To MAX, and to election day in the US. Without turning this into a political forum, the upcoming election is one of the most important in US history, and looks to be an incredibly close race. If you are a US citizen eligible to vote, and are attending MAX in New Orleans, you will need to arrange...
I spoke at a conference recently. As a presenter I was given a login to a site to upload speaker materials, read feedback, and more. The site sent me occasional e-mail reminders (need your bio, provide session description, etc.), and every e-mail included, as a reminder, my login and password. Yes,...
Macromedia has created a hot fix to address a problem with ColdFusion MX 6.1 Updater in the server configuration (which uses an internal version of JRun 4) or the J2EE configuration running on JRun. If a request is sent to ColdFusion MX before the ColdFusion application is fully loaded and running,...
The majority of ColdFusion deployments are on Windows boxes, and so it is no surprise that users have frequently requested a simple way to authenticate users against Active Directory and Windows domains.

Ericsson helped develop Bluetooth, and has played an important role in the growth and adoption of the technology. And so it is somewhat alarming to read (http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103_2-5327431.html) that Ericsson has shut down the 125 person division that was responsible for its Bluetooth work....
This is a little one, but it has bugged me for years, and I am pleased that Blackstone fixes it. When you use you can populate the list with a query and also insert your own options using tags. Those options are always placed below the query, which often makes for rather unintuitive forms. For...
I know that this is not funny, but, well, it kinda is! :-) The island nation of Sri Lanka lost data connections on Sunday leaving 800,000 subscribers without Internet access. The problem? Indian ship "State of Nagaland" dropped anchor in the Sri Lankan port of Colombo, and the anchor severed an...
