The exact episode was Ouroborus. They fired the head writer, dropped the character "Rev Bem", (actor Brent Stait chose to leave), threw out the character bible for Trance Gemini and didn't both to replace it with anything. Every episode after that one was pretty bad, it was often glaringly obvious that episodes that had originally been written to star another cast member had been rewritten to expand Sorbo's role.
Gordon Michael Woolvett and Laura Bertram were the highlights of the show and with what seems to be a dramatically reduced role in the series after Ouroborus and all touches of intelligence rooted out so Sorbo wouldn't feel dumb, there was no reason to continue watching the show.
One possible reasons is that you don't need to use bind_param in the PEAR DB object. You can just pass an array of the values along with the placeholder equipped $query like so:
$rows = $db->getRow('SELECT FROM blah WHERE id=?', array($id));
Of course the real problem is most likely that most PHP projects write their own DB abstraction layers because they're supporting both PHP 4 and PHP 3.
No, WMP as a standard is very bad for the Internet. Maybe instead of wishing for one company to have their media player installed everywhere, we should wish that every media player could play the same digital compressed audio and video files?
I agree with you and I don't. In an ideal world the police would enforce all the laws, but in the real world they definitely should not.
I would be willing to bet you that there are at least a few laws that are not being enforced where you live and that you would rather have it that way.
It sucks, but because most politicians seem to be such schmucks that they'll write laws that turn everyone into criminals and pass them without thinking about the consequences, the police do need to choose what to enforce and what not to enforce.
The difference is GM won't sue you for measuring the size of the top and making your own replacement. Hell if you found out a lot of people had similar problems you could even go into business making replacement tops for others without any type of lawsuit even appearing on the horizon.
It's not about how long a company is obligated to support it's products, it's about having a company that refuses to fix their products and has the legal right to sue you if you try to do it yourself.
No, the point is terribly obvious to those with pointy-hair:
It's not Microsoft's fault your Windows servers have been hacked, infected and your entire system is down, it's the fault of your IT department for not keeping up to date on the Windows patches. You see Microsoft software is 100% secure as long as you keep up to date on the patches.
I'm not sure whether this is uncertainty or doubt, though.
Except it also says why they think it's cumulative. They subjected the rats to a higher intensity field for 2 hours and they showed the same damage. That doesn't seem to be a very sound basis for that conclusion.
Now if they exposed two different sets of rats one for 24 hours continously and one for an hour a day for 24 days, I might be little less skeptical about their claims.
I prefer to look at in term of time lost. 10 millions spam at 1 second each to delete would be 4 months of people's lives wasted. So any spammer who has sent out more than 30 billion spam (100 years) deserves the same punishment as a murderer, because he's collectively wasted enough time of each of his victims lives to account for one person.
Extredite him to Texas and let the executions begin!
This is a failing of the voting system. You have to choose between voting for who you want to see elected and voting against who you don't want to see elected. I don't think it will get changed any time soon, but I think it's time for some real reform in the voting systems of North America.
Of course, I favour approval balloting because it allows an outside party to build to a point where they can actually win. However, that's also a reason why the current parties will never change the system. They like lock-in as much as Microsoft does.
For an open source web shop check out osCommerce. We use it at work to run two online shops. It uses a MySQL backend and has an active community supporting it.
You're not thinking like a spammer, it won't change things very much. If a spammer discovers different keywords that reach different demographics, what do ou think he'll do? I'm betting he'll just send the spam to every address once for each of the sets of keywords. So instead of half of all e-mail being spam, we'll see a huge jump where half of delivered e-mail is spam and 90% (or more) of all e-mail is spam.
And they have to do it until there's no more spam left... anywhere... Muhahaha!
How's that for giving them an appreciation of exactly how wrong it is.
Also, we'll have to use "negative behavioural reinforcement": everytime they miscategorize an email they get a "therapeutic shock" to "encourage" correctness.
While I really liked that series, Reality Dysfunctin can be a bit of a slog to get through, but the rest of the books more than make up for the slow start.
There are people betting that Darl isn't an idiot or a scam artist. They're buying stock on the chance that he gets a victory and the stock goes up so they can sell it at a higher price. This routinely happens, especially before any major decisive point, because no matter how one-sided an issue may seem, some people are going to think they know the real deal.
I used to work for a Telecommunications company. Several of my coworkers were buying stock in the company shortly before a quarterly release simply because the stock started going up. They figured it was going up because other people knew something. Almost exactly one month later the company filled for bankruptcy protection. My coworkers not only lost their jobs, they also lost a fair amount of money they had invested betting that someone else had insider information.
SCO stock will continue to rise until they are dealt a real defeat. So far they haven't lost anything important.
(On a side note, why the hell do they run those ads AT THE MOVIE THEATRE? I can understand on TV, but when you've already got my 7 bucks, shouldn't you assume that I'm not the kinda guy who downloaded the movie 2 weeks before it came out?)
Because they're ignorant, self-righteous and short-sighted?
Who would be. You trade power and fresh water under a dictator who doesn't often bother you for no power and no water with occasionally contained anarchy.
There's a reason why the Chinese curse is: "May you live in interesting times"
It's not always as easy as it could be. I wanted to upgrade the version of PHP on one of our servers. When I went to compile it, I found out it was incompatible with the version of Apache 2 that we were running. So I started upgrading Apache as well, but the new version of apache wouldn't compile and didn't give any clear indication of why not. After a lot of tinkering and trying to figure out why it couldn't find the Kerberos files, it turns out the version of mod_ssl was incompatible with the version of openssl that was installed, so I had to upgrade openssl as well.
So what should have been a simple upgrade cascaded into multiple upgrades. I've had the same experience when trying to replace an rpm program with a customized version, except in that case I needed to install about 10 other programs to compile the one I wanted.
These are not uncommon experiences when upgrading.
Most pro sports are declining in popularity. Mostly because of poor league structure, overpriced tickets and overpayed players. Especialy when they have the gall to strike on paychecks that among the top 10% and often the top 1% of the country.
All the points remain true. They are over paid for what they do which is usually throwing a ball in some direction. Hwoever, I don't think the world has finished adjusting to the economies of scale that are present in the televised world and the changes of the internet world.
It's all about packing the most viewers into each time slice. And since the same show can be shown to 6 billion people, you pay your performers very well indeed if they catch a significant amount of that attention.
However, the internet's still adapating and growing and changing and so is Television. When more people migrate their attention to specialty channels to streaming content online we should see a reduction in the exhorbitant salaries because they are no longer able to command the attention they once could, under the limited distribution channels of the past.

Yeah, I'm sure you could come up with better names.
FYI: Rev Bem is a joke that stuck, it stands for Reverend Bug Eyed Monster.
Trance Gemini was obviously supposed to be an obvious pseudonym.
Frankly the names never bothered me. Having a bunch of characters named Bob and Bill would.
That one jumped the shark long ago.

Standards don't have to be imposed by monopolies.
It's a good thing the law doesn't contain any provisions pertaining to "presumption of innocence".
I think you may be right. Imagine the horrors of a world where the programmers (univeristy's and fanboy's) choice was... BSD.
The horror! Oh the horror!

Versus no power and water and being shot in the head for no particular reason. It's still a step backwards until the situation is stabilized.
