Despite being heavily focused on Microsoft technologies (.NET in particular), DotNetRocks is an excellent radio talk show about everything from software development methodology, to Linux, to the general state of the industry.

The real problem is not so much that the Yukon date has slipped, it's that Whidbey (The next version of Visual Studio.NET and the.NET framework) is slipping with it. For who knows what reason, Microsoft decided that these products must be released together. While Yukon promises some very nice features, most people would much rather have Whidbey released now and live with SQL 2000 for awhile longer.
To top it off, MS is not even going to be releasing any service packs for Visual Studio in the meantime. There are some rather serious issues with the current version of Visual Studio that can only be fixed by calling MS for specific hotfixes. Needless to say, much of the MS developer community is up in arms.
The best all-time mod I've played is Weapons Factory for Quake II. It was an intense, class-based, capture-the-flag gameplay style that I've spent countless hours playing. Quake II was arguably a weak follow up to the uber-popular Quake I, but this mod greatly extended its life.
Freedom should go both ways. By using Freenet, I'm actually giving up the freedom to only trade the information I want to trade from my computer. My personal opinion on child pornography is irrelevent to freedom of speech.
I don't want my node to be used to harbor child porn, offensive content or terrorism. What can I do?
The true test of someone who claims to believe in Freedom of Speech is whether they tolerate speech which they disagree with, or even find disgusting. If this is not acceptable to you, you should not run a Freenet node. There is another thing you can do. Since content in Freenet is available as long as its popular, you can help limit the popularity of whatever information you do not like. For example, if you do not want a file to spread you should not request it and tell everyone you know not to request that specific key. However, keep in mind that freenet is not designed so as to only allow communication between people if a sufficient number of people agree with the communication. Freenet is designed to make communication possible even if there's just one publisher and one reader, and this is already reasonably feasible on the current freenet.
I'm all for freedom of speech. However, I really don't like the idea of my computer being used to trade child porn. By running a Freenet node, I give up control of what information gets shared from my computer. Sorry, but I'll pass.
That's fine and all if you have pages that just display data. However, if want to do anything interactive, like search an employee directory, then you'll need to use dynamic pages. A comprimise might be to cache the data instead of going through the overhead of hitting the database every page load. Of course, this would need to be balanced with the memory available on the server.
Really, this is just getting silly. Slashdot is becoming one of the most unprofessional "news" sites out there. It's one thing to be biased, but another to consistently post false information.
I see a story like this almost every other day. Anything anti-microsoft in particular is posted without even checking to see if the source is valid or reputable. How does one miss that this article (if even real) was written in 1995?
Interesting idea, but they would still probably have to charge a monthly fee. Even if you cut out the cost of the game servers and bandwith, you would still need developers, designers, customer support, etc.
Split() and Join() do exist in ASP 3.0 and I use them all the time. These functions are a part of both VBScript and JScript and are therefore a part of ASP 3.0. Am I missing something?
I must have misinterpreted what you meant when you said "Searching, replacing,...". However, you can do regular expressions with ASP 3.0. If you read my original post again:
Set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Pattern = patrn
Set Matches = regEx.Execute(strng)
More information on this is available on this at the MSDN site
I'm not disagreeing that PHP generally offers more functionality than ASP and can be easier to code at times. I'm just trying to keep the comparisons accurate and fair.
ASP.NET does blow both PHP and ASP (and JSP for that matter) out of the water, though. You should look into it if you get the chance.
Sigh...
Try to do a join() or split() in ASP. Yes, it's doable, but with quite a lot of legwork.
How is this a lot of legwork?
MyArray = Split(MyString, ",")
MyString = Join(MyArray)
How about regular expressions?
Set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Pattern = patrn
Set Matches = regEx.Execute(strng)
Searching, replacing, replacing with code execution, and more? Not gonna happen in ASP, nope
Result = InStr(MyString, "asp")
Result = Replace(MyString, "/.", "slashdot")
having first learned and worked with ASP for 2 years before I got in to PHP, and having now been active in ASP and PHP both for that past two years
For someone who's had four years of experience in ASP, you sure have a lot to learn.
Well, at the company I'm working at, we have one administrator that manages around 45 production Win 2K and Win NT web, database, file, and print servers. Very seldom do any of these servers ever crash and our administrator usually goes home before 4:30. How's that for volume of staff?

Competition. Someone who reuses code is more likely to come in with a lower quote than you on a bid for a project.

This wouldn't happen to be a reference to Netscape Navigator 4, would it?
Apparently, five previous reviews of PHP/MySQL books isn't enough.
