  2. Re:It's Visual Studio .. PHP Editor Galores! on PHP 5.0 Goes For Microsoft's ASP-dot-Net · · Score: 5, Informative

    Need to find a good PHP Editor ?


    All of them (commercial,free,OSS) reviewed and classified: http://www.php-editors.com/

    My personnal (and free) favorite : PHP EDIT: http://www.waterproof.fr/

    Need a PHP Debugger? DBG can do remote debugging and it can be integrated with the PHP Edit IDE, which is very nice : http://dd.cron.ru/dbg/

    Now, who need Visual Studio? Almost every (php) editors now has code insight, integrated help, code completion, skins and whatnot. Hell, I sometimes go back to Notepad for quick fixes because its faster to fire up. But if you said PHP need an IDE, I think that you have not looked around very much.

    Now people start your eng-uh editors and go code some PHP!

    "(for example, you cannot power off an XBox or eject a DVD using the remote) and secondly some DVDs will just refuse to work for no good reason."

    The PS2 currently sold support this feature (eject and power off) In fact all you need is the "new" remote control (about 15$ ) along with it. It has these 2 new buttons + the new PS2's the ir receiver is built-in now and they are dirt cheap, considering the large library of Best seller titles (triple A titles at 20$ a pop) PS2 is still the way to go for games.

    "If you use WinXP or 2003 open the process manager and set the firefox/opera process to realtime, might do the trick."

    Nice, if you accept the fact that the process manageer does not remember these settings once you close the instance of the program or when you reboot. Useless IMO.

    And BTW, about slower loading time for FireFox:

    Just keep it open, that is why they put tabbed based browsing in so you don't have to close your browser each time.

    I don't know about other people, but at work, I rarely close my browser once I fired it up for the first time in the morning. Is the 1/100's seconds more that it takes to open vs IE is really that noticable? I prefer a more secure browser anyways.

    I don't even know a fucking Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me just get this straight. You don't ever tip, huh?

    MR. PINK
    I don't tip because society says I have to. Alright, I mean I'll tip if somebody really deserves a tip, if they really put forth the effort, I'll give 'em something extra, but I mean this tipping automatically is for the birds.

    I mean as far as I'm concerned they're just doing their job.

  11. Maybe not her thing on Programming For Terrified Adults? · · Score: 0

    If all those languages you mentionned didn't do it, then maybe its not her thing and programming is not for her.

    For example : I know people who would love to learn playing guitar but no matter how hard they try, they just can't seem to get it.

    I started with Basic when I was six years old and moved up from there. My say is : If someone is not interrested enough to put the effort to actually learn and read and be studborned about it then he/she just give up.

    If she really want to learn and be good at it then she would have not give up to the first chapters of said books. My take on it: Not for her/too lazy/not interrested enough and nobody can do it for her.

    Sad but true.

  15. Re:Just run Spybot --- No excuses for Sasser on Spyware Becoming Worst Tech Support Problem · · Score: 0
    Whoever wrote Sasser owes me a lunch break, because I had to skip it to deal with infected machines on the line. (Yeah yeah, "You should have patched sooner.)


    Thats what test boxes are used for. You install the patch on the test box and see what happens...

    About the Sasser worm:

    You really should have patched sooner. Eh, if I remember correctly the vulnerability reports appeared on the 13th of April and the exploit came out on the 30th. You had around 15 days to patch your computers and did not do it. Who's fault it is? In that manner, better to get used to skipping lunchtime... What kind of sysadmin are you?

    Regarding Sasser, we where lucky that we had so much time in between the vulnerability reports and the appearance of the worm (the exploit). In many cases it has been much shorter than that. You really have no excuses not to have patched sooner. A good firewall may help too... (it actually prevent the worm to spread itself directly via tcp)

    But since you're relatively new to the field, you (hopefully) WILL learn from these experiences.
