Three people filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking a new election in Palm Beach County, claiming the punch-card ballot was so confusing that they accidentally voted for Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan instead of Vice President Al Gore
you are correct that ASP isn't a language, but you seem to be searching for the correct way to define it, so here it is: ASP is an ISAPI filter on the web server that interprets any file with a.asp extension. all that means is that it's a DLL (asp.dll) that does the work if a.asp page is requested.
did you have any source control? i sure hope so. Visual Interdev integrates nicely with VSS- you can check files in and out directly from VID. Did you ever need to check the MSDN for help with your ASP? if you have the MSDN installed (which you should if you are working on a fairly large project using ASP/COM), just press F1 in VID and viola, whatever you have highlighted automagically pops up in the MSDN help files.
Or what about deployment? didn't you need to deploy over multiple servers? VID simplifies this process nicely since you connect directly to the web server. hit save and the file is already updated on the server. open up the the test server as a separate project in the same window, drag and drop- bam- you just deployed to the test server.
what about database access? you can browse the db directly from VID without ever opening up a SQL window.
it sounds like you didn't even attempt to use VID for anything more than an HTML editor. forget the autogenerated junk- that's crap. but if you know how to write web code, you shouldn't need or want any of that anyway. VID offers a ton of productivity enhancers if you take the few moments to learn and use them.
first of all, JSP and ASP are not scripting languages. JSP is Java and HTML (not "based on Java". it is Java). ASP is not even a language. It is an ISAPI filter on the web server- a.dll that interprets pages with a.asp extension. The languages used in ASP are scripting languages (Jscript, Javascript, or VBScript). But the next generation of ASP -- ASP+ -does not use any scripting languages. You may choose your programming language of choice (not sure about Java- prob not, but you can use VB, C++, C#, COBOL- and more)
And as far as JSP performance goes, i did not see it mentioned anywhere that JSP pages are compiled into servlets the first time the page is accessed. this means the first page view is extremely slow, but every page hit after that is significantly faster. ASP+ also will compile the pages as opposed to interpreting them on the fly as ASP does.
ASP, in my opinion, is easier to write mainly as a result of Micro$oft's extensive development tools (Visual Studio and it's close ties to MS servers). but JSP can run on almost any web server- with little or no code changes- and it's not that much more difficult to write. And now there is the J2EE spec which claims no code changes are necessary if the spec is followed (from experience this is not true, but *very* few changes were needed to move an app from NT/JRun to iPlanet). I haven't used the other languages mentioned, so i can't speak about them.
what i don't understand is why it hasn't been a big deal that it has already been proven that Carnivore does more than the fbi said. according to this article at securityfocus, Carnivore not only sniffs email, but it can also reconstruct web pages a user views. isn't the whole point of the review to make sure that it doesn't do more than the fbi says (and doesn't violate our rights)?
i'm sure after the review even more lies will come out. even if that happens, is there anything we can do about it? so they lied about what it does, they will still try to prove that it's within the boundaries of the law.
I run Frontier(tm) from Parabon Computation (http://www.parabon.com).
it uses distributed computing to perform cancer research. That's one of the best uses for p2p i've seen so far.
using either voice recognition with a mic plugged into the computer, or vision recognition with a camera that tracks eye movements-- zero movement shopping!! (except for slightly moving the eyes or lips). just say what you want to buy, then say "buy it!", or look at the items, blink once to select, move your eyes to the shopping cart, blink twice to check out. viola! almost no movement. beat that amazon.
Everyone is assuming that the crackers posted this story, not Taco. All it says is the db was cracked, then michael updated the story and said stop emailing us. of course there are the issues of the f'd dates, and first post, and the awful grammar that does seem even worse than Taco's.
who posted this? i guess we'll find out eventually.
why are we still buying cd's when better forms of music distribution already exist? this boggles my mind and my only explanation is that the RIAA and major labels have too much power and won't allow cd's to be replaced.
CD'S SUCK!!. i bought a brand spankin new cd ONE MONTH AGO (after listening to the band on napster, thank you), i take EXCELLENT care of my cd's, and it already skips! and i payed $16 for that?!?!
1. cd's skip if the player shakes
2. cd's scratch way too easily
3. cd's are not (easily) recordable-- my experience with cdr's is that they stink also.
recordable mini discs correct ALL of the flaws of a cd. why haven't those replaced cd's? now mp3's also overcome these flaws but i still like to have a hard copy of the artist's work (visual art and lyrics included). 8-tracks, records, and tapes all have become things of the past. to me it is inevitable that cd's will follow the same path. The fact that superior technologies exist yet don't become mainstream only proves that someone has too much control-- the RIAA? record labels? cd player manufacturers? of course, this rant comes at a time when an inferior OS runs 90% of the world's desktop computers. another example of too much power in the wrong hands.
to check if your outlook settings are safe (info from this web site):
First, verify that Outlook is configured to use MAPI. To do this, open Outlook, then select "About Microsoft Outlook" from the Help menu. If the second line in the resulting dialogue box says "Corporate or Workgroup", you're using MAPI.
Next, verify that Outlook isn't configured to use POP3 or IMAP4. Go to the Tools menu in Outlook, then select Services. If "Internet E-mail" is not listed among the services, you are running only MAPI, and are not affected by this vulnerability.
i agree with what you're saying-- "one voice is small, but one hundred are not." think if several/.ers register and vote, one voice will become part of thousands, not a hundred. it's like the/. effect. notice how many links are broken just because the story was posted here. if there is a strong candidate, or a strong issue, it will be discussed here and people will listen and vote.
this is an interesting point except that when i am napping music, i have several files downloading at once- and it's usually going on in the background at work (like you're not doing the same). i can't be checking music files every 5 minutes to see if i am downloading a real song or not. and i'm also usually listening to other music while the new one's are downloading.
someone else suggested moderation on napster. not a bad idea.
oh yeah, and i think this person totally missed the south park/fingerbang reference.
will someone with any of Orrin G. Hatch's albums please put them on napster quick? then every/.er should go download. if his albums which usually receive "2000 sales" all of a sudden got 10000 downloads on napster... look out lars.
the true power of this language is in its web integration- the ability of any object written in c# to pass data as xml data, and to communicate with any app on any platform.
there has been a focus on c#'s ability to create desktop apps. but M$' new focus is in a direction completely away from the desktop since they realize that that business model will not guarantee them the future of the computing market (which they obviously must try to control). fortunately or unfortunatly (you decide) i think their.NET strategy and c# have the potential to keep them on top for a long time.
if all of their market leading desktop apps are rewritten to save all info as xml data instead of the proprietary office format, which can then be passed around from app to app no matter what the platform, this just might be their best business strategy ever.
and if this is the direction everything is going (every app, every platform able to communicate), M$ is creating a framework called.NET and a language called c# to facilitate this which will only ensure their power in the computing world. and don't forget that cell phones and palms and other gadgets are all part of.NET.
it's basically windows for the web, and the language to program it. love 'em or hate 'em, they're smart.
but that wouldn't be as confusing and difficult to deal with. like the title says, "Typical Microsoft!"
for all practical purposes, no musician plays in c# anyway. maybe no programmer will write in c#- yeah right, M$ could release a new language called "c-crap" and cronies would drool.

if windows was $9.95, there would be no piracy.

Python, Perl: How do you write a serious article about web scripting languages leaving these two out?
the article mentions both python and perl on the 3rd page.
Perl is the mother of all scripting language
the article actually calls perl "The granddaddy of open-source Web programming languages".
