Until I can get at least a warning on reads to undefined variables I will never use PHP for anything serious again.
Look into ini_set. Specifically 'error_reporting'.

What's driving your zealous PHP advocacy?
PHP has lots of add-ons that make it very powerful like: PHPExcel for churning out a spreadsheet, TCPDF for creating a PDF, PHPMailer for sending an email, etc. I don't know if other languages have these but they are simple to use in PHP.
It is true you can write a crappy application with security holes like swiss cheese in PHP. But you can do that in any language. If you're going to write 'good' programs there are quite a few web principles like sanitizing input that you MUST learn.
On the other hand, I think one of the flaws of PHP is that it is often co-mingled with HTML. This makes it hard to debug. A better approach, I feel, is to turn PHP on in the first line and don't turn if off until the last line. If you want to send some HTML, use an echo statement. Learn to use loops (for, foreach, while, etc.), give variables meaningful names, and create functions for things you do over and over.
we have a tool from quickbooks that does a thorough uninstall/reinstall, and i mean rigorous should work. pm me and ill try to get it to you.
I have that program too; it's call Dancing_Bunnys.exe. Just download it and rename to Completely_remove_dot_NET.exe and it will fix you right up. Enjoy!
2) if the misuse becomes common then the concept-space itself is lessened by the loss/declarification of the original word, reducing everybody's ability to communicate clearly.
This! This is so true with 'AS' people. "Please listen carefully AS our menus have recently changed". Whatever happen to 'since' and 'because'? 'AS' means everything nowadays.
"AS I'm doing my homework, I listen to music". What wrong with the word 'while'?
The same holds true for the 'myself' people. "Myself and Bob went to town." What's up with that? </RANT>
What you're saying is Linux is more popular if we include installations that are managed by professionals earning $100K+ and installations on devices that are usually customized by a small group of very skilled people to perform a set of specific tasks for "dumb" users. The end users of these systems neither know or care that Linux is powering them.
The desktop is a different matter and penetration figures show it.
Well, here's the problem with hiring unskilled, pointy-clicky admins. If your instance of any service stays inside the GUI coder's box, maybe all is well. But if you need something the GUI coder didn't include then your out of luck. And if you stay inside the box and things still don't work, well the pointy-clicky admin doesn't know what is wrong and has no clue where to begin looking.
I recently looked at a Windows administrator's network and discovered that all traffic, public and private, is on the same wire. He's not using VLANs or anything to separate it. He doesn't understand what a tremendous risk this is. Everything works and that's good enough.
Isn't this just going to get people to sit on their bugs until the prize money goes up again? Obviously not right now, since an increase just happened, but in a few years; it wouldn't surprise me to see a fall-off in the number of bugs reported, followed by a very sudden increase after the next increase.
It's a risk. There's always the possibility that someone else will find the same bug you do and cash in first.
He also has great faith in the ability of the new bulbs to last. He says he has one in his lab that has been working for about a decade.
Which of course doesn't mention the stability of the light output over time or the similarity of this one to the production model, but it's at least theoretically possible.
So he's been sitting on this invention for ten years? Doesn't sound logical when there's money to be made.

Sorry, but "Anonymous Cowards" are not allowed to use the "I" pronoun. There is no "I" there.
Unless you're an "Anonymous Coward" from Apple. You know, iAC? :-)

Giving yourself an Ego boost is one reason why people contribute to OSS projects.
Maybe.
On the other hand, I've benefited so much from open source software that on the rare occasion that I can help, I'm delighted I can 'give' back.

I was just thinking of switching to AT&T. Not anymore.
So, you've chosen the 2nd way to opt-out.

No, silly; it's guys named Patrick that have to pay their ex-wives.
Yeah, that was a nightmare!

Ok, a Java enabled coffee maker; doesn't anyone see the joke potential here?
Is that you, little Bobby?
Last sentence of TFA:

I probably should have read TFA.
You also can break a blood vessel while picking your nose if not done correctly.
All this cloud crap is just the return of the mainframe.
No, it's not. With a mainframe, it's your data on your disks attached to your mainframe managed by your software.
In the cloud, it's your data on their servers, sometimes managed by their software, according to their Terms of Service and mined for their benefit.
Not remotely close.
I sure hope everybody is backing up the crap they keep in 'the cloud'.
So that would be, er.. , ah.. , iCrap?
Not that I endorse using feet or anything...
I use feet all the time. They get me to the car.
When you start a fight it is your fault if the other side tries to rip your nuts off and shove them down your throat.

No. People on LinkedIn are generally not serialkillers. Just sociopaths.
I'm a cereal killer. I drown them in milk. Does this count?

I'm having a hard time getting IE9 installed on my XP Pro Windows.
Yeah, I know. I know.
Thank you Mr. AC. That needed said.
