  1. Re:Maintence must be easier on Yahoo Moving to PHP · · Score: 2
    Sorry, I think like most people on Windows I just want a binary. I'm not about to compile my software, let alone buy VC++.

    I'll stick with MySQL until Postgres does what I want.

    The funny thing is that you're the same person with split personalities. One goes to sleep, the other wakes up. Does the hilarity ever stop? I think not!

    Using a non-php extension for code that isn't intended to be executed directly is the correct way to handle this
    Prove it. It's PHP code. Why not .php?

    1 & 4 are the exact same thing, and like any language such as Perl you can intermingle code and display. The solution in any language is to template, and PHP can do that.

    3. True. PHP's OO sucks arse. That's your only valid point.

    For me, MySQL is more cross-platform than Postgres. I develop on Windows/Linux at work, Linux at home, and then copy it to a Linux server. Postgres doesn't have good Windows support.

    Show me a format that's cross-platform, has the concept of headers/footers and has formatting.

    PDF tends to be smaller unless you have bitmap graphics. That's the rule I've always had. Anyone want to improve on that?

    No, I just picked up on him spaming that message in some threads and got angry at what moderation had become.

  12. Re:Metadata on Grokker Search Engine Provides Visual Search Results · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know, hence my mentioning Dublin Core. What metadata is being used in this search? That's my question. Amazon's system would have useful metadata, but I can't imagine Northern Light having anything of use.

  13. Metadata on Grokker Search Engine Provides Visual Search Results · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Searching using metadata? Are they just name-dropping terms? What metadata is it? If it's just gathered from a page then it's meta description and keywords. I mean, Northern Light doesn't search for Dublin Core metadata does it?

    The only parts submitted to ECMA are C# and the CLI which excludes Windows Forms, Web Forms, and many base libraries which are proprietary and owned by Microsoft. As Nelson would say, HA! HA!

    The ""bug"" is by design to stop page wideners. If they didn't apply it when it was an url the page wideners would just write long and fake urls. Right?

    The resolution only has something to do with the on-screen size when,
    1. You're using 2D
    2. and you're using a popular although crappy desktop system that still uses pixel-based layout.

    If you're not doing both of those then you're fine. Which leaves me doing work with, wel, er...

    I've read that SVCD per disc is only 37-60 minutes. If so that's a heavy weight against recording movies to it and makes me want a hdd.

    That just makes a case for the filename case being preserved, not that filenames should be case-sensitive.

    By this I mean that you shouldn't be able to store both "BECAUSE" and "because" but whatever casing you give should be retained.
