  1. Re:Do any of them assess performance? on Eight PHP IDEs Compared · · Score: 1

    I think I went off on something else instead of addressing the point, but if I remember there are profilers out there both eclipse and netbeans to show where the script is spending most of its time. I think with Netbeans it uses the PHP debugger but there is also another that you can build right into PHP.

    I personally use Netbeans. I dont like eclipse too much, I think its a little more bloated for my needs, but others swear by it. Netbeans just has a lot of the features out of the box where as eclipse you have to download everything and install it but on the other hand eclipse can have more features and plugins than Netbeans. It boils down to what you need. The only concern I have with Netbeans, prior to 6.8, was that after long periods of time running I would notice it was leaking memory and started to slow down.

    If you're pulling dictionary you need to use the whole definition not the parts that only work for your argument. Using Merriam-Websters I also see as the definition of an accident.

    "2 a : an unfortunate event resulting especially from carelessness or ignorance"

    Road rage is the closest thing to terrorist act because the driver is behaving in a manner where they are mostly likely intentionally creating physical harm, but even thats a minority of road rage cases and the majority still fall within the definition of "accident".

    The problem is you are not keeping perspective. You are trying to justify a car crash, which 98% of the time is a unfortunate accident, as a political act to cause fear or to send a message to a country. The difference is one is not intentional and the other is intentional.

    What would make me laugh is if somehow humans were created by time traveling aliens who got our dna and created the first humans based off it. SETI would technically have a hand in self creation. But a galactic emporer named Xenu is much more plausible....

    How often is this important? I can think only of a few situations, such as when fitting a system into a small/cheap flash.

    Its pretty important. When you are talking enterprise servers, I really dont want X running, or the thousand other things Linux has installed. Bare metal does not mean small like putting on a flash drive. I can create a bare metal server through the install options and then add in what is needed as oppose to having to strip it down post.

    When you say pudgy are you talking about those who were athletic build who collapsed because of a heart defect that only manifested itself during peak performance like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? Or you trying to say that fat kids are the only ones who have issues with their hearts. Now the only difference is most parents dont get genetic tests done unless they have a reason to be concerned because they're too expensive to do.

    There is a difference between seeing your kid break his leg from a fall than a kid collapsing from a heart defect that only manifests itself under certain conditions that are hard to test but can prove to be life threatening if not diagnosed or caught in time. Anyone will tell you if you have a heart attack, that every second counts.

    The virtual account numbers are not anonymous. When you use them, all you are doing is providing a short-lived account number that expires after I believe 1 hour. The account is not anonymous so it can be tracked back to you. In fact, when you use it online you still need to provide your name as printed on the "virtual card". I'm sure if DHS made a query citibank, being one of that banks that offer this service, would be able to provide the information without issue.

    You assume too much. You assume based on the word of the victim that no background check was done (which one was done).

    The victim is not out to make an example otherwise he be going after the attacker.

    I bet there is more to the story that is being let on by the victim, since the story contains information from only the victim, but if you want to keep assuming that the victim would never lie, even to get a payday then I have a bridge in new york I'd like to sell you.

    Ding! Ding! you just said it with "Maybe he's not out to punish someone", he wants a payday. Just because the guy didnt get convicted, doesnt mean a civil action couldnt be brought against him.

    No where in the article does it state that a background check was not performed, only the victim says that. If the victim wanted to punish his attacker, he wouldnt sue the company.

    The fact that the prosecutor basically let him off, makes me suspicious that he was provoked into attacking the victim.

    You're absolutely right, if the guy had a history of violence. Since he was not convicted of any crime, its not really a history.

    Just bcause the technician did not get convicted in a criminal case, does not mean a civil action to claim damages can not be filed. As I said before and I'm saying again, this guy just wants a payday as oppose to justice.

    Most companies do a background check, what the parent poster missed was that the victim doesnt know if a background check was run or the results of it. Depending on the offenses and how long ago they occurred usually means the weight they have on the job.

    What most people dont realize is that the prosecution does not give you a deal like that if you have a history of violence.

    As I said before and I will say again, the victim is not looking for justice, he is looking to get money. Otherwise he would have gone after the other guy and not the multi-billion dollar company.

    Did you even RTFA? The victim said verizon should have done a background check. The victim doesnt know if verizon had done so, and if the technician came back with a clean background check. There are some companies that do not fire for one transgression, in this case verizon stated he has done nothing since the incident and since he was not found guilty he was able to keep his job.

    And you want to know why I know this is a lawsuit for money? Because instead of going after the person who assaulted him for damages, he started a lawsuit with the company. If you were out to punish someone for them victimizing you, you dont file suit with the multi-billion dollar company you start with the offender.
