Google loses patent ruling | The Journal Gazette: "Google successfully argued that the patent owners had waited too long to file the infringement suit. Google said Vringo and its predecessors knew of Google’s publicly disclosed method of filtering ads as early as July 2005 yet didn’t file the lawsuit for more than six years.
Lycos, a pioneer in search engines that once rivaled Yahoo as most popular search site, is now owned by India’s Ybrant Digital,"

10 Useful Wordpress User Interface / Dashboard Hacks!
10 Useful Wordpress User Interface / Dashboard Hacks!: "Further wordpress shows total counts of all posts (pending, published, all, drafts) present in the entire blog. This is totally unacceptable and it may present a security risk. You dont want to reveal entire list of blog posts to your users. The solution is to show posts, submitted by the user who is currently logged in and remove all post counts etc.. This is the key to design a best user interface.
Note: I have designated the default user role as “contributor” when they register. You may want to change this, depending on what user role you set, for example author.
This code will only show posts submitted by author/user, who is currently logged in:

Assigning DNS Names to Create a Domain Hierarchy
Assigning DNS Names to Create a Domain Hierarchy: "Because DNS is the predominant name system on the Internet, DNS names are globally recognized and have well-known registration authorities. Active Directory clients requesting to log on to the network query DNS to locate domain controllers.
In Windows NT 4.0, the domain locator was based on the network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) Name System (NBNS), and domains were identified with NetBIOS names The server-based component of NBNS is called the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server. NetBIOS names are simple, single-part names, and the NetBIOS namespace cannot be partitioned. In contrast, DNS names are hierarchical, and the DNS namespace can be partitioned along the lines of the hierarchy."

A friend or associate of yours can somehow see your new website and you can not. This is most likely because his ISP's DNS servers are able to get the information at that time, where your ISP's DNS servers can not. Huh?!?
Here is yet another example:
What if you inadvertently provide the wrong nameserver information to your registrar such as entering one DNS server correctly but the other wrong? In this case, you would have experienced these problems right up to and well beyond the 72 hour propagation period. You'll have to update that information again and wait another 72 hours. Ouch!
Here is a neat one:
You are transferring your hosting to a new WHP. During propagation you are working on development of some pages in your website. But you notice that when trying to view your most recent changes, they appear and then vanish or they don't appear at all."

The remaining records each contain three fields which describe a DNS database file: the type of DNS information, the domain defined in the file, and the filename. There are six records that refer to DNS databases for which this DNS server has primary responsibility. The six domains defined here are:
foo.com: The DNS entries for the foo.com zone, which are in the file foo.com.zone.
210.168.192.in-addr.arpa: The foo.com domain is associated with the IP Class C address 192.168.210.0 (a valid IP address for use in a private network per RFC 1918). Reverse lookups (i.e., obtaining the host name from an IP address) are accomplished with a reverse database file. The name of the domain is the reverse dotted decimal notation of the domain's IP address, followed by in-addr.arpa, an indication of the use of IP addresses within the ARPA address assignment domain.

What geeks need to tell our parents about shopping online safely and securely - Scott Hanselman: "t's easier to remember "amazon.com" than it is to remember a number like 194.105.56.3. An address is a convenience.
However, do you trust the Yellow Pages? One day a book showed up on your doorstep, you reference it and it tells you where stuff is. What if an evil-doer dropped pretend Yellow Page books on everyone's doorstep and folks who wanted to go to the store were sent somewhere evil? Hopefully at some point you'd "feel wrong" about the directions you were given and you'd question yourself.
For the most part, you're usually OK, but if you ever type an address and go somewhere that feels wrong, ask someone. There are toolbars and weird little evil bits of software (called malware or adware or spyware) that can "hijack" your browser."

Lean Startups Are Like Science - Blog Articles - LessEverything: "Lean Startups Are Like Science
written by Tim on June 13, 2012
We work with a lot of startups, and most of them these days aim to be a "lean startup". The only problem is that folks always seem to misunderstand what a lean startup is or how to apply the techniques. Ultimately, a lean startup is no different from any other business. You need to find a balance between sales, marketing, bookkeeping, customer development and building your product. The right balance depends on your product, your personality and your staff.
If you're spending all of your time building your product, you're likely ignoring what your customers have to say. You're probably building exactly what they don't need, resulting wasted effort and missed revenue."

Drupal vs BuddyPress as a Social Networking site | drupal.org
Drupal vs BuddyPress as a Social Networking site | drupal.org: "Drupal, probably more so than any package listed, is capable of being the premier choice for a social network site. It really all depends on what modules are developed, and that depends on those who have the good hearts and the know-how to create those modules.
If I had the time and the php knowledge, I'd be right there with them, building modules. Alas, neither time nor training is mine at the moment. I don't know what the technical limits of Drupal are (and ALL software has limitations), but I'd hazard a guess that most if not all of the modules needed to make such a site could be developed if someone was so inclined.
I don't know about the current state of Dolphin, but last time I was looking at it, it was buggy and lacking some necessary components unless you were willing to pay for them"

Drupal vs BuddyPress as a Social Networking site | drupal.org: "HOWEVER, if you're going to incorporate e-commerce facility, Drupal + Ubercart rocks!!! There is Wordpress e-Commerce form www.instinct.co.nz - but I haven't got much experience with that one.
Also Drupal views is way too time-consuming, compared to templating in Wordpress.
BuddyPress - well, it's new, it's maintained, it's got awesome groups, profiles, messaging etc and the theming in Wordpress is nice and easy. BuddyPress (as with Drupal) is well-scalable too because it's core is Wordpress Mu.
Elgg is cool too, but it has a limited community and contributions (for now, that is). As for e-commerce solutions there and ease of templating - I can't say."

JCow is also one of the best scripts. With free edition, it provide one way communication i.e. there will be no groups, forums, user roles etc. You will require pro edition even for some of the most prominent features provided by Elgg, Buddypress. Demo

Paul Krugman Thinks Obama’s Still Screwing Up | TPMDC
Paul Krugman Thinks Obama’s Still Screwing Up | TPMDC: "stimulative measures he took were precisely what the country needed, and as a result America is on the mend — is based on a gamble that the economy will be in a steady recovery come Election Day. But if outside factors diminish the outlook, it will leave voters with the impression that Obama’s approach itself was the problem, rather than the vigorous Republican resistance that forced him to scale back his ambitions.
“What they should be saying is, ‘We have the right ideas and we’re pursuing them as far as we can given the opposition from Republicans,’ which would be more or less the true narrative,” Krugman said. “They have decided that it sounds like weakness to say that we haven’t been doing everything that we should be doing."

Perhaps you could add my name to the perpetually perplexed regarding DNS issues in general. While I have learned much while struggling to simply have “easily resolvable” websites that are not prone to all sorts of malicious attacks, there are still so many issues that still need clarification.
I finally began to believe that perhaps “owning or leasing” one’s own “static” IP’s is no longer the answer for the issue of creating name servers for my own use and the use of future clients that I would like to host."

Conflict Resolution
Conflict Resolution: "Cain killed Abel. It was swift, cruel, and permanent.
After this incident, the next familial conflict we find is with Lot and Abraham. Abraham beseeches Lot not to argue with him because, "we are brothers" (Genesis 13:9). Their conflict was resolved by separation from each other. Even though Abraham risked his life to save Lot after this separation, there is no record of them ever interacting together after this separation. The conflict is resolved by their going separate ways.
In the conflict between Isaac and Ishmael, again we find that the two parties separated in order to resolve their conflict. While their parting is not necessarily permanent, it is dramatic and, according to many commentators, it was considered the 9th Divine test of faith for their father Abraham."

Eadweard J Muybridge celebrated in a Google doodle | Technology | guardian.co.uk: " Muybridge's "The Horse in Motion", a film strip-style collection of shots created using 24 cameras which capture the running habits of racehorses owned by Leland Stanford, a Californian businessman and animal breeder.
Stanford had wanted to know if galloping horses had all four legs off the ground, as previously portrayed by painters, and engaged Muybridge in an attempt to find out.
The photographs, taken in 1872 and regarded as one of the earliest forms of videography, demonstrated that all four legs often did leave the ground. However, they were not as artists had depicted them, with the legs stretched out fore and aft, but with the four legs tucked up under the horse."

The problem is that if we configure the chroot restriction for the ftp users we will notice that as expected they will be locked in the chrooted folder (let’s say their home directory). If we try to create a symlink to the other folder they need access, this will just not allow them to change into that folder (break out the chroot) and this is very normal."

Today, the demands of cloud computing require, dare we say, a mainframe-like approach to systems management.

A Complete Guide to VPS Hosting
A Complete Guide to VPS Hosting: "So What IS VPS, Anyway?
In answering this question, maybe it’s better to examine how VPS hosting fits in to the overall offerings of most hosting companies. Shared hosting is just that – your site is hosted on a machine with a bunch of other sites, and each of you share the same resources, including RAM, disk space, and CPU. Your site uses what it needs if it’s available, and if it’s not – well, that’s the limitation of shared hosting. Likewise, a dedicated server is also self-explanatory – your site is the only one hosted on server, and you have all the aforementioned resources available at your beck and call"

Likewise, a dedicated server is also self-explanatory – your site is the only one hosted on server, and you have all the aforementioned resources available at your beck and call"

post - Are https URLs encrypted? - Stack Overflow: "But if you are using GET instead of POST then the user will still be able to cut and paste the URL out of the location bar, and you will probably not want to put confidential information in there that can be seen by anyone looking at the screen.
All that said, you should be careful of your terminology. To quote a famous swashbuckler: You keep using that word (URL) I do not think it means what you think it means"

An addition to the helpful answer from Marc Novakowski - the URL is stored in the logs on the server (e.g., in /etc/httpd/logs/ssl_access_log), so if you don't want the server to maintain the information over the longer term, don't put it in the URL.

This is a very good point – so even if they are encrypted, maybe better not to put secret information in them anyway. – William Denniss "

I'm going to take a leap here and assume you mean the "GET" portion of the https request.
In that case, yes and no. The server address portion of the URL is obviously not encrypted since it is used to set up the connection.
Everything else is encrypted in an HTTPS connection. But if you are using GET instead of POST then the user will still be able to cut and paste the URL out of the location bar, and you will probably not want to put confidential information in there that can be seen by anyone looking at the screen."

post - Are https URLs encrypted? - Stack Overflow: "
And URL recording is important since there are Javascript hacks that allow a completely unrelated site to test whether a given URL is in your history or not. You can make a URL unguessable by including a longish random string in it, but if it's a public URL then the attacker can tell that it has been visited, and if it has a short secret in it, then an attacker could brute-force that at reasonable speed"

Yes, the SSL connection is between the TCP layer and the HTTP layer. The client and server first establish a secure encrypted TCP connection (via the SSL/TLS protocol) and then the client will send the HTTP request (either GET or POST) over that encrypted TCP connection."

post - Are https URLs encrypted? - Stack Overflow: "It's probably a bad idea to put confidential data in the URL anyway. It will be displayed in the browser's address bad too, remember? People don't like it if their password is visible to anyone who happens to glance at the screen. Why do you think you need to put confidential data in the URL? – jalf Jan 31 '09 at 22:03

URLs are also stored in browser history and server logs - if I wanted to have my name and password stored somewhere, it would not be in these two places. – Piskvor Jun 30 '10 at 15:33

If you want actual software, remember that last working version is 1.99.8, so checkout the tag.

If you clone the git, run ./autogen.sh which makes basic autotools for you. Then you can continue with ./configure, make, etc."
