  1. Re:Tried Smarty, switched back to raw PHP on PHP Template Engines? · · Score: 2, Informative
    For instance, I wanted to have "month" and "year" appear at the top of smarty's date select boxes, but you can't do that.

    You didn't look very hard. check out the "year_empty", "day_empty", and "month_empty" options here.

    When you want to do something complex, you have to fall back to {php} blocks. For instance I needed to chunk an array into an array of 5-element arrays, for an online photo gallery type of application.

    Chances are that what you are doing is hardly presentation logic. And if it was...then it probably could of been accomplished using a combination of Smarty functions like cycle and foreach.

    At this point I stopped reading your comment simply because it was clear that you didn't RTFM and with or without knowing it...you are simply trolling.
  2. Re:Curses!! on PuTTY Beta For Symbian OS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Um.... Sony Ericsson T616 isn't a Symbian OS based phone.

    And it is pretty much impossible to write an ssh client for it simply because of the crappy Sony Ericsson J2ME implementation. Sony Ericsson has chosen not to implement sockets so j2me "internet" apps must utilize wap push mechanisms in order to send/receive data.

    If you want a phone that supports sockets look for a phone with a phone that has MIDP 2.0 implemented. I'm pretty sure that sockets is a requirement in MIDP 2 and optional in MIDP 1.

  5. ArcStream's Blackboard toGo! on Handhelds Syncing w/ Web-Based Calendars? · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you go to university you probably have dealt with the Blackboard web application and its various features.

    ArcStream makes a conduit for Blackboard called Blackboard toGo! I have never used the software but it seems to be exactly what you are looking for.

    Again...this all stems on you already using the Blackboard software...(from what I understand most Universities in the states already do)...and you getting your University to use the Arcstream software.

    Note: I am not affiliated with ArcStream Solutions, Inc. or Blackboard Inc.

  7. Trackpad? on Computers/Keyboards + Dorm Room = No Zzzzzz? · · Score: 1

    I've seen numerous keyboards with trackpads built into the wrist rests...

    If the keyboard is quiet enough then that and the non tactile double tap of a trackpad may be a good solution for the noise.

  8. Whats the problem? on Parents Ask If Videogame Rating Bill Necessary? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    "I watch what they play and I decide what they play"

    Um... Then buy the games for your children. This isn't about banning the sale of video games. It's about banning the sale of extremely graphic/violent/adult video games to minors.

    I'm all against censorship, but this is just a good idea plain and simple. Would you want 7 year olds being able to buy movie tickets to NC-17 movies?

    Ok...here come the 16 year old fan boys with mod points to mod me down...
  9. Mistakes easier? on Who Needs Case-Sensitivity in Java? · · Score: 5, Interesting
    It simply makes typing it in harder, and mistakes easier


    easier??? If anything it makes mistakes harder. Java is a very strict language syntax wise and will probably error out on compile if you have a syntax error.

    Now lets think...what would happen if it didn't error out because of case sensitive erors? Wouldn't that make it "easier" to make mistakes?

    What are you talking about?

    Microsoft didn't even include Windows Media Rights Manager V7

    Apparently Microsoft feels that DRM isn't important enough to put on their Mac products.

    According to the review I read, this device only lets you load music through the musicmatch jukebox service- is this their way of trying to enforce DRM?

    QUOTE:
    Another way: Smart Pointers. They're simple wrappers around the types that act like pointers, but they can make sure your objects live as long as you need and no longer. The big trick is knowing which kind of smart pointer you want. - Reference Counting Smart Pointer (RCSP for short): this type of smart pointer will keep of how many RCSPs are pointing to the same object. It'll delete the object when the last RCSP is destroyed. A good one is the boost shared_ptr. Available for free from www.boost.org. This type is great for general use.
