It's an opt-out. You can change your settings to make OpenDNS give NXDOMAIN properly. - Otto

You can disable NX domain redirection (the hijacking of 404's) in OpenDNS under the customization page (uncheck "Enable NX Domain Redirection"). You'll lose some of OpenDNS's more advanced features (like shortcuts), but it'll provide RFC-compliant DNS responses at that point. - Justin Ribeiro

OpenDNS hijacks 404 responses; I used it for about five minutes before deciding "never again." I'm wary of Google having access to the entire set of user's DNS queries; that's an awful lot of data. - Glen Mistletoe

Keshav, I totally understand not wanting to run another application. :-) I don't use the client software unless I'm not at home or the office (i.e. I use it at the airport most often), but I do like dns-o-matic use at the router level (I use dns-o-matic for more than just OpenDNS updates as well). I think OpenDNS filtering and keywords work easier when you're managing a network(s)... more... - Justin Ribeiro

"Facebox is a jQuery-based, Facebook-style lightbox which can display images, divs, or entire remote pages." - Micah Wittman from Bookmarklet

If you're looking for something similar but with more options, I'd have a look at Boxy: http://onehackoranother.com/project... - Justin Ribeiro

I like the jQuery UI Dialog, which can be used as a replacement for alert/confirms using a modal confirmation box: http://jqueryui.com/demos... - Justin Ribeiro

I've resigned myself to try to write more tutorial based blog postings. Hopefully this helps someone. - Justin Ribeiro

Finding it useful for a intranet web application the team and I are working on. - Justin Ribeiro

NEWS ANALYSIS — FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s unsurprising affirmation of support for network neutrality is a victory for the high-minded principle of open, unfettered internet access. Too bad it means the days of all-you-can-eat, flat-rate internet access are probably over. - polou/indigo_bow from Bookmarklet

@Brian I was lucky enough to have Speakeasy as an ISP in San Francisco, and if they had a bandwidth limit I never found it (I had a number of dev servers running for work, and had run afoul of Comcast's bandwidth limit previously). The day I moved and could no longer get Speakeasy as an ISP was a sad day. It was pricey, but it was worth every penny. - Justin Ribeiro

If there is, I haven't been able to locate it. I would suspect it should be under "Folders and Tags" in the settings page much like starred or shared items can be shared (and RSS feed would become available). Hopefully it's a feature in the pipeline. - Justin Ribeiro

If you're going to put Apanta on that list, why not Eclipse? http://www.eclipse.org/ You can install Apanta as a plugin to Eclipse (which works well), and get at least two of the pro features of Apanta (SFTP support and a JSON editor) through other open source Eclipse add-ons. - Justin Ribeiro

second one seems kubuntu 9.04 desktop :p - al3lilo

RTM is by far the easiest to use. Without it, my bills would not get paid in time. - Mike D.

I use the iPhone app ToDo and sync with Toodledo - listed in this article. Then I also sync Toodledo to MS Outlook's (auto syncs every 10min or so) tasks. - Dave from BuddyFeed

Been using RTM for a couple years now, couldn't do without. Easy to use, a multitude of integration options allow easy task adds (phone, IM, desktop, command line, twitter) and I can sharing tasks is quite useful for work and domestic (my wife shares things for me to do all the time :-). - Justin Ribeiro

I was trying to remember what kind of memory I'd stuck in this machine (the board takes 2 different kinds) without opening it :D This found out in seconds, and I was impressed at the ton of information it got (no install necessary either, unzip and run) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

the computers are worse than digital cameras in the never-ending upgrader cycle! - 1001 noisy cameras

Surprised not to see Kevin Luck's datePicker on that list: (http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets...). I've used his version for a while now, it's very configurable (the demo list is nearly exhaustive of the types of things you may want to do). - Justin Ribeiro

"An important feature in Google Checkout has now been unavailable for almost a month, and some merchants are getting fed up with Google's automated approach to their concerns. Google's ability to handle recurring payments, such as monthly subscriptions to a service that are automatically billed once a month, has been impaired since around the middle of August with little notice by the outside world. A customer first reported the issue in a Google Checkout forum in August, and others, such as Katie Braband, sales director at storage company Datto, are still unable to rely on Google to process anything other than one-time payments." - I used Checkout once to purchase from an e-tailer. Learned my lesson after doing so apparently made the item unreturnable (WTF) and customer support from Google was nonexistent - LANjackal from Bookmarklet

I've used Google Checkout from the merchant perspective on a few projects, and I've found it hit or miss. When you need to resolve a problem, the support is often so vague as to be useless (much like the responses Datto received in the article). It's not like Google isn't making money on Checkout (they take their cut like any other processor), but the support communication needs significant improvement. - Justin Ribeiro

It looks somewhat similar to the jQuery Validation plugin (which I use and love), but it has a few interesting tidbits. Worth a look if even only for comparison. - Justin Ribeiro

1Password is a Password Manager that uniquely brings you both Security and Convenience. It is the only program that provides Anti-Phishing protection and goes beyond password management by adding Web Form Filling and Automatic Strong Password Generation. All your confidential information, including passwords, identities, and credit cards, is kept in one secure place provided by Apple's OS X Keychain. - Dave

I wish I I hadn't bought the mobile version, but the desktop version is indispensable for me. - cecily

"It's obvious to any X-File fan that they're celebrating the Exeter UFO Festival being held Sept 5th: http://exeterufofest.com/ The following article may shed further light: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world..." - Justin Ribeiro

The article title is misleading; it's not a very advanced technique. An advanced solution would be to use jQuery Form plugin in conjunction with the Validation (http://bassistance.de/jquery-...) and Metadata (http://plugins.jquery.com/project...) plugins. Been using that combo for a while, offers really great feature set. - Justin Ribeiro

Okay thx for the info, will check it out :) - alfred westerveld

I should point out, this doesn't require the $12 a month softphone plan; the article discusses how to find those the proper credentials without the need (which is why I'm using it...never liked that the softphone required a different number). - Justin Ribeiro

I'm not fond of Technique #1; besides the table use, it's also fairly slow in my testing. This from the guy who has to deal with massive improper use of tables for layout on a daily basis. :-) Technique #2 is better, but I favor Hollin's cleaner solution: http://bit.ly/ICgtD - Justin Ribeiro

I did not yet read this article, but thought it might come in handy - alfred westerveld

It's definitely worth a read; I love seeing multiple solutions to problems. Choice is good, because it helps stimulate even more refined solutions. - Justin Ribeiro

OmniDiskSweeper: http://www.omnigroup.com/applica... - Ted Roden

I love daisydisk for this, it's really pretty and seems to be faster to actually navigate for this stuff. the wheel is navigable with some clicks and can easily drill all the way from the boot volume down to the deepest directory and back with a few clicks - http://www.daisydiskapp.com/ - mjc
