I’d rather buy TrendNet than Linkless or Noobgear, or Dorklink. - Volto
This is not the time for fund raising by the Church, hosting tea parties, Preaching on how God wants us to be rich and happy or even how to have great sex in marriage and other mundane issues but, a time for the Church to humble herself in penitence. - Ij Lucky
We PHP developers are not well known for being quick to standardize on one particular library to get a particular job done. We tend to tinker, and re-chisel the wheel a few times before settling on dominant library for a particular task. - Clay Loveless
Facebook should now be called The Information Blackhole, what goes in *never* comes out. Be careful what you huck in there. - Facebook’s New ToS
Let’s assume an attacker can read our database. He has our hashed password+salt. The Brute Forcing will take a while, but with a powerful computer, or with millios of Zombie PCs and CUDA enabled GPUs it might succeed in a few months. If you are securing a website, you should not think the way people often naively think: “That attack is crazy and impractical!”. We are trying to increase security here, not judging whether people are willing to suffer some time to crack your site! - Kai Sellgren
SHA-1 is being retired for most government uses; the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology says, “Federal agencies should stop using SHA-1 for…applications that require collision resistance as soon as practical, and must use the SHA-2 family of hash functions for these applications after 2010 - SHA hash functions
Twitter hasn’t had more than a couple minutes of downtime in a while. Requests may lag from time to time, but chances are pretty good we’re not down. - Twitter API FAQ
Go take a cooking class or something and get Flex for free. Girls love guys who can cook. - Lee Brimelow
If you think C++ is not overly complicated, just what is a protected abstract virtual base pure virtual private destructor, and when was the last time you needed one? - RoadWarrior
The real irony of this problem is that even though IE6 represents so much less of the browser share now, the complexity of web apps have increased in a way that actually makes supporting IE6 harder in 2009 than it ever has before. It is no longer an annoyance, it’s a real problem - and it’s becoming clear that developers can not and will not wait for that 20% to go away on its own. - The Great IE6 Purge
Since 2003, Iraq has seen a wave kidnappings and executions, a consequence of both lawlessness and sectarian violence. And according to a study to be published tomorrow in the New England Journal of Medicine, murder after abduction was the lead cause of civilian deaths in Iraq between 2003 and 2008; and of those 19,706 murder victims, nearly one third showed signs of torture. - Nearly 20,000 Murders in Iraq Since War’s Start
On a day when the government deadline for filing income tax returns offered some Americans a timely excuse to vent their frustrations over the sagging economy and ride a metaphor two centuries in the making, 773 Tax Day tea parties were scheduled in cities from Boston to Washington, East Hampton, N.Y., to Yakima, Wash., to protest government spending — namely the Obama administration’s $787 billion stimulus package and $3 trillion budget. - Tax Day Is Met With Tea Parties
Rick Warren said Monday on CNN’s Larry King Live that he has “never been and never will be an “anti-gay marriage activist,” and made a point to inform the program’s host that he apologized to his homosexual friends for comments he made in October to his church in support of Proposition 8 in California. - Warren’s ‘backsliding’ on marriage damages church
I’m concerned that my blue-sky thinking will be obscured by your cloud computing. Any advice? - Blue Stone
Always program as if the person who will be maintaining your program is a violent psychopath that knows where you live. - Martin Golding
As far as I know, CodeIgniter can only do about as much as you see in the 20 minute blog tutorial. FB app is pretty much out of the question. I think you need to use Rails for something like that. FB is coded in PHP, so a PHP-based app would just clash. - Colin Williams
Mootools is the fastest, most innovative, and technically superior to all the others. As is, Mootools requires too much dependence upon OOP Javascript fundamentals for it be easily ingested by javascript neophytes (i.e. the vast majority of front-end developers). The community is substandard. The developers of the framework itself are elitist by association to their egotistical, presumptuous, and prodigal young javascript leader, Valerio Proietti. Collectively, they spend too much time parrying with their own community over their lack of knowledge. I was banned from the forums for bringing up their lack of friendly acceptance, and suggesting an alternate approach to communicating with the public. I suppose you could reason I am disgruntled, but this assertion would not explain why I use MooTools exclusively. - jQuery vs Mootools, one year later
If you’ve ever wished to know how sites and web applications work, (Internet Explorer 8) Eagle Eyes (the name is fitting in this context) will let you view the server-side source code of a web page. We didn’t explore this feature much, but from basic tests, the server-side code decompiler was able to tell us how the Mixx promotional algorithm worked. - Internet Explorer 8.1 Eagle Eyes Leaked
What it all boils down to is that Ruby on Rails is like the Hybrid car of tomorrow. Developers consider ROR to be the sexy new language of the future. Nevermind it’s features or how it works, it’s new. Where does that leave PHP? I suppose it’s place is as the old, outdated language that’s falling by the wayside. Quite the contrary, would one consider unix to be old and outdated? After all, it’s over 30 years old. Anything that old in the computer industry must be old and outdated. But it’s not. In the computer industry, we call unix “mature”. - MVC on PHP and a quick comparison to Ruby on Rails
