Oddly enough in Chrome Stable the front face is not visible. Combined with the browser-crashing calendar demo it's got some way to go.

I've used the libpam module for Google Authenticator[0] before, the difference being that it isn't dependant on the availability of a third-party service, but you have to be much more careful about losing your device. That said Au

Definitely an interesting service. A bit of a shame that after repeatedly encouraging the use of encryption, their site doesn't support HTTPS.

This isn't the impression that the campaign website[0] gives - see the "Our Plans" section. It sounds as if new customers will be opted in by default, and existing customers will be enabled, and then have to disable the filte

Exactly, it's not that bizarre. PHP assumes when you're using && you're going to have a boolean outcome. The odd bit is that casting a boolean to a string[0] with echo coerces the result to (string) "1" fo

Although this only suspends the machine (by default, as far as I remember the only other option is hibernate).

The last time I looked at genetics, I remember a method that selected the top n genes and added a number of completely random (no crossover) genes to fill the population of the next generation. Would it be enough to add a number of complete

You should put this into a regular repository so that people can send pull requests.

Out of interest, what do you find wrong with the documentation? I've always found it pretty comprehensive and relatively easy to navigate.

Indeed; in fact this update issues an E_DEPRECATED warning when you attempt to connect to a MySQL database using the old MySQL extension.

That makes sense, but only when searching on a mobile browser. It seems like Google should show different results based on the user agent if penalising for poor support of that user agent.

I find the once-per-year installation and subsequent purging of QuickTime quite therapeutic. Is there anyone else than Apple that still serves up QuickTime video?

It read to me like those were rules for the retweet to qualify (and the follow @namecheap seems like an ask rather than a requirement, possibly not allowed to require this by Twitter TOS).

Thanks, I must have missed it last week. Looks like a much more readable alternative to phpdeveloper.org (which has too many automated posts imo).

According to the footer this site is run by the PSF[0] - but I don't see any mention of it elsewhere. Worthy of note, this physical mobile app tester[1] looks awesome. [0]: http://www.python.org/psf/ [1]: http://raspberry.io/projects/vie

Out of interest, if you run this using a cron job, what happens after the call has been placed - does the server keep running? I've had a need for a sort-of volatile web server to respond to requests like this before.

Some phones have barometers for GPS (not sure how that works) so I wouldn't be surprised to see that. Perhaps Google are building their own weather center out of human drones.

That's just redirecting to the old Directgov/Jobcenter site, which I've always felt was quite good at what it did. It might not be the prettiest, but it's not awful.
