To add to the other replies: from what I read at http://www.popehat.com/2013/04/02/prenda-laws-attorneys-take... : "In effect, the responsible lawyers for a law firm conducting litigation before a court have refused to explain that litiga

Thanks for the information. I guess I didn't really come out and say "I don't know how it works in other countries", but I imagine that it's the little things like that, maybe differences across all countries, that make this kind of thing r

To extend that: according to my understanding of a discussion I had with my cousin (a police officer in Australia), threats of a violent crime are recorded as a violent crime, as far as statistics are concerned there. That is to say, "I h

My ex was a member of a teacher's credit union. To log in you had to give the account number, the password and the user's last name. One day she told me she always had trouble remembering which way to log in... which seemed strange to me. A

The Bitcoin application / daemon can be controlled via RPC calls, so I presume that's how they do it.

Don't know if we can trust that link at the moment: it's showing the last trade as "an hour ago".

I'll just hope that if someone decides to go down that route, then at least one other person does too :)

That value might be correct, but I think what megablast is getting at is that the original hardware wasn't able to calculate the position of all of the invaders and still maintain the video frame rate. So even though it was intended to work

Clinical devices are an awesome idea for this... nice one! Having worked on systems in hospitals before, I couldn't believe the number of times users had to handrub etc. each time they went from handling our scanners back to the actual prod

Couldn't we dust off Lad Vampire and point it at spammed sites maybe?

I think Keepass2 requires Mono but if you're OK with installing that, then xdotools can be installed to autotype for you.

I hear ya. In fact, I got burned by that problem enough times to make a test for it in my PHPCS 'coding standard'... which is basically a handful of standards that look for my stupid, repeated, coding errors :)

Ain't that the truth. Watching PEI politics, for one, makes me think I'm back in high school again...

Thanks for the reply. I was pretty much thinking what you said, so that makes me more comfortable with the situation. Having said all of that, do you have any suggestions on the next step? Is emailing the administrative contact as per whois

That's fair. I have a similar thought process around other servers and sites that I have, so I can appreciate the need for fiddling. Funnily enough, I think the reason I went with Blogger (alongside not needing to worry too much about traff

If you're just blogging, is there a reason you want to do it all yourself? I just set up a Blogger account with a custom domain and let it be...

I guess when I read it I didn't think "hardware is free as in you'll be paying for a contract of service where the cost of that service includes the cost of the hardware". I mean, if we're to be able to redefine 'actual' costs like that, ma

I read once where Bill Gates predicted that eventually people would buy software and that the hardware would be free. I can't remember where I read it ('Business at the Speed of Light', maybe?) but it stuck with me as just, well, ridiculous

I think that's a downside to GMail / using Google Accounts... not really a downside to Google Now. Not saying it's not a problem, but just that it is a problem whether or not they aggregate that information for me .

I haven't really experienced much with it. Having said that, I don't have a busy life :) One day, however, my wife was traveling and the hotel reservation had been sent to my email address. Google Now had a card that said something along th

I don't know where you are, but believe it or not the competition between Eastlink and Bell Aliant FibreOp are making the market pretty good here in the Maritimes. I think, anyway. I pay $99/month for 50M/50M internet, phone and TV (with th

For what it's worth HeidiSQL runs just fine in Wine. There are a handful of small visual glitches but none big enough to bother me at least. Give it a go.

Heidi SQL was mentioned in passing in the article, but I wanted to "+1" it. Admittedly it's only MySQL (with some level of MSSQL support now... not sure what that level is) but I do like that it runs fine in Wine and it has a lovely 'find t

Wow. I know I'm not really adding anything to the conversation now, but I just wanted to thank you for opening my eyes to a world that I didn't know existed. So much information about something I didn't know was even a problem. Awesome. Tha

I hate to say it but after ridiculing that change in the design I actually realised that it would totally solve the problem that I have with some paperclips: if I pushed it right down to level the clip on a pack of papers, pulling the clip

PII means "Personally identifiable information", if that's what the confusion is?
