I have XAMPP set up on my desktop computer, but it's just for me to test out web sites I am working on, it's not open to the public. I would never think of running a server off my personal internet connection. My ISP has a 250GB per month data cap, and I could see myself going over that way too...

PayPal has something very similar to this, but you simply just need to walk into the store or shop, and they can auto bill your card. The business uses some sort of sensor unit plugged into an electrical outlet that can detect users within a certain range. It kind of looks like one of those...

They've been dead for years now. I stopped using them like over 5 years ago. The last few years that I used them, they were just to burn movies I downloaded online, since it was faster to burn them to CD, than to convert them to a DVD format and burn one of those. Considering they only hold...

I'm pretty disappointed with Google. I was under the impression they were policing this stuff in their app store and with their Chrome extensions, but apparently they are not. I ran into a slightly similar problem recently with some of their Chrome extensions. Apparently some developers are...

AdBlock Plus as well as Adblock Element Hiding Helper. The later requires some input on your part to block specific stuff, but it does catch things that are new and not part of the main list of things to block.

Does anyone know what the deal is with Hulu and AdBlock Plus? They used to block Hulu ads back in the day, then Hulu would ask you if you would like to give their site permissions instead. Now it seems AdBlock doesn't block Hulu at all any more and worse yet you need to manually find the filters...

I'm not 100% up to speed on it just yet, but from what I can tell, HTML 5 comes with a lot more additional tags to define the structure of your content. In other words rather than just using generic DIV containers for everything, there are specific sets of tags that identify if some content is...

Google now offers a free web design tool as well, though it appears to be more geared towards creating banner ads for their ad networks. However there are options to create standard HTML pages as well. I've only dabbled in it just a bit so far but found it to be rather confusing to use, personally.

You can address a lot of these issues by simply building your site off of a solid CMS such as Wordpress, and starting with an established theme framework as your underlying layout. I wouldn't even think of trying to code my own CMS from the ground up these days. Some of these CMSes have been in...

I would consider Web Design/Graphic Design more closely related these days, they are more on the visual side of things, as opposed to Web Developers and Programmers who handle the underlying code, the scripting, calls to the databases, etc... A web designer may conceptualize a layout in...

I think that is more by design, than anything. In other words, Adobe and these other companies making similar products are essentially assuming that the drawing will be done in more specialized programs such as Illustrator or Photoshop then imported into this. That leaves programs like these...

It's best practice to still use the height and width tags as much as possible. What will still sometimes happen is if there are no dimensions specified, the browser will collapse the layout if the image cannot load. However if there are dimensions specified and the image cannot load, the browser...

Adobe Edge Animate is a much different tool from Flash, though there will be inevitable comparisons between the two. Also, keep in mind Flash as a product has been around for over 15 years whereas Adobe Edge Animate is much newer and just coming out of preview release. That said, part of the...

A few that I can think of off the top of my head: - Expression Engine - Moveable Type - b2Evolution - Nucleus CMS - Website Baker

Android is pretty good about backing up a lot of your stuff automatically. When you get a new smartphone, generally all you have to do is enter in your Google account info, and it will pull down all your contacts and emails that it had stored. As for other files, you can always send them to...

You can install multiple operating systems, provided you have enough total hard drive space. The process generally involves partitioning your drive into multiple virtual drives then installing each OS on a separate partition. Then there are separate apps that can take over your booting process...

I would prefer to have a dedicated hosting company manage the servers my sites are stored on. I don't know anything about managing servers and keeping them secure, so that is a huge setback if I had to do it myself. In addition, they generally take care of the hardware upgrades and the costs...

For me personally it is more of a marketing gimmick and not of much importance in my decision making when shopping for a new phone. What I'm more interested in is the durability of the phone, which the LG Flex at least seems to offer. Aside from that I would prefer my phone to be flat...

You can read more about them here: Lucb1e.com :: Cookieless Cookies Essentially it's another lesser known method for tracking users online that has been around for a couple of years now. Supposedly companies such as Hulu and KissMetrics are using it to continue to track users even if they have...

It could have been triggered by a manual review of your site as well. Either way, I would definitely make it a point to start adding more high quality content to your site. They have teams of people they pay to manually rate sites in addition to their algorithms.
