Question for the Mac users
Howdy all, So I upgraded to Yosemite a while ago, and I want to play around with WordPress. I went through all the steps to get Apache up and running, and it works fine when I browse localhost. However, when I try to browse localhost/~brucesorge, I get the message Safari cannot connect to the server. Safari cannot open the page âlocalhost/~brucesorgeâ because safari cannot connect to the server âlocalhostâ. Also, I can only get to localhost in Safari, not Chrome. Here are the steps I performed, all in Terminal of course. Created the brucesorge.conf file and added: Directory â/Users/brucesorge/Sites/â AllowOverride All Options Indexe Multiviews FollowSymLinks Require all granted /Directory Then I set the permissions: sudo chmod 644 brucesorge.conf I made sure the four lines in the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf were uncommented: LoadModule authz_core_module libexec/apache2/mod_authz_core.so LoadModule authz_host_module libexec/apache2/mod_authz_host.so LoadModule userdir_module libexec/apache2/mod_usrdir.so Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httod-userdir.conf I opened the http-userdir.conf file and uncommented: Include /private/etc/apache2/users/*.conf I then restarted apache, but no joy. Any ideas?

Yeah, it was the brucesorge.conf file. I had a type. Fixed it and it works.

How much do you pay for cable and internet? You can save some money, but 1500 a month?Up until recently, I didn't have cable. I just watched Netflix and Amazon Prime via my Roku device on my TV and the online apps on my computer and tablet/phone. You can also stream video via playon with the Roku device and your computer...so if you have DVD's or other videos on your computer, you can view them via the playon app on the Roku device. I have used it a little bit and performance seemed ok. You are installing the playon server software on your computer and the Roku app is the client, so the network is all internal. Hulu is another option. I never really got into the Hulu stuff as much as I did Netflix and Amazon...but some people swear by it. I love my Roku device. Get the $99 one...it has more features and you can even play games on it. It only works with HDMI capable TV's. Unfortunately, the place I am in the middle of moving to only has Comcast (grr)...so I have cable again...I had to drop my ATT internet account.

Re: Server Specs
Thanks Cam. I'll try and go to that. And I am not looking to get back into development full time. It's for personal use as well as doing some small things for friends and keeping my skills up. This server won't be public facing. For that I'd send clients to their own hosting.

I'll have CF and PHP, Apache as well as MySQL. Development I'd do on your desktop computer. For anything you want to show a client I'd use their hosting for it. We never host anything except our own site, which is hosted at VivioTech. All clients must find their own hosting. We usually recommend VivioTech for this, but probably about 50% of clients have their own hosting already, often internal in their offices. I have a long standing policy of not owning any servers and not having any servers in our office to maintain. This means we do not host our own email, web, voicemail, or anything else. If you are just looking to play, get a server and play, but if you are looking to maximize billable hours, my recommendation would be to own no equipment except your desktop and focus on writing code. When you have servers around you end up having to tinker with them, patch them, backup, etc. I'm not 100% sure if you are looking to be semi-retired and play, so maybe buying an actual server makes sense for you. Just giving my input from a billable perspective. All that tinkering is going to generally be unbillable work and can be had for SUPER CHEAP as a SaaS someplace. Lastly, I would highly recommend going to AWEsome Day in April. I went last year and it was a great overview of all the things Amazon Web Services offers. There are moments where it's a little sales-y but overall it was a great introduction to a very large number of concept and capabilities of Amazon AWS - and it's free! http://aws.amazon.com/events/awsome-day/atlanta/?trkCampaign=AWSome15ATLtrk=event_awsomeday_2015_namer_607 Erika almost came to this event last time but got the day wrong, which was a little amusing, but probably not as amusing to her.. . :) -Cameron -- Cameron Childress -- p: 678.637.5072 im: cameroncf facebook http://www.facebook.com/cameroncf | twitter http://twitter.com/cameronc | google+ https://profiles.google.com/u/0/117829379451708140985 ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:373267 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm

Otherwise you might get more out of a Roku (and I see you already have a Chromecast). We also have Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu. We rent a few shows directly from iTunes and occasionally rent a movie from iTunes too. It's still mega-cheap compared to paying Comcast for 99 TV shows about towing cars and meter maids. I would also check out Plex (https://plex.tv/) for streaming any content you may have locally on a server someplace. If you are into downloading stuff that will be the esiest way to get it to all your devices. Samsung TV has a player app for Plex, there is also a player for iPhone and Roku but not one for AppleTV (AFAIK). -Cameron ... ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:373279 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Slate: Pentagon Says Hundreds in Military Exposed to Chemical Agents While in Iraq
You are absolutely correct. Before joined, there was one thing I knew for sure. I didnt want to go to college. Other than that, I had no idea what to do with my life. My mom made a half hearted suggestion to look into the military. It took me about three seconds to make a decision. I got out the phone book and looked up the recruiting station, then drove there and enlisted in the Army. That was one of the best decisions I made. I learned a lifestyle that I loved and thrived in. I love the Army so much, that I gave up a six figure income to come back in after a 13 year break. I took a HUGE pay cut and had to make some changes in my lifestyle, but I dont regret coming back in. I will retire in nine months and will receive a lot of benefits. Retirement check for the rest of my life, very inexpensive medical and dental insurance through the armys Tri-Care for Life program, VA home loans, veterans preference for certain jobs, the list goes on. I got my BS IT for free while in, and the Army will pay for over half of my M ED degree before I retire, so I wont have to take out much in pell grants and student loans. Most everyone I have met who is either currently serving or has previously served totally love the time they spent in the military. Its a hard job to say the least, but its rewarding in so many ways.

Re: Use your Spader sense
The first time I heard of him was the movie Wall Street. I liked him then. And now, with Blacklist on TV, I really like him more. Hes a really good actor and plays an excellent villain. I am looking forward to this movie. What I like is Joss Whedons statement Spader was my first and only choice. Hes got that hypnotic voice that can be eerily calm and compelling, but hes also ver human and humorous. Ultron is not HAL. Spader can play all levels. Hes the guy to break The Avengers into pieces.

Re: What the iPhone 6 does better than the rest
IMO, you get what you pay for. I was a devout windows and android user. I used to mock apple folks. Then I was offered a work in kind deal, and for some reason, I chose to be paid in the form of a 17 MacBook Pro. It took a while, but in the end, I was a convert. Now I have an iPhone, iPad and of course the Mac. I love them all. I love the interoperability of all three devices. I am looking forward to Yosemite to come out for the Mac to see what new level of interoperability I get. I still have two Windows machines in my house. they run Windows 7 and 8. I don't know why I hang onto them, but on rare occasions I will fire one up. I may turn one of them into a linux machine running Apache, PHP and ColdFusion as well as MySQL for a development web server since the sites I host are all on Linux servers. I don't think that Apple does anything revolutionary. IMO, it appears to me that they see what's out there, what people like and don't like, and make/upgrade a product that has the things that folks want, and not much of what they don't want. Again, my opinion. I don't mind that Apple waits a while to develop something that Android has been doing for a while. I am patient. I was not jonesing for a SWYPE keyboard, but as soon as I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 8, I paid the whopping .99 cents to get it. I am looking forward to seeing how the iWatch is going to work. From what I read, Apple took what Samsung has been doing with their watch, and making tweaks so that it's what people want, and leaving out what they don't want. In the end, its all about what you like. I won't bash a windows or android user (I will bash Windows 8 though) just because they like their systems. As was said in this thread, to each their own.

It has historically been the case that 64-bit architectures were less efficient than 32-bit architectures unless you were running applications that needed more memory than a 32-bit architecture would allow. Phones are designed for smaller, short running processes. It seems to me that making it 64-bit is just going to end up being a waste of memory utilization because you need to allocate twice the memory for every operation. Is ApplePay substantially different than Google Wallet? I have been able to use Google Wallet with my phone at my grocery store for some time. Is Apple doing something very different or is it just an Apple version? Is the stopping of a task in one spot and picking it up in the other any different from what Google has been doing? I can start composing an email on my (Android) phone and pick it up on my (Mac) laptop without a problem. Same thing with documents. What is Apple doing differently? Better autofocus is cool. Not sure if it would make much difference for me, but that sounds cool. Fingerprint scanners are also not my thing but glad they are improving the tech. The bulk of what I've seen seems to be bringing feature parity to people invested in the Apple ecosystem who just really like the way that that stuff works for them. That's totally cool and what Apple should be doing. I just don't understand why it is being seen as super important or revolutionary or whatever but maybe I'm missing the details.

Re: There seems to be no end to the corruption....
at this point, I don't see how heads will not roll. Anyone who knows anything about the NFL knows that every team has a team of investigators that include former police and FBI. It's not hard to find the truth, or at least get ahold of a police report. It's pretty obvious that coverups were occurring in order to bring in the all mighty dollar. It's unfortunate that those involved in this alleged coverup don't realize that-as the story mentioned-learning about a coverup is worse than just admitting the truth. I really hope that many folks - including Goodall - are fired and fined severely.

Re: Who's rocking iOS8??
I really do like the predictive keyboard. What a HUGE difference. I know that iOS is behind the androids, but honestly I don't care. In fact, I am glad that Apple is lagging a bit so that they have a chance to see what folks really like and don't like. For instance, the Samsung watch thingy is not working out as well as they would have wanted it to, and Apple is looking hard at that and making a watch that people want. To be honest, I doubt I'd get one because outside of the Army, I don't wear a watch. I will try out the SWYPE keyboard. I tried it out on android devices and like it.

Re: Ray Rice
Well, in the past, there have been suspensions. In October of 2008, Adam Jones was initially suspended indefinitely for an altercation with a bodyguard, but that was reduced to a 4 game suspension. In 2011, Cedric Benson was suspended for 3 games for misdemeanor assault. These are two incidents that talk of violence. There have been many suspensions for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, but I don't know all the details and I am too lazy to look all of them up. The NFL's personal conduct policy includes Criminal offenses including, but not limited to, those involving: the use or threat of violence, domestic violence and other forms of partner abuse So the first part, the use or threat of violence covers this scenario. Considering how the NFL is cracking down on players who tarnish the game, I would put my money on him getting suspended at the very least. Below is the 2012 policy. I can't find the one for 2014, but I would bet it's pretty similar. http://images.nflplayers.com/mediaResources/files/2012%20Personal%20Conduct%20Policy.pdf On Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 4:40 PM, LRS Scout lrssc...@gmail.com wrote: You can't remove the size distinctions, especially from an nfl player.

My future is around the corner, what to do...
OK, so most of not all of you know that I'll be retiring from the Army in a year (actually, 1 OCT 15, but I will be home on a 50 day vacation next August). Anyway, I'll have my BS in IT with a general concentration in November of this year. I am seriously considering going for my MS in business or management. So my goal when I retire is to land a management job in an IT shop in or near Colorado Springs. Since I have been out of the civilian world for the better part of seven years, what should I do to make myself marketable at the management level? I have of course solid leadership experience in the Army for the better part of 17+ years, and I have previous IT experience as a ColdFusion, PHP, .NET, MySQL and MS SQL Server as a web developer, and my PHP, CF and MySQL skills are still current as I do side jobs for folks. But, I don't want to be a worker bee at the age of 52 when I retire. I know having a degree and leadership experience helps. I am specifically talking about technical skills. I want to make sure I can walk the walk, not just throw out current technology buzzwords in any future interviews I will have.

I have of course solid leadership experience in the Army for the better part of 17+ years, and I have previous IT experience as a ColdFusion, PHP, .NET, MySQL and MS SQL Server as a web developer, and my PHP, CF and MySQL skills are still current as I do side jobs for folks. But, I don't want to be a worker bee at the age of 52 when I retire. I know having a degree and leadership experience helps. I am specifically talking about technical skills. I want to make sure I can walk the walk, not just throw out current technology buzzwords in any future interviews I will have.

Re: Slaughter of civilians by Israel...
Tim is right. According to the Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August, 1949 and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts (Protocol l), 8 June 1977, launching an attack on a military target that is being shielded by civilians is not off limits. Part of this states (c) effective advance warning shall be given of attacks which may affect the civilian population, unless circumstances do not permit. Of course when you read all of it, they go to great length to deter such operations, but it's not prohibited per se. http://www.icrc.org/ihl/WebART/470-750073?OpenDocument On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 4:39 PM, Eric Roberts ow...@threeravensconsulting.com wrote: No...it wasn't flares...it was explosive ordinace.

Re: Slaughter of civilians by Israel...
While there have been incidents of collateral damage caused by US forces (usually planes dropping huge ass bombs), we do try very hard not to do this. Case in point. When I was in Tikrit back in '05, the insurgents would launch four or five attacks against our FOB each week during the fighting season from orchards. We already had these locations indexed, so as soon as they shot at us, we fired back with our artillery. However, the the game changer was when they started launching attacks from within the city. Once that happened, no more counter attacks with artillery. Instead, we'd send a QRF into the sector and kick down doors. The problem though was that they were not using homes to attack us, they were using pickup trucks with the rocket launchers or mortars in the bed, hidden using 55 gallon drums or tarps. So we pretty much had to suck it up when it came to attacks from then on. As far as what goes through the mind of someone who has to do this, I don't know. I am an infantryman. I kick down doors and go on patrols looking for the enemy, I don't fire artillery on them.

Re: Minds that change
Having fought in both Desert Storm and OIF, I'll say this: I fully supported Desert Storm, as did most of the world. To me it was a just war for a good cause. Nuff said. Regarding OIF, I was all for it. I believed that there were WMD's (proof was finally discovered recently), and I believed that Saddam should not have stayed in power. However, I completely am against how the war was executed almost from the beginning. With Rumsfeld supporting a much smaller invasion force, to the complete dismantling of the Iraqi Army (IA). There were several mistakes made in the opening of the war. One of the biggest ones was assuming that Turkey would be OK with the 4th Infantry Division launching their part of the invasion from their country. Of course this never happened, so we ended up invading Iraq from only the South, not the North and South as was originally planned. That left an entire Mechanized Infantry division with nothing to do but float around the ocean until they could reach a Southern port to move in. Dismantling the IA did nothing more than produce home grown insurgents since the Army was the only source of income for these men. And then trying to rebuild the IA didn't work out well either as they had neither the inclination to learn our tactics nor did they have any motivation to actually try and fight the insurgents since 1). The IA, like the Afghan Army were infiltrated with Taliban, and 2). As long as coalition forces were there, they knew that we'd do most of the fighting. The result is unfolding in that country now. An Army that was otherwise well equipped, but soldiers that are lazy and cowardly. I'm completely against an further action from our servicemen and women today beyond protecting the Embassy and the personnel assigned to work there. No advise and assist teams should step foot into that country. They had the opportunity to have us stay longer to continue training their sorry ass soldiers, but Maliki didn't want to sign a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), so we cut bait and left. Now that the shit has hit the fan, Maliki is all for a SOFA. I say tough shit. You got what you wanted - Coalition forces out of your country. Now deal with the consequences on your own.

Judah, I first got into it when I was in Iraq in '05. My family was into it, got my daughter into it, so I started watching it then. When I returned and took my daughter to our first race together in Texas, man was I hooked. It's one thing to see it on TV, but when you can hear and feel the cars driving by, it's a unique experience. And if you get a chance to get a pit pass, do it. You get up close to the cars and pit boxes. And if you can score a hot pass, you get to go into the garage area and really see some cool stuff. And of course there's the Richard Petty experience. Doing some laps in an actual NASCAR (that is modified with a passenger seat). that was a serious hoot! What I want to see in person now is MOTOGP. I watch it on TV, but I want to see these bikes in person. Bruce On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 5:31 PM, Judah McAuley ju...@wiredotter.com wrote: When it comes to car racing, I'm all about Rally.

Re: Stabbing
You make a good point about the idea that not everyone should have a gun, but I still maintain that if certain criteria were met, there's no reason why some teachers or school officials should not be armed. In the case of this recent event, you are right, a gun would have been a bit much for an appropriate response, but recall the original thread. Someone implied that the violence could have been worse had the student had a gun, and so I implied that if the student had a gun, and so did the teachers/officials, either the crazy would not have acted at all, or the kids could have had some degree of protection. No matter how you look at it though, there WILL be injuries/casualties no matter what. We just need a way to mitigate the number of casualties/injuries. Anyway, even if people don't want to arm teachers/officials, why not hire armed security as you mentioned? Why not put metal detectors in all schools? Why are we more concerned with protecting a government building, like a court house than we are of protecting our children? How come fat ass pieces of shit like Michael Moore can have armed security, but our kids can't? I guess that's really my point. (And yes, I know that Moore hired his security, not tax payers, but it's just to make a point) And your idea of hiring veterans to do the security work is good, but there are soldiers that I have personally seen ( I see them almost every day on my range) who have no business holding a weapon. Not all soldiers are good shooters. Trust me. Obviously for something like this to work, there'd have to be some testing involved, like go to a shooting range that has different scenarios, shoot houses and such so that folks could be evaluated. And psychological testing is a must. Just because someone can shoot doesn't mean they are sane. On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 1:58 PM, Jerry Milo Johnson jmi...@gmail.com wrote: I am not anti-gun. But I am also not a gun is the solution to every problem. I have seen people at the shooting range. Would NOT want them armed in a school with the desire to use it. And those are the people who PRACTICE. In this case, a crazy did not come into the school. He was already there. (student). And crazy, by default, means not reasoning normally. I don't think a gun would have done much IN THIS CASE. Heck, a CHAIR could have ended it faster. But there was too much panic, and no one is trained for handling sudden unexpected violence. Too bad there weren't more veterans as teachers in the immediate area. They (in my opinion) are probably more likely to react quickly and correctly when the normal rules are suddenly lost. Plus, it is good employment for veterans. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:369875 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Stabbing
You are right. I have seen schools that have tall fences and/or metal detectors. They are in pretty shitty neighborhoods with pretty shady students. I was just posing some what ifs.I would not have wanted my daughter attending that kind of school either. I doubt we are ever going to get rid of guns. And just because you make something illegal does not mean it will just go away. Prohibition, drugs and certain classes of weapons are good examples. So since America will more than likely keep Her guns, and since there are violent people in America, we do have to live with the consequences as you say. So now were back to how can we better protect our children.

Agreed. On Wed, Apr 2, 2014 at 1:39 PM, Judah McAuley ju...@wiredotter.com wrote: Elections aren't an enterprise (or at least shouldn't be). And money is not speech. Also, the country was not founded on the notion of free enterprise, though I will grant you that it has been a major thread through a lot of our existence. If you want to advocate for a candidate or a political party, then I absolutely think you should do so. Write blog posts, make signs and go stand next to a busy road, distribute fliers in your neighborhood. Hell, organize a rally and a march! Free speech baby, everyone has the right to speak up and make themselves heard. Donating $20 million dollars to a candidate that goes into an account that they can they use to prop up the campaigns of other candidates and buy their votes is not speech. It does not promote any principle of democracy. It is a financial transaction, an attempt to buy influence, a perversion of the notion that all men are created equal and that we all have a solemn duty to get in and mix it up in the political arena to form a more perfect union. Fuck that. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:369705 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: I survived a gay wedding
I was a major homophobe up until my 20's. A few things happened to change my attitude towards homosexuality. I dated a girl who opened my eyes to a world where people can be tolerant and get along, straight, gay or otherwise. Also, when I was stationed in California, my moms boss was gay. She was invited to a Christmas party at his house and she asked it I'd be her +1. So I attended and had a blast. No one tried to hit on me. We were all just hanging out talking about whatever. Finally, living in San Fran for a while really opened my eyes. Going to clubs where everyone had a good time, straight or gay was fun and interesting. No one tried to turn me gay like my brother thought would happen. These experiences were good for me as it's made me realize that being gay is fine. It's not hurting anyone and I am still a happy heterosexual in a happy straight marriage despite my interactions with homosexuals.

And.contrary to what I've been told by some members of my family and by various conservative groups.my marriage was surprisingly unaffected. My wife and I both decided after we returned home nice and tipsy from the blast of a reception that our marriage was, oddly, NOT adversely affected by the two women we had witnessed getting married that night. Somehow their new found love, their stated devotion to each other through thick and thin, had not destroyed MY devotion to my wife. Somehow, the gathering of friends and loved ones in celebration of that marriagewas a blast. God must have been busy doing something else, because he failed to smite anyoneeven when they played that Lady Gaga song at the reception! Now i'm all confused.
