Cool! Thanks for the info! I love Postgres buy haven't done a lot of replication with it yet. I'll checkout SkyTools. Thanks again.

Another vote for Postgres. MyISAM is a joke for serious use, and InnoDB isn't better/faster than postgres in my experience. Postgres has felt much more mature and more focused on delivering things you'd expect in a real database (FKs, etc.

I have my own code I use on my projects. It uses secure SHA 256 hashing for the passwords. The code handles registration, login, logout, and forgot password flows.

If you're just working by yourself, then by all means use whatever you want. If you're working on a multi-developer team, or someone else might have to work on or try to fix your code later, please use structured objects, not Maps. The poi

Odd. The last several places I've worked have switched to Jira (from Mantis, Bugzilla, some home grown tool, Trac, Excel) and everyone was happier (devs, testers, PMs). Perhaps it wasn't setup well for your uses? I'm not sure. Personally

Which just came out on the 9th of April I think, which is how many years late? Also, it doesn't appear to install correctly unless you're running OS X Server. Fine for production, useless for doing development on my laptop with.

My experience has been the opposite. Yes, you can get Oracle XE on a limited set of platforms (still no OS X support for any current Oracle databases), for free, although the default configs leave a lot to be desired. However that doesn't

I really wish it had been IBM. IBM's investment in Java, open source, free tools, etc... has historically been stellar. Oracle, not so much. I would have felt much better about Java's future if it were in IBMs hands.

Confluence is a really amazing product! I've used it for document and project management at companies large (Fortune 100) and small (my 3 person startup), and it's worked great. It has a ton of excellent features and polished interface out

No. Buying a product/paying for a service isn't the same as gambling, and without a potential high payoff (3 million dollars or whatever) you aren't triggering the same neurochemicals.

From a comment above, United Mercantile takes 30%, so it sounds like you'd be better off with them instead of small claims court. Also, many/most states don't actually do the collection for you if you win, so you may have to resort to a co

Small Claims Court: usually limited to 2-3k, so you're giving up 7-8k, AND you have to spend your time in court. Doesn't seem like a wise expenditure of time versus revenue given the other options. Lawyer Letter: TJIC's suggestion is a ver

This isn't about moral rights to be a dick. This is about business and how you handle companies that owe you large sums of money and have made it clear they have no intention of paying. Boredguy8's suggestion seems odd to me, in that it's

As a Java Enterprise architect/developer/hire-ee/hire-er I have to disagree. I've worked at a large number of places, and as long as you have relevant experience, and are smart, that's usually what people want. I don't care if you've used

No need to bring immigration status into it. Frankly loaning huge sums of money to people with poor credit ratings and not enough income to pay it off with if they wanted to was a horrible idea, and yet tons of "smart" people made it their

1) I wouldn't. It's simply not something I'd put my money into. For lots of reasons you clearly wouldn't agree with, which is fine, you can invest your money in it. 2) Like those people who invested in the bonds backed by subprime mortgag

The 140 char limit, the inability to attach files, etc... seem very counter-productive with regards to intra-corporate communication. I'd never look toward Twitter for that role. IRC, campfire, Confluence, etc... sure, but never Twitter.

I'm curious as to the point of building a Twitter clone (other than because you can). It seems that Twitter has really captured the market for 140 char messages. What is the differentiator here?

If they're able to sniff/steal your cookie they can easily capture any other request headers. This wouldn't be the case for brute forcing cookie values, but hopefully your cookie is secure enough to make that a non-issue. AOL, and a few ot

If you're subcontracting and getting paid corp-to-corp they shouldn't be skimming much off the top. I'm just pretty sure that the market rate for a senior Java dev or team lead with 7+ years of experience is a lot higher than the pre-tax c

Don't take this the wrong way, but either: A) You aren't very good (or at least aren't as skilled/productive as other folks with 7 years of experience) or B) You really need to learn how to negotiate better For a senior Java dev with 7 year

ATG (www.atg.com). It's very expensive eCommerce software, J2EE based, with their own IOC container, data access layer, etc... At the moment the demand for good ATG devs and architects far exceeds the supply.
