Ok, I'll agree that the usual apprach to PHP and the approach taught in the tutorials and the various programming php books does mix them together but there's nothing that forces that approach.
You won't see it in any of my sites.
You'll see code more like:
<? $h = new HTML(); $h->load_from_template('homepage.txt'); echo $h->as_html(): ?>
If you want to mix presentation and data that's your business.
It has come to our attention that you published a portion of our copyrighted material. Namely the lyrics to the popular [but copyrighted] song : 'Happy Birthday To You'.
We would ask that you refrain from repeating this action and ask that you make the best effort to remove such violations made by you.
Should this matter be brought before us again we will demand a license fee payable to Warner Brothers.

well, personally I like to think that I strive to survive causing the least disruption and consumption. The amount of resources dedicated to meat & dairy is disproportionate to the reward.
Factor in de-beaking, veal, live pig boiling @ slaughter, vivisection, plucking live turkeys, burning live pigs with flamethrowers as a test, crash testing cars with live pigs, transporting sheep for 20-40 hours across Europe for slaughter in a lorry with little water or rest, killing rodents for fur and.. and.. and.. and
If I don't speak out, who will? If I don't try and avoid contributing, who will?
My only health problem is crohns disease. A disease linked to the consumption of milk.
The UK health dept. suggests that the nation cust down on its meat intake. Our popluation is regarded to have been at it's healthiest during and just after World War two when rationing was imposed and meat and dairy was in short supply.
Yes, meat is one of the most addictive drugs of all.
I can't deny that the taste and texture of meat is a moutwatering delight but that's not enough for me.
I do wonder how biased the facts are. Take a look around. How many millions of dollars is spent promoting the sale of meat & dairy compared to the few loonies who say 'er, excuse me that might nto be the best idea'. In our schools it was made a legal requirement that children get half a pint of milk a day provided by the state. A policy that might have directly put me in hospital. [I don't know which milk made me ill of course]. "Milk is good for you". How many people can you find that would say that and yet *never* have even looked into the subject themselves because they trust the government.
Do you trust the government to be unbiased?
I can find you a ream of quotes from respected physicians and other top notch scientists on the negative effects of milk & dairy & vivisection. In the end it comes down to who's bias you want to go with.
Eevn if you end up saying that 'well the truth must lie somewhere in the middle' then that raises two points : 1. If the antis gave up speaking then the middle shifts. We try and back up our arguments with science and the voices of scientists because we are constsntly faced with the lie that emotions are no basis for making decisions about the suffering of others. 2. Does a neutral stance justify the factory farming of dairy cows [and other 'food animals']? It is a barbaric exploitative industry.
The bacteria most commonly found (about 40,000 cases annually [in the UK]) are called Campylobacter. These may be present in unpasteurised milk or raw poultry. Birds pecking the tops of milk bottles may infect the milk on the doorstep but in most cases the contaminated food is not identified.
Salmonella is the next most commonly found group of bacteria (about 30,000 per annum). They may be present in raw meat, poultry and occasionally eggs. For the remainder, Staphylococcus Aureus, Clostridium Perfringens and Bacillus Cereus produce toxins or poisons in food which may result in severe vomiting. C. Perfringens is usually associated with meat and B. Cereus with rice.
Some variants of normal intestinal bacteria are a cause of food poisoning. A particularly severe type is caused by E. Coli 0157. It is present in some cattle and may contaminate raw meat. It can cause bloody diarrhoea and kidney failure, particularly in the elderly, but is only rarely a cause of food poisoning.
What moral price is that? Killing a non-sentient being for essential nutrients?
non-essential
My criteria for who deserves death to satisfy my urges goes beyond a test of anthropmorphism.
What else does it kill? I don't understand. High fat foods, primarily meat and dairy products are over consumed in the Americas & Europe leading to health problems and a burdon on the health care systems. The high protein levels in a meat/dairy diet leech calcium from the body causing osteoporosis The production of meat and dairy as a massive consumer of water. As a method of food production it is very wasteful compared to other non-meat means. People starve while we freeze beef and pour milk down the drain. Europe has massive over production of milk. Farmers can hardly give it away. And yet we're awash with the stuff. This waste of money lowers the standard of living of us all. Personally I have crohns disease. A disease linked to the consumption of cows milk. I will require hospital treatment, including surgery [once already], throughout my life. The govt. advertises this poison on TV as some sort of health drink!
Maybe you need a quote:
from here Former Chairman of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University, Frank Oski, M.D. even has a book called Don't Drink Your Milk which blames every second health problem kids suffer on hormone-ridden commercial milk. Sixty percent of ear infections in kids under six years of age are milk-induced, and milk consumption is the number one cause of iron-deficiency anemia in infants today according to the American Association of Pediatrics.
It tastes SOOOOO much better than anything non-meat. Selfish in the extreme. "I'm going to kill and eat you because I like it."
And it supplies the above mentioned nutrients Very badly. Not to mention the growth hormones, preservatives and anti-biotics that you get as the payload.
Would you rather get them in the form that we have evolved to best absorb, or from a pill that is made from a polluting factory? The digestion of meat is a long process. It is my belief that we have not evolved to meat in the volumes we do today. Again witness the levels of heart disease etc. Many people lack the ability to digest lactose. In fact lactose tolerance is only really present in white people, built up from years of poisoning themselves.
And finally, accellerating growth in animals is selfish and can only damage the health of the animals involved. GM sometimes scientists argue that they are just boosting nature. Nature doesn't need a boost thank you very much. We already massively over produce and then destory food. We grow grain to feed to cattle who use most of it to maintain their day to day existence.
It's insane. And the best people can come up with as excuses are "it's natural" and "it tastes nice". Same can be said for crack cocaine. Stay strung out on beef if you like. I kicked the habit.
I suppose there is a good idea behind having a newline prefix rather than a postfix but I suspect it is to make the parsing easier.
Extra cruft life that is tiring on the eyes. The languages I know (programming or otherwise) have postfixes ; or . or even just a \n and when one breaks this convention it is harder work to cope with it.
But that aside, strength to their arm.
To reduce the compile/debug cycle time but maintain the execution speed is a worthy ambition. Plenty of the world is prepared to sacrifice execution time in favour of a reduced cycle time.
Inperpreted languages have been steadliy creeping in this direction. Perl & Python's parrot springs to mind. Even php maintains 'object' files.
One of the downfalls of interpreted web languages is the programmers approach. All over the web are sites that use the same php script to produce *exactly* the same html page over and over again and yet the data that makes up these pages may only change once a day. Certainly, on the most part, pages have more reads than writes (If i use slashdot as an example, it was said that the ration of people who post to people who read is 1:3). On my site I write out my php produce html to local cache files and if nothing has changed I use them. A bit of javascript takes care of rotating your banners.
All programmers should be forced to write code for low memory slow cpu devices long before they are allowed on anything better than a 486:)
for starters I can discern between 60fps and 120fps (but not much higher) but, like being able to tell an mp3 from a wav, it's not something everyone can do.
FPS is also related to response and remember it is peak FPS. Get 15 people filling a nice open zone with plasma and expect your FPS to drop.
The Quake champions I know could tell you the FPS without having it displayed from the responsiveness.
I got a broadcast level digital edit system from www.dps.com for £1500 and that was 5 years ago.
I've masted video on it that was been broadcast on MTV and ITV.
(mines the dps PVR system - it uses a dedicated scsi UW drive and records in m-jpeg, it's a Windows only project. they say that other drivers will never be available because of some licensing issues with Adaptec)
I have, and never will have, any intention of mapping search terms to users but which search terms drive traffic to our site is a vital piece of information for us.
On a serious site search engine positioning is a daily job. Spending $50 on some shareware search engine submission program and running it they day you finish your web site just isn't enough.
The data we get from our refering page information is what helps us keep a top ten google psotion for our chosen key words.
I would guess that 90% of web design houses know next to nothing about web positioning. [which is great news for us:]
many popular leech scripts allow you to set the referer for when you want to leech those cool apps.
If it wasn't for referer the revenue streams of many Internet companies would disappear. And not just annoying stuff like ads and pop-ups.
Knowledge of traffic patterns and their journey is an important part of knowing how to promote your site. You can work with your cross linked sites to best position those links. For us the referer field is just as important as our hit counts, if not more so.

yes, although I'm not part of the 'we'.

Because everything that ever happened and ever will happen is natural.
Do we, as civilised poeple, need to deliberately cause such pain and suffering to our fellow creatures?
