Or even....: "The credentials carried in an Authorization header field are specific to the User Agent, and therefore have the same effect on HTTP caches as the "private" Cache-Control response directive, within the scope of the request they appear in. Therefore, new authentication schemes which choose not to carry credentials in the Authorization header (e.g., using a newly defined header) will need to explicitly disallow caching, by mandating the use of either Cache-Control request directives (e.g., "no-store") or response directives (e.g., "private")."

Check for an updated version of Flashget, it's kind of normal for memory usage to go up while downloading large files. But it shouldn't go up to the extent to cause your PC to crash.

Hello everyone.
If you're able to add more RAM to the machines you'd have an easier time of it, 2GB is the bare minimum for what you're talking about, especially for those of you using 64-bit, 4GB would be better if the motherboard will handle it. I'm sorry there's not a better answer for you.

I've had such an amazing few months that I didn't believe anything could top it, but I didn't anticipate my gorgeous daughters would announce that they'd be coming back home to spend Christmas Day with me! Oh my goodness, I honestly couldn't ask for a better present.
Of course, I did the typical mum thing of going overboard with daft gifts and bought way too many festive snacks, but nothing gives me more pleasure than being able to spoil my children at this special time of year.
Being able to eat, drink and be merry with the people I love most means everything to me, and today has been wonderful. Such joys are precious and I will never, ever take them for granted. We pulled crackers, wore paper hats, and consumed far too much junk food, but that's what a traditional Christmas Day is all about and it was magical.

Cross-posted from the new ForumCon blog. ForumCon is the only conference dedicated to the business and future of forums and community management and will be held this year in San Francisco on June 19. Follow this link to join us for the day and get a special VigLink 25% off discount!Written by Chad Billmyer, CEO, PanjoBusinesses purchase forums based on trailing revenue and traffic growth. Do you want more revenue and more traffic? Evolve your forum into an ecommerce media giant.In the last few days, VerticalScope agreed to acquire PBNation.com for $1.38M (a paintball vBulletin forum) and Freelancer.com paid $3.2M for Warrior Forum (a digital marketing vBulletin forum). You can grow the value of your community higher than that. To quote the Sean Parker character in The Social Network, "A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool?" A billion dollars.According to BuiltWith, the number of forums powering the top million sites on the web has declined by 33% since 2011. In the face of the decline of Web-based forums, you can still grow the value of your community. Now is the time for you to evolve your community into an ecommerce media business.In a recent interview with Fortune Magazine, Ben Lerer, founder of Thrillist.com, explains, "Now we're at the beginning of Commerce 3.0. Every day you surprise and delight people by showing them interesting things, and then you layer on great storytelling on a daily basis…. People come to your store more often because they never know what they're going to find and what they could discover. When they get there, they spend more money buying the basics that they actually need. It's been four years since we acquired JackThreads, and we've gotten really good into making a reader into a shopper and a shopper into a reader. We will do more than $100 million in revenues this year, and I believe we can be a $1 billion business." [source]This past March, Lerer spoke at the South By Southwest conference in Austin. You can find the slides from his talk, Content & Commerce: The Digital Cronut, on slideshare. There is an excellent recap of the presentation in Publishing Perspectives. In summary, you have thousands of enthusiasts frequenting your site. You have earned their trust. You need to move beyond advertising, subscription, events, and licensing. Says Lerer, "you've got to actually physically sell something to that consumer" to have a chance at that billion-dollar goal.Through his research, Michael Brito, author of Your Brand: The Next Media Company, found that successful media companies shared five characteristics. He shared the five characteristics in an interview with SocialMediaExaminer:
- Storytelling
- Content
- Relevance
- Ubiquitous
- Agile
Perhaps the sentiments of Lerer and Brito are a bit too theoretical or macro for you. You are in the trenches, building and moderating your community and keeping sponsors happy. What is your next step?
- If you don't already have a content management system (CMS) attached to your forum, add one.
- Create a plan for the creation of compelling, original content. Focus on storytelling.
- Identify the ecommerce opportunities within your vertical. Who are the entrepreneurs, small businesses, and major vendors who want to reach your audience? What is the best way for those partners to sell product through your web property. What ecommerce platform will you use to power that commerce?
To help you execute on the three steps above, you can turn to tools and services like RebelMouse, Contently,DivvyHQ, SingleGrain, Panjo, Magento, and others.Returning to the topic of valuation, let's break down the valuations of the aforementioned forums. Warrior Forum's $3.2M acquisition price means that Freelancer.com paid…
- $4.36 per registered user
- $0.44 per thread post
- $2.62 per monthly organic search inbound visit for the trailing month
- $1.23 per monthly visit for the trailing month
- $4.36 per email address
CrowdGather purchased PBNation in 2011 for $2.4M. [source] PBNation's recent $1.38M acquisition price, a decline of over $1M, means that VerticalScope paid…
- $2.08 per registered user
- $0.02 per thread post
- $6.40 per monthly organic search inbound visit for the trailing month
- $1.66 per monthly visit for the trailing month
- $2.08 per email address
Usually, forums are bought and sold between two privately held companies and there is little or no public information about the purchase price. These recent transactions involved publicly held companies and as material transactions, required public disclosure.Forums are not bought and sold based on the metrics above. As stated above, forum acquisitions are based on traffic and revenue. Do you want more traffic and revenue? Evolve your forum into an ecommerce media giant.

There are plenty of chances to dance the afternoon away in Fylde over the next few months.
These photographs – captured by Gazette photographer Daniel Martino – were taken at the first Monday afternoon tea dance of this year, at Lytham's iconic Lowther Pavilion.
Each week, amateur dancers take to the floor and trip the light fantastic at the West Beach venue, at the social event organised by the Friends of the Lowther Pavilion – as part of the organisation's on-going fundraising for the theatre.
Blackpool Tower organist Chris Hopkins provides the musical accompaniment – playing all the old favourites and taking requests from dancers.
The dancing starts at 2pm and refreshments are served during the course of the afternoon.
There are still plenty of chances to get into the swing of things, with the next tea dance taking place on Monday, March 6.
There will be further dances on April 10 and May 8.
Tickets for the tea dance cost £5, including refreshments.

is destroying out culture. Many argue that welfare is necessary
for many families, and that it must not be cut. Some argue that it is giving
starving families the boost they need to make it one more year. This is only
partially true. Yes, we need welfare, but we also need to limit the amount of
time a family can stay on it. By letting families stay on welfare for extended
periods of time, we are only creating a lazy, dependent culture. Mothers figure
that the welfare check will come in the mail, so where's the motivation for
going out and getting a job? There isn't one. This is why President Clinton
signed the welfare reform bill. He knows that the welfare laws need to be
refined, and he has chosen himself as the apostle for this chore.
Many people are abusing welfare in more ways than one. The most common
form of welfare abuse is just staying on it too long, and using it as an income,
instead of a boost. There are worse cases, though, which clearly show the need

Reed Smith Richards Butler's longstanding relationship with UK client Tate & Lyle has gifted the firm's Chicago office a role on a £46m divestment for the company in Mexico.
Tate & Lyle Mexico has sold a 49 per cent stake in Group Industrial Azucarero de Occidente (Occidente) to commodity management service provider ED&F Man Holdings.
A team of six lawyers worked on the transaction with Reed Smith's Chicago-based partners Stewart Dolin, Matthew Peterson and Michelle Moore working alongside Tate & Lyle's Illinois-based in-house lawyers Pat Mohan and Craig Donaldson.
Reed Smith London relationship partner Edward Miller said Reed Smith's continuing geographical expansion had positioned the firm in an optimal place to support the needs of Tate & Lyle.
ED&F Man turned to Mexico City firm Ritch Mueller with partner James Rich Grande-Ampudia leading the team. For local advice Reed Smith used partner Juan Carlos Serra of Mexican firm Basham Ringe y Correa.
The sale remains subject to Occidente's majority shareholders' option to purchase 1 per cent of interest. If Occidente's shareholders exercise this option, ED&F Man would acquire a 48 per cent stake in Occidente instead.
It is also subject to clearance under Mexican Federal Economic Competition Law, but is expected to be completed next month.

When it was about California, I was all, "OOOH! Pretty blondes! Drama! Bad acting! So awful, I can't help but watch it!" I mean, how could you not snicker at these shows?
And then, the networks seemed to be all about New Jersey.
HA! I thought. That's SO not Texas.
And then they came for us.
So, I'd like to clarify a few things:
- If Texas ever seceded and became five different states, Dallas-Fort Worth would become its own state. Not since the fictional TV show, Dallas, has the metroplex had such an indulgent image that happens to come with cattle all around.
- Speaking of... We don't all own cattle. We don't all ride horses. In fact, a lot of us don't live on ranches. If you come to Texas and want to make people watching a drinking game, you should choose to drink every time you see us in a gas guzzler instead of on a farm animal. You will be hammered before you get to your hotel.
- You can really stretch a buck in Texas. If you're impressed by the houses here, know that you'd probably have to add a zero to the end of the price to make it comparable in California or New Jersey. Don't be fooled by that.
- We don't all intentionally have big hair. In my neck of Texas, we have humidity. If you are lucky to live in a humidity-free climate, enjoy the good hair days because it makes my hair grow like some creepy horror film character. I'd like my hair to behave, so I fight it's rebellion with a pony tail. It fights back when I sleep. To keep my hair from getting the upper hand, I refuse to take a picture of it. That's how the hair wins.
I will say there is a whole lot of drama in Texas - and a whole lot of curiosity about this great state. I understand why reality show producers are interested in showing that. But I'd like a little disclaimer on this and, to be fair, all reality shows that it does not entirely reflect the state/city - that it's just a glimpse into the lives these people chose to put on camera. After all, they've learned from California and New Jersey that fighting, cattiness and tears bring reality fame.
That, y'all, is not what makes a Texan lovable. But it might make him/her a few bucks to blow on some tacky boots.

Commenting fixed
Thanks to a helpful reply from someone in the Blogger help forum, it should now be possible to post comments to the blog again. I have changed the comments settings so that comments are now posted in a pop-up window. The problem occurred because I had chosen the option for comments to be embedded in the blog page. The height of the embedded comment window was restricted and preventing some users from seeing all of the comment form. This problem has only recently started occurring, so it's presumably a bug in Blogger, but the workaround is better than waiting for them to fix it.
