Top 21 PHP progamming mistakes - Part I: Seven Textbook Mistakes
One of PHP's greatest strengths happens to be one of its greatest weaknesses as well: PHP is easy to learn. A lot of people are attracted to the language because of this, not realizing that it's a lot tougher to learn how to do it right. There just hasn't been enough emphasis on good programming practice. Inexperienced coders are being asked to create and distribute complex web applications. Mistakes that an experienced programmer would avoid are all over the place, such as the improper use of the printf()functions or the misapplication of PHP's semantics.
Using Perl in PostgreSQL
there is another way of using Perl with PostgreSQL--writing little Perl programs that actually execute inside of the server. This way of using Perl is less well known than using the DBI driver, and is, as far as I know, unique to PostgreSQL. It lets you do some very cool things that you just can't do in the client.
INTERVIEW: Volunteers helped turn IMDb into big business
When Col Needham was 14, he was developing gaming software. At 23, he created the Internet Movie Database. That was 15 years ago. ADVERTISEMENT Better known now as IMDb.com, the site started as a simple Usenet group for movie fans. Needham made the site searchable in 1990. He quit his day job in 1995 to focus full time on IMDb and sold the company to Amazon.com in 1998.
Students say religion research hampered by school's Web filter
"We have access to sites on Christianity, Judaism and Islam, but not a lot of the smaller religions, or the various cults and things," said Robinson, who is a member of the Pine View Progressive Club. "We find that the filter picks on some of these nontraditional religions are arbitrary."
[Ed.- Poo, students don't need free speech rights or unfettered access to information anymore than adults do. Someday the entire world will come under the Dept. of Homeloon Defense, the RIAA, and the DMCA, and then we'll all be happy. -tuxchick]
Gallery of Computation
I write computer programs to create graphic images. With an algorithmic goal in mind, I manipulate the work by finely crafting the semantics of each program. Specific results are pursued, although occasionally surprising discoveries are made.
[Ed.- Fascinating, beautiful images.- tuxchick]
SAP man says he really really loves Open Source
From the get-your-story-straight before you speak dept.:
A SUIT from German CRM software outfit SAP has lit out against journalists and claimed they’ve wrenched his remarks out of context.
Spam from Iraq
In the middle of 2003, Iraqi themes began to surface in new renditions of the typical Nigerian advance-fee fraud or "419" scam spam...junk emailers are often born out of an amalgam of technical skill and economic hardship. Iraq's certainly got a lot of both of those elements right now.
Blogs, Customers & Sony's Rootkit
But you see, they think we are all pirates. Sony is absolutely not unique in that attitude, nor is the problem only in the music industry. Apple has just applied for a patent for "tamper resistant code" -- the very title is wildly offensive -- and if you put that thought together with Sony's system for what they call "sterile burning," well, you have seen the future these paranoid loons would like to arrange for us.

Stolen Computer Has Credit Data for 3,600
A desktop computer stolen last month from one of the nation's three major credit bureaus contained Social Security numbers and other credit information for as many as 3,600 people, the company confirmed Friday.
Taking Linux On The Road With Ubuntu
The Ubuntu H2 Micro USB Drive is a pretty interesting product idea. Bundling a tiny storage device with a fully-featured open source operating system enables the user to take a system installation, all its settings and applications, and a limited amount of data with him.
[Ed.- OK, I know I keep ranting about Ubuntu everywhere- but this is very interesting and kewl.]
High-performance Linux clustering, Part 1 and 2
This two-part article introduces the concepts of High Performance Computing (HPC) with Linux cluster technology and shows you how to set up clusters and write parallel programs. This part introduces the different types of clusters, uses of clusters, some fundamentals of HPC, the role of Linux, and the reasons for the growth of clustering technology. Part 2 covers parallel algorithms, how to write parallel programs, how to set up clusters, and cluster benchmarking.
FBI Hunkered in The Bunker
Imagine this on your plate every morning: terrorist cyber attacks, malicious coders, online sexual predators, phishers, pirates, spammers and scammers.
On the other hand, imagine you have this going for you: the best the world's only super power can give you in personnel, intelligence, hardware and software with cost overruns no problem.
Meet Steve Martinez, cyber G-man.
Linux-Vserver on Debian Sarge
Linux-VServer allows you to create virtual private servers and security contexts which operate like a normal Linux server, but allow many independent servers to be run simultaneously in one box at full speed. All services, such as ssh, mail, Web, and databases, can be started on such a VPS, without modification, just like on any real server. Each virtual server has its own user account database and root password and doesn't interfere with other virtual servers
Senior citizen bloggers defy stereotypes
Web logs, more often the domain of alienated adolescents and middle-aged pundits, are gaining a foothold as a new leisure-time option for senior citizens.
There's Dad's Tomato Garden Journal, Dogwalk Musings, and, of course, the Oldest Living Blogger.

Installing a Linux-2.6.14+initrd on Sarge (nodevfs anymore)
Until recently I used the default 2.6.8 kernel included into Sarge. When I tryed to install a vanilla 2.6.14 kernel I faced the "no devfs" problem. It's not that I forgot to turn on "devfs": "devfs" in not part of the Linux kernel anymore. The "udev" subsystem replace "devfs" and it's easy to install it into Sarge.
Automate Linux with cfengine
As your Linux/Unix network grows, you're probably going to get tired of running around to individual machines to do updates and fixes, unless it's part of your fitness program. My ideal sysadmin scenario is rather like Dr. Evil's submarine lair: lounge about with a cat on my lap, occasionally pushing a button. Only I have no grand ambitions to conquer the world; I just don't like doing my modest chores the hard way. Cfengine (Configuration engine) is just the tool for streamlining hardworking system and network administrator's lives...Cfengine has two primary uses: Pushing out changes to all hosts on a network, regardless of operating system or hardware configuration. Automatically keeping all systems in a correct, stable state.
Insider Threats Giving IT Execs Nightmares
A network engineer at a Kansas City company says he's just as worried about threats to his company's network coming from inside the corporate walls than he is about any hacker busting through the perimeter.
[Ed.- Just like any business- the greatest security threats come from within, despite what corporate PR and Hollywood want you to believe.]
