Did anybody else face the issue that they got a mail from Microsoft asking them to "Try Designer" however once you try to login with your account it mentions: This account doesn't exist.

There is a very interesting typo in the text:

I'd love to hear more about replacing tomcat. Can you lead me to some info material on that topic. In our company we rely heavily on application servers, faster alternatives are always worth checking out.
Re:SoundCloud could be forced to close after $44m losses on Thursday February 11, 2016 @06:11PM (#11084077)
I really love Soundcloud but the "Shuffle" is the only thing I don't like. I am actually planning to design a small single-page one-purpose site for exactly that: A real Shuffle for Soundcloud!
