Mexico is beautiful and amazing place with great food and wonderful people. It does have problems, yes, the government for one, a culture of corruption, a "caste system" mentality, a lack of focus on community (which leads to awfu

This might help some: http://www.canvaslms.com/ It's actually open source, you can host it yourself if you chose or they will run it for you for a fee. You can program against it... build plugins etc. There are also a

I actually worked at a place a guy did use SQL to build pages. He had very very long select statements with phrases like "SELECT '<td>' + u.user_id + </td>' FROM users u" and actually returned whol

Well, to be fair, I was never fan of Access and do think it has customization and expansion problems. I have never built an app using Access, but I have gone through a few broken Access apps and re-written them into web apps. In my limited

I believe when Thoreau was arrested for not paying his taxes in opposition to the Mexican War he had walked into town to have his shoe fixed. So yes... it's a common misconception he lived out in the middle of nowhere. He really didn&#

This looks cool, but if I'm already going to write the HTML and the SQL I'll just write the app. I already have a framework and method to do that anyway and I don't have to learn a new system or be locked to some way of doing

I use OwnCloud but I'm hopeful a better version in something like Python emerges soon. Have to agree with OP (who did audit the code as you suggest). PHP OwnCloud feels a bit like a janky duck taped mess. I'm always a bit surprise

You are getting down-voted but I always had the same feelings. Lit teachers often read far far too much symbolism into the text. It is usually simply guesses or completely unfounded and stretched opinion far removed from what the author int

How does he vent smoke from the lighting fire/torch inside the house? The under floor heating is cool, but I would have made a fireplace w/ a chimney.

You keep making it out like they suspended individual certs. That would have been bad enough but it isn't what happened. They revoked all certs including those they had previously sold (with certain implied expectations) to people (suc

This happened last Monday morning incidentally. So the authors certs have actually been suspended for at least a week already.

Maybe people shouldn't sell cell phones to drug dealers. But what Geotrust did was suspend all cell phones for a certain block of people. In my case, this caused me extra effort and is black mark on clients trust for me. This might be

No. Separation of concerns and all....

"But here's the thing: why did Geotrust just go ahead and revoke the certificates for all .PW domains without any warning?" Why indeed? My first notice of this was a client unable to use the app even though the cert was issue

No. Absolutely no. A net positive is not being realized for humanity when you consider all the factors in this type of behavior. What this is a wasteful process of leaching excessive production into the bank accounts of people pretending to

"we have a mostly functional court system" I think we actually have a manifestly dysfunctional court system. But I suppose comparatively it works at some level.

When you know something isn't going to happen it's ok to suggest it. This is particularly useful if later it can be used as example of how your company is not actually an abusive parasitic organization but really cares about meeti

For some reason wherever there are lots of people (at least in the US...I don't know about the rest of the world) discourtesy, entitlement and destructiveness seem to abound. Personally I think the answer is better policing and giving
