As you should be running your MySQL database on Linux.. There's really not much better for backups than Holland. http://hollandbackup.org/ Glorified cronjob with lots of config options. It'll run the mysqldump command for you, keep X amount of dumps in a folder.. etc.

git-stash One of the main reasons I switched to git.

As long as you know functional programming and control structures I don't really see the need to learn JavaScript 'fully' before using jQuery. You may need to do things with the JavaScript classes, but that would be easily revealed in a documentation search.

Syntevo makes free products.. http://www.syntevo.com/index.html They have "pay" options but the basic features are free.

K12 School District (90%+ Apple) OD Master on XServe for User / Student accounts. Each building(35+) has their own Mac Pro for Auths/User Directories. Mail is handled by a single XServe that is struggling for IOs.. an HA Linux solution here would be clutch, but we cannot sell the cost to...

The only problem that I had with Plex is that it would transcode, even with Gbit Ethernet direct connected. Kind of dumb to waste the CPU Cycles.

XMBC is definitely the way to go on OSX platform for your media needs. I use an ATV2 in the living room and I have the same database in the bedroom with a Mac Mini (wife's computer) so we can stop/resume between them. If you have a little white remote you can get a new driver for it so that it...

You need to make sure that the internal shock sensor works on the HDD, to stop head travel. If not, the HDD should be moved back to its original place. I'm not sure if the new MBPs have this for both, but I remember seeing an article where it was only present on the original position.

Without OSX Server, not much of a centralized way to do this. You can install OSX on a FW800 drive (Not USB). Then you can copy your image file into the desktop/whereever of that OSX install. On iMac: Plug in FWDrive. Hold Option (on startup, before Apple logo) to boot from it. Use Disk...

I use them at work, the only time I really play music through the iPhone: 1. They were free 2. They are open air so I can still hear if someone walks into the office or needs my attention (phone rings) 3. You can't really find much better (with included mic) for under $50

Mountain Lion is great so far, honestly its just Lion with a few tweaks. Notes is nice to have as a standalone app -- using Notes in Mail is kind of weird. Reminders, just like iOS. Just a desktop app. But in all honesty-- I use evernote for taking notes and reminders/todo lists.. Its going...

You should be able to have 5 iTunes authorized machines and .. I believe up to 10? App Store authorized machines, all under the same iTunes account. The thing you really can't do, is sync an iOS device to multiple computers.

I still don't think this generation's going to be an off the shelf card.. because of thunderbolt. I'm going to go out on a limb and say 3 thunderbolt ports per card .. making 6 displays/card... But they could be the same cards for PC.. I was also thinking about if AMD/ATi would use the PCI...

ATV2G with XBMC has been great. I've been putting off buying another for the bedroom TV for an update. Can't wait.

You're sorting the data the same way twice..? Shouldn't the second one be ASC?
