This is based on the original post entitled "Creating a PHP/MySQL/JSON Comment System".

Originally I had developed a PHP comment system based on the code from the Advanced Comment System sample from HotScripts. This code worked well, but it wasn't the most dynamic and needed to be improved...

I previously created an article called "Making DVDs from JVC Everio MOD files using Ubuntu, WinFF, Avidemux, and DeVeDe". I know, long title. I've since revisited this experience with some different programs and new ideas.

Komodo Edit is a fairly decent PHP editor which includes a number of useful features. The best is that it's quick and unobtrusive with its help. The downside to a free version of a proprietary software system is that it doesn't include some necessary features. One of these features is FTP of course.

When working on a web project it's often necessary to upload the modified files and test them on a development or product...

While learning C++, yes I'm a C++ newb at the moment, I read that the strcat function didn't dynamically resize strings. I decided to make a little helper function to dynamically resize strings while acting like the strcat function. It's called strmrg, takes two strings as parameters and returns a separate, merged string. It's nothing special but it makes for a better understanding of dynamic string allocation.
  #include <string.h> ...

Here I will give you the commands and resources to export the mailbox to a PST and to know what to expect before you run into an error.

Environment Preparation

For the Open Code Project I needed a comment system. I had been considering different ways to make a comment system, such as simple comments with no replies, advanced comments with replies, and including AJAX/JSON to refresh the comment when one had been submitted. When considering these options it's best to start simple, with something that you can expand upon.

I downloaded the

It's assumed that you have already installed the flashplugin-installer package from Synaptic and are currently using the 32bit wrapper (nspluginwrapper) for Flash. The first set of instructions will work off of this assumption.

Open Synaptic and remove the flashplugin-installer package.

Here I will explain a solution that worked for me to configure an Ubuntu workstation to authenticate with an Active Directory domain. The workstation was able to browse domain resources (ie, filesystem) without having to log in and it pulled the AD group information from the domain controller. A process was used to map certain groups to Linux (Ubuntu) groups, however extensive verification of the results could not be performed.

If you're using a VMWare client then you must set ...
