I've said it before, and I'll say it again... What the hell does anyone need multiple monitorsnfor? Outside of multi-seat, I think its just pretentious and you're looking for bragging rights (like people who brag about how many cores they have, or how much RAM they have).
Your eyes can only focus on one screen anyway, what the heck is the point? This is a serious question.
My first thought was that it was a phishing attempt, but after inspecting the email I decided to go directlt to name.com amd do a password reset through the "I forgot my password" thing. Used my trusty KeePassX and generated a new 32 character password.
I was not aware of these issues. Thank you for pointing this out to me.
My experience with MongoDB hasn't been much outside it a fairly small personal multimedia indexing database. In reality I could probably have gotten away with a flatfile database but I like the OO nature of MongoDB.
These two distros are very similar, with a few key differences but in both you can choose how stable or not stable you would like. If you want stable, you can have stable. If you need bleeding edge, you can have bleeding edge.
Granted its not "automatic updates" but I don't like the idea of my server doing updates like that without me initiating them.
Without any actual information on the project, this is my recommendation... MongoDB is designed for clustering and replication of various types of Data.
Node.JS scales fairly well and is pretty light weight.
With Geolocation DNS you can start small in your local area hern add servers in places you need to.
My mailboxes are all IMAP, so I found a use for the Local Inbox in Thunderbird that I always thought was a useless feature.
At the end of the year, I create a subfolder labeled by Year, and I download all copies from the the year before the last (eg, my last download was of 2011 emails), then I purge them from the IMAP server to save space This way I still have universal access to my last years emails but easily searchable archives available at home.
If you keep regular backups of your/home dir then you need not worry about losing them.
I've never understood why the US govt is so hell bent on protecting corn farmers so much so to put an import ban on sugar.
When I was in the US anything sweet tasted like fucking garbage. Corn syrup is absolutely awful. I don't understand how soda companies are even in business down there.
If this beet bio-fuel helps bring in more beet sugar production, I say its a good thing for Americans. Corn syrup is nasty.
In all honesty, that's not a bad thing. Aside from the annoyance factor, it means things are getting fixed and features being added and the updates are at least available to the public.
I don't own an iDevice, so I don't know if they have easy or automated OTA firmware/iOS updates or not.
I have a cheap 2 year old Android phone and it does not have firmware/OS updates available (v2.3.4).
My contract is up on August 4th. Assuming the S4 comes out before then, perhaps the cost on the S3 will come down and I'll be able to afford it sans contract renewal. Doubly because I want to switch providers.
As much as I like the UNIX time format, it is very limited on 32 bit systems.
I store mine in the YYYYMMDDhhmmss format. I stick to GMT/UTC for the timezone. Stor it as a CHAR(14) and you're set for another 7986 years.
The beauty of this is it fits in fixed character space, entirely numeric, is easily sortable, and easy to select by range. It is still fairly easy to manipulate, just not as easy as UNIX. It is also just as easy to break out and reformat using regex's.
I have zero problems with static image ads. So long as they aren't popping up in popup windows (or "modal" windows).
I think in this specific case, the problem lies in the fact that they use an Advertising network.
Any targeted news site isn't worth their salt if they can't do the leg work to obtain their own advertisers and cut their own deals.
A few things would come of this, if they went this route: 1) Not having to share profits with the ad network 2) Ads served from their own domain, making adblock not work out of the box (ad networks are preconfigured). 3) Better targeted ads 4) hopefully higher quality ads, as the company itself would select the ads.
Hopefully they would know to put the ad images in the same folder as their content or website structure images. Also don't use Javascript. Use PHP or other server side language to rotate and manage them.
I had this discussion with a friend of mine recently.
My laptop came with a 500GB drive in it, I've had it since december and I'm barely using 30GB.
I mentioned to my friend I was looking at an Intel 120GB SSD. He brought up hybrid drives and insisted I get one of them. I don't have the need for a lot of storage on my laptop, that's why I have my desktop with 2x2TB drives in it. My laptop is not used (and it shoulnt be) in the same way as my desktop.
If in 5 years from now I'm still using the same laptop, and I need more storage, prices on SSD's will have fallen enough that I will buy a higher capacity drive.
You can buy a wired DSC kit for about $120. Additional motion detectors (I recommend DSC Bravo's) for about $35/each on amazon.
Google "alarm monitoring diy" and choose a monitoring service. I've seen them as low as $8/month if you pay a year in advance. Most of these services can provide you with a certificate to take to your insurance company. Monitoring usually pays for itself in this sense by reducing your insurance costs.
Not a particularily fun story. I'm a little fuzzy on the exact details(this was almost 15 years ago), but I am certain it was because the school relied on Active Directory (or something, I really dont know... whatever it was back then on Win98) and I discovered you could unplug the ethernet port, type in any random username and password and it would fail to login, but then still allow you to gain a desktop. Plug the ethernet port back in and voila, you had access to the internet.
I also recall the good ol' local Administrator account in highschool had a blank password (this was XP). So you could essentially do the same thing, without needing to unplug the Ethernet port, by simply choosing Local machine in the Domain setting at the login prompt.

Opposite experience here. Been using Linux since 2004. Yes it was bumpy at first but I've always found what I needed to work the way I wanted/needed.
Windows is so unfriendly to scripting languages, and too focused on pretty widgets.
Linux is my preference. Windows 7 in a VM at work for development testing.
Each to their own, I say. :-)
That's the only reason. But that's changing.
I have a CS2 license and have run it without issue under WINE for a long, long time.
I tried CS4 trial under WINE and it ran great also, just didn't find a real reason to buy a upgrade license, though. CS2 still fits my needs.
I'll ross my hat in the ring as well.
I currently use android, and that's pretty much out of necessity. They have the apps I need, its rooted and unlocked.
I really like the idea of FirefoxOS. I hope that when i do get my hands on it, it is as stable as my experience with android has been.
I am concidering picking up the Nexus 4. I hope that I can get FirefoxOS loade up on it.

I wonder if they could adapt the technology to filter out lobbyists whispering in the politicians ears.
My many web design/development clients would disagree with you. I don't even want to recall the times I've had to tell them No for blinking things.
Unfortunately they think blinking == attention getting, whereas we think blinking == f*cking irritating.
To be fair, rsync + ssh is equally secure as scp. I actually think rsync uses scp in that situation (please correct me if I am wrong).
The advantage I see rsync having is it is useful for automated (backups) of a large collection of files vs gzipping and copying via scp.
Although git also does a great job of that with concurrent revisioning built in.
It all boils back down to using the right tool for the job.

Red Hat is doing something no other distro vendor has done
... Gentoo? And Daniel Robbins' Funtoo project?

iPad(tm) Mini. Simple as that.
They already have a trademark on iPad, so it makes sense and would have saved them the filing fee, as miniscule as it probably was.
I use Thunderbird.

Also note mod_security is also available for Nginx and IIS.
Let me preface by saying I'm Canadian.

Yes, it does.
Dilemma solved.

Just my two cents.
I live in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
I can't say I'd ever want DST after growing up here. I'm 24 years in age.
A lot of my family lives in Alberta, and I do a lot of business all over Western Canada. I can't say its ever really been an issue.
Oddly enough, as ass backwards as some things are here, this is one thing I like about Saskatchewan.
