Si tratta di una protesta partita in Norvegia, dove uno dei siti piu’ popolari del paese finn.no (una specie di eBay locale) sta cercando di far uscire di scena Internet Explorer 6, un “nonnetto” del web, che non ha piu’ senso supportare.

If you have to use Xdebug but you don’t want to “going crazy” with manual building from sources or with pecl, you can download a binary version of Xdebug from the ActiveState website (get the PHP Remote Debugging archive for your OS and use the binary version according your PHP version).
Nice gift ActiveState!

If you have your vm hosted on a NTFS partition and the mount.ntfs-3g is eating all your CPU power, try to update the NTFS 3G to the last version and add to your .vmx file this config line:
mainMem.useNamedFile=FALSE

If you are experiencing some strange behaviour with the keyboard (the four arrow keys, Home, End, PageUP, PageDOWN, etc… are not working correctly) in Vmware Server 2.0 and your host is Linux, you can try to fix this problem with this terminal code:

Well, I’m used to virtualization technology, remote desktop management and all this kind of stuff, but Synergy is something that amazes me. And in these days, find something that impresses me, is quite unusual
If you are familiar with the dual monitor concept, you know the level of productivity you can reach with this […]

Sometimes, on Linux boxes, after installing VMware Server and the MUI (Management User Interface aka VMware Management Interface - the web based administration interface) you cannot login. You have to use the root account and the password of your linux server, you have made no typo errors, but no way to go ahead.
Usually, if you […]

If you are using Firefox on Apple OS X and you are experiencing problems viewing the Flash content (you cannot see the Flash embedded content, you can see something only moving the mouse pointer over it, sometimes…), you must have the Adblock Plus add-ons installed.
This is a not very well known bug of Adblock on […]
