Can you block the link's domain for everybody?Because if you tell them to not click on something, they WILL try and click on it
Block the link and set up a redirect that shows them a "Har Har You're a MORON for clicking that link!" page.
Add a counter for more fun and profit.

Not such a bad idea. It justifies staring at them.

why can't you just synchronize the clocks?*I* can't; the SAs could, if they knew how. Apprently they don't, and they won't take guidance from us lowly developers.You, Good Sir, have proposed common sense, and this company will have none of that!
Something to hit them with: if they need to report intrusion detection attempts or security violations, then logs need to be accurately timestamped. Without some NTP in place, forensics won't trust logfiles. Can you slap management with some legal compliance?

Example: in Media Player Classic, you can hit Control+Down to decrease speed, Control+Up to increase.
THAT'S how you do it?
I've been trying "t t enter enter enter" then awaiting a dialogue box called "Prompt#2" to appear so I could type "ee".
That explains lots.

I don't know what's sillier: Plesk's sad excuse for an API or renting a server without even checking whether the SLA covers everything we need.
Plesk sucks the fat wongo. So did Ensim for a while.
I really thought having a control panel would reduce a huge workload but the amount of workarounds and tweaks required cancelled out any time savings. In the end I do stuff manually over ssh on my servers, and it doesn't seem to be as big an effort as I thought.

@toon said:Also, just now noticing the "Report Abuse" link. More density on my part..... thus pre-empting my next reply...
Apart from the obvious answer... why does this link take you to a compose screen and not just flag it for mod attention?
Or is hitting the link then "Post" without bothering to add further details sufficient to flag up spam?

Is Sharepoint really so hard to learn that it needs to be listed as a primary required experience?
SharePoint is quite a vast system. Think: source control, trac, forum, dropbox, gallery, blog and poll all rolled into one.
@tharpa said:
Or is it something any programmer could quickly pick up, like source control?
Think of a young innocent PHP install getting gang-banged by LinkedIn, Flikr, MySpace, Facefook, Twatter, Google,Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla. Imagine what the bastard offspring is like.
Do you think any nursery school counsellor would be able to assess behavioural patterns quickly?
One problem with programmers is that they approach SharePoint as someone's pre-built .net codebase and start creating unholy unmaintainable hacks to drop into SP which then become isolated from the usual SP controls - and their lack of knowledge about SP's capabilities means they've also wasted a large amount of developer effort upon designing a circular rotating transportation solution.
If anything, developers should treat SP as a tool to use and not as codebase to modify and maintain.

Since most spammers are of the 'drive by' type and don't bother reusing the accounts they create, it's actually more effort to disable the accounts, as well, than to simply just delete the post.
On a forum I moderated, deleting the account meant another would quickly be created. Flagging the account as a spammer meant their posts hit the bit-bucket but since the spambot was able to login it never trigged the re-reg attempts (and I guess the spammers themselves never checked the forum, at least from the same IP as the spambot)
We were able to collect a log of spammy IPs and block 'em en-masse without users tasting their vomit.

In the UK, you would be on shaky ground with the second question. We're really only allowed to (well, "recommended to", rather than "allowed to") verify job title, length of tenure and salary. Anything subjective is open to a whole world of legal butt-hurt.
A former boss - when asked for a reference, stated "legally I can't say anything that will jepordise their employment chances.. so I'm reserving my right to refuse providing a reference".
It worked.

Did it? Huh. Never noticed them before Vista. Noted.Ok. Weird though, since they were just as hidden in Vista+ as in XP.
And are just as much of a pain. I needed Unlocker under XP and Win7 clients to scrub some directories that apparently were in use by Explorer wanting to update thumbnails of images I was about to delete.
And why does the view not get preserved upon renaming folder? It seems thumbs.db needs to be regenerated each time folders are moved.

Apparently, when you use Internet explorer in combination with ASP websites (the old one that has the extension ASP) it will try to log in... Using your pc credentials.
I'm no IE expert, but I thought this only happened if the site is added to the "Trusted Zone".
Probably <div>, but I hear <span> is pretty commonplace too.
Isn't this kind of redirect supposed to improve page ranking with Facefook or increase someone's friend count?
