@Wil what a terrible blog post. It reads as a "me too, me too!" "Back in my day..." and "Well, since you didn't ask let me tell you, sonny." All at the same time.
@Tyler ... I couldn't agree more, I know it isn't "that" bad, but I just felt strongly that I had to write about a few of the points. I am not the best blogger/good at grammar, but hopefully I get the point across. It will be ready in (hopefully) under 5 minutes, please stay online!
Going to tweet the blog post now... its honestly how/what I feel about this site and question sites in general... just hope it doesn't blow back in my face!
... after all the effort, most likely only a handful of people will read it! The only page I have made which is really popular is the one about Apple SSL problem, I have had so many hits that just come in through Google to it! (so I am not the only one!)
I just had an accident and broke my MacBook's screen. It still works (there are no "dead" pixels), but I'm worried that some of the broken pieces might fall from the screen. Is there any product could I use to prevent that from happening?
I found what looks to be a valid formula, but I don't understand all the functions involved and (although it's probably not a huge issue) it doesn't appear to account for negative integers.
Sorry, I was busy configuring a new router for the home network.
Hopefully, I've gotten it down to just: 1.) Take network offline. 2.) Reconfigure existing gateway. 2a.) Disable WiFi 2b.) Set LAN to DHCP one /30 network, including only the old & new routers. 3.) Put new router between existing gateway and remainder of network. 4.) Configure new printer IP on client devices.
Oh, and of course... 5.) Bring clients back online.
All this so that, when the new ISP comes, all I have to do is: 1.) Plug new (pre-configured) router into new modem. 2.) Reboot or release/renew clients.
> It's impressive to me that when the great minds behind Experts Exchange make their voice known, they talk just like the kind of slimeballs you would expect behind such an operation. It's shameless. In their shoes, I'd just sit there quietly, take the snub on the chin, keep plying my spammy trade, and have enough introspection to realize that the reason no one wants to talk to me is because I've created one of the shittiest, most user-hostile content abominations in the history of the entire internet.
Is there a way to block specific sites from appearing in Google search ? I'm looking for a browser addon ( preferably Google Chrome) - I don't want to create custom search engines or what-not
And the difference is as well that the content of all SE sites is CC licensed, meaning that someone could just take one of the torrent dumps and set up a free mirror if the site displeases us
@studiohack exatly. I'd be happy to donate a bit like I have done for other foums and sites (as long as there's no sad looking, puppy-eyes jeff atwood banner along the top asking for donations, wikipedia style)
I like a lot of the older sci-fi authors... Robert Heinlein is a great author and his "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" has TANSTAAFL all the way through it.
I once answered a question that asked how Stack Overflow makes money, but that was before the time of VC.
Now, Stack Overflow has cash, and they have an ever-growing list of employees, but where's the business model?

Is it one of those generic reality tv dating shows? We had generic posh country bloke looking for wife a few years ago. Reality tv is one of the many reasons I don't watch TV anymore.
All I can suggest - go to incognito and see if it loads (can still post as anonymous) as it may be a addon... apart from that - yeah, firewall I guess!
@Mokubai (distraction...) Top Gear is fun but annoying (UK Version at least), I love it, watch it etc, but you can't believe a thing on tv... A race... they just happen to have a full camera crew in position at every turn! So staged!
@MatthewSteeples Agree, which is why I like it.... I just remember when my brother did something for the Disney channel, they recorded all day long (but hey, Mickey bought us lunch at a nice place!) for a 2 minute clip!!!
One thing I like about the possibility of using SQLite is that it potentially makes moving to a full SQL database a bit easier as all your queries are already done...
@IvoFlipse can you tell the dropbox app to sync folders to different places on your hard drive? so one DB folder to e:\somefolder and another to f:\someotherfolder?
I use dropbox and very happy with it.
The only drawback I have with it is that I must place the files I want to share in the My Dropbox folder.
Is there anyway I can place the files in another folder on my PC and automatically sync between dropbox folder and another folder on my local pc?
I was going to the new questions list to select the newest one, but I clicked the wrong one, then voted to close by a link I copied from here (the oldest) one. :D
It is possible, but it requires that you have a filesystem in NTFS format. You'll need an external tool, Link Shell Extension to make links and drop it as junctions.
So the steps are:
Install Link Shell Extension
Browse to any folder you’d like to link with My Dropbox. Right click on the folde...
I tried the "register expert" link, you need 10k for premium stuff and if you don't watch where you click you end up on the credit card page again, even if you press the back button of your browser... :D
The thing is with Java and .NET (Tabbles is written in F#) is that if you don't go for good obfuscation then it's pretty easy to see, call and modify the code as you can just read the source code or an intermediate transformed version of it. So basically, whenever they would release a new version I just call their serial functions again and immediately get a serial that I can fill in...
Their system does invalidate a keygen that works for a previous version as they insert checks incrementally, but it doesn't help if they don't obfuscate their code (I suggested, I hope they will do).
It's basically like, they give you a key AABBCC-DDEEFF-GGHHII-JJKKLL-MMNNOO or something like that. And first time only the first part is checked, second time some more is checked, and so on...
So if you write something that gets DDEEFF right and generate a key AABBCC-DDEEFF then it does work for the current version, but next version they suddenly check for GGHHII or something like that, keygen broken, quite nice...
And you even can take it that far like checked if MM comforms to AA DD, etc...
But well, now I have an official key too but haven't fully used the program yet, my data was so disorganized to easily tag various things. :D
Does anyone knows which are these systems that manages paid wifi networks and some hotels and airports?
Even better, would anyone know a open/free project that would do or could be adapted to that end?
The idea is simple, I want to let the network open at physical level so anyone can connect. A...
and (while we're on keyboard shortcuts) ctrl + enter should give you a new line above the line you're currently on and move on to that (again leaving the current line intact)

I use tape.
