And don't get me started on code blocks. Those are things of beauty. So all in all, I have found that Rails is more than worth the hype. It actually delivers in terms of flexibility and maintanability.
I can appreciate your sentiment, but you do realise that advertising pays for all free content on the web, don't you? (In some way or another). Speaking as an online publisher myself, it saddens me to see people so aggresively blocking ads. I can see why though, punch the monkey and red/yellow flashing nonsense (imdb.com I am talking to you) make us all mad.
I really wish the developers of AdBlock would implement some kind of system where the blocked ads are loaded from the remote server, clicked even, all the while sending output to/dev/null. I have my income, you don't get to see ads, more or less everyone is happy. That is, until the advertisers figure out why their sales have dropped....
Not true at all. As explained in The Selfish Gene all ecosystems have an evolutionary stable state (ESS). It is a state in which there is equilibrium between all species (more precisely: all genes in the gene pool). No one species will become dominant in the ecosystem, because that gives rise to (new) mutants with plenty of 'meat' to choose from. Dominance of one particular species is just a temporary situation until ESS is eventually restored.
The nature of ESS depends on various factors: strength of the individuals, number of species, available food, yes even 'first mover advantage'. But a monopoly, or one species dominating an entire eco system, ir not natural at all.
From TFA: It is very clear that, unlike when Microsoft targeted Netscape, they are using their classic method of producing superior software by catering to the needs of the user.
Then he mentions these superior features:
- tabbed browsing
- a context menu that opens links in a new tab
- it doesn't pass the acid test
- it has "phishing protection" (whatever the hell that is--he doesn't explain what it does)
- a revolutionary navigation system where you can see your browsing history in one list
- a (small) tab that.... opens a new tab. I was like, wow. And then he explains that he doesn't think it's a good UI element anyway.
- a search box in the top right corner
- lack of toolbar options
- you can manage the addons in the browser.
This guy is an idiot. Look at the prefs. It's just the IE6 prefs with the version number bumped. And this guy has the nerve to suggest that IE7 is completely different from the current version? Come on!

Yes they can and they work great. My rails plugin uses them to great success.

Excellent replies!

Real books are almost impossible to copy.
But what to do? It seems everyone is pretty damn content. There WOULD be public outrage otherwise, right?
Right?

Shameless plug! I developed a plugin for Ruby on Rails that uses DNSBLs to combat form spam. (begin shameless self promotion)
dnsbl_check rails plugin
Basically what the plugin does is check clients against one or more DNSBLs. You might know them from mail servers. You see, it turns out that the forms are almost always abused by bots.

There isn't much you can do when a few cops come into the classroom and tell everyone to put their phones on the desk and get out.
Disconnect the battery immediately, before the phone even hits your desk.
That is one amazing app. I love it, why did I now know about this?
You can't ... they check the IP.
