Logical Fallacies IIA particular tribe has two categories of tribesmen: Sunkind and Moonkind.When asked a question by an outsider, a Sunkind will always answer truthfully, whereas a Moonkind's answer will always be false. Apart from that, members of the two tribes are virtually indistinguishable, as they dress and behave identically.You've just met two tribesmen at a fork in the road. You have a hunch that the first is a Sunkind and the second is a Moonkind, but you haven't confirmed it.So you point at the first tribesman and ask: "Are you a Sunkind or a Moonkind?""I'm a Sunkind," he replies. Which is exactly how a Sunkind would answer that question.Then you point at the second tribesman and ask the same question.His answer: "I'm a Sunkind." Which is exactly the answer a Moonkind would give.You take these answers as proof that the first tribesman is a Sunkind, and the second is a Moonkind.Is this wise?

Cartoon BullfightingBullfighting in cartoon worlds is significantly different from real-world bullfighting, owing mainly to the fact that the bulls are just as sapient as the fighters.Cartoon bullfighting is more like a cross between normal bullfighting and prizefighting. It's a duel between a heavyweight (the bull) and a lightweight (the bullfighter) in a large, circular dirt arena, where the bullfighter attempts to use wits and agility to defeat the bull, who attempts to use its sheer brawn to defeat the bullfighter. The first to flatten or otherwise incapacitate the other party wins the round; whoever wins two out of three rounds wins the match.Even after one participant has won the round, they are given extra time to play with their conquered opponent to humiliate them further (and entertain the audience even more). Then the fighters are allowed an intermission to rest up and recover. At the end of the match, the winner and loser are each given a quick 30-second interview fro

The lead he'd come to the city to pursue had turned out to be a bust, so here he was, hoping to kill time until Hisspan arrived to rendezvous with him.The wolf set the book he'd picked out in front of him. The title "PHOENIX" graced the front cover. According to the jacket, the book told the story of a Mobian phoenix with a shattered memory. The phoenix could remember that his name was Tip and that he was the prince of somewhere, but that was it. He toured the galaxies by whatever means he could, searching for clues about his identity. Wolfen had picked out the book because Tip's situation was so similar to his own.Maybe I'm the prince of some kingdom somewhere and I just don't know it.

What Makes a Fish a Fish?(Written by Anya Marasaka during a spell of boredom)What makes a fish a fish?There are many different types of fish, of all shapes and sizes. But they are all, undoubtedly, fish.The main defining characteristic of a fish is that it lives in the water, but is that enough to go by?There are birds that cannot fly, and mammals that lay eggs. And there are creatures which dwell in the water but are not fish.If a fish were to dwell on land and breathe air like we do, would it still be able to classify itself as a fish? If so, then why?Where can the border between "fish" and "not fish" be found?There are so many categories in the world that we take for granted, but that are impossible to explain simply without contradiction.If, tomorrow, I were to meet a creature that naturally walked on legs and did not inject venom nor constrict, yet still called itself a snake......how willing would I be to believe it?

Writing Practice: Five Senses--Kenneth Young What does Kenneth SOUND like?Kenneth has a very down-to-Earth, informal way of speaking most of the time, even when he's trying to be serious, and has sort of a goofy, self-deprecating sense of humor. Though you would expect his voice to be deep and Schwarzenegger-like thanks to his huge musculature, he's actually more in the middle, though his voice gets a bit higher when he's over-excited or nervous. He also has an infectious and almost awkward-sounding laugh. It's actually been really difficult pinning down the perfect voice actor for Kenneth, though; I've junked at least 4 people who I've considered over the years. But I guess to give kind of an idea of his voice, I'd go with Chris Pratt for now, or Nathan Fillion as someone helpfully suggested. What does Kenneth SMELL like?Kenneth's smell is usually a combination of three things: Pert 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner, Irish Spring bar soap, and either Right Guard

Commitment. The idea was foreign to her and as much as she longed for it, longed to call Idek hers and for Raven to call her mine, Arya knew that she would never be able to settle - to stay and stagnate.

Economic concerns drive college choicesBy PHILIP ELLIOTT
The Associated Press | July 24,2013AP Photo
Prospective students tour Georgetown Universitys campus in Washington.WASHINGTON College costs are driving decisions about which schools to attend, what to study and even where to live, according to a report from loan giant Sallie Mae.
Parents no longer foot the largest portion of the bill, according to the lenders annual survey. That role goes to grants and scholarships, with student loans coming in third.
While the recession has largely passed, economic worries have not and many families are making college choices driven by fears of tuition hikes and job losses, according to the survey.
Parents are willing to stretch themselves, said Sarah Ducich, Sallie Maes senior vice president for public policy. Its not that theyre willing to pay. Its that their income is not keeping up.
College spending per student was about $21,000 during 2012, down from a peak of $24,000 in 2010, according to the Sallie Mae-Ipsos Public Affairs report.
The annual survey of student financial aid found students earned about $6,300 in grants and scholarships to pay for college costs, taking the top spots from parents.
Parents chipped in $5,727 on average, a decrease of 35 percent since 2010.
Student loans were the third most common source to pick up the bill for courses, housing and books. The average student borrowed $8,815 in federal loans.
The rate for those loans was the subject of debate in the Senate last week, as lawmakers considered a compromise that would offer some students lower rates for the next few years but would prescribe higher rates for future classes. The Senate is expected to vote on that White House-backed compromise this week.
Rates on every single new college loan will come down this school year, offering relief to nearly 11 million borrowers, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Wednesday.
The White House estimates the average undergraduate student would save $1,500 in interest charges if Congress acts before leaving town for the August recess. A vote has not been scheduled.
Last year, the average family turned to grants and scholarships to cover 30 percent of college costs. Parents income and savings covered 27 percent of the bill and student borrowing covered 18 percent.
We have moved into a post-recession reality in how people pay for college, Ducich said.
Parents enthusiasm for college has not shriveled, though. The survey found 85 percent of parents saw college bills as an investment in their childrens future.
Were in a new normal where big ticket items like college, families will pay for them but wont stress about them too much, said Cliff Young, managing director at Ipsos.
One-fifth of parents added work hours to pay for college and half of students increased their work hours, too. The report found 57 percent of families said students were living at home or with relatives, up from 41 percent last year and 44 percent in 2011.
Among other strategies employed to deal with costs:
One-fifth of students from low-income families chose to transfer to less expensive schools.
About one-fifth of students said they changed majors to fields that were expected to be more marketable upon graduation.
In all, 67 percent of students and their families eliminated colleges at some stage during the application process because of costs, up from 58 percent in 2008.
It forced them to adopt new behaviors of savings and ways to find nickels and dimes, Young said.
The tuition sticker price at public four-year colleges is up 27 percent beyond overall inflation over the last five years, according to the latest figures from a separate study from the College Board. This past year it rose nearly 5 percent to an average of $8,655 nationwide. Including room and board, the average sticker price at public colleges is now $17,860, and students pay on average $12,110. At private four-year colleges, the average full tuition price is now just under $40,000, with the average student paying $23,840.
What does that mean for the average college student?
About two-thirds of the national college class of 2011 had loan debt at graduation, and their debt averaged $26,600, according to the most recent figures from the California-based Institute for College Access and Success. That was an increase of about 5 percent from the class before them.
The Ipsos telephone poll was conducted between April 10 and May 9 with 802 parents of undergraduate students aged 18 to 24, and 800 18- to 24-year-old undergraduate students. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.MORE IN National / World BusinessBRUSSELS European Union institutions are piling pressure on Google to change the way it...

Apple CEO Cook pushes for anti-discrimination bill
November 4, 2013
Apple CEO Tim Cook urged Congress to pass legislation banning workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal.
"Protections that promote equality and diversity should not be conditional on someone's sexual orientation," he wrote in the op-ed, which was published online Sunday. "For too long, too many people have had to hide that part of their identity in the workplace."
Cook, who is gay, argued that respecting people's individuality is a civil rights issue and is good for business.

I wonder if you all can help me with a predicament.
At home, I have my Xbox360 connected to my DVD player, so that sound comes out via my surround sound....which is superb. However, I got struck with the idea that I should try and connect my PC through my surround sound as well (as it is already going through my TV).
The only problem is that I only have 2 phono sockets on my dvd player (1 red, 1 white) which the Xbox uses up. Now, I can get a sound lead for my PC that goes from 3.5mm jack to 2 phono leads, but to get the sound coming through my DVD player, I somehow need to take the 2 inputs to create one output (the 4 leads 2 red, 2 white going into 2... 1 red, 1 white).
Please tell me it is possible....and also...how!! And where to buy the required equipment from!!

The Best Christmas (?)
By Dawn Sticklen on December 27, 2012
As the plane prepared to land, I looked out the window at the ground beneath me and held my breath as we touched down onto the wintry landscape that was Moscow in December. I closed my eyes and said a short, silent prayer of thanks for a safe trip so soon after the tragedy of 9/11. We exited the plane and found our hosts – both old friends and new – and piled into the two cars that transported our growing family to the apartment we would call home for the next eight days.
The next morning we said goodbye to our three oldest children, our family friend who traveled with us to supervise them during our absence, and our Russian hostess, Ludmilla. We loaded up a station wagon with suitcases filled with humanitarian aid items for the orphanage and made the 150 kilometer drive to Ryazan to finally meet our son and bring him home to his forever family. This was our second Russian adoption from the Ryazan Baby House.
hree years earlier we had made the same trip while I was six months pregnant with our youngest daughter. Once we made it to Ryazan we spent hours at the Baby House getting acquainted with our son, holding him, playing with him, and feeding him, all while crying over the fact that we finally had the opportunity to be parents again. During that first visit we also saw first-hand what happened to those children who aged out of the orphanage without the luxury of finding forever families. Some begged for spare change outside the city's churches. Others worked the crowds that attended the circus. And still others sought help from passengers on the city's various mass transit systems.

The magic of play
Build your kids' imaginations and let them discover the magical world of play by building their own worlds. more
All children learn at their own pace and when they're ready. If your child seems to be learning at a slower rate than her friends, don't panic. Just keep persisting with her and she will get there in the end. Try to keep her interested in reading by using material that interests her - and you don't have to restrict reading to books; try magazines, comics, newspapers for variety.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Because a pedal steel guitar is featured prominently in their sound, The Court & Spark often get pegged as an alt-country band, but nothing could be further from the truth. The steel guitar is just part of a multilayered sound that can include cello, hammered dulcimer, Mellotron, and the percussive slapping of typewriter keys. Progressive folk, atmospheric post-rock, or hallucinogenic slowcore all come closer to describing a style that's utterly unique and instantly identifiable. The band's arrangements always sound wide open, despite all the instruments that go dancing through the mix, while M.C. Taylor's bemused vocals perfectly complement the strange, slightly disjointed feeling of the music. The melancholy spell of "We Were All Uptown Rulers" is balanced by the pastoral "A Milk White Flag," a brief, dreamy instrumental, and the droning folk rock of "Capaldi," which brings to mind early Richard Thompson–era Fairport Convention.

Lies and Deceit Quotes Page 2
How we cite our quotes:

To thee from tortured souls arise.(10-11)
Since no one in the living world understands what's really behind that mask, the speaker needs to call in for some spiritual support. And since those souls are "tortured," we're hoping for speed dial.

Tony Bennett's first Class of 2013 commit is a big one.
Devon Hall, a four-star point guard from Cape Henry Collegiate in Virginia Beach, gave the Cavaliers his verbal commitment Sunday morning after participating in the Virginia "Elite" basketball camp Saturday.
Hall will re-classify from the Class of 2014 to the Class of 2013. This will allow him to play sooner than later, with Virginia not rostering a true point guard after Jontel Evans finishes his senior season in 2013.
The 6'5", 180-pound lefty was ranked 38th overall in the Class of 2014 by Rivals, with ESPN ranking him 41st. Rivals also had him as the top player in the Commonwealth for 2014.
He chose the Cavaliers over offers from Florida, Missouri, Memphis, Georgetown, Miami, Wake Forest, Florida State, Maryland and Virginia Tech.
Hall joins another 2014 blue-chip prospect, B.J. Stith, at Virginia. Stith, Rivals' second-ranked player in the Commonwealth in 2014, has already given his verbal to UVa.
Hall's older brother Mark will be a freshman on the Virginia football team this season.

but the Cruz-Goldman Sachs-Bush connection has been made several times already in the past few days alone. It's well-known at this point, at least on the DP.
That said, I bet if people looked hard enough, everyone here including myself is somehow connected to something 'bad'. Until I see Cruz himself do something 'bad', then I won't hold his connections against him.
Also, what's wrong with climbing the ladder? Is it wrong to want to get ahead in your area of work/study? I don't buy into the 'ambition is evil' philosophy. It's how the ladder is climbed that matters to me.
Anyway, not a fan of guilt by association. Should I stop liking Ron Paul because he's had meals with Ben Bernanke or accepted donations from admitted White Nationalists?
I'm skeptical of Cruz as I am of all politicians (and he's a lawyer to boot! *cringe*), but I'll hold my criticisms for things he himself has done.
A signature used to be here!

Information on Foreign Nurses Working in the United States Under Temporary Work Visas
HRD-90-10: Published: Nov 21, 1989. Publicly Released: Nov 21, 1989.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO studied the nursing industry and how it was affected by the temporary and permanent foreign nursing supply.
GAO found that: (1) nurses' average salaries were generally lower than those for individuals in jobs requiring similar education and training; (2) the shortage of registered nurses negatively affected their work environment; (3) about 400,000, or 20 percent, of the 2 million registered nurses in 1988 were not working in the nursing field; (4) about 70 percent of the 24,400 foreign nurses working under temporary work visas in 1989 were Filipinos; (5) New York and Los Angeles hospital personnel said they will generally sponsor temporary foreign nurses, following a probationary period and achievement of registered nurse status; (6) medical care institutions helped 1,316 temporary foreign nurses attain permanent immigrant status during fiscal years 1985 through 1988; (7) 1,200 temporary foreign nurses in Los Angeles and New York will have to leave the United States if their work visas are not extended beyond 1989; and (8) proposed legislation would allow permanent immigration status without the usual extensive waiting period for immigrant nurses who entered the United States before 1988.

Here's what we have seen
The Nintendo Direct this week announced a bunch of new stages for the New Super Smash Bros game. The most intriguing thing, however, was discovering which stages both versions of the game would be getting. Masahiro Sakurai stated that even when the same stages appear on both versions - such as Battlefield - their designs will differ. Additionally, in the 3DS version, each stage will have two songs tied to it, whereas on the Wii U players will be able to fully customise music form past games in the 'My Music' menu - a feature first seen in Brawl. Sakurai decided not to mention the similarities between both versions; instead, he took us through a number of the stages we'll be seeing for Wii U and 3DS. This article will now discuss what was seen, starting with stages from the Wii U version of the game.
Mario Galaxy - Mario Galaxy series - This 360 degree world takes full advantage of the console's graphical capabilities and boasts a beautiful landscape taken directly from Mario Galaxy.
Pyrosphere - Metroid franchise - Keeping with the typical Metroid lighting, this stage makes players feel like they're fighting on another world.
Town and City - Animal Crossing franchise - Fighting on a large platform in the sky, players get a grand view of the town below.
Boxing Ring - Punch Out! - Set in a boxing ring, players will be able to battle it out in front of a paying audience.
Pilot Wings - Pilot Wings - This stage appears to features players fighting on top of many different air planes in the sky.
Skyloft - Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - This stage is set in Link's hometown in the sky, featuring a moving platform that will journey across the floating island.
Windy Hill - Sonic the Hedgehog series - This stage features the green grassy environment that the Sonic series is renowned for.
Garden of Hope - Pikmin 3 - Featuring a location taken directly from the latest Pikmin game, this stage will features an environment showing-off the attractive graphical style of the games.
Wii Fit Studio - Wii Fit - This very basic stage takes place in the gym from Wii Fit.
Palutena's Temple - Kid Icarus series - inspired by the Temple stage from previous Smash Bros games, this stage boasts a grandness unmatched by all the others.
Halberd - Kirby games - Returning for another round, this stage takes place on a floating platform in the sky.
Reset Bomb Forest - Kid Icarus series - This level looks like a decimated wasteland, with a number of 'Reset Bomb' explosions going off in the background.
3D Land - Super Mario 3D Land - This stage appears to boast a number of moving platforms and relevant, quirky textures from the Mario universe.
Spirit Train - Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks - players will need to be careful not to fall off this fast-moving train!
Gerudo Valley - Legend of Zelda series - This features a wasteland setting with a collapsing bridge in the middle of it.
Arena Ferox - Fire Emblem series - This stage features an octagonal arena with changing environments; similar to Pokemon Stadium from previous Smash Bros titles.
Tortimer Island - Animal Crossing franchise - Set on a small island with a hut in the background, this stage seems to be taking from the unique art style of the games.
Living Room - Nintendogs - This stage seems to use common household items as obstacles, with a dog running around in the background.
Prism Tower - Pokemon X & Y - This stage follows the familiar format whereby players are initially fighting on a level surface, which is quickly turned into a flying platform (similar to the F-Zero stage from Melee).
Rainbow Road - Mario Kart franchise - Involving another flying-through-the-air platform, this stage takes players through the Rainbow Road course. Just watch out for those other racers when you find yourself grounded!
Find Mii - Find Mii - From the game that comes pre-installed on every 3DS system, this stage takes place on top of a castle, above a volcanic environment, with a dragon flying around in the foreground; possibly a boss AI.
Balloon Fight - Balloon Fight - taken from the classic game from the 1980's, this level reverts to the retro graphics of old and features a number of spinning balloons designed to get in players' ways.
Jungle Japes - Donkey Kong series - this mainstay for the Smash Bros games returns with a virtually identical style to before.
Each of the stages was only shown very briefly, but this offered an indication as to how they each functioned. Clearly, we have seen a massively diverse range of stages available for each version of the game and in the future even more will be unveiled. So for more on the New Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS, stay tuned to Wii's World!

Since that time he has served on the Master Planning committee, joined the Governing Council in early 2013, and helped facilitate the building of the Middle School building.

She plays an instrumental role helping lead the Marketing & Communications Committee, leads the Annual Give Campaign for the MPCS Foundation, and assists the Master Planning Committee particularly as it relates to grounds and playscapes. Through serious investigation Gina developed a deep respect for Rudolf Steiner's philosophies, in both education and agriculture, and is very passionate about bringing Waldorf Education to the public school realm. She believes the Waldorf Charter School movement isn't just a trend; it is a concept that will impact the future. She also believes that women should sit at the table and see's herself as bringing a "mother's perspective" to the board room.
Gina has a BA from Bowling Green State University and is pursuing a masters degree in Environmental Leadership. Previously, she had a successful corporate career working in the fiberglass industry for Owens Corning where she lead various assignments in marketing communications, business management and sales.

She's become deeply involved in the world of humanitarian work as a grassroots community organizer and urban agriculture activist. She and her husband host a PBS television series called Urban Conversation which documents environmental leaders across the country in hopes of teaching others about sustainability as they learn themselves. Their most exciting moment as a family has been working in the 1st Lady Michelle Obama's garden on the south lawn of the White House and sharing her very first watermelon.

He and Rachel have raised all three boys with a strong commitment to principals aligned with Waldorf Philosophy. Nathan has a BS in Biology, and has traveled extensively all around the world with extended periods in India and South America. He has significant speaking experience in Spanish, and has studied French and German as well. Nathan is a tradesman, and previously owned a contracting company specializing in natural building, but transitioned out of natural building almost five years ago into internet marketing and business.

Hot answers tagged uploading
There is no direct threat from having Thumbs.db uploaded, even if people were able to download them they wouldn't get any information worth having. It does maybe highlight an issues with your upload process though, this is one of the reasons why FTP is an inefficient way to upload files, extra files that you may not have intended to upload will go up.
First, you need to have something in the Privacy Policy/Terms of Service about what you intend to do. If you intend to file a report with the NCMEC. What information you intend to disclose with/without search warrant, etc. I would recommend that should a User upload a child porn image, immediately make it inaccessible to the general public. You should then ...
MediaFire, FileDropper, Wuala, box.net, and Dropbox all allow file upload and sharing of public download links. See also this comparison of file hosting services on Wikipedia.
I do know flash and yes this is a terrible idea! This is what started all the trouble for myspace with self replicating virus worms. It's really simple, with flash I can get your browser to make all sorts of calls/connections/login to sites/post things as you/etc. It's amazing how much you can pull off a user with flash and report it back to any ...
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It provides a method for passing bulk data to a server. There are a number of tools available that you can use to perform FTP uploads to your hosting provider. A popular choice is FileZilla - a free open source FTP program which has fairly good documentation and is available across most popular platforms. It's ...
You need estimates of how much space this LOT of uploads will take, and how quickly it will grow, and whether you are willing to do it yourself or pay more to have it made. Doing it yourself will get you in the region of: A case with lots of disk bays Server innards Cheap server class SAS disks Maybe £1,200-£2,000 for 4-6Tbs of RAID5 storage with all ...
You might want to start by looking at Amazon S3 as an option for your data storage rather than storing it on your own servers. There are many hosting companies that say they offer "unlimited storage", but if you start filling up a server with terabytes of data, I can pretty much guarantee they are going to shut you down.
Thumbs.db just contains thumbnail information for images. That way when you are browsing with file explorer you can quickly see them. It is not dangerous. It can safely be deleted or ignored.
I still think this file can be threat in some cases. e.g.: it is a security hole when you don't want everyone to know the full image list you have in specific directory the Thumbs.db compromises this information. It stores information about the file names, modification times, thumbnail images can be fetched from it as well.
Personally, I have good experiences with plUpload, from the guys of TinyMCE. User experience is pretty good, considering my very non-technical user base. If you consider paying, the MCImageManager is (IMO) a good choice (same guys).
There is an open source php5 project similar to yousendit that you might be able to get some ideas from: http://zend.to/ This solution works nicely if you are not going over 2GB file uploads, and works okay for larger uploads as long as you are aware of the limitations of http uploads using browsers: Not all browsers support file uploads greater than ...
I had the exact same issue with vsftpd. Error 550 no quota problems, no permissions problems but the error was still there. Uninstalled vsftpd, installed proftpd and everything worked like a charm...
Someone on the Magento forums posted the following as their solution: You have to change both post_max_size and upload_max_filesize in the php.ini And don't forget to restart your server afterwards.
If it's not too complicated, you could make a "screenshot" of it and post that on the page. They can save the image, but not the actual text/content. Another small trick is placing a transparent div over it, disabling the right click for less tech advanced users. You could also make a getMeTheFile.php and use that to get the files. In that PHP file, check ...
We, a London based Advertising Agency, are using a Danish based service called Filecamp to share files and collaborate with our clients. I'm quite sure it comes with unlimited users and bandwidth, it's brandable ... and I think it´s well worth the small monthly fee. Our designers love it and our clients love it! We actually used combination of YouSendit, ...
Put the files outside of the webroot. Then using PHP pass the file though a script. Sample PHP: <?php $file = '/full/path/to/useruploads/secret.pdf'; header('Content-Description: File Transfer'); header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file)); ...
I use VSFTPD on my servers which is easy to configure for real and virtual users, plus its very secure. Open vsftpd.conf file: # vi /etc/vsftpd.conf Set download_enable to NO: download_enable=NO Save and close the file. Restart vsftpd ftp server: # /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
I realize this thread is a bit old, but for the sake of other Googlers: Before you complain that you HTML cannot be uploaded, understand there are about 2 main reasons you cannot upload HTML directly Direct uploading of HTML is forbidden because the DNN CMS strips the tags when viewed in the Article Editor, therefore you lose all formatting if you do ...
No. Setting the directory as non-executable only prevents harmful binaries from being executed on the server. It does not prevent harmful scripts from being executed by the webserver. If I can upload a PHP file, and access it via the web, then the webserver will run it regardless of its executable flag. Additionally, I could upload something that ...
I definitely do not recommend encoding the uploads and storing them in a relational database, that's just introducing a lot of overhead and complexity for no gain. File systems were designed for files :) You definitely want to design this to be flexible, because today you might use your own server, tomorrow AWS, and months from now a CDN. Or any combination ...
Filename filters provide a way to filter out files and directories with respect to both visibility and transfers. http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Filename_Filters
How do I bulk upload photos with either Plogger or Zenphoto? Or are there alternative photo management CMSs that allow for bulk upload?
Wordpress now has multiple uploads into it's media manager. There are quite a few options for auto-generated gallery plugins like this one and you can implement the excellent timthumb script for automatic image optimization. Both of these solutions have worked well for me on several sites. If you relent on an FTP based solution the Grou Random Image ...
Is there an open source solution that I can host on a web server that will allow users to anonymously upload a file to me?
If unbreakable anonyimity isn't an issue and you're using Apache, try creating a page with any php upload script and password protecting it with htpassword. I've used this as simple trick for family members before, if logging in is an issue you could just skip that part. I'd also check hotscripts for other ideas.
I do not agree with the other answers. In some cases this is a low security risk but it could have a hugh impact. It is similar to allow directory browsing. The attacker gets a list of file names that could be really bad if you think about a page like Facebook where images are pseudo hidden by there name. If there would be a Thumbs.db in this folder you ...
I have users that need to upload files larger than 4GB. What's the best way to do this? FTP (SFTP/FTPS) - not http at all
Akamai offers a Content Control Utility (with an API) which could be used to alert its crawlers to content on your servers which needs to be populated to edge caching servers. Presumably the sales guy was either not familiar with some of the technical aspects of his company's offerings or, more likely, he was trying to direct you to a third-party reseller ...
If possible best way to do that is to put your uploaded files outside of your webroot. That way the files won't be accessible by url but your scripts can still access them.
Simple way, download a 10MB/100MB file from here: http://cachefly.cachefly.net/10mb.test or http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test and save on your PC. Then just time the upload/download to the website in question. Say you use the 10MB and it takes 70 seconds to upload. Then the speed is 10/70 = 0.142857 MB/s = 146.2857 KB/s
