(Running Ubuntu 12.04, 64-bit)

I'm connecting over SSH (with key authentication) to my computer on the other side of the globe. This worked a while ago, but doesn't anymore. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04...

I have set up SSH to my home computer in Sweden and I have been able to successfully connect to it using an SSH tunnel with key authentication. Furthermore, I have set up Firefox so that it uses the...

Note my last edit - ttf-arphic-uming also seems to cause the problem.

Tried uninstalling fonts to get it to work, but there was still something shoddy going on. Maybe it's not only a problem with...

Anuovis: Thank you so much! With your hints I was able to work this out.

I had a different set of fonts installed to start with, those that you mentioned were not installed.

The following fonts...

I have installed support for Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese, so my situation should be pretty much like yours. I've checked some traditional Chinese and there doesn't seem to be...

I bet there are at least a few other people here speaking or studying Japanese. Have you never thought of this? I don't think the problem is specific to my computer...

Making password verification slow seems like a good idea. I was reading a little about bcrypt, and it looks a lot more secure than other those other hashing methods. Either I will go with bcrypt, or...

The other day I created a database table in MySQL, and first I made it so that there are two columns, the first column holding a unique id, and the second holding a category name.

First I let the...

I've created a MySQL database and I'm planning to add a table which keeps track of user details for a website.

I'm not a pro, so it would be nice to hear your opinions on security issues here....

Perfect, cheers for that!

For some reason I really like that sound when Transmission finishes a download. I thought I might use it as a message alert for my phone, but does anybody know where to find the right sound file in...

I have installed support for both Chinese and Japanese on my Ubuntu 11.10 (at least according to the list in System Settings > Language Support > Install/Remove Languages). The problem is that when I...

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for, and simple too! :)

The Consequences of Modernity by Anthony Giddens. Ironically, the book itself is not modern anymore. It still holds some value though.

I'm pretty new to MySQL and PHP, and the other day I stumbled over the problem of how to determine the ID of an entry in a database. I'll describe the issue a little more clearly.

I have a...

Thanks, exactly what I needed!

I've just started up doing some PHP/MySQL coding. I've got local Apache and MySQL servers.

A bit of a problem when trying to run some new code is that if it's not correct, my browser will just...

It seems one of the big problems is how you can make a new currency like this stable. (It's not really an option to decree that you can swap it for a piece of gold, right? :D) I guess it's a bit of a...

Well, that goes for traditional banks too. Sure, they (presumably) work a lot with their data security, but there is always the possibility that someone manages to hack something vital.

A while ago I read about BitCoin, a kind of Internet currency.

It seems the idea is to enable to send a receive currency without the need for a bank to act as a middleman. The network for using...

Unfortunately I don't know C yet. At all. (I only know Ada reasonably well.) I'm guessing it would take a while to learn C well enough to make good use of it. PHP and MySQL seem easy enough to use,...

The 64-bit version seemed a little bit better. I agree though, the regular version is surprisingly slow. A tad disappointed... More disappointing though is the time it takes to switch users.

Well, if the intended audience is trying to find stuff to buy online it makes sense that they are presented with links to places where they can buy them. If the "find stuff feature" is not a main...

Wordpress is good, and maybe it would save me more coding than it would cost changing it. However, Wordpress is a no-go to use for something with a commercial potential, and I'm not quite sure on...

Well, actually I've set up my own local Apache and MySQL servers already, so that I'll be able to try out code without having to upload it all to a web host. There is a decent chance I'll want to get...
