In all the years I've been using credit cards I've not had a single incidence of credit card fraud until now.Someone actually CLONED my Visa PayWave card and was using an actual physical copy of the card last weekend in person in Illinois, which is a long way from California.The credit card fraud department caught the activity instantly, and shipped me a new card via UPS in 2 days.I'm very

The only thing I found real difficulty with in it's initial intuitiveness on the Android phone was setting the custom notification sounds for various things to sound unique.For instance, I have specific inbound emails that come from my alarm monitoring company when a server goes down and I need it to wake up the dead when the alarm goes off not just go "BING!" and go away.So here's the dirt on

There have been several instances of DNS hijacking reported lately so I thought it might be useful to briefly address this problem and it's easy resolution.DNS hijacking occurs when someone using a different domain name aims their domain name at your server and it hijacks a domain on your server. Both domains, the hijackers and yours, now serve up the same exact content. The search engines aren't

With the proliferation of screen shots everywhere you would think that site designers would make sure that their sites make good screen shots, right?Unfortunately this is not always the case.When a surfer uses a visual search engine or a directory that has screen shots of the site the visual appeal often dictates which site is chosen and which site is left behind, not the SEO value of the text

Blocking hotlinks is usually considered a method used to conserve bandwidth and stop leeching of images off your server. However, you can also use hotlink blocking to quickly and easily find all those sites using your content.The most common solution for Linux servers is to add the following hotlink blocking code into your .htaccess file.RewriteEngine OnRewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$RewriteCond
