What's up and coming in PHP6
on
PHP 5.1.0 Released
·
· Score: 2, Informative
If anybody is interested in what is coming up in PHP6 you can read an overview here. Looks like the main push of the next release is to stop people coding things wrong (by depending on register globals and magic quotes). Oh and the small thing about adding Unicode support.
Unfortunately this will probably mean a slower adoption than PHP5 as it is likely to break popular scripts (such as forums, blogs etc) which will mean that Hosting Companies are unlikely to touch it till the script writers update their scripts.
Yes but the majority of people won't shop around - they may already have a host that supports PHP. So they are more likely to say 'I may as well learn PHP'. It's that whole chicken and egg scenario.
I've flicked through this book at work - overall it is a great book but it isn't the best book to learn Design Patterns with. I would suggest "Head First Design Patterns" by Freeman and Freeman.
The examples are in Java but it should be fairly easy to port the patterns over to PHP (plus it will build up your experience with PHP5 Object-Orientated programming).

You're forgetting that there are far more web hosts providing PHP than Ruby / Ruby On Rails. I am currently learning Ruby and Rails at the moment and did a quick trawl of web hosts forums and in every support forum that asked for possible support for Rails there was just the question "What is Rails?". PHP on the other hand is well known and has a lot of famous applications for it.
If you have control over your own server environment it could well be worth swapping to Ruby & Rails.
If you really want to set up a quick database site then you may as well use SQLlite that comes bundled in PHP5. No need to worry about connecting to a separate mySQL server with all those niggling connections
Yes he hasn't filmed it - he specified on one of the commentaries of FoTR that it wasn't going to happen.
I think he filmed quite a few 'deaths' of Saruman. I saw a Blue Screen image a few years back that had Christopher Lee impaled on some rugged rocks.
I think it is a shame that they didn't realise that the fate of Saruman wasn't going to fit the story all that well in the Theatrical cut of RotK before they finalised the EE of the Two Towers. It would have been much better suited to the end of the Two Towers anyway
Just had a horrible vision of the future - an ageing Jackson, having failed to get the rights to the Hobbit and having released several new editions of LoTR, including the chronological cut, Directors Birthday Cut, Special Edition and Ultimate Edition, decides to loosely base a prequel trilogy on the Silmarillion.
Starring a squeaky 8 year old boy playing Sauron, the future Evil Lord, and featuring stale dialogue, and including several characters from the original trilogy, and also one of the Lizard People whose favourite line is "Issa Dat A Ring"
Obviously, the book is too large to be made into even a three-hour movie, but I found that one large part is missing that I hoped would be covered: the Battle of Bywater. In the book, when Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin arrive back at the Shire, they discover that Saruman and his thugs have enslaved the Hobbits. I have hope that this may be added into an Extended-Edition (probably due out this time next year).
It has been known for ages that the Scouring of The Shire would not be in this film as Jackson felt cinematically that it would be too much of an anti-climax.
He did include a scene in the Fellowship where Galadriel gave Frodo a glimpse to what the world would be like if Sauron won - you saw the Hobbits (including Sam) being enslaved.
The fate of Saruman was dropped from this movie very late on - that will probably be included in the EE, but it will be a departure from what is in the book.

You obviously didn't have a 60Mhz Pentium

But it's not a dupe so the editors are making progress!
They are in the PS2 version but not the PC one
Ahhh but look on the bright side - without a USB key they won't be able to upload their music to your harddrive

Ahh yes but I wouldn't expect editing to occur on Slashdot
And I bet they are all Microsoft Frontpage users ;)
So how many people are designing for your very strange 800x640 monitor?

Ummm SCO....?
you missed out
why I prefer Python 10
Agreed - What will really suit these beauties is a Pentium M
What do you expect it to drive over to the site itself and plug itself in?
Which one?
Does this include the undocumented features that allow a remote user to gain control of my system?
Not to mention you can just go out and buy a cheap keyboard and fit it to a USB port
I tried Openoffice for about 5 minutes before becoming completely lost.
I was trying to write a letter and the lack of an animated paperclip popping up and offering to help meant that I couldn't complete it

The screen will automatically sharpen to compensate for the drunken blurring from drinking excessive quantities of Australian Lager.
