True dat. My manager at a radio station has seen the DOS/Novel server running for thousands of days w/o so much as a restart. (Or a backup, I'm working on that though...)
Sorry, I just copied that first bit from him, mistakes and all. I do agree though, he shouldn't really be talking to other people about their mistakes, should he?
Oh. That reminds me. Another time, about 5 years ago, I went to an after school homework center thing sometimes. Well, there were two people on the two computers when someone cut the power to the power switch. What happens when they turn it back on? Both computers (same model) stick out their CD ROM drives and refuse to shut them. So, I'm called over to help... I power down the first machine, remove the CD ROM drive, open it up, and lift up the drive tray disengaging it with the gears. I move it from it's open possision to the closed possision, and close it back up. Wonderfully, it works great. Opens, closes, reads CD's as if it were new. At about this time the person working on the second computer smells smoke. I turn around, see smoke from the CD ROM drive and instantly dash over there, unplugging the power supply. I then try the same little trick on that drive with no luck. It would not open nor close to this day. I'm sure the motor just burned up. Oh well, I tried. And was shocked I got ANYTHING to work.
I keep my laptop crammed in a bookbag I take with me everywhere, and it's starting to show. First off, I have an old nic and the plastic casing on the outside has been comming off for quite a while now. Well, I knew it would happen and it did... the jack (black thing, cord plugs into it, nothing else) came off. I placed it back on the PCB, crammed it down, and it works great. Copied some programs over the network, and I'm happy!
Although i am not one to point out english mistakes in posts all the time please read your post out loud. Try not misspelling easy words like 'wiht'(with) and 'yu'(you). Your first word's letters are mis-aranged. Your second word has no 'o'.
I understood what he ment, even if it wasn't 100% acurate.
Assemble: "Alright, so then the power cord goes into the back of the box, and the outlet. Hmm.... OK. And then all these cords.... OH! They are color coded. OK, then I put teal to teal and purple to purple"......
Build: "Alright. I take the Athlon, slide it in the slot, insert my RAM, configure my drives as slave/master, plug them into the IDE ribbon"......
The story didn't show up on the main page, or any of the sections. This is MORE then on topic! Hell, the person who wrote the story is in this thread a couple times!
Sheash! Talk about someone with too many points and too few braincells. What did he think he was acomplishing?
Interesting. Another story using this same new catigory works fine, though. Not logged in this story doesn't show. Logged in it does. I also have Collapse Sections (show stories from all sections, unless specifically excluded) enabled, mabey that's it. It isn't in a subsection though... so huh. Does everyone else here have collapse sections enabled?
I don't like the word elite. It's too hard to define.
You are a programmer. You are not a good programmer. If your program did something to solve a problem, then it would be worthwile programming. You can make a one line statement in perl to output a line of text but it doesn't make you a worthwile scripter.
You have to make sure to balance simplistic with stylish. Can you imagine anyone using progman.exe as their shell? Personally, I belive explorer did a damn fine job of it.
Yah, I'm working on Addition of small integers after I finnish Pre-cal.
One thing, though I think EVERYONE should learn is trig. If someone can't program an anolog clock that plots lines from 0,0 to X,Y at a standard rate they arn't geeks. (y=r*sin(theda), x=r*cos(theda), theda = (secs/60)*2*pi)
Alright, here's what I do. I'm not sure if it's exactly what you are talking about... but this works for me.
First, I make my image in FireWorks MX, and have it set to split the image up. It's a wavy thing designed to go up the left side of the page, then up and around the top. So, what I design is:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x...... xNav Links Go Herex x Logo.. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xIn Imagex Descriptave Textx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xAddress x x Phone# x xxxxxxxxxx
So, with the exception of the logo, everything is text placed over the BG image. I just make my tables to match the sliced image, and then place the image in the BG of the cell with external CSS sheets (because visitors can change the stylesheet and the look of the border image through the querystring). Works fine for me, as long as I match the number of pixles.
NO. Don't kill Netscape, and only offer Mozilla. Once that happens, people will want more 'features' in mozilla at whatever the cost. That cost will be that Mozilla turns into.... Netscape, and then everyone will use Opera.
Mine. I take great pride in the fact that I wrote my site 100% HTML complient. To be honest, I had to use the parser to help me along, but I've made sure that each and every one of my script-generated pages are HTML complient.
Just parse it, and fix the errors. One thing that caught me off guard was you *can't* use & in an ancor tag. Example:
<a href="comments.pl?sid=5347&op=reply......">
is invalid. Where you would use &, instead use
&
. Also always use ALT. I have few images, and most of the ones I have are non-repeating BG's of carfully created table cells (I've got my reasons) but it is important.
Oh, and I didn't put that ; at the end of my tag up there, Slashdot is messed.
Don't kill frontpage just yet. I disabled all it's automatic code cleaning, insearting id=autonumber shit into tables, and use it soley for three purposes.
One, to make tables quickly, I then re-enter the html and tweek it the way I want... but it's easier seeing everything in front of you then having to mentally map td to possision. I know, not much but it is.
Second, color coding. Forgot a "? Color coding makes writing my HTML so much simpler.
And the final use is writing my external style sheets. I like not having to memorize an entirly diffrent set of data-value pairs for CSS, and it produces compleatly complient and simple CSS pages.
I also enjoy having all my pages tabbed, and being able to quickly switch between HTML and preview modes on the fly.
My HTML is clean, well-formatted, tabbed (each and every thing), uses scripts to pull a header, dynamic body, and footer on the fly for requests, and uses NO formatting, absolutly EVERYTHING is done through external style sheets which can be selected by the user with ?style=cssname. Also, 100% HTML 4.01 Transitional and CSS complient.
I use FrontPage. I write good HTML. Get over yourselves.
What everyone forgets is that with spam, you only get responses from one of about every couple hundred people. There's no way to win those idiot over. And until spammers start getting NO responses, they don't CARE how many inboxes they need to fill to get their 3)Profit! We just need to ENFORCE THE OPT OUT MODEL. If I don't want your spam, chances are pretty damned good I wouldn't buy from you anyway, so who looses?

due to Win2K's crappy manageability
I belive what you ment to say was due to the incompatance of the network administrator or the crappy hardware you are using.

Let's see....
go to google...
Search for "United States" AND (President OR "George Bush") AND Bomb AND Assasinate AND "Mass Terror".
Alright, let's see what th... uh, what are those lights? Shit, pull the CAT5 in the cave! PULL THE CAT5 IN THE CAVE!
Yah, I'm working on Addition of small integers after I finnish Pre-cal.

Sure. It's in development, and because of some things, I don't want to make it public quite yet...
E-Mail me @ Matt at MattCohn dot com and I'll send it to you. May take a day or two.
Interesting. Works fine in IE, Netscape, Opera, Mozilla. Also what I wanted it to do.
