So the next question is, why hasn't SLASHDOT used this yet? If the geek website doesn't get it right, you expect the regular news media to get it right?
this is hitting me hard as i'm trying to put together an xml-intensive app and am stuck using home-grown open-source XML parsing and generating packages, mostly unfinished, that won't be finished because they've been superseeded by the php5 libraries that i can't use yet.
This is exactly why I'm switching to Ruby and Ruby on Rails. If I have to rewrite the whole applicatin, I'm going to switch to something better.
but what about code changes dependent on changes to the database schema?
That's the whole point of migrations - they allow you to migrate a database schema up and down quickly to match the code base. (presumably the code base has the migration in it, so it can match the DB) This way you can keep track of the changes during development.
Plus, the migration code will write the SQL for different databases. Quite handy, since the syntax is somewhat different between mysql and postgresql. (and others)
I know this is off topic, but it looks like hell just froze over... Slashdot looks different, so I peeked at the source, and I see all sorts of nice divs, lists, and such. Is this the end of bad html on slashdot?
Call me stupid, but how about a combination: Apply the quick clot, and then continue to apply pressure and bandages to the wound anyway. All the complaints on that page sounded like the people expected to dust it on and see a miracle.
Ok fine. Than as a Christian, prove you are _like_ Christ.
- Treat all people no matter what their sickness or sexual conduct as God's children. - Suspend your criticism of other's sins unless you are without - Put other's well-being before your own - Live a life of spirituality, not wealth - Openly critize the leaders of your religion and texts - Refrain from any anger at any time except in the case when someone is profiting from your religion - Be willing to sacrifice yourself for what you believe in
Lots of people claim to be Christians. How many really are?
Quite true. Many, many people take it as a name, to check off on the polls, and to feel good about themselves. In fact, many people around the world think that the US is a Christian nation, and thus what our movies and TV shows depict must be "christian".
I, in fact, do try to live according to the way Jesus lived, and I think my friends and coworkers would affirm that. Not that I'm perfect, but I do strive to follow Christ's example.
And I am quite saddened when I am lumped together with this other false image of "christianity".
True, RoR is server based, but AJAX requires an interaction between both client and server. RoR includes a javascript component called Prototype, which helps handle the client side of things. In addition, RoR includes many helper functions that help you write the appropriate javascript functions, without needing to know much javascript.
Actually, it's quite faster than reloading the entire page. It avoids quite a few database calls, and simplifies the data flow, and reduces the amount of bandwidth used.
Ruby on Rails has been working on this for some time, at least since the 0.11 release back in March. This is a wonderful technique for speeding up web applications. Browse around the web site, or hang out in IRC, and you will quickly see what all the excitement is all about.
Thank you for a very good description of natural selection. Natural Selection != Evolution. While a change appeared to take place, it was still the same basic species. No change of species was observed; instead, a subset of the species showed predominance due to external factors. In all cases, it was still the same bug.
t seems more likely that when there were more predators only the ugly bugs survived to leave eggs. The others got eaten.
Congratulations, that is exactly what evolution is.
Um.. no. The process described is called natural selection. Natural Selection != Evolution. While a change appeared to take place, it was still the same basic species. No change of species was observed.

Wicked Java, I get. Cool? Doesn't fit in the same sentance as Java.

OOHHHH! cRown! I read that as cLown the first time... lol.
For a window platform, download Instant Rails
Or for linux, install mod_scgi and follow the instructions here
It's stinkin' easy, I can do it in about 5 minutes. Any hosting admin worth their salt can even script it in about 10 minutes.

google for "bio methane farms". It's being done, quite a bit.
Ack! There's got to be a lesson in interface design in there somewhere...
Which is about the same stability as on Windows! *rimshot*
Nice of the moderators to waste offtopic mods on a post that is CLEARLY LABELED as such. Idiots.

'bout time!
and what if they have an email worm that your virus scanner doesn't pick up on yet? Oops!

Just goes to show that 87.563% of stats are totally made up on the spot...

Jeez, where's the "-100 racist" mod option?

Reminds me of a motd I saw when logging into a terminal that ran "fortune":
Are you lysdexic?
I just downloaded 9.2.
Consider it an Exercise for the Reader to rewrite this using Pear:DB
Hmm, or rewrite it in Ruby On Rails, and spend all of 5 minutes doing it.

This clustering solution seems to be "memory only", ie, you have to have a monster server farm, as all data is kept in memory. Not very usefull yet.
If somone can better explain "in-memory storage" and prove me wrong, please do...
