Re: LastPass vs 1Password Part 2 of 3 – LastPass

It seems that the part #3 is missing. Your article is one of the first on Google for 1Password vs LastPass, I encourage you to complete it.. ;)

Re: Setup A Simple LAMP Server Running WordPress

I realize this post is over a year old, but it still ranks well, so I assume others will find it in a Google search as I did.

There are a number of changes now that CentOS is at version 6. Many you can find by doing a bit of searching, but here is a short collection that may help:

- CentOS no longer include unzip. Include it in your yum command (yum install unzip)
- Same with the setup tool. Include that in the yum call as well (yum install setuptool)
- Once the setup tool is installed, you need to add the firewall settings. (yum install system-config-firewall)
- If you want to have SEO friendly Wordpress URLs (i.e. http://myblog.com/this-is-a-po..., you'll have to activate the mod_rewrite module in your httpd.conf settings:

a. vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
b. Search for "AllowOveride None" It will appear a few times in the file. You want the one under the <directory "="" html"="" var="" www=""> section.
c. Change AllowOveride None to be AllowOveride All
d. Save.
e. service httpd restart

There's a lot more (mySqlAdmin, vsftpd, etc.), but this should get you going!

For a long time I've used the crappy Roboform to store 300+ pwrdz. I couldn't take it anymore. LastPass debut got so much buzz, but that's just one thing I'm not gonna store on the cloud.
I waited till 1Password had their first stable Win version, and bought it. Been using it for a long time. It's a joy. Who uses IE ?? :) Only FF/Chrome. I can store all kinds of sensitive data on it, and its just a shortcut away on any device.
Well off to read part 2 :) good article man !!

I tried doing it for chrome, but when I copied the code into "target", it didn't fit.

We moved to Rackspace Cloud a year ago and never looked back!

It is great value if you are using the Rackspace Cloud Hosting and can use their API directly.

No, however the fact that they mentioned your account was suspended for repeated violations would make me draw the conclusion that you're doing something very wrong.

Your Google AdWords
account has been permanently suspended for repeated violation of AdWords
or Landing Page and Site policies in this or a related account. Learn more ". Does your method violate google adwords? Thanx.

Probably worth removing the "Views" number and date since modification, since it may not be as difficult to trace the "leak" as you think...

I have a regular account, and getting the referrals with your way was easy.
My problem is getting an .edu email to reach the 16gb.

Re: How to: Quickly reach your 32GB bonus space for Dropbox for next to nothing.

Ryan Kearney — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 12:24:38 -0000

No, you will end up with 18.25. The referral bonus is doubled when you have a paid account, so dropping down to a free account will cut you in half. This is what I ended up doing after iTunes gave the ability to re-download previous purchases (since I could free up over 40GB by moving my music folder out of Dropbox without fear of losing music.)

After I reach 82.25gb, I want to cancel dropbox pro50 plan, will my space become (82.25-50) = 32.25?

A3875260 — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 09:13:00 -0000

You're brilliant! Worked like a charm. Got my AdWords account set up 2 hours ago and I have 8GB referral space already!

To be fair a that's probably the policy a a LOT of manufacturers. That's why we have antivirus software :)

While it's outside the scope of what you're doing, it may also be worth considering KeePass and its various implementations.

If you use the older 1.x database, it's available for just about every platform out there (including iPhone, Android, Blackberry, J2ME); using the 2.x rewrite limits you to read-only on some implementations (esp. Android) but adds additional features (there's a feature comparison on the site). There is some kind of browser integration available, but I've never used it so I don't know the details. Note that the 1.x version ("Classic") is not a dead-end, it continues to be supported and updated but its binary file format is essentially fixed so features like history and multiple custom fields are only in the 2.x branch ("Professional") with its XML-based storage.

For portability you can store your KeePass file on a DropBox account, though this does require that you log into DropBox to get to passwords.

I have Opera on W7 64 bit and this worked great.

It would be interesting to know why netflix doesn't allow opera when it works flawlessly.

Glad I could help!

Thanks for the comment.

Whiteangel1853 — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 01:52:39 -0000

Thank you! I had reformatted and now cannot use Chrome. I hate IE too slow. I decided to try out Opera, imagine my surprise when I got to Netflix and find out I cannot watch anything, yet I have paid them for streaming. I used Google and searched and found you. Thank you , you answer was perfect. You Rock!

In short : It's for people who can have all these extra features, but don't want to.

Very good review. BTW which web service did you use to find the latency of the CDNs ?

Sounds like you've done a bit of research, this is what convinced me to use LastPass, a 1-hour podcast about it: http://twit.tv/sn256
