They went more than 3YEARS without driver updates for those cards
Say what you will about drivers in Linux, but at least we're not dependant on Creative to put out a new EMU10K driver. If anything, this shows why we need open source drivers, not just binary drivers. *Stares intently at Nvidia*
I haven't yet read the subject of this book review, but I did find O'Reilly's Programming PHP to be a useful and comprehensive overview of the language. Of course, it was published in 2002, so today I would recommend going with something a little newer. But really, the documentation on http://php.net is excellent -- I'd check that out before spending money on dead tree.
Then you should probably move your demo server off MySQL in that case..:)

Hah, that you would even make that suggestion shows how little real-world design you have done.
Wow, nice attitude. You should try to accept constructive criticism instead of lashing out.
Try making a select box, however you want, that displays results from searching up to 9 different fields, and 80k records. The popup is simply a better method.
The problem is not trying to add that much functionality to a select box, it's about reducing the complexity so that a simple interface is all that's needed.
For instance (using my school's web portal again), to select my current semester, the page opens a pop up window where I select my major. Then, it opens another pop up window where I select my semester. Finally, I select 'Go', and my classes are displayed. There is absolutely no reason my program and semester couldn't be simple select boxes, instead of these complicated pop-up interfaces. Or at the very least, they could use cookies to remember my last choices.
I don't know what your project requirements are, but pushing unnecessary complexity on the end user is always bad design.
Good point, but chances are people aren't going to work their way full the source of a program on the off chance of finding a critical issue. With awareness of a problem, it's much more likely that J. random developer will take a look at it.
Anyway, as another poster stated, this is a problem with the XUL design, not really a coding error. I like the solution of just alerting the user that a website is attempting to run a custom XUL interface, and leave the decision whether to trust the site or not up to the user.
Perhaps my tinfoil hat is a bit too snug today, but this database they're creating would at least give the ??AA a starting point for investigations. I agree they probably wouldn't be able to successfully sue just for something somebody wrote on a website.
Actually, AC, what we they're making is a handy database of IP addresses and specific IP violations. It's one thing for the occasional remark about piracy on/. or other web boards. These remarks are usually too general, vague, and scattered for the industry to bother with.
But if you have a handy web site that specializes in collecting very tangible confessions of piracy, it doesn't take a genius to realize this is either a honeypot or a very tempting target for subpeona for the IP industry. And if you think having bought the CD will grant immunity, think again. In a perfect world, it would work this way. But recent legal rulings have stated that even downloading copies of works you already own is infringemen.
Admitting to copyright violations to some random website doesn't sound like a good idea. How do we know this isn't a honeypot for the ??AA to collect IP addresses?
Nice idea, but I would recommend not posting to it unless immunity were to be granted somehow.
Thanks, I just changed it (too many sig ideas, too little time).. At first I thought of using the * operator then realized that would be the value of 'here', not it's location..;)

People who wear socks with sandals deserve to be beaten with a wet noodle.
This seems to be a valid theory!

P2P has a terrible power.
Do you have DSL in your house?
How many times did they use "child pornography" in that document, 15-20?!
Surely $EVIL_PORN is so evil that it trumps any other concern? No one may argue that we need $TECHNOLOGY, because it could be used for $EVIL_PORN?
It sure makes a pretty good excuse to reduce everyone's rights:That makes me think of the SMB game where Mario has to jump over the giant bullets..
If you design and place a very powerful 2.4GHz emitter
Yeah, good thing the FCC doesn't care about people using powerful homemade UHF transmitters. Oh that's right, they do.
Heh, I read that as PowerPC antivirus software. Gotta love those acronym namespace conflicts..
Intel basically tried to pull a PS/2 with the Itanium.

Micro-Soft? Hmm, that sounds familiar. Oh yes, they made a rather crappy BASIC for my Commodore. Don't tell me they're still around?!

$ which php

Not *just* a hypertext preprocessor, thank you very much.
How about his last article, where he described Groklaw simply as "an anti-SCO website"?
including the processor, oddly enough
Nothing odd about that. DVD decoding takes a non-trivial amount of processing power.
You don't have to be gay to listen to Circuit music. But it helps.
This is one reason it no longer supports MySQL.
Then you should probably move your demo server off MySQL in that case.. :)
My Ikea computer desk is getting wobbly.. hope it doesn't give out!

A quick Google found this site selling them from $1,367, not a bad price.
