I can't believe it took three pages of comments for someone to mention THPS. It was immersive and free-form in a way that must have inspired GTA 3. I definitely remember walking around after playing and seeing wall-rides, quarter-pipes, and edges to grind everywhere.

Abe Lincoln in his address upon receiving the nomination of the Republican party, 1858.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could better judge what to do, and how to do it. We are now far into the fifty year since a policy was initiated with the avowed object and confident promise of putting an end to slavery agitation. Under the operation of that policy, that agitation has not only not ceased, but has constantly augmented. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crises shall have been reached and passed.
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new, North as well as South.
Lincoln was quoting the Bible, specifically Matthew 12:25.
'And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand'.
You don't add the percentages. Let's buy $100 worth of light bulbs and put it them in the innermost tub. Here we go: 1st bin: 20% off $100 = $80 + $3 for the bin 2nd bin: 20% off $83 = $66.40 + $3 for bin 2 3rd bin: 20% off $69.40 = $52.52 + $3 for bin 3 4th bin: 20% off $55.52 = $42.02 + $3 for bin 4 5th bin: 20% off $45.02 = $36.02 + $3 for bin 5
For a grand total of: Not Free. (39.02 or 33% of the 115 you would've spent) Even if you don't take into account the bin prices, you still will never hit zero, no matter how many bins you stack. Still a great deal, though.
Hey, I agree with you, right up until you say that:
You can't use JavaScript anywhere else.
Mozilla's application interface uses JavaScript extensively and seems to be a very cool way to get cross-platform compatibility. But I hate JavaScript in web pages too.
You can do a simple directory listing in PHP quickly and easily(just copy apache's look and feel for directory listings and add a Delete link after each entry). That delete link will be harder. Make the GET string for each delete link unique to the file that will need to be deleted, e.g. delete.php?file=My%20Word%20Doc.doc, etc., and have delete.php write the file name to a text file you'll read with a cron job.
Now you'll need a cron job to run every hour or half-hour (does the file need to be deleted exactly 48 hours afterward, because that would be harder) and have a perl or shell script read the file names and delete them.
"Show me the album you bought from the shop." And they brought him a CD. And he said unto them, "Whose name you see in the backside of the album?" They said to him, "the record company's". then he said to them, "Then give to record companies what is theirs, and to your ears what belongs to them." (Adapted from Matthew 22:19-21)
What does the ears part mean? If I remember my Matthew correctly (and I very well may not) the quote is: "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's; render unto God that which is God's." Which I read as give the money to Caesar; give your devotion and loyalty to God.
Sooo, I just don't understand how "Then give to record companies what is theirs, and to your ears what belongs to them" parallels. Perhaps, "render Britney unto those who own Britney, but sing your joy unto the Lord."

This is great! It's like that scene in Annie Hall where Woody Allen's listening to some idiot blathering on about Marshall McLuhan and so Woody trots out Marshall McLuhan himself to tell the guy he's a moron.
If you are using PHP in the usual way, that is, to generate dynamic web sites, you need, absolutely need, to use templates. Any other way will eventually be impossible to maintain as your project increases with complexity.
Our department uses a simplified version of PHPLib's template.inc, and I cannot count the number of man hours it has saved us. There're a million reasons to use templates, separate logic from presentation, let Web designers create templates and let Web coders create PHP code, etc., and only one reason not to: ignorance.
From reading the comments to this article, I think we can all safely assume that one in every one reader of Slashdot reviews games for a living, professionally, for like the biggest game mag out there (but I can't say their name, you know, damn legal department).
>Objectivity is not something that I have ever seen in the game press.
Electronic Gaming Monthly. Since when I was a kid (and its issues were 400 pages long), EGM was and still is the only respectable news source when it comes to gaming. That and Acts of Gord are really the only things worth reading for video games.
Yes, it may be 600 bucks, and yes, that is a little excessive for something you didn't realize you needed until five minutes ago. However, Sony understands.
Just pay twice the price spread out over a couple years. You'll be thanking yourself when you're making that final $30 payment on a PDA that was useless two years ago.

Just don't let my girlfriend see this.
Thanks Mr. Kim, you jackass.
Okay, here's what you want:
Directory listing.
Deletion 48 hours after a Delete link is clicked.
You can do a simple directory listing in PHP quickly and easily(just copy apache's look and feel for directory listings and add a Delete link after each entry). That delete link will be harder. Make the GET string for each delete link unique to the file that will need to be deleted, e.g. delete.php?file=My%20Word%20Doc.doc, etc., and have delete.php write the file name to a text file you'll read with a cron job.
Now you'll need a cron job to run every hour or half-hour (does the file need to be deleted exactly 48 hours afterward, because that would be harder) and have a perl or shell script read the file names and delete them.
Hope this helps.
