Whether you choose XSD and/or Schematron depends on what you are trying to validate. XSD is probably the most common validation strategy, but there are limits on what it can validate. If all you want to do is ensure that the right type of data is in each field, XSD should work for you. If you need to assert, for exampl...

Also, the back reference should start with a double slash, to get around PHPs double escaping. This should work (with a quick test): ``` $str = "asdfasdf |123123 asdf iakds |302 asdf |11";...

I think several of the answers hit around the possible solution to your problem. I agree the easiest (and best solution for SEO purposes) is the 301 redirect. In IIS this is fairly trivial, you'd create a site for subdomain.hostone.com, after creating the site, right-click on the site and go into properties. Click o...

Came across this error today. Wondering if anyone can tell me what it means: > > Cannot sort a row of size 9522, which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8094. Is that 8094 bytes? Characters? Fields? Is this a problem joining multiple tables that are exceeding some limit?

In SQL 2000, the row limit is 8K bytes, which is the same size as a page in memory. [Edit] In 2005, the page size is the same (8K), but the database uses pointers on the row in the page to point to other pages that contain larger fields. This allows 2005 to overcome the 8K row size limitation.

Pick your flavour of distributed version control. I like Mercurial, other folks swear by Git and Bazaar. There's no need to make a fake server to put a directory under version control, which, IMO, makes it very ideal for small projects. I'm not sure if any of these have Visual Studio plugins, though.

A nice abstraction on top of Jsch is Apache [commons-vfs](http://commons.apache.org/vfs/) which offers a virtual filesystem API that makes accessing and writing SFTP files almost transparent. Worked well for us.

I use [VisualSVN Server](http://www.visualsvn.com/server) (free) and [Tortoise SVN](http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org) (free) for school, work, hobbies, everything. If you want Visual Studio integration, you can use [Visual SVN](http://www.visualsvn.com/visualsvn) ($49) or [AnkhSVN](http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net) (free).

It seems like the only way to do this is to pass the -i parameter in when you initially run less. Does anyone know of some secret hack to make something like this work ``` /something to search for/i ```
How do you do a case insensitive search using a pattern modifier using less?

TortoiseSVN works great. You don't even need a Subversion server, you can create a local repository through the tool.

What is the best way to sanitize user input for a Python-based web application? Is there a single function to remove HTML characters and any other necessary characters combinations to prevent an [XSS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting) or SQL injection attack?

I can't comment on other source control software but after using VSS 6.0 , StarTeam, Vault and SVN I cannot rate SVN + Tortoise more highly. AnkhSVN is a free plug-in for Visual studio which I personally didn't warm to. Apparently Visual SVN is much better but costs money.
