Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux... want to try it ??? Knoppix is really nice. And easy. Download, burn, reboot. Et voila, Linux is running...
php comes shipped with two features enabled by default that make unsuspicious looking source execute arbitrary code:
- variables passed from the browser are stored in global context
- file-system functions work transparent on URLs
FName = "Bugs" LName = "Bunny" FLName = FName + " " + LName print FULNamefails with Traceback (innermost last): File "test.py", line 4, in ? print FULName
use strict; my $FName="Bugs";my $LName="Bunny";my $FLName="$LName, $FName"; print "Your name is $FULName ";fails with Global symbol "$FULName" requires explicit package name at test.pl line 8.
<?php $FName="Bugs";$LName="Bunny"; $FLName="$LName, $FName"; echo "Your name is $FULName "; ?>works perfectly. If I use error_reporting
<?php error_reporting(E_ALL); $FName="Bugs";$LName="Bunny"; $FLName="$LName, $FName"; echo "Your name is $FULName "; ?>it produces: Warning: Undefined variable: FULName in d:\www\test.php3 on line 5
Mais il y a pire : linformation nest plus le monopole de la presse et des journalistes. Tout un chacun peut désormais, pour une dépense dérisoire, éditer sur lInternet son propre webzine, magazine virtuel réalisé en amateur et parfois pas toujours dune grande richesse en information. Du coup, voilà notre cyberjournaliste saisi par le spleen : si nimporte qui peut sinstituer journaliste parce quil édite une page personnelle sur le web, que reste-t-il aux journalistes, aux vrais, ceux qui travaillent pour la presse labellisée ?
Peut-être, tout simplement, à se battre pour leur raison dêtre : apporter au public une information rigoureuse, vérifiée, inédite, avec des analyses intéressantes. Rien, sinon leur qualité, ne garantira aux sites de presse leur fréquentationpar le public. La stimulation engendrée par cette concurrence extra-professionnelle devrait savérer un puissant aiguillon. Car sur la Toile, plus quailleurs, le lecteur/internaute se comporte en consommateur exigeant et compare loffre qui lui est présentée.
Web component implements co-browsing. You can open a session within this application, start your web surfing and everybody who is running the same servlet and is joined to the same session will see your pages. So, how does it work ? Run the servlet. On the main screen you can create some session (channel, presentation). Just type the name for new session. As soon as you do that, everybody who is running the same servlet will be able to join this session (channel). They need choose session from the list of opened sessions and type own nick name (for real-time chat). (License: unclear)

So yeah, I'd pay. But only if it were really cheap. Once it costs more than my time is worth, I wouldn't pay. (full msg...)
Blogger doesn't do everything I'd like, but it is 90% there. There's a few features I'd like to see. It throws odd errors sometimes. Occasionally it my archives disappear and I have to republish them. But I've never once complained about it. I suppose that's because it's free. (...)To pay, or not to pay ? - some notes from ye olde consultants perspective
The basic truth: subscriptions are always a tough (and marketingwise expensive) sell.the competitive landscape
- the complete newbie: highly unlikely, unless there's some peer pressure (the $100 Nike or $25 WalMart sneakers question?).
- your average user: depends on the frequency of use, quality of toolset, competitive landscape (look at the Bertelsmann-Napster deal; their basic idea: take 50 million freebie users, add some nice features like QOS, and hopefully you'll end up with 2 million+ paying subscribers).
- some tech skills: might anyway start dabbling with open source scripts (depending on the available toolsets).
- any free or cheaper services/approaches available?
- any better/easier services/approaches available than the one I'm using?
