I use php all the time, but php is more like the old asp than.Net..Net is much richer in exeception handing and allows me to use any language I want. Php is great but not a stab at the heart of.Net. They have nothing like VStudio.
Quote from article:
PHP 5's major new achievements come in the area of its exception handling and a new object that introduces features that bring true OOP to PHP
And my opinion added on: You do not need to use something like VStudio for anything smaller than enterprise sized ASP.net or PHP development. Textpad is more than adequate. I really dont see what u will gain by using some huge IDE for personal development.
You know, for some reason, I feel bad for the IE Developers, who are probably a bunch of well meaning people that are hampered by upper-management decisions.
They did it all for the nookie, the nookie
So you can take that cookie...and stick it up your AHHHHHH! stick it up your AHHHHHHHH!
You dont work at microsoft to write code, you do it for the ladies.
Now, think of what I could do if I had 2 extra hands, I could eat pizza, play video games, and browse the internet all at the same time.. not to mention all the other things you guys could come up with
And build a robot girlfriend.
Man these things are cheaper than a mail order bride!

If your data is particularly ammenable to compression (i.e. database data) you could easily get 3 or 4 to 1 compression 3 or 4 to 1 compression is highly unlikely
Assume random data gets 2 to 1 using common algorithms like huffman or LZ (i dont know how to spell their names, so i wont try)
Database data MIGHT be better...but not that much better.
Also consider any files that can easily be compressed like pictures or music or movies will already be compressed.
So im guessing 2 to 1 compression is the best he can hope for, also keeping in mind the length of time necessary to compress and decompress this data, it may simply not be worth it.
Do you believe Coke when they say "it can only call us" and "there's no way to hijack it"? I sure don't.
Yes.
Oh...an explanation you ask?
Well coke could put a little switch between the battery and the electronics in the can so that only turns on once you open it. So this magical can gets discovered, and they have to activate it before anything happens. I dont think you can hijack electronics with no power.
As for "it can only call us"...that could be easily setup.
The only legitimate concern would be some sort of fake coke cans. But then you could do that anytime, not just during a contest, and fill it with anthrax...
One of my favorite parts of following that project log on bit-tech was that he never showed the entire case at once in photos until the end. He would just have those incredible clear and bright close-ups that kept me going back wanting to see more. It is a very impressive case "mod", actually a whole case design, and one of the best done I have seen yet. I wont include a link to MY project log, it pales in comparison.
What makes Gmail incredible and revolutionary is the search features, the amazing interface, the threading, the labeling, and the tried and true "google minimalism."
Getting 1000mB's of space is just a side effect, that's there because gmail makes it desirable to archive multiple entire mailing lists.
Well having a Google quality search service, with a good interface, threading, labeling, and remaining minimal at the same time is kinda like dating 20 year old twins when you are 70. If it was easy, everyone would do it.
As usual Darl et al didn't do their homework. From Korh over at SCOX Yahoo site
" it turns out that EVERY SINGLE company listed on NASDAQ is traded on the 'unofficial regulated market' at Berlin-Bremen.
Note that Darl, during the call, said that these were "unregulated" markets, which is clearly not the case."
Its not easy to waste THAT MUCH MONEY. Theres only so many Linux users you can sue you know...
I would call this "innovation", their stock should be on the rise again soon!
They really should make mathematics more like pokemon, it would get more people interested in the subject
Riemann-chu, I prove you! Then bust out the paper.
HAHA. +10000 funny
Sadly, I can read and understand most of the proof, as a result of my damned math courses....
But I never have to take another math course AGAIN! Ph33r!
So I can look at this, say hmm interesting, and move on.
You know when you buy new italian salid dressing, and the oil and the spices are all separated in different layers? That is what good software architecture is supposed to look like.

I may be naive seeing as I'm only 20 years old and just getting started in the coding field (at my first job programming, I've been here just over a year), but it definitely seems to me that advanced degress != coding ability/work output.
Smart people are not hired for their coding ability or work output. Read the working smarter not harder post.
These guys arent code monkeys who have to code 10,000 lines a day before they get their food stamps. They design advanced algorithms for searching/indexing, etc. It is definitely naive of you to think that people who are more educated would not make use of that, and do more "thinking" than "doing" tasks.
I appologize for the previous joke, its humor or lack thereof is sad.
This does partially make up, however, for the "is that your real name" questions I receieve from the ditzier crowd that thinks it is only a movie title.
Drop the price of a CD to $10 US or even close to $5 US.
It didn't work for DVDs. It certainly won't work for music.
When did DVDs get dropped down to 5$
Give a greater percentage of the money to the artist, and take the costs for the things the label supposedly provides (marketing, production, distribution) out of the label's share instead of the artist's.
I don't see how this has anything to do w/anything. *MOST* people could give two flying shits about the artist and how much money they make. I am one of them. I support free music.
I want to buy Eminem's third ferrari.
Stop treating your customers like criminals. If you treat them like they're criminals, they're going to disregard the law.
They disregarded the law before they started treating them like criminals.
This technology sounds like it will be easy to defeat. You might just have to rip your CDs to Wav and burn a CD from the Wav files instead of a direct copy
*ring ring* The 90's called and they want their technology back.
Why is the recording industry still so focussed on selling these cds in plastic cases that take up way too much room and damage way too easily? I would much rather pay for a harddrive, and a backup harddrive, or some sort of RAID setup, so that my music is always available, digitally. Who really uses CD's anymore? The last thing i want is a big piece of plastic that scratches and skips easily.
Everyone will quickly move to ipod-ish style devices soon anyways...so put away those 8tracks and cassettes and cds and lets go forward here folks.
And ya ya ya you all have your giant collection of CD's and they are so wonderful and you can use them in your car blah blah blah. Put them beside your box of neon colored clothes in the closet, spend 1/100th of the cost of your CD collection and enjoy the world of playlists and pressing random on a playlist of 1000+ songs. Its a brave new world.
Security companies are just reacting to Swordfish...which used the opposite tool...it was spinning cubes that joined together when you successfully exploited the system.
No...when they appeared on MTV cribs and showed us how much money they have and dont deserve.
I think I stopped feeling sorry for musicians when MTV cribs first started...I work harder than them and all 20 of their cars are nicer than mine.
So I download with no shame.

I buy my electricity from 'HydroOttawa'. A lot of people think that it is hydro-electricity they are buying, when really, it is more like 15% hydro. 85% or the power really comes from burning fuels.
Show me some evidence that 85% of the power we get in ontario is from fossel fuels. That sounds like some bullshit to me. Especially considering you say 15% hydro (very low for the ammt of hydro we produce) and do not include nuclear power anywhere in your numbers.
Do not make outrageous claims with inaccurate numbers.
