Wires are not thick. If you REALLY need raised flooring, you can get by with 2x4s.
That said, you could easily run conduit along the top of the walls and just drop down wherever you need to. It'll save you from losing ceiling height. It'll also be easier to access when you want to extend things. Of course this only works as long as everything is going to be next to a wall and doesn't account for a receptionist desk in the middle of your basement.
This years wasn't that bad. I actually played it for 3 minutes before deleting it.
I'd consider buying that Madden 95 sega controller they sell at Wal Mart though. I'm sure they did lots of research and determined that was the last year they put out a good Madden game.
That was my point. I'm specifically referring to sites that might list your site as well as your competitors. You would get the PageRank bonus, but your competitor would not.
Crashing for points sounds and looks cool. I saw them have a couple people play against each other on G4 (yes I'm ashamed I watched it). It would be fun for a little bit like the "push the man down the stairs" game for the PC, but would eventually get boring.
Personally I'm really into Need For Speed Underground 2 right now. I think its the ability to customize your car with something new after every couple races. Plus its fun applying those enhancements to the other cars they have in there and. Just trying to see what little thing you'll get access to motivates you to want to complete the races. I'm still into it after two weeks of playing it - which is rare for me.

Going for an entry level coder position? Make sure you meet the requirement in the job ad. Like having an MBA, 10 years risk analysis experience, and another decade of experience in all the latest programming languages/frameworks. Say you have all that and you'll surely land that $20,000/yr job tweaking the color scheme on their website!
Game obsessed? All the hosts on the G4 shows are TV personality wannabes, but without the whole personality thing going for them. I'm sure they play video games, but I'm sure that they got the job by agreeing to work for peanuts.
Not sure about VNC, but WinPCap is given a low severity rating and the default action is to "Ignore" it. So unless you manually change the action to "Remove", it doesn't hurt anything.
Ok, I will concede a little. It's going to depend on the project first and foremost. I myself have done client-side form validation in the past, and I have also used javascript for lots of stuff on commercial web apps for the company I work for. It usually comes down to part of a design decision on the look and feel of an app.
My initial comment was poorly worded and didn't go into great detail on how/when that should or shouldn't be done. It was meant as an example of "don't go overboard with javascript".
I agree, there are a lot of requests for Flash content nowadays. People like shiny things, and the people signing the checks usually don't care about some techies opinion on what's "right".
I guess it depends on where the submitter wants to go with his career.
Caching? In my experience, most people end up turning it off, even dumb users, because their ISPs had them do it when they would run into problems. Aside from that, how big are your pages where the form is a relatively small part of the overall document? Surely you aren't talking about images reloading as well, because that wouldn't happen if caching was enabled.
Changing it in two places does have to occur unless you're using code generation tools to generate a JS file as well as a file for whatever scripting language you're using. It would be easy to do it in one place if you embedded the javascript at the top of the document. Surely you wouldn't embed the javascript though, otherwise you wouldn't get any effect from that caching.
Bugs, yes. It's trivial stuff, but no coder is perfect. If you think that, you haven't been around long enough. In any case is creates twice as much testing to ensure that both validation routines are working. Server-side validation also lends itself to automated testing.
I don't assume everyone fills out a form correctly the first time. But a form that is laid out well and has clear format hints and uses standard formats, and isn't anal about things just for the sake of the lazy programmer on the backend, then it's not so complex that every user has to perform multiple form submissions.
As for reducing server load and speeding up user feedback, you haven't proved that your method atually accomplishes that. I personally prefer using form that do a round trip over ones that give me javascript alerts. JS validation warning tend to be done through alerts, which are one at a time, and have to be closed to correct the problem. Server-side validation tends to be presented to the user by highlighting ALL problems at once and those warning are available while the user is making corrections.
The JS required to adequately do a form validation is likely larger than the form itself. So you've forced every user to download the equivalent of two pages anyways.
Secondly, whenever you change the validation, now you need to change it in two places, which is just ridiculous. Likewise you've created the possibility of twice as many bugs.
Lastly, if you've designed the form correctly, it should not be that hard to fill out to begin with.
Now, please discuss WHY a single page load is so bad in itself?
I agree, I didn't really differentiate between a developer and designer. Most times when I hear people say "web designer", I just assume they really mean developer.
Although I take "web developer" to mean somebody capable of creating an entire website, both UI and back-end. I know this definition may not be accurate in a human resources controlled environment, but I'm a loner and "web developer" seems an appropriate tag for myself as I do everything.
As for the JavaScript capabilities, I agree. Although how much JS you do comes down to the market you're going after, like you've said. I've written sites that have not used any javascript that are intended for a very broad audience, and I've written ones for corporate systems that used hundreds of K of code.
I wasn't aware of any speed improvement when specifying the doctype. That's actually fairly interesting.
HTML first, you need this no matter what. And learn it right, don't go putting FONT tags all over the place or build nested tables 6 levels deep.
CSS is next. This is what you use to make your HTML look pretty. Memorize all the little things, there aren't that many really.
PHP next. Play around with generating dynamic HTML.
Then MySQL (or other database), and practice creating forms that get saved to a database. I'd recommend spending a good amount of time on this one and learn things like database architecture and how to tune things.
Javacript should probably be last, since you shouldn't need it much, if at all. A lot of sites have a hundred K of javascript code to try and make things "cool". Go for functional, not cool. Things like confirmation dialogs are good. Things like form validate is WRONG - the backend should do that, not the client.
Photoshop is fairly important, but won't get you far unless you know the other stuff. Although you could do this right after HTML and CSS if you want to do some static websites for people. For dynamic stuff, functionality is usually more important than looking pretty is a business environment, but your results may vary. Besides, proper design will let your site look cool without a lot of eye candy.
As for Flash I don't personally like it and haven't bothered to learn it yet simply because I don't have a NEED for it. That's what it comes down to. Flash isn't necessary for web design. If a customer needs it, subcontract it out.
I used to be able to code for 12 hours non-stop when I was 15, which was before I had a job, and before the internet was available to me. I'm 28 now and work as a developer. That 12 minute mark sounds about right.

If there's only 15 for 2003, then why does that secunia link list 44?
Notably, the RedHat and Suse links list a higher number of vulnerabilities, but also state that there are ZERO unpatched security holes.
Surprisingly, the Windows 2003 product still has unpatched holes.

Nevermind - I didn't RTFA. I was thinking it was a parameter on the url itself and not an attribute of the anchor.

True, but what if you added your competitors names to new website lists that popped up, and included the nofollow tag for them.
You're pings are not being routed through a satellite.

When a DNS query goes to an ISPs DNS server, and the entry does not exist, does it go to the root servers?
Secondly, do invalid domain names get cached (I'm thinking not)?
