Ran into one of these about a month ago. I was working with some sketch PHP that was resulting in a seg fault, when I attached xdebug and stepped through the code, it ran fine.

Every so often I have to do some minor maintenance work on a GoDaddy account, I can't stand their interface.

I may have said it elsewhere, but I'm a big fan of DirectNIC even though they are double GoDaddy's price. There interfaces are really clean, and any time I've transferred or sold a domain it has been an absolute breeze. And back in the day, when all the major registrars were shutting down their web-based WHOIS tools (NetSol et al), DirectNIC always kept their WHOIS tool open which always bought them a lot of good will in my book. (I wasn't aware of command line tools like 'whois' and 'nslookup' yet...)

I just set up redmine about 2 months ago, and I'm loving it. Recently got my SVN linked up and now I can cross reference commits with issues in the tracker.

Getting the same thing on Google Chrome 12 on Ubuntu 9.04.

I kind of like hiding the points for active threads, maybe after 24 hours it could show the points. This would be helpful when

I used readability on this link. It actually dropped the 'Epilogue' on this one which left me scratching my head for a couple seconds before I backed out. But readability is incredibly handy on almost every ugly/noisy content page, it's one of the few tools I use every day.

I didn't know Safari had a "Reader" button (I usually stick to FF/Chrome), out of curiosity do you know who implemented the idea first?

I'm sure you could pick up quite a few bitcoins with it.

This was an excellent explanation, and it's a really brilliant idea. And the fact that it already has an impressive perceived value (parity with USD), I would totally accept it as a form of payment. It will be interesting to see what this does over time.

Honestly I don't mind keeping FB as a Rolodex of people I may only tangentially know, but I don't necessarily want to know what they had for breakfast. Hiding totally solved this problem for me too.

1+5+4 = 10 (even digit sum)

For small values of X < 10

11X = X+X, 2X always even

For slightly larger values of X, where 11X < 200

11x10 = 110, (starts out even)

11x11 = 121, (both of the first two digits increment by one, flipping even or odd ... in unison)

11x18 = 198, (only two signs will flip until we increment the 100s place, when that happens we will reverse three signs instead of two)

11x19 = 209, (now, three instead of two flip, and our sum comes up odd for the first time, 2+0+9=11)

I'm running Ubuntu on my development machine, and I really enjoy VIM keybindings. I had a lot of trouble getting the key bindings to work in Eclipse, but jVi worked like a charm in NetBeans for me. (Needed a rich IDE for some Magento dev. Sometimes to make a 2-line change properly in the core involves making 3 dirs, 2 XML files, 1 php file. le sigh)

Given the misspellings/mispronounciations/miscommunications already inherit in the name, I think they should re-brand as something like: Disápora ... (or some other spelling of a similar phonetic ilk)

* I say this because every time I've tried to describe it verbally, I always end up saying something like 'disapora' and making a hand-wavey gesture in a direction "away" from 'facebook'
