ReactOS – a ground-up implementation of a Microsoft Windows XP compatible operating system
ReactOS has been around for a while. The combination of their website, and the progress of the software in my books deems ReactOS worthy of checking in on from time to time.

Howtoforge.com does it well, but it took me some time, and in particular I feel one command was left out. Start by removing the bind address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf: #skip-networking #bind-address = 127.0.0.1 Then add the following to /etc/mysql/my.cnf. Particularly to the mysqld section!!: log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log binlog-do-db=exampledb server-id=1 Exampledb is the database that you intend [...]

There is no reason your website should not conform to W3C standards. It will ensure the highest possible ability, of your website, to be displayed properly in the wide variety of web browsers available in the marketplace. Clearly there is above and beyond, specifically with regard to semantics and accessibility, but W3C validation should be [...]

I like this map. It really shows how poor at&t’s coverage is. I had at&t for a long time, and I would get dropped calls on my iPhone. I would call at&t all the time and the rep would say that its not in your contract that at&t guarantees service. So basically I had bad [...]

iphone OS 3.1.2 has been jailbroken again, allowing users to do whatever they like with the gadgets they’ve bought.[Source] The iPhone can use any carrier particularly TMobile instead of at&t. I had an iPhone for a long time, but ultimately the GSM bottleneck of the device is a tremendous downfall. On at&t MMS took unnecessarily [...]

A wonderful autotagging addon to any website was Jiglu. They would automatically tag popular keywords and other relevant content that is on your site, and other sites in the Jiglu network. Jiglu has discontinued this service to pursue, what appears to be, a paid service. For a long time now Jigu has gone through some [...]
