I had a strange error today. Lukily, a friend of mine warned me about it. I could hardly be aware of it without his help. (Thanks, Iosif!) So...

Why does Drupal 7 throws 404 error (Page not found)?

There could be plenty of reasons, but I guess the reason here is a bit stranger. All urls looked absolutely normal to me. I am using Pathauto with clean urls on. So why only SOME users get the page not found error? While looking at access logs, it seemed absolutely random to me. Of course, I had no 301 or 302 redirection component in case of errors.

I also didn't display a nice and friendly page for 404 errors (I thought I hadn't any). Pretty ignorant, huh? Visitors were discouraged and left away without even bothering to use the search box.

Umbla vorba printre americani ca se incearca tepuirea utilizatorilor de Facebook printr-o reclama care socheaza la prima vedere. Textul tradus suna cam asa: Nu vei mai folosi samponul Head & Shoulders dupa ce vei vedea acest video. 

De fapt nu este niciun clip, ci doar o imagine contrafacuta care arata ca o pictograma de videoclip. 

It's 2 A.M. and your mobile phone rings. You barely wake up and answer. A voice with heavy accent at the other end of the line is telling you:

- Hello, Mr. John! My name is Patel Kapur from Microsoft and we detected a problem with your computer. Will you please install a program we give you to let us fix it remotely?
- F*** off, mate! I'm using Linux.

This fictional dialogue could be real, and if you use some fancy operating system you're a lucky one. However, these pranks use social engineering by guessing you're using Windows, like 80% of the rest.

I'm 100% sure it's happened to you as well. Got a harrasing phone call from an unknown number? Of course you did. But did you think, for goodness sake, to report the scammer's number on a dedicated phone call complaints website?

Most of us use the Internet to search for a missed call or unknown number. If you report a phone call with a short comment, people like you will find out about your previous experience. Eventually, they won't fall into the trap.

One of the newest places to report a disturbing phone call is CallsFrom.com. It's a fast growing community of users who constantly report unwanted phone calls to help the others. Give it a try!

OK, ma asteptam sa faca asta mai devreme sau mai tarziu, adica sa ma dea afara dupa o zi de stat cu 2 laptopuri aici. Dar totusi, prin acest gest, consider eu necugetat, si-au fugarit nu un singur client, ci pe toti cei pe care-i cunosc, pentru ca nu am de gand sa tac. Asadar, pierederea este incalculabil mai mare pe termen lung.

Pai sa vedem niste cifre:

Frații mei români, de dincolo de Prut,

Fac un apel către voi, deși sper să nu fie prea târziu!

După cum probabil știți, în zilele de 24-25 mai 2014, România va trimite în Parlamentul Europei 32 de aleși să ne reprezinte, ca popor, în fața Europei. Este un moment crucial pentru noi să trimitem pe cine trebuie, acum, când suntem la doi pași de posibila legalizare a căsătoriei între persoanele de același sex.
