This would have been a good opportunity to educate the public about APT. Mikko's argument is essentially that this was an APT attack, which is by definition unstoppable. A more productive way to take this essay is how to detect and close br

Yes, the corner market thing you said is true. But, they were limiting. Us Americans are used to our bigger stores, specialty stores, and more choices. It'd be hard for most Americans to adapt to that. But, it's still not easy handling smal

Why would anyone want to vote to spend money on anything that will be a net loss? Subsidizing public transportation is an economic drain on society. The correct answer is to have self-sustaining, profitable public transportation. This can o

It's easy. I love the city, but I currently live in suburban hell because: - My kids can go to a better school. A much, much better school. - I can't fit my family in the size apartment I could afford if we lived downtown. - Letting my kids

Portland is a poor example. I love Portland, by the way, but we're essentially talking about economics here, and Portland is skewed. In Portland, you have people that want to live this lifestyle. They don't want the burden of the car, they

He's generalizing, of course, but it's because in the US, the suburbs incorporate into their own cities, and keep the taxes for themselves. Meanwhile, they commute into a city on a freeway paid for by the urbanites and enjoy all the benefit

I'm a customer of yours. Out of curiosity, what mailing lists do you participate in?

Agreed. I used to support a java web app and constantly had had issues with the OS X / Safari combo. Sometimes the browser couldn't find the binaries even though it was installed, but you couldn't reinstall or reinitialize it in any way. I

I prefer text email in theory. It's cleaner, simpler. Text for messages, that's how the web was meant to work, right? I also cringe when I purple text in Comic Sans, as well as other unmentionables. Yet, when I want to emphasize something,

WP does already own it though. With its momentum and swath of plugins, it will continue to own at least the self-hosted blog. The reason it should branch out into being a fully-fledged CMS is exactly as the author describes: usability. It's

Don't get me wrong, I love WordPress. And I can't stand Joomla. But Joomla works completely off relative URL's so it doesn't have to know it's location. The links work no matter what domain you put it on. You can access the CMS through exam

I've seen this page before but actually thought it to be fairly basic. What about topics such as moving wp-config.php outside of public_html, renaming the wp-admin folder, and automattic's position on some of the various 3rd-party security

Check with your local AIGA chapter. The very best designers are usually affiliated with the AIGA. You could also call up a print shop. They know plenty of print designers, though to be fair they're not always up on web design.
