    how accurately does "google analytics" track your traffic?

    There's also Piwik, which is essentially a free software equivalent to Google Analytics, which shares the same disadvantages in that anyone with javascript turned off (e.g. me) isn't detected (although it could potentially be modified to allow tracking of those without javascript), whereas the...

    Mail not working on chopin!!!!!!

    http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=74.63.233.26 states that the server has been blacklisted because of infection by a spam bot. I wouldn't be surprised if the admins have therefore disabled mail on chopin to solve the problem (and haven't told us to avoid embarassment and chaos with panicked...

    Mail not working on chopin!!!!!!

    OK, does anyone know when email is going to be back up on chopin? I think it's been down for well over a day now.

    Mail not working on chopin!!!!!!

    In case anyone is wondering why email is down: exim (the mail transfer agent) on chopin is down, meaning most email functions are down (pop is still up though, explaining why you can access the mail already on the server). The question is: is this likely to be solved soon, since I have some...

    Good Uk domain registers

    I use 1and1 (UK) who seem reliable and trustworthy. You do however have to supply your phone number and address (I doubt there are any registrars that don't require this, but don't quote me on it). Those are required for your domain's whois entry (apart from .uk domains where it doesn't have to...

    Bigger link to server status page

    If you're using Firefox (possibly others?), you can even set a keyword, which you can then type in the address bar to directly go to the bookmark, ie. type in x10 to go to that page -- couldn't be any easier could it? I was just thinking it might be worthwhile having a popup stating the same...

    sFTP for Free accounts

    They are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ftp#Security I do agree with your first point that sniffing is unlikely (for a home network), albeit possible. If you are however on a proxy, TOR, or otherwise (possibly) unsecure connection, then it is possible, maybe even likely, that this could happen...

    Infected Pc's Won't Be Allowed On Facebook.

    So they want people to first install a bloatware OS in order to install a bloatware scanner, in order to use FB? I can almost imagine people's computers being marked infected on day 180, meaning they get locked out and need to pay for the scanner to be marked as safe again to get back onto FB...

    What will be the key in web development this year 2010

    - HTML 5 all the way. Look at things like Bespin for an example of what is possible. I doubt Microsoft is going to go anywhere near properly supporting html5 though. - PHP will also be going away slowly, but it won't be anything dramatic. It seems that Python (and django) is gaining some...

    Subdomain beginning with number no longer possible?

    It seems to be a problem specific to the cpanel installed on starka then, since it still won't let me create any subdomain beginning with a number. (It both says "That is not a valid subdomain." on the right hand side of the entry for a new subdomain, and complains about the same if I try to...

    Subdomain beginning with number no longer possible?

    Must have been October/November 2009.

    Subdomain beginning with number no longer possible?

    I previously had exactly the same subdomain, beginning with the same number. I was able to add the same subdomain as an addon domain, i.e. filling in the full adress, however cannot add it through the subdomain entry, even though I want it added as a simple subdomain. Since it's added as an...

    Subdomain beginning with number no longer possible?

    I'm having a problem with cpanel, which won't let me add a sudomain beginning with a number, i.e. I'm trying to add the sudomain "6ra" to my domain, but cpanel claims: "That is not a valid subdomain." I'd already made exactly the subdomain last year, but then removed it again. It worked fine...

    The best mobile operating system...

    Maybe Android, which is pretty good. Being able to write Java as the "native" code is both cool and useful, despite it using a different library, which doesn't however wonder me too much. Being completely open makes it much more useful than other OSs since I can then customise to the exact level...

    Why Opera is not So popular being the coolest browser?

    I don't see the point really (Wow? music streaming: no point since everyone uses spotify. Pictures: everyone uses FB. Files: hmm,maybe, but email and maybe MSN messenger and the like are standard here... Web hosting: Maybe, but no normal user would want to, and power users would use a real...

    Another site has took my video without my permission..

    The problem with that is that you then can't embed it on your own site. I'm not even sure you can actually restrict them from embedding the video at all -- depending on jurisdiction, it can be copyright infringement -- and it is supposedly against youtube policy (but that doesn't apply to them...

    Another site has took my video without my permission..

    Send them a kind email first (always act in good faith first) -- this is usually easiest. You say there are warnings in the video, so I doubt they have just made a mistake, but try it anyway, just contacting people is often effective. (Is the video actually hosted there, or just embedded?) If...

    48 core processor

    I doubt it will catch on though... Google use cheap commodity machines (read more in an article here) for a lot of their work (I've not seen cloud computing mentioned explicitly, but I doubt they would use much different a system there) because of their price to performance advantage, and the...

    Server Transfer

    Yes. Make sure you ping your X10 subdomain, since sometimes the server address points to a different IP than the IP which serves web content. I.e. on starka one IP runs starka.x10hosting.com, another IP serves all the actual web sites hosted on starka. Using the starka.x10hosting.com IP for an...
