Great tips, thank you. And the "professional russian" wouldn't per chance be a reference to this Reddit celebrity, would it :-)? http://www.youtube.com/user/FPSRussia#p/u/0/WOoUVeyaY_8

A moderator from PSX-Scene.com gave an interesting in-depth explanation as to what is going on with the PlayStation Network on a Reddit AMA recently: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/gx6o4/im_a_moderator... His take (and he admits

I remember when I first used HA-Linux in a project being highly amused when I came across the acronym STONITH and discovering that it meant "Shoot The Other Node In The Head" :-) http://www.linux-ha.org/wiki/STONITH All jokes aside, it is

I have, and you're right it doesn't seem to help. But funnily enough, I also found with so many people watching over my shoulders that I was forced to think cleanly and logically about the process I was going through to diagnose the faults

You could take a lesson from the Mozilla Foundation about isolating phones in Faraday Cages: http://oduinn.com/blog/2010/02/11/unveiling-mozillas-faraday... Or you could stick it in a microwave. (I've used this to test if my home 'repaire

In this case I believe so. I was doing nothing more than recovering text messages and phone call logs so that they could be printed. The police had already seen and witnessed the information directly on the devices, but had asked if they co

Just reading some more about the device in question. The downloads section of their website has some interesting information. http://www.cellebrite.com/ufed-support-center/downloads.html The "Apple iPhone Passcode Bypass instructions" doc

The Cellebrite website is here: http://www.cellebrite.com/forensic-products/ufed-physical-pr... Wonder if they sell to private individuals?; they only seem to list military, law enforcement and intelligence agencies as their target custom

I would counter that with the argument that most people paying the bills do not want to pay the extra short-term costs associated with doing things more correctly. I know that I'm probably preaching to the choir here when I say that this is

To do this you probably want to ensure that the webserver output buffer, PHP's output buffer, and possibly even the TCP stack buffer (if they are all different sizes) are filled with enough test data to get flushed and sent to the browser b

Considering that nginx has no concept of a .htaccess file or per-directory configuration file (they kill performance) I'm not sure what you mean here. nginx itself reports clear and easy to understand errors on it's configuration files. If

While dtrace is a wonderful tool, it is a little disappointing that when Apple adopted it from Sun that they modified it so that setting a simple flag in your code (P_LNOATTACH) will prevent it being traced. http://dtrace.org/blogs/ahl/20

This has been shown to not necessarily always be the best option for performance. See http://blog.getify.com/2009/11/labjs-why-not-just-concat/ , and http://yepnopejs.com/ The best and brightest in the JS performance area now mostly advo

Yup, really impressed by this local (to me) kiwi company. They have solved the connectivity issue with complete offline functionality via HTML 5 storage and syncing; they also do integration with cash tills, barcode scanners, payment system

While it's a neat little trick, I'm not so sure I like this. This is adding unnecessary headers and traffic overhead. It doesn't even addresses some of the points the author mentioned e.g. "someone deployed something in a weird way and bypa

Just a quick note - Symphony (the CMS) is different to Symfony (the Framework) - I presume you meant the latter? These two seem to get confused all the time.

As somebody who is a huge fan of the Quintette du Hot Club de France and a major Django Reinhardt fanatic, I was wondering if you'd both mind renaming your projects to something else and stop polluting my Gypsy Jazz searches. Just kidding.

I keep beating the Compass drum too. This approach seems like so much work and rather primitive in comparison. Compass will manage all this automatically, on the fly.

As native-english speaker who lived in Germany for a while I would strongly suggest NOT to use geolocation to pick the default language. Use the browser Accept-Language setting to pick the default - this is what it's for and most browsers s

This may not be what you want to hear, but have you considered partnering with a designer? Is there some reason that you feel you need to also cover this part of the project too? It's difficult enough to master and stay on top of all the te

Where are you based? I live up in the Bay of Islands where it's about as isolated as you can get and still have DSL. It's been an interesting last few years freelancing from that situation. The isolation from like-minded technologists can h

OK, it may not be an appropriate metaphor for science purists but it is extremely useful to have links to all APIs in one place, grouped visually by topics. I had enough trouble keeping up with the myriad APIs that Google provides and wasn'

Has anybody written any software to allow an iPod/iPhone as a general purpose input device for a mac? (I'm aware of things like using them as controls for specific games e.g. Chopper 2) Would this be useful or practical?

A quick correction/clarification on the above technique for anybody wondering how this works from my poor explanation. - I should not have written 'sub-classing'; this technique works by actually extending an existing class (Objective C all

Another fairly easy way to do this kind of thing is to use the DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES variable. You can reverse engineer the classnames with class-dump, subclass a class and override a suitable function e.g. IsLicenseValid() to just return t

I like your mistake better than the original intention (and I thought it was a deliberate and witty pun). I think it captures the spirit of problem nicely :-)

Damn, well caught. I normally check the dates but didn't notice this was already a year old. Sorry for the old dupe. Wonder if it's now actually available anywhere. The description of this stuff is almost unbelievable and I wonder if they h
