Nice looking - but not readable in IE6 on Windows, I guess it is not of much concern to you as it is a mac site, but I though you should know anyway.

Topic: Online bookmarks/favorites (8 replies, posted in General discussion)
I'm looking for a simple solution for syncing my bookmarks/favorites between different computers and browsers by storing them on a server. I would prefer an add-in that updates from the server automatically when the browser start. It should be able to handle that I might add new favorites when I'm offline.
What do you guys use?

Re: Blogs anyone? (72 replies, posted in General discussion)
Well it looks fine now, but something has been changed. This morning rickard.punbb.org showed a WordPress configuration screen, later, when I posted, it directed me to the main punbb.org site - are you sure you haven't been fiddling with the servers settings ?

It's not down, just a bit inactive.
Exactly what I told my girlfriend last night :-)
On a more serious note, I get the the PunBB site when visiting rickard.punbb.org, is that intentional?

Re: similar nicks (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
The hard part of avoiding similar nicks are checking for similar looking letters. An example would be the non-ascii 'C' used in the username of my evil twin ?odeDuck. The problem is making the look-up table, it is quite a bit of work considering the huge number of unicode chars. But if you are up for it I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate you work as it would make a lot harder to spoof identities.

Is that a required disclaimer for Microsoft employees?
Yes it is, and let me also point out that views expressed in this forum are mine and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer.

Re: Are they scared, or still trying to rip of the world? (29 replies, posted in General discussion)
zc923: If you want a real discussion, please be more specific to what you disagree with. If you actually read the white papers you will see that it is not all black and white. In the Forrester white paper it says: "Linux, and other open source software can provide big benefits to the organization, however, companies need to know what to expect, and plan appropriately to mitigate these concerns." So it is not a question of what is always the right choice; Linux or Windows, but rather when to choose what. And these studies shows that on average windows comes out on to more often than Linux. I would also like to point out that these are independent non-commissioned studies.
As to having a lot of people looking at the code to find flaws, I totally agree, the questions is; how many people are working fulltime on Linux? As part of the Trustworthy Computing initiative, Microsoft spent more than $200 million training more than 13,000 Windows Division employees on security-focused development techniques and new engineering process, resulting in a line-by-line security review of Windows Server 2003.

Re: Distribution of punBB with my software (19 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
As I read the GPL it would be legal as long as the portal is not built on or dependent of PunBB. An alternative would be release the portal under GPL too, this could make it harder to get people to pay for it though.

Re: Google AdSense (65 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Well, this particular page doesn't [validate] because of Dr. Jeckyl's signature:)
Maybe a signature validator and an "Allow only only XHTML-valid signatures" admin option would be appropriate :-)

Re: Licences (6 replies, posted in General discussion)
The no-resell requirement makes it quite hard to find an existing license. You could have a look at Microsoft Shared Source License it might point you in the right direction.
I believe that, unlike the GPL, the license text itself is MS property and cannot be used without approval from MS (I'm not 100% sure about this, I haven't checked with Legal).

Re: sql query (4 replies, posted in Programming)
Yes but there is one little problem, this host runs MySQL 3.23.46 witch does not support subselects =/
Try this instead:
SELECT table1.*
FROM table1
LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 ON table1.id = table2.id
WHERE table2.id IS NULL

WHERE NOT table1.id IN (SELECT table2.id FROM table2)

Re: The US election (133 replies, posted in General discussion)
I heard a Swedish reporter say that no president has ever won all three debates and then lost the election. Just food for thought.
On a related note, through history the tallest candidate has always gotten the majority of votes. Based on this Kerry will get the most votes, just as Gore did. That doesn't mean he becomes president though.
