    Server Virtualization

    Still not sure if I understand you... If a task can be parallelized effectively, then you should run it in parallel on one machine with full resources. Parallelizing by using virtualization will most certainly not improve performance. The overhead of the virtual environments takes it toll in...

    Program for forum or Website

    What forum software are you using? For vBulletin, my friend made a free alternative to vBSEO on vBorg, but I think it's outdated already. Try searching. But really, you should just buy vBSEO as it's the best maintained/supported option. Though as an aside: vB4, the next major release of...

    Java programmers need help

    public class Example { public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.print("Chroder \u00A3"); } } It's quite simple. The only "new" thing with printing unicode rather than a regular string is using the \u<hexcode> escape sequence. A quick google found that the hex codepoint for the...

    OSX Snow Leopard

    Ah, really -- what's worse? I don't use iChat so I don't know. The only negative I've encountered so far is that iStat Menus hasn't been updated yet. :( I miss having the calendar in the menu.

    OSX Snow Leopard

    Installed it yesterday. So far so good! The speed improvements alone are worth the $30.

    Do you all have names for you computer?

    My home computers are all named ambiguously; whatever strikes my fancy. EIN, Decoy, Excel etc. My servers hostnames are all signs of the zodiac.

    error log

    Not sure what is causing that. The "premature end of script headers" is probably caused by some error/bug with your PHP setup (Zend Optimizer for example is notorious for causing weird issues). You might try using mod_php with Apache instead of using PHP as CGI. mod_php is faster, anyway. You...

    error log

    What are the errors? Can you paste a few examples? You will often get lots of 404 type errors (for example, my site doesn't have a favicon so there are tons of 'favicon.ico not found'). Those kinds of errors aren't the kind that'll slow your site down. But others, like things about PHP going...

    iTunes to Mp3?

    There are a number of tools that'll "produce" a DRM-free version of songs. But the catch is they just play the song and record the output, and re-encode it. Basically they provide a quick, automated way of burning a CD and ripping it. The problem with this, of course, is that you loose some...

    What Web Browser Do You Use?

    You know how it is! Busy busy. One of my servers was compromised and I was going through a bunch of sites changing passwords just in case there was some info laying around with login details. CF was a site on my list ;) Thought I'd look around while I was here.

    What is your Internet Usage a Month

    My ISP advertises a 60GB limit. Once I get around 70GB they send out an email warning telling me I'm "approaching" the limit. I've gone over 100GB before and they never charged extra. I guess it's more of a guideline for them. Usually I try and stay within the ~60GB range. My parents would freak...

    What Web Browser Do You Use?

    Firefox! When I switched to Mac I started using Safari for day-to-day browsing. It's just so fast, and I'm an impatient person! Could never leave Firefox for web development, but Safari was always there when I wanted to surf. But with the release of Firefox 3, I switched back. I still think...

    Web Hosting??

    http://www.webhostingtalk.com They are the best place to find hosts. Before you purchase, make sure to search that forum for the name of the host and read any threads that come up. If anyone has any good/bad experiences, it will almost always be mentioned in a thread. A good host I've used in...

    iTunes...wtf?

    Make sure to burn it using iTunes itself. To do this, you just make a playlist and then click the Burn Disc icon when viewing the playlist. The songs you buy are DRM'ed AAC, if you burn it with say, Nero, I don't think it'll work.

    My cat used to like laying on top of my old CRT, I'm guessing because it was warm.
