This is a fantastic anecodote and after the year we've had I'm finding the challenges people are having from entering Linux are becoming less and less. Earlier today I marvelled at running a game through Steam whilst listening to

I recently bought a new laptop and dual boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu 13.04. It took me 3 hours to get all the drivers working in Windows whilst the only issue I had with Ubuntu was the fact my video card drivers (ofcourse, Nvidia) were going t

Locks and Alarms are the lowest common denominator of security - it stops people from walking in but more than anything just gives an illusion of security.

Congratulations to the guys at Pin! As an Australian, I welcome this wholeheartedly. It has been extremely frustrating watching the payment revolution in the states, whilst at home there is next to no alternative to getting a merchants faci

I remember early on in my web development career to make sure you are selling a service not a product. You aern't building a website - you are providing a marketing service, requiring expert advice and a component of that service is buildin

If you place rate limiting on email accounts by default and then for the lower percent of users that need a higher rate do it on a case-by-case basis. In my experience most users that fall victim to these types of phishing attacks do not ne

What exactly makes it impractical to do powerful things? You may have disdain for certain language features but I don't understand how that makes it impractical. Most of the tech demo's we're seeing coming out of the JS crowd are from peopl

I would consider that a contradictory statement. In order to provide the best range of browser support it is usually necessary to not code to web standards to support older browsers (that do not support latest web standards) or to support n

We're not necessarily talking about "experienced" developers. I know plenty of people who have set up their own self-hosted WordPress instances for their personal blogs who don't know how to how to self-manage a VPS. Keep in mind not everyo

PHP has a much larger install base on commercial web hosts than Ruby, so I would consider it a perfect tool for a self-hosted application. Also keep in mind PHP5 is not the same relic of the past that people constantly bitch about.

Whilst using CSS pseudo elements to generate shapes is useful, I believe it's ill suited to iconography when the better solution is to use a custom web font. We've had a lot of success here recently, being able to create cross-platform, vec

I think you've misunderstood the post. There are jobs available to work on "big things" and there are jobs to work on "small things". Job advertising provides a really nice set of domain specific data to work out why people are more likely

As a Windows to Linux convert for the past 5 years I actually enjoyed this parody due to some of the points he brought up that make me facepalm every time I use Windows. I don't know how many times I've cursed Microsoft over not recognising
