Interesting. They all seem like they are based on the Model View Controller, like struts, and other java frameworks.
One of them has a build.properties file like ant for Java. One had a something.xml like struts-config.xml. It looks more like they have taken the ideas that are already out there for java and copied them to php. It seems like a good idea, but I don't see the benifits of moving from java to php when I have the same functionality available in php that I have in java. I also have lots of gui IDE's for java web coding. I know there are gui IDE's for php, dreamweaver handles both to some extent. So at this point I see them as more of moving toward some sort of equal frameworks. So the real question becomes do you want to code in php or java?
Not to be flamebait, but I'd really like to know. Are there any frameworks in php that compare to jsf, struts, or the tag libs?
In using Java I can create an xml document and xslt and then transform it into all my needed JavaBeans, and then using struts I can create an html page that uses those beans.
The advantage here is that the struts tags automatically fill them selves on error, so when a user submits a form, I don't have to code if ( $foo != null ) {} else {} and fill in the text boxes and check buttons on a form.
Also if I retrienve data from the database, I just convert the data from a result set to xml and then to a hashtable and fill my bean from the hashtable. With the filled bean this data is then automaticaly in the page with no work from me. Since all my beans inherit the ability to convert the xml to a hashtable, its a breeze to deal with database forms.
Currently as a coder I focus on business rules and GUI and not even deal with how things get into the forms.
.. started your job. They need to find out if what they create in their spare time is theirs or the companies. Some companies do that, and say, we own whatever you do for the time that you are here.
Alternately they could f--- their bosses and release pornware;-) and say their bosses made them do it:-O
I've got a metal gear box, and it works pretty well. It has holes on all sides to let air through, and then a stand that you can have it on its side, if you are into that sort of thing. Its worked fine for me, and it was under $40 I think for the enclosure. They are not cheap, or was it $20....
.. some of these 'distros' are not that different. IE: distrob B & C are based on distro A so they are actually just a repackaging of existing distro to make it easier and more friendly, like kbuntu and ubuntu are to debian. Yes there are differences, but they share code and packages.
lets here it for primary colors.. yellow to red.... nice layout, but I'm not a fan of the red...
I wonder if they did any research on usablilty and making it easier to find things..
I'm thinking that this would fall into the aircraft area, not really a car. Wouldn't this be regulated by the FAA then?
So would you need a pilot license or drivers license or both?
NOt to put a downer on things, but what happens if this got into the wrong hands? Wouldn't this be something the military would want? I could definately see its potential use as a weapon. At 350MPH, you could drop a bobm in seatle and be out of there in no time.
but isnt the NYTA a goverment agency? So wouldn't anything that the NYTA have, copyright or not, be available to the public under the freedom if information act then?
Also wouldn't this mean that the maps are actually the property of the tax payers and not the goverment agency? IE: They wouldn't have a transit map or system without those who paid taxes and those who ride the subway.
BTW: most us transit agencies are goverment subsidized, as the fairs do no pay for all of the costs.
I remember a few years ago someone in the bay area started distributing a map of bart with its times. BART now does this for the PDA, I guess they took it over from this guy. I'd think it would actually be in the best interest of the public and the NYTA to take this from the guy and distribute it themselves.
Obviously the NYTA is a bunch of none tech thinkers, otherwise they would have said thanks to the guy for doing them a favor.
Persoonally this is a real waste of goverment to go after this guy IMHO. If people can download the maps to their ipods, pda, phones, etc, don't they realize they may get more riders which means more money?
then we may experience more and Katrina sized hurricanes. I wonder how the relaxed laws on gas wil affect the environment. With more pollutants being released into the atmosphere, it can't be good.
wow.. finally.. I wonder if it is any good. I really hate the default menu's in fedora. If entries are not made for the menu to appear then it does not show certain apps that are installed. Funny thing is that it used to show some of these apps too.
I used to be making more than I am, but since 2001 I am making 20% less. I'm making a little bit more than your salary, but I should be making about 30% more than what you show. At least that is according to salary.com and their numbers.
Its not that difficult to write code that runs in all browsers. Also flash is not installed in 98% of all browser, it CAN be installed in most browsers. IE does not come with flash, that's why Macromedia has a download. Most linux distros have flash as part of the distro, some use the open flash crap that does not work right all the time.
My project requirement, not from me, but management, was NO plugins, NO flash, no Java Applets, period, end of discussion. Since openlaszlo uses flash it is out of the discussion.
Besides it costs me nothing to code in JavaScript, I can do it using notepad or vi. I have to buy a special tool from Macromedia to code flash.
FYI: just because flash is more portable, does not mean it is a better technology. Even if one were to say it is a better technology, it does not mean it will be more likely to be accepted.
Not sure about you, but every computer I have ever used, had to have flash installed manually. Also I have had problems with flash crashing firefox and mozilla, so I removed that plugin.
Lastly, JavaScript is easy to learn. Anyone who knows one programming language can learn JavaScript in a few days. Yes it maybe a little more work to get the JS to work right in IE and Gecko based browsers, but once you learn the differences, its not that hard to code for. 90% of my JS code works in all JS enable browsers, including links (not lynx). Biggest problem I have had is css, not JavaScript.
problem is that that requires flash on the browser end to be installed. While not usually a problem, sometimes it is a requirement not to have ANY client side 'extras' ( applets, flash, plugins ) installed on the client. The XmlHttpRequest, which is really improperly named, it should be the AsyncJsHttpRequest object or something, actually allows me to do updates on a fill out form without refreshing the entire page. There is no XML in my stuff, just a JS onchange make the request, put result in div or span. I was required NOT to use flash or applets or plugins. So I went with JS / HTML and the DOM. Its worked well, and the XmlHttpRequest object is allowing me to take it to the next level.
FreeBSD includes a utiltiy called cdboot, which makes makeing boot cd's really easy. Then in the ports their is freesbie also which makes a cdrom of a freebsd system.
I started there with FreeBSD and have trimmed my cdrom to about 64Meg cdrom, with dhcp, dns, httpd ( to monitor the firewall ) and ssh to make changes when needed ) and it works out well. I can make changes to the system as needed then the next cdupdate I include those changes in the cdrom. Its worked for about 2 years now.
maybe they want to show how screwed up the patent office is by getting a patent on something like making a note from a phone call ( duh ), so that the USPTO will actually reform and fix the situation.
Patent examining is about 10% knowledge of software, and 90% legeal arguments. What programmer wants to write a patent reject document, where they have to reject each claim?
Having fleed the USPTO 8+ years ago, I can tell you I like programming more than patent examining. Its not something most people want to do unless they have a real interest in patent law.
Actually I was hoping this would run on a PDA too. It would be cool if someone ported Konfabulator to Linux, BSD / other UNIX's and and the palm. Or maybe port to gtk+ or some other toolkit which runs under the *nix's.
I doubt a lot of mac users will really care what the CPU is ( Intel / AMD/ IBM, Sun ) vs how it really performs and cost. If Apple can keep its performance the same as with the current CPU, does it really matter what CPU it is? Some people may hate intel CPU. Probably because they associate Intel = MS or Linux and don't like either.
How many people have asked what CPU does the ipod run on? Most people probably don't care, they just think it looks and works really cool, and that's about it.
What about phones. How many people really care what the OS is on their phone? Just us geeks, but most people don't care. Most people buy a phone because of what it does for them. Caller ID, ringtomes, etc.
I don't think this switch is really going to loose them a userbase unless the new hardware performs pretty crapily.
Actually, it would be better to put the no access point poilicy in the company manual, as well as no unauthorized hardware. Once it is in the company manual, it becomes company policy. Then if they have an access point its a matter of pointing to the manual, and saying that hardware is unauthorized. The IT guys can have a camera, to take a picture of the aunauthorized device, and then if the guy / gal tries to sue, show the courts the photo and the policy. Nuff said.

Does this exist for php? ( really I don't know )
Alternately they could f--- their bosses and release pornware ;-) and say their bosses made them do it :-O

Why not just embed the python interpreter in an apache module ....

if ( document.getElementById ) {
var obj = document.getElementById("id_here");
} else {
document.writeln("Your browser is not supported!");
}
This type of coding, has worked for me to be able to support, Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape6.1+, Opera, IE4+, in almost all my JS needs.
Oh and to do stuff even better, do it on the server side where possible.
Actually, it would be better to put the no access point poilicy in the company manual, as well as no unauthorized hardware. Once it is in the company manual, it becomes company policy.
