    Team Task Tracking

    Have a new team now that is spread out geographically and am looking for something to manage our workflow.  I know people ask about these things periodically and yes, I did search, but the landscape for these tools changes every few months. Details: - we're admins, so I'm not tracking...

    Any Trekkies on here? The Star Trek Beyond - Trailer is out!

    I'm a Trekker rather than a Star Wars fan, which is why I hope JJ Abrams' private plane crashes and we go back to making Star Trek movies instead of Star Wars movies using Star Trek props. Much more interested in the upcoming TV show than another lame JJA action movie.

    Leaked document shows that Comcast's 300GB data cap has nothing to do with network congestion

    I just checked and from Nov 1 to Nov 8 I used 204GB of data.  Is that 204 up or down?  My CrashPlan, Dropbox, etc. runs 24x7, plus I download from my seedbox, Netflix/Amazon... $30 uncap fee here I come. Portland keeps being mentioned as a Google Fiber city Real Soon Now...

    The Confederate battle flag.

    Um, that "group of people" is by your own numbers 8,000,000 people and you paint them with one broad brush: "Sounds identical to what one nation state says routinely in this very day about Goyim, that is every other race and human other than their "chosen" people. Yet for all this abundant...

    The gun thread

    They ain't cheap.  Current cost is $225 initiation and $170 a year.  Which, initiation aside, isn't that bad really - about $15 a month for unlimited use and you can add a spouse for $35, take guests, etc.

    The Confederate battle flag.

    "A subject that has eluded most of us in Higher Learning Institutions." Translation: crackpot.

    Keep Track of Your Services! (Lightweight PHP script)

    And beyond that, you should always use prepared statements/bind variables in any environment. Beyond security, they are more performant. For small projects you won't see a difference but for bigger things, you save DB hard parses. In other words, if you constantly send SELECT FROM...

    The Confederate battle flag.

    Just when I think you're reasonable you veer off into crazy anti-Semitism. WTF? Have you ever met a Jew or known an Israeli? You seem to have very paranoid, Protocols of the Elders of Zion-level conspiracy theories about them. The cultural views of the Jews I know (both thoroughly Americanized...

    The gun thread

    I can barely see targets at 300 yards. My best scope I have is a Leupold Mark 4 LR-T which is a 3x-9x.  Cranked to 9x, I'm fine at 200 but 300 is a bit tough.  The biggest thing I shoot is 168gr .308 (almost like it's my favorite round and is part of my forum nickname or something) which is...

    Gay marriage (finally) legalized in the US

    On a related note, there was a case here in Oregon where a bakery refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.  They were in a jurisdiction with an anti-discrimination law (I forget if it was local or state) and so the couple sued and won $250,000 or something outrageous like that.  I say...

    The Confederate battle flag.

    You can thank "Roots" for the modern view of slavery.  The scene in that movie is poor LeVar Burton walking through the jungle when men with ropes set upon him... This did happen in small cases but the vast majority of slaves sold in Africa were Tribal Chief #1 defeating Tribal Chief #2 and...

    VPS crashes every few day, really can't pin down the reason.

    What exactly does "crash" mean in this context?   Is there any thing in /var/log files? If it's not OvZ, does dmesg tell you anything? Or does it just become nonresponsive because CPU usage is so high?  A top from when that is happening would be more informative than a retrospective chart.

    Gay marriage (finally) legalized in the US

    One could argue that the US flag represents the genocide and subjugation of the native American populations. I play Panzer Corps on my iPad.  As a WWII game, not surprisingly, there are plenty of Nazi flags in it.  And there are certainly WWII apps with Imperial Japanese flags. I'm pretty sure...

    Gay marriage (finally) legalized in the US

    That's not true. The idea that religion/culture/state/law were to be separate spheres is very new in human thinking - not more than a couple hundred years. While marriage stretches back to antiquity, there are numerous ancient cultures (particularly in Western civ, which is where we're talking...

    Back off, you cheap hussy.  @Francisco wants me. (And besides, he's Canadian).

    Roundcube Next

    Remember when Linus Torvalds announced he was writing a free, Unix-like OS, but first he wanted to be paid $100,000 from a crowdfunding campaign? Me neither. This new trend of "we are passionate about writing this free software...as long as we get a nice check up front" is really obnoxious...

    WebHostingTalk Worst of the Hosting Industry

    My data is a year old or so but in 2014 it was $150 in Reseller and $200 in shared hosting.  $600 for VPS and $1000 for dedicated. And those are weekly rates. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7993889/forum/1%20WHT%20Pricing%20Doc%20%2811%29.doc
