pacey

Wouldn't it be more likely that everything "worked as designed"? And while it's of course was frustrating for all of us that tried similar things it was ultimately the right decision.

I think it is more likely that C2K hadn't had any idea that the author was both, the person responsible for the proxy and the user using it to circumvent the filters. They saw a URL or something that they could identify as belonging to a PHProxy Installation and contacted the abuse contact of the webhoster in question. I find this scenario more likely.

Is this useful for individuals also? I would really like to know the optimal time to sell my car. Or is this more like chart analysis which only works as long as the people having access to that information is limited?

Yeah, but with the current model it could also be subsituted with a cert for which comodo has fucked up the verification again.

I've read up and down on that issue because I have problems with my lower back and after reading many many reviews I decided against the Aeron.

The problem I've read of is the hard "lip" on the front of seating area which according to some reviewers tends to cut blood flow from the legs for longer sitting periods.

The Embody should be fine in that regard (from what I've read, but I haven't tried it - neither have I tried the Aeron).

I ultimately decided for the "Steelcase Leap" and from my experience this was the best investment I have ever done in furniture.

Before the Leap I was unable (and unwilling) to go sit at my computer after leaving the office - now if I get backpains while at work I cannot wait to get home and into my chair. This may not be the case for everybody but for me it reliefs my backpain.

If you're going to invest in good chairs, give the Leap a spin.

I remember an interview (will try to find a source) where they told an anecdotal story about Petrov.

Some years after the incident, Petrov told he believed that the system at his station was showing a false alarm and wanted to wait for a confirmation from other stations. He is cited with not wanting to sting a bee-hive.

After being introduced the information present at the other stations (most if not all were seeing the same false-alarm) he told the interviewer that if he would have had this "information" at the time of the incident he'd probably decided otherwise.

IIRC in the past, there were multiple occassions in which a "button" being pressed in error might have started nuclear war. But I think the guy you are talking about is Stanislav Petrov[1] who is known for preventing nuclear war in 1983[2].

On OSDC '08 there was a lightning talk being held about depression and burnout. As a later step, the Bluehackers.org Group has been established.

This cannot replace the help from a professional but they provide good reads / resources on the subject.

HTH - You're not alone!

I'm just getting reports from some German ISP customers being also affected while customers of other providers in the same area are not seeing any issues.

Just my two cents:

Maybe one could send POST request to a WebDAV resource? This makes also use of a server component but it omits at least the typical MySQL / Scripting language combinations the OP mentioned.
