For example, comments (the first and only type available for writing in API version 2.1) have the following throttle behavior:
Users must have comment everywhere.
Users must have at least 50 reputation.
Users start off with 3 writes a day.
Each additional 25 reputation grants an additional write.
Comment writes can only occur once every 5 seconds.
To be able to create subdomains, you'll have to make sure of several things:
DNS
So other's can reach test.my.address.com, they first have to be able to resolve that name to the IP address of your virtual machine. How can that be done?

@Ell a single PCB for interfacing will be cheaper and easier to fit into an enclosure than a normal drive + an interface PCB, less annoying cables and connectors to deal with
I'm ploughing back some of my rep into the community, and hopefully getting some good/better answers up for questions. I really wouldn't be able to chase down all the worthy candidates for such a thing, so I'd like people to suggest questions that might do with a bounty.
Post the questions you t...
Dumb word question, I want the right pages to be full of text and left pages to be full of pics, must I add this in Word or is it based on how I print ?
I haven't seen a printer driver in the last 6 years or so that doesn't have a duplex mode...
Of course, the majority of them just print alternating pages and ask you to manually flip them, but the flip instructions are much easier than trying to figure out the direction yourself :P
Any system can be the victim of malware. For example, the technological difference between e.g. your friendly desktop search indexer and a malware syphoning of your private data is negligible.
That said, there has been no (well-known) malware so far for OS X that:

@DanielBeck Sounds reasonable, though to be honest most malware these days exploit the person rather than the computer, even on Windows. I wouldn't go so far as saying Macs never get the plug in a memory stick and you're infected type viruses, but they do seem a lot less common
Social attacks do seem to be the most prominent, which is at least one good reason to have antivirus, even on a Mac. I'd rather have it protect me from the most outrageous stupids on my part than me happily mistakenly install a trojan. Not that I would...
@DanielBeck Ah, that was the one you mentioned. wasn't sure, just Googled and found it.
@Mokubai You're protected from most social attacks out of the box as of Wednesday (OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion). Of course, it annoys the hell out of power users...
@soandos Gatekeeper only allows downloaded software to be run when digitally signed by a developer registered (i.e. using dollars) with Apple, and whose signature hasn't been revoked.
Regarding your comment in your answer about the antimalware detecting behaviour of a program I have actually seen this repeatedly happening on a particular machine. I had one keep detecting and blocking a game updater, problem was that it was all legit and it was regularly updating, like 2-3 times a month...
Each time "yes, it's fine... honest... no, don't delete it... no, don't quarantine it either... yes I do still want to run it..."
@Mokubai It's an external RAID box. The controller suddenly started thinking it's RAID0 with an unformatted partition. I didn't let it format so I'm hoping the data is safe on at least one of the disks.
