.. I am in pain...
We are using shitbraco in a web site to provide user account management. Nothing more.
It's such a drag to do anything.
I am going to add 3 days to any umbraco work estimate.
Can you add a label there?
Sure, 3 day and half.
Why so long?
Well, it's Umbraco you know, there will be deployment error with the backoffice. Deployment can NOT be automated AND is very tedious (hence error prone) Not too mention this whole sh*t is just so hard to add anything custom in it anyway...
And I forgot to mention it's so damn slow!

Sorry, but their web-site calls it:
"The friendly open source CMS in the cloud. With automated upgrades, unlimited hosting
and smooth deployments, it's the smarter and more productive way to build websites."
So you're obviously wrong.
I love marketing. Say anything you want, so long as it gets people to hand over their money.

Ha, damn, you are right!
How could I be so wrong?!

I hate Umbraco too. It's so FAR from user friendly that I can safely say it's the worst CMS I've ever worked with. It only has TWO positive sides:
1) It's .NET, so you can create code using VS
2) It's Danish!
I'll list the negative sides later when I have a couple of hours months to spare!

To be fair, if NO programmer is involved in the CMS, I think Umbraco is just kind of confusing... (i.e. less worst than i described it)
Although, allegedly, (as if!   ) they position themselves as .NET programmer friendly.
Let me call bull on that!!

Why on Earth do letters keep getting trimmed when I post links here?

Fixed in the earlier post, too.

Now it's fixed, but I have to watch later. Can't watch videos with sound right now (at work)

Darn, it's blocked in the U.S. for copywrite grounds.

Considering where I work, I generally try to avoid breaking any law outside of traffic laws.

Actually, I don't know if there are any laws worth bothering with about using proxy servers, and what have you.

Being that it is "technically" against US common law to share your password for services that you pay for, I figure circumventing copywrite law by piping the content through another country would be equally frowned upon. I figure that they have some sort of regulation about that somewhere. I know that it is simple to do and the chances of being caught are minuscule.

I doubt that anyone has ever been prosecuted for letting other people share their Internet connection -- there are even tools built into operating systems (even on phones) to do just that.

Sharing your internet connection is fine but there was an article here on CP Insider News where a guy was prosecuted under the CFAA for giving his password to a terminated employee without company permission. That set the precedent that if a company/service/website has a policy that you are not allowed to share your password, they can technically prosecute or sue you if you do. If the record companies will sue an eleven-year-old girl for $100K+ in damages for illegal downloads, I would not put it past them suing someone for circumventing copywrite protection by channeling their internet traffic through a proxy. Not saying that anybody will come after me for surfing the internet through a proxy, just that they could if they wanted to.

I found a few links that claimed to be able to verify an email address online. I thought that was interesting so I tried a few. Turns out they do not work. They only verify the domain, not the full email. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Of course they don't work, there is no way they even could.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, no. They definitely work.
Those email addresses are now signed up for a large number of "special offerings".

You can test using telnet and thought that perhaps they were doing that behind the scenes.

Just make sure to read notes 3 and 4 in Petes link.
Catch all gets increasingly common, for spam reasons. To lower the value of spamming lists, and also to make it easier to find spammers.
Which brings us to note four, the most common reason to do this check is to keep your spamming lists updated, it's by some companies considered to be one of the more reliable spammer indicators.
Overuse it and you're blacklisted.
