FWIW: We had an older version of timthumb which uses preg_match instead of strpos, but suffers from the same flaw. The relevant line looks like this: if (preg_match($site, $url_info['host']) == true) { Good catch, Mark.

I bought a Nexus S at the shop across the street from me. The price was the same as I could find online, but I paid an extra $40 in sales tax (NC). I don't mind paying sales tax (I do enjoy having police, firemen, and teachers) but let's be

I jumped into Android development about a month ago, and after a slow start its really been fun. I hated Eclipse at first, but it gets a lot better with time. The emulator though - don't bother. The author is not exaggerating about several

That was a bit different. In the US, you basically can't provide online services like Gmail to anyone < 13 years old. When the kid created his Gmail account he must have lied about his birthday (or they wouldn't have let him signup). Th

I strongly object to your characterization of black men. I've played pick-up and organized basketball with people of all races for > 15 years and this has not been my experience. Honestly, it sounds like you don't play basketball, and c

FWIW, this is WordPress' default behavior if you use the [gallery] shortcode to display all images attached to a post. That said, I strongly dislike it as well, and I think they should change it.

Couldn't they just notice both sites are identical, and one has way more authority? Doesn't seem that hard to me, compared to the other tasks they do.

Its fairly easy to fake PageRank via cloaking. You basically just redirect the Google toolbar queries to the real domain. Of course you're not actually fooling Google - just people using their toolbar or similar tools to check PageRank. Tha

Honestly, I would buy the .com and just move on. There's not much you can do except protect yourself going forward. If you own your domain you can always pick up and move to a new host. For what its worth, people will probably search for yo

MS maintains that Linux kernel violates its patents, and sues anyone who makes enough money with a product using Linux (e.g., TomTom [1]). MS likes to refer to "235 patents" that Linux allegedly violates, but they aren't forthcoming with w

RH is awesome. We eventually switched to Unfuddle for the time tracking, but Repository Hosting is still one of the best deals available, IMHO.

As is clear from the Amazon statement, they are not against sales taxes in principle and would agree to pay one if it were uniform As lsc pointed out above, that's not the case at all. Amazon is refusing to collect taxes on behalf of it

For context on what the OP means by "this makes the document structure completely flat to screen reader users", I highly recommend this video. It features a blind web developer navigating websites which do and do not make proper use of head

It seems his main point is this: Google Offers pays merchants faster (80% of the money goes to the merchant right away, vs 33% with Groupon). The OP expects this will force Groupon to make the same deal with merchants, which will change the

I'm on the other end (hire folks remotely). New folks are impossible to hire because there's no way to judge how much you do in an hour. If people have past projects I can see: "they built X app for Y price." But if you're new, all I see is

My Dad donated a kidney a few years back, and the hospital (UNC) made him undergo nearly a year of psych evals before they would do the surgery. At the time it seemed excessive, today I'm thankful for their caution.

My money is on empty threat too. If he had a real case, he'd have "come harder" than he did (i.e., you'd have gotten a letter from an attorney, at least) Best of luck, bud. Don't let it distract you too much. :)

I think it counts as "blackhat", but I'm not really outraged. To me, its equivalent to cruising the singles section of Craigslist and responding as a sock puppet recommending a particular dating site. Not a huge deal, but its not 100% above

I've been EOMing for about 2 years. Its a great tip, I recommend it. No, I don't think most people have seen it before, but they seem to figure it out and several of my clients have adopted the habit. No one has been annoyed, or confused. G

You should really say something to your husband about how that makes you feel. If he's a good person and loves you, which I'm sure he is/does, he certainly would not want to make you feel that way. I've acted terribly towards women I loved,

I had the same (incorrect) assumption. Emails would definitely be more useful. That said, via the Facebook API a user can give your app permission to access their own email, but they (thankfully) cannot give your app permission to access th

This is awesome. One thing I'd add is a note about front-page.php vs. home.php - to me, that's the most unintuitive part of WordPress themes. If you're setup like a blog, i.e., list of posts on the homepage, than home.php is the root page o

For Firefox, there's FlashBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/ which I can attest works wonderfully. For Chrome, I believe there's a version of FlashBlock, and for Safari, www.clicktoflash.com looks good (I ha

This is Fred Wilson / Union Square Ventures, not Charles River, but your point stands. That said, I don't agree. Sure its possible, but Google is going to jeopardize its entire business to see what Fred Wilson is emailing his partners? Yeah
