Has it occurred to no-one that there are better ways to validate an email than a regex? I wrote a quick little function once after reading the relevant RFCs that scores 16/17 valid and 14/19 invalid on his test in O(n) time. I could up tha

If you're using round robin dns, killing the web server will force clients with that particular server cached first to connect to a different one. Not particularly elegant, but not a complete fail.

Not once does he even mention looking at the query plan. SQL server will tell you exeactly what it's doing to run a query, and from that you can tell what's blocking. My guess is the update is trying to update an index the select wants to u

Frequently EE has a solution, just not the best one. In many cases it has put me on the right track. Oh, and many people don't realize that you don't need to pay: Just scroll to the bottom.

Note: Run in production IFF you want a DOS opportunity on your hands :) This is a perfect example of why not to use regular expressions to validate email addresses. It likely (1) still misses some edge cases, (2) is nearly impossible to v

It was an example. And to your point, I was assuming you'd be serving an app using ASP.Net or PHP or something, not serving static files.

Sigh... Most of you didn't even read the article. Not one of the "base it on Linux or BSD" comments gets it. This whole thing is MSR saying, "look, we got it wrong, and so did everyone else. It's not just about one computer anymore." Sure

I'm pretty sure that would defeat the purpose for many people. It sounds like in this case S3 was being used as a CDN (which it's not) to save bandwidth and improve response times. Using memcached locally gives you neither of those properti

Some of that might be useful about now... :) I'm lucky (depending on how you look at it) in that I seem to be able to work long hours fairly reguarly without drugs.

Yep. I really like some parts of it (the request pipeline), and hate others (Web Forms).

So wait, does the new device run Android? Their site doesn't lead me to believe it does, and google searches only return stories of people failing to run Android on the last one.

Perhaps I'm missing it, but what does changing the delivery protocol buy you? XMPP does little to nothing more than email in terms of sender verification. SPAM would continue unabated.

I also work at a startup in the location space. If you're just looking to play around and have fun, I'd definitely recommend avoiding the "feature phones" (J2ME and BREW) and focusing instead in Symbian and Blackberry. Most Windows Mobile d

It actually does store everything in a huge MSSQL database behind the scenes. From an administrative standpoint this is wonderful because there is only one thing to back up. Security is pretty good. You can usually set permissions on a per

In my experience it's a heavy handed solution meant for big problems (like serious enterprise work with hundreds or thousands of users). While you can do a lot with it, little is simple or straightforward. Chances are if you don't immediate

For real time, reliable two way messaging you'll either want to peer with the carriers you support (using SMPP) or use an aggregator. There are a lot of aggregator options and you'll want to shop around to get the best price. Using SMPP I'

If you use the example code as-is and the blogblogblog page is compromised or malicious, it can inject arbitrary javascript into your page. Best to html encode all input from third party sources, especially users.

Whether or not the suggested courses of action have any merit is not going to be a constructive debate, but the problem is real. People who really know what they're doing come up with the simplest solutions. Almost every time I've had someo

I love how people feel that collecting data they're broadcasting into the open with no expectation of privacy is a privacy violation. Think of it as your neighbors recording when the lights in your house are on or off. It may be weird, but

Or, if you need full access (including web) to the local subnet, but wish to restrict your internet access, just remove your default gateway. I do this regularly with good results.

I can't speak to java's support for consuming web services, but I've written plenty of code that consumes java web services from .net. So far most of the problems I've encountered were the result of the partner (using java) publishing an in

Many of our best developers didn't know C# or ASP.Net when they started. That doesn't appear to be a huge problem if you find the right person. We've actually received quite a bit of support from Microsoft (free software, design review ses

I chose Microsoft initially because it's what I knew best at the time, so it was the fastest way to get a working demo out the door. Then I stuck with it because: SQL Server 2005: The only other options were PostgreSQL and Oracle. MySQL 5
