   This happened to a wordpress blog I worked on last year. The version was a few years old and the hackers were able to add some code to footer.php that checked the referrer and if it was Google, it displayed phentermine and cialis links. F

   How are startups getting through this? By not asking. I work for ClearChannel, and I can only imagine the process I'd have to go through to get something like that cleared. It would have to go through legal (to draw up a disclaimer that

   Sometimes it's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission. If you ask now, they may say no. If you use it without asking, they probably won't do anything for a while (if they even notice). By the time it hits their radar, hopefully yo

   People lined up outside my local Sprint store to get the Evo 4G, but it was nowhere near what you would see at an Apple or AT&T store on iPhone release day. It's hard to measure passion for Android phones because on one hand there is t

    I'm really curious how Google (and other search engines) solve this problem. Do they maintain a massive list of query parameters to ignore? JSESSIONID and the like are easy enough, but there are many others I would imagine when google cra

    Your script should be able to accept a list of parameters to exclude, and then you can use regular expressions to strip them out. For example, if the urls look like www.example.com/pages/category?section=tutorials&sessionID=12345&r

    EC2 is the only provider where you can make API calls to launch 50 servers, have them all booted in a few minutes, then shut them down an hour later GoGrid ( http://www.gogrid.com ) also has this ability (they also have cloud-based F5 loa

    I don't think you are understanding this article correctly. The 'decoy item' would be a very high priced item that the restaurant does not expect to actually sell: '$96 Coq au Vin for Two. Reserve 24 hours in advance.' This is an extreme

    Thanks for pointing that out (Express versions are free). You wouldn't know it from looking at that page, since the word "free" doesn't appear anywhere on it! They do mention it in passing on the next page, though.

    The decoy pricing trick is easy to spot when pasta is on the menu. Pasta is one of the highest-margin items on the menu, so restaurants will place it next to overpriced chicken dishes. Next to a $12 chicken dish, $9 for pasta seems reason

    I don't work for Factual, so I can't speak to that. Does Yellowpages.com have an API to access this data? I've worked with the Yellowbook API in the past, and wasn't that impressed.

    The major crawlers should respect robots.txt, so you can put directives there to restrict access by useragent. For other types of traffic, look into rate limiting and throttling settings on your web server. Apache has mod_evasive, for exa

    The - can help eliminate some confusion www.pen-island.com would be more clear for a ballpoint pen website than www.penisland.com, which has another interpretation. The same goes for a site like www.sales-exchange.com vs www.salesexchange.
