I have used ASP.net and PHP4. I love PHP4 for my personal page and the simple things that I make but for making web pages that feel less like the web and more like a native program, it seems like asp.net has an edge. Does PHP5 attempt to create some of the framework that makes it possible to work with data without page reloads etc... it seems like this is what ASP.net does differently. To me, when I work with some asp.net apps, you load the page once and everything else works in the background without refreshing the page with every submit

Learning PHP 5

PHP4 is to PHP5 as ASP is to ASP.NET? Is that statement correct? What advances does PHP5 make that puts it in direct competition with ASP.NET?
The interesting thing about Singapore is that most of the country's water comes across a bridge from Malaysia. They are in an interesting Military / Strategic dilemma where their dependence on another country for fresh water is a severe national security issue. To be able to recycle waste water and use it for drinking is a huge deal that could lead to aqua independence from Malaysia. If only the US could make gasoline out of CO2!
Microsoft is also lazy for not making a truly multi-user operating system. As a regular / power user of a system, I shouldnt have access to anything beyond what belongs to me! However the software should also take into consideration that I dont want to see false positives from other users of the system. Dont forget that it is beta!
This panic reminds me a little of when Phynd was being shut down at my Alma-mater, RPI. It was just a tool to show you what was already publicly available, but it scared the powers that be because people could find files that were not necessarily intended for them (i.e. exam questions / papers / mp3s / copyrighted materials ) I think the software is still around.
This setup sounds very compelling. I am interested to know what all the drawbacks are as well as what inconveniences the participants experience. I know that when I switched to Voip with Packet8, the price is great but there are some minor inconveniences such as service outages + sometimes bad connections if my girlfriend is accidentally using all our upload bittorrenting TV episodes. Everything cant be only plusses and no minuses. Can any of the participants share their experience?
The victory is not for the terrorists, but rather for the beaurocrats in Washington who want to secure their own power and positions for years to come by taking away power and freedom from those who oppose them. Does anyone really think it will get any easier to oppose the regime in years to come? If you cant beat em, join em I guess.
If my memory serves me correctly, the terrorists on 9/11 had return tickets. So the whole one way thing is ridiculous. If you are willing to die, you arent too cheap to buy a return f*ing ticket.
I am also on this list. I have flown a few times within and out of the US in the past 6 months. Houston -> Boston - RED ALERT! SCREENED Boston -> London - RED ALERT! SCREENED London -> Istanbul - Nothing Istanbul -> London - Nothing London -> Bangkok - Nothing Bangkok -> Sydney - Nothing Sydney -> Cairns - Nothing Cairns -> Sydney - Nothing Sydney -> London - Nothing London -> Boston - Nothing Boston -> Houston - RED ALERT! SCREENED Houston -> Philly (I had no checked luggage and a shopping bag only! -> RED ALERT! SCREENED
I am more of a threat in MY OWN DAMN country than I am when I am a visitor to countries that dislike (put mildly) the US for their "imperialistic attitude toward the rest of the world" (paraphrasing many people I have met outside the US)
I can attest to this. I bought an SKB box and ended up having to cut out part of the back to fit my rack mounted case in. It was way too deep. If I had it to do over again, I would probably not buy the SKB case, even though it was only 100 bucks.
As an intern, I was of the understanding that all of the creation of powerpoint presentations went to me. I am equally disgusted with this new information
I am no expert on how every layer of a windowing system interacts. I do know however that on exactly the same hardware, if I use XFree86 with the Nvidia drivers, instead of Windows XP/2000/98, the screen takes longer to redraw, applications take longer to load up. XFree86 *FEELS* slower than windows. As long as this happens, average people (like me) will feel reluctant to use *nix as their desktop. Why not take a tip from Apple. It should be possible to have a version of XFree86 that takes full advantage of a modern graphics card. I believe that OS 10.2 uses OpenGL for the entire interface?
If slashdot mirrored pages that people want to see, then we might end up slashdotting slashdot. I only load up the page once and then link to all the articles. If you think that one article is approximately the same size as slashdot (possibly bigger if it has screenshots), and I do 4 click throughs per slashdot session. If you can assume that each user would require 5 times more bandwidth... then even slashdot might have a problem.
The duds as described in the thread on OSnews are these, and I will do a copy and paste:
"Yoper doesn't include a working dependency-resolving package manager. Apt is included, but doesn't seem to work; rpm is installed, but the db has no clue what packages you have installed, so you have to use --nodeps, and after the new program crashes because of dependencies, you have to look at the output from the console to see what you are missing, then to rpmfind.net, and on, and on." - posted by anonymous.
Yoper has already been discussed thoroughly in an OSNews feedback thread and it has been decided that a lot of their claims are duds or dont quite work and they dont add anything visually pleasing to the distro. Everything Yoper looks like crap. Dont believe me, check out their screenshots. That Y instead of the K looks terrible.
The edge that mac and windows have over linux is uniformity. You know what you are getting... You have an idea of what the application is going to look like. The reason that people dont use macs more is the cost. Macs are perceived to be more expensive and slower... Less bang for your buck. The issue with linux which so many people tout as the strong point is that there are so many desktops competing for users. There are 2 main standards out there, gnome and kde. This is confusing for most people. Redhat noticed that and made them both look the same.
Nah, they use mySQL, or so it says on the mysql website. Read it here

I picked up a 172t, the big brother of the winner in this shootout and it is awesome I got it for $550 from ecost and everything about it is awesome. Had the writer of this article been able to get his hands on a 172t (which were recently backordered for miles) I am sure that would have won. The clarity compared to other lcds I have seen is awesome. I cant wait until it is worth it to get a new 8x agp nvidia card with dvi.

Its about time RPI was number one in something other than student depression and nothing to do around campus! Go Shirley!

I have tried to access the tool remotely. It appears that it only accepts connections locally on the computer.

Why would they try and make a Y look like a K. You obviously havent looked at the screenshots.
