Re: Unique usernames?
I honestly never knew this. It works perfectly. Thank you.

I'm a director a small (<10 people) scientific company and we are currently recruiting. I'm certain the policies I have in place mean we will get the best applicant for the job. I'm also bliddy sure google et al have pretty good policies in place to hire the best person presented to them.
If* people think that having a workforce which statistically matches the general population then work needs to be put into sorting stereotypes right at the start of schooling. Remove the idea that girls don't *do* STEM / IT so that the distribution of 'good enough' candidates that hits the hiring managers desk is more diverse. Only then will companies have something to answer for numbers such as those reported here.
Before this story I hadn't even [looked at / thought about] the gender split of my interview shortlist because it is irrelevent (it's 5:3 F:M BTW).
* why is it more benifical for my business to aspire to sync my staff demographics to that of the public than it is to just hire the best people? If I currently had 6 men on the books and the best candidate was also a male, where is the advantage overlooking the man and hiring the next best candidate that happens to have a fufu?
I've been using https://appear.in for ages for my professional multiple person VCs.
it works on Win7 / ubuntu laptops with both chrome and FF and chrome for android flawlessly. (this is not exhaustive, just all the configs I know people have used hassle free)

delivery was longer than expected - should have been 10 day DHL, but they took 2 days to process the order and ship - and then it took 15 days to appear - so almost 3 weeks.
Still, absolutely worth it. 30 hours battery life and stunning piece of kit.
I look after the my company's email newsletter. Address come from self sign ups or prior business relationship only.
We include a *single* click unsub link which does exactly that.
This does catch us out now and again, as one company recently started inspecting links in emails at gateway via trend micro, and as a result the last mailshot we sent out unsubbed everyone in that domain.
We still decided it was better to keep the single click unsub link rather than make it harder for the user.
I guess we are in the 0.1% that arn't gits
I challenged one small ecommerce website that sent me username/password in plain text after signup - accusing them of not even hashing, let alone salting my password as it should be lost to them after registration.
I got a reply stating he'd looked at the registration script which did salt and hash prior to storage but used the original input whilst generating the confirmation email. He thanked me for raising the issue as he wasn't aware the script sent the password back out via plain text.
I created a second account a week later - no password in the confirmation email. So there are some people doing it right.
my website uses htaccess to nicely handle 404s - and a little code ont he 404 page emails me if one is generated. This is so if I put up a bad link I'll know pretty quick.
But recently, whenever a 404 occurs I immediately get another alert for the same non-existent page - always from the same IP.
I'm really curious to know how this other 404 source is getting the information to try the non-existent address that someone else mistyped?
Any thoughts as to how, or, just as usefully, where else I can ask this question?
I've replicated this behaviour by navigating to random non-existent URIs from firefox 27 in safemode (linux), chrome33 with disable-extentions (linux) and android chrome (wifi / mobile data) so pretty sure it's not anything nasty on my side. I've grabbed the current 404 code from the site and there isnt anything in there either.
website says serial is wrong when I try to submit the form, despite the ajax code detecting the serial I enter as being a eeppad / nexus 7 and propulating some of the form for me.
A bit of searching suggest the 16 digit hexadecimal code from the tablet menus is a CSSN, not a SSN which is required by ASUS and is on the sticker on the box.
I tried the CSN and it worked first time. The first 6 characters are letters - the 0 and O on the font used is very difficult to see a difference
to counter this - the screen on my wildfire S stop responding to touch. A call to customer support went through a soft, then hard reset, then a UPS collection from my work and delivery of the fixed phone 4 days later to my home.
One of the best customer service departments I've ever dealt with.
my son likes Mint11 over Lucid due to the default colors - fine as reasons go if you are 11yo. My daughter prefers gnome3 so is on ubuntu 11.11 but will be the first to switch to Mint12 as the house guinea pig. My netbook will get Mint12 shortly after but desktop is staying at Lucid until LTS runs out.
and nice HTC android phone
The phone does everything I need on the go and the FS does the same when I'm not - either at home trying to occupy myself with some video off the NAS drive whilst trying to avoid Eastenders/Corry/Farm thing that t'wife has on in the background or at uni when I need a light device for note taking in the cloud.
There are definitely weirdos out there that not only have use for a phone and FS but also choose not to buy fruit flavoured versions
and I think that says it all. I have unity on my small screened netbook and it fits a purpose. my desktop is gnome 2.
when my 10 and 11 year old kids saw unity they nagged me until i gave in to put it on each of their laptops and desktops - it's an interface they are used to coming from playing on their bliddy phones all the time and they like it. They don't need to be particularly productive.
horses for courses i suppose.
