That's why I stated "when needed". I thought I didn't have to explain it in more detail, but it seems I do. You obviously have an interest in these things and rightfully have issues with pure MP arguments. In this case you read something in

I can understand their choice of a tested technology, but I don't understand the bandwidth argument. Is the processor so underpowered that it couldn't crop the image when needed?

I use mailinator.com for most signups unless I'm sure I want to keep using the service. If I like it, I will change my email later (if possible). Unfortunately this site tried to be clever, so I had to use one of the alternative domains. I

I don't have much experience with Varnish, but it does support ESI, that is similar to SSI.

You're right. It was just a bit confusing to see it with no context. The service looks good. Hopefully they will add Redis at some point.

After signing up I got this text: Unlimited apps within 2GB RAM 10 each with 100 MB limit So it seems that each app can only use 100MB. It could be an example of course, but in that case they should make it more clear

I can see that using "Accept" can be considered a more elegant solution, I don't see how adding a parameter will break HTTP. There is nothing in the HTTP standard that says what an URL should or should not return. The Accept-header is jus

I agree. It was a known weakness in the system that had been discussed before the event. The change would have happened eventually. Breivik speeded the process, because he was such a clear example of someone you don't want back on the stree

Yet I've never seen someone offer to license the trademark to a violator. Licensing would probably push the case into another department and out of the lawyer's hands. I wouldn't be surprised if they act out of self interest and prefers t

I get that you don't have time to support all browsers, but you should at least allow users to try the app. I'm using Opera, but I have a suspicion that it will work well with your app

I didn't notice the problem until you mentioned it. For me it was obvious that it points up/down, but now that you mention it I see that it could point in other directions as well. I guess the question is: Do users get confused about the ar

Then you should have mentioned it. From the article it seems that you are talking specifically about PHP, when in reality that argument can be applied to many. I can only make my assumptions based on what I read. The lack of references to o

I stopped reading the blog article when I read the complaints around "private" and "static". The behavior is exactly what they were intended to. If he doesn't want that, he shouldn't use them. It also implies that he doesn't have much exper

I used 1.5 minutes, but I spent probably 30 seconds or more starting the text editor and opening a custom html document with the form values. It has to be said that I had already made tools for converting the two first challenges :-) I thin

In Norway you don't need to confirm the taxes at all. You get a simple tax form on a web page and if the information is correct you don't need to do anything. If you need to correct it you just update the form online.

From what I have read from other sources, the actual forms were not available. It was also not possible to perform any actions as this user. The users were sent to his profile page and was restricted to that page. The only sensitive informa

A correction to your list. C++ was created by Bjarne Stoustrup who is Danish. He was inspired by Simula - the world's first object oriented programming language (created by two Norwegians). It introduced objects, classes, subclasses, virtua

The transliteration of Å is usually "AA". In fact the "circle" above the A is really a lower case "a". It's just that as time passed, it "devolved" into a circle.

The market was different back then. There were a lot of choices, like PC-DOS, and even other computer systems like Mac, Atari, Amiga etc. MS-DOS itself did not give them a monopoly. It was an advantage of course, but not a "competition kill

Same here in Norway. I think most (all) European countries do the same. The only exception is if you are in another country. In that case the caller only pays as if the call was domestic, and the other has to pay the extra costs. The provid
