I've dented the optical drive in my MacBook Pro, so I have a rather useless eject key as I can't get anything in my drive to eject.

Slightly better one-click system:
- Open your favourite shell (click, sometimes)
- wget the patch file
- read through the patch file if you think it may be an ownage patch
- apply patch file
- ???
- Profit. Too bad for all those that have to manually apply the patch for lack of patch (or something similar)

The webhost I use (that will remain nameless) has pretty close to (if not more than) 99.99% uptime. This is on a shared host as well. The worst I get is about a minute down each month as the server gets power cycled.

Submission + - How to get out of developer's block? 1
Midnight Thunder writes: I have spent the past six months working on a software project, and while I can come up with ideas, I just can't seem to sit down in front of the computer to code. I sit there and I just can't concentrate. I don't know whether this is akin to writer's block, but it feels like it. Have any other slashdotters run into this and if so how did you get out of it? It is bothering me since the project has ground to a halt and I really want to get started again. I am the sole developer on the project, if that makes a difference.

"PHP 4 end of life announcement
[13-Jul-2007] Today it is exactly three years ago since PHP 5 has been released. In those three years it has seen many improvements over PHP 4. PHP 5 is fast, stable & production-ready and as PHP 6 is on the way, PHP 4 will be discontinued.
The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. Please use the rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5.
