to stop doing things half assed. If they want their businesses to grow then need to invest in good people and good software. So instead of having your secretary write a database in Access, why don't they spend a little bit of money and develop a good database/application.
TechTV started going downhill when they let go of Leo Laporte. I used to be a huge fan of The Screen Savers, and when he left it went down, then when Pat left, it went down more, then with the latest generation it's total crap. So I have cancelled my Comcast Digital Cable which is the only reason I had it... to watch The Screen Savers
Maybe you should check it out. It's not at all what you think.
It's got folders & subfolders! And the ability to get your bookmarks from anywhere(any computer). It can be integrated into Mozilla/Firefox's sidebar, etc. More options than most other bookmark managers.
Sitebar www.sitebar.org. You need LAMP to run it, but it works great for me. It has multi-user accounts so I can setup accounts for whoever I want to maintain bookmarks. Since it's hosted, you can be anywhere. I prefer it because I like to have my bookmarks available whether I'm at home, at work, or at a cybercafe.
also, limit how much money that can be spent on a campaign. it's stupid that we're spending billions of $$ on the DNC, RNC and people's campaigns, yet our national debt is extremely high, there are millions of people unemployed who want to work, and millions of people who are homeless, need healthcare, etc. the list could go on, but instead we're spending all this money on useless things
Do away with the electoral college. Make it based on popular vote. I don't want my state making a choice for me when the majority of my state votes the other way.
I read exactly what he requested. Just because you are inexperience, doesn't mean I can't do it or any other good programmer. Most good programmers have pieces of code from other projects they can incorporate into new projects.
Like for example, when I'm building a system where users/admins need to log in, I have an authentication module I can plug into any PHP code. I also have a PHP template system I use on all my apps which makes it very fast to develop a fully working system very quickly.
Now a basic app, which is what he asked for may not have 1000 features, but it will do what he asked. Be online, database driven, show what tours are available, let users register, let users cancel orders, limit X tourists to each tour.
But for people like you with no understanding of advanced programming techniques would have to keep going back to their manual to find out what every piece of code means, or find out how to do something, so it probably would take you forever to do this.
I've built simple calendar apps like this before, mainly for music bands websites, where the band can log in and post their show schedule, and it will display dynamically on their website. That only took me about 1/2 hour. I'm sure I could do a pretty extensive app in a couple hours(2 or 3).
You said: There is value in convenience and there is value in time.
Actually, it takes you more time to scan and bag your own groceries when you use these carts. After using them for about 3 months I have stopped because it adds at least 1/2 hour to my grocery trip.
I've been using the computer carts at Stop & Shop in Quincy MA(S&S HQ), and they are really cool. When you go down an isle it will tell you what you normally buy, and what's on sale. it will keep a running total of how much $$ your current cart costs, and when it's time to check out, you just walk up to the register, swip your shopper card, then pay.
I just wish they would pay me for doing my own bagging and scanning!!!!!
does this to all their suppliers. That's why they have the lowest prices.
The problem comes when the supplier is doing so much business through Walmart that they rely on them, then when Walmart keeps asking them to reduce their prices, it drives the supplier out of business.

but I'm a pimp :)
and ask for demo models. The company I work at does that all the time. We just purchased a couple new Redline load balancers that way.
Hmm let's see. Maybe because they are separate companies and they want their company to make a profit. Why would they work together?
Did you ever hear of UnitedLinux? They never really succeeded.

1 other point, it integrates into your Sidebar

Any good PHP/MySQL coder could do this in a couple hours work.
UltraVNC, it's works great.
