Definitely. I also believe you get a discount per transaction if you're compliant. We had to become compliant for the merchant we use, and because we don't do a lot of transactions, it was only $80 a year. Small price to pay, I think, to ke

No, PCI/DSS is similar to the Better Business Bureau: many people think its an official (i.e., government mandated agency/law) but it's not. Many merchant account companies require it, but it's entirely possible to find a merchant account t

There are a few other comments on here who are surprised by this. How is it really surprising? The two main points: a. Wire fraud. They probably had some type of fake bank accounts set up or something to launder the money because they knew

Exactly, it's a silly "holy-war" because you can use both quite effectively, both have their place.

I would steer clear, the code is pretty bad, support is close to non-existent, documentation is lacking, and its not very well architected.

Great, thank you for that. I think I know what I'll be playing around with tonight.

How well does nginx work with Java stuff? I'm setting up a new server, and want to run Jira and Confluence from port 80 (issues.site.com, wiki.site.com) and Atlassian has an article for getting this to work on Apache, but not nginx. Does ng

This is pretty awesome that a project started 15 years ago is still one of the most popular pieces of software used today. Hats off to the Apache Software Foundation for such a great job.

I'm not fluent in Ruby whatsoever, but I think we need more content like this on HN. Incredibly informative and in depth. I probably won't ever learn Ruby in depth, but I love reading about this type of stuff, learned a lot. Thanks for the

Wait, people would just call somewhere and say the extension? That sounds awfully rude to me. Wouldn't you normally say, "Hi, can I have extension 432, please?" It does the same thing the article says, but you sound like a decent human bein

Someone mentioned take a nap, and I completely agree. Here's what you do: pack your lunch every day (its cheaper, and you'll most likely eat healthier, both making you more alert). Go to your car at noon (or whenever you take your lunch bre

Thanks for the help. I spoke with the dev's and it can only be compiled on a 64bit platform, and I was using 32bit, so I'm trying it on my 64bit VM.

For some reason this is just not compiling on my Ubuntu 9.10 machine. cmake works fine, and it's ready to be compiled (i.e., I have all of the right libraries installed, patched, and compiled), but when I run make, it eventually dies, sayin

I'm a long time Slicehost customer, and really like them. I like the new site layout. If the layout is whats stopping you from being a customer, then I'm not sure why anyone would use Prgmr. Basically, its usable, so I see no reason to comp

Everyone needs to lighten up. I like Sarah, I think part of her standup is funny. The joke isn't that she's using the word retarded, the joke is the utter ridiculousness of her approaching an adoption agency and saying, "please give me your

Ugh, I dislike this a lot. I'm one of the guys who actually likes PHP, so this may be a bit skewed, but what's wrong with PHP's existing alternate syntax? Most people don't know about it, but it's clean and easy to follow: <?php i

Cool, I'll see if I can work with a designer friend to get some tips. Yeah, I'm hoping if I can orient this towards people uploading their lectures, or something where bands can have a place to upload their music (I know, places like that e

Thanks for the review. Great idea, something like queuing songs shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks! I'm by no means a designer, and purchased the theme on ThemeForest.net so I could have something and just customized it from there. Hopefully I can afford to hire a designer in the future. I appreciate your feedback.

Believe it or not, PHP has come quite a bit in the recent years, and with some good developers, it's perfectly possible to write good, decent code in it.

Exactly. If you want that access, go over to Slicehost (also owned by Rackspace), get a 1024 slice, and you now have full root access to everything. I've been running several WP blogs on it for a while with no problems. I do agree that Word

Or a way to make users even more die-hard Firefox users. I don't understand how this is extremely idealistic. This is an excellent way to show how software patents are bad.

Agreed. I remember listening to Letter From Home as a kid and just loving every note that came out of my speakers.
