		<title>Firefox crashes after logging out from Yahoo! Mail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It happened to me that all the times that I logged out Yahoo! Mail beta, Firefox would crash completely.
Doing some tests I found that the culprit was Firebug extension for Firefox; I simply disabled Firebug for yahoo.com and I haven&#8217;t had any more problems since then.  
Versions:
Firefox 2.0.0.12
Firebug 1.05

		<title>HTML / JavaScript: Focus user on first available field</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So far I haven&#8217;t figured out where is the user&#8217;s caret when entering an HTML page with multiple fields.
With the following code (placed right before the closing HTML tag), the page will load and focus the first text or text area field on the page.

		<title>Disabling PHP&#8217;s safe_mode on Plesk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Plesk, you can disable on a per-domain basis PHP&#8217;s safe_mode.  Before doing this though, be advised that disabling safe_mode could lead to security risks for all of your domains on the server.

		<title>Showing MySQL and PostgreSQL&#8217;s results on expanded or vertical display</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do a lot of development with PHP, and often I need to work directly with PostgreSQL and MySQL&#8217;s client consoles, for schema work or data manipulation.
On both database clients, you can see a result set on expanded or vertical display (the output formatted in rows instead of the usual columns) with the following methods:

		<title>Password protecting subdomains with Plesk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you need to password protect a directory that is hosted under a subdomain with Plesk, you&#8217;ll find that it is not quite as easy as protecting a directory that is avaliable directly from the main domain.

		<title>Blocking connections to ssh without iptables</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On our Internet connected servers, besides using iptables to limit incoming connections, we are using TCP wrappers (hosts.allow and hosts.deny) to reject connections originating on untrusted networks.
Probably you’re already using iptables to block incoming traffic on port 22 (ssh), which is fine but what we want to do is increase security by using a more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Horde 3.0.5 / Plesk 7.5.4 Exploit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Running a check on Apache&#8217;s default logs (/var/log/httpd/access_log), I found attempts to exploit the server thru a &#8220;backdoor&#8221; in Horde.
I haven&#8217;t fully checked what could be done with this exploit but certainly leaving the affected script unprotected is an open invitation for trouble.

		<title>.bo domains not working</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ccTLD operator for BO (Bolivia) domains is having some major technical difficulties, keeping all of its domains unavailable since 7:00 AM (2006-07-19 07:00 -400).  We presume that the problem was originated earlier, with domains stopping to work as early as 1:20 AM.

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re working with web applications that use complex forms, you probably know that it becomes useful to split a very long forms on several pages (keeping interim posts on sessions variables) and process all the received data on a single transaction.  But what happens when a user clicks on the Back button all [...]]]></description>
