    Well except for the fact that we wont go into armed combat (danes) - we got like 2 submarines (not those fancy "nucular" ones, but good old diesel powered) - some 16 jets (give or take) and a few thousand soldiers who are more or less going to surrender within a few minutes of combat...

  8. Re:Some Jobs Prevent Working for Competitors on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 1

    Here in Denmark they are very much inforceable, but it doesn't come cheap for the company to enforce it - I just gave my work the one month notice, and they have to provide me with a list of companies that I'm not allowed to do buisness with for the next year. My compensation for that is 50% of my avarege sallery while they enforce it, if they don't provide me of a list then the none competing clause is void and I'm home free.

    Care to point to where it says its invalid in EU?

    My contract has a competing clause and customer clause, and last I checked both where valid, and I live in Denmark.

    Odd I like to think of myself as being part of the set "everyone" but I have no clue about what versions DeadRat is running these days, I threw that away many years ago in favor for Debian and Gentoo and never looked back.

    Just because you think something is obvious it doesn't mean that "everyone" does!

    Heh I thought I was the only one who thought "Teletubbies" when I saw the XP background - in fact I feared being jumped by a teletubbie if I turned my back on the machine.

  18. Re:The keys are the algorithms... on $100,000 Poker Bot Tournament · · Score: 1

    If you got access to a online poker sites database you could run cluster analyzis (Danish here, forgive my spelling) over the set of known plays with your hand and see what they did compared to the outcome, and base your decision on that.

    Then flop comes, redo the cluster analyzis and again base your decision on it.

    You could perhaps factor in some decisions based on propability, but the thing is - poker played with 10 players at a table is a heck of alot different from poker played with 2 players on the table - I'd say statistics is the way fourth.

  19. Re:Could someone compare and contrast it to perl on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 0

    I've been trying to learn perl a few times, but I just cant figure out how the objects work. That is the number one reason why I wont use perl for anything more than a simple hack...

    Ohh and when you come back to a PHP script after af few months (years?) its usually pretty easy to figure out what you where doing/thinking, but with perl, its around 30 minuttes and then I have no idea about what I was doing.

    Ohh, thanks for the heads up - we alwaysed used mysql_escape_string.

    As of PHP5 we've switched to PGSQL - however we still have a few legacy sites, I'll be fixing those first thing.

  21. Re:One of pillars of success: manual on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    This is so true - Been programming PHP for a couple of years. My choise back then was the fact that it was easy to lookup functions and get some user comments/experience. The choise back then was PHP and JAVA, and that really is what took me down the PHP road.

    That being said, I sure miss some stronger types, but you cant have it all...

    (Ohh and today I actually had to make my first JAVA program in years, god that was a bitch to get working.)

  22. Re:PHP vs JSP on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    Thats not declaring:

    $string = " 5";
    $number = 1;
    print $string + $number . "\n";

    Prints out:
    6
    If I told something its supposed to be a string I would prefer the interpreter bitched about it when I tried to use it for something else without explicit typecasting.

    I'm not sure if I'm one of those who gets it or not - I program PHP profesionally (oxymoron?) but I really hate the sloppy types in PHP.

    With PHP5 you can typehint and the OO part has been greatly improved.

  23. Re:PHP vs JSP on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    PEAR is rubbish - only thing good about pear is its way to distribute software - I have yet to see an OO package programmed in an easily maintained way.

    PEAR is just a set of guidelines for programming, and they dont even adress what really makes code unreadable (think functions with a couple of 100 lines of code and several responsabilities).

    If you use PEAR code you wont do high end stuff since your software is busy loading all sorts of drivers it doesnt need.

    Denmark too - Its nice to have consumer watchdogs that works... Or you so one believes - Apple is getting heat around here because the batteries in the iPod dies way too fast, and apple wont fix it without charging for it.

    Contrast that with my muvo^2 - the first one died after 8 months - no question asked they replaced it with a new one (even with extra 2.5GB space). That one just died a week ago and again its off for replacement - now thats good service!
