    You must be snorting DDoS. I haven't seen ANYWHERE except from you that sitespecific.net is hosting them for free. A posting at one point mentioned all the offers to host from all over the country & canada. The same posting said costs ranged from free to approx 3 times nwlinks hosting

  2. Submit to it and SHUT UP on Dealing with Employers Who Perform Credit Checks? · · Score: 1

    Its time to be an adult. If your director or above in a company and you do something stupid in your private life it WILL hurt your company if the press gets to it? If it is a public company I'm sure the board would have someone head if they hired you and something on your credit report could have tipped them off to watch your appropriations closer. Heaven forbid that the company would encourage you take some basic finance courses if they deemed it necessary. If it isn't a right to work state they couldn't fire/not hire you because of it but that doesn't mean they shouldn't assist you in getting help in personal finance.

    If an employee is 10 times their salary in debt then right there is motivation to embezzle. If an employee is 10 times their salary in debt then it is safe to assume that it IS causing a little more stress in their life.

    If there is nothing unusual about your credit report then it will not go beyond the HR person looking at it. There are legal consequences to the company if they don't treat your background screening information as sesitive data and kept private.

    Despite what ppl believe credit information isn't secure nor private.

  3. PPPHHhhhtttt!!! on Testing Products for Web Applications? · · Score: 1

    It isn't bad programming. It isn't lazy programmers. It is called REAL LIFE in a REAL PRODUCTION EVIRONMENT. If there is a programmer today who has followed book instructed design methods to the letter then they are not programmers. They are college professors or working for some governmental instituion.

    One advantage of web applications is so changes can be implemented QUICKLY and CHEAPLY. If I used an includes to build drop down boxes and I changed the core include then EVERYWHERE I included that code I have to test to make sure it won't screw anything up. In the real world your not able to test everywhere when they need the change NOW.

    As well the errors might not be 'true errors' in programming but simply making workflow harder or impossible to do with the new changes.

    If you have a set of screens designed to do A. Individuals start using the set of screens to do B through F with and then the set of screens is modified to do A+1 but that stops B from being used through that set of screens while C through F is several hampered. THAT is what happens with not just web applications but all. THAT is still considered an error by the end users.

    There is never a true replacement of humans from the testing of an application. Data and Workflow issues takes humans to determine the problem

  4. Re:How about Homesite? on Abandonware, or 'Allaire Forums Open Sourced' · · Score: 2

    HUH? I used Cold Fusion Studio (HomeSite + CF Stuff) and it doesn't put a CLOSING in it. Your 'Client' is clueless then for doing this and you sir are Just AS clueless for not realizing that the Homesite product has a completly customizable TAG library for your editing. If it ANNOYS you that much inform then that you can fix their studios so they won't put an incorrect closing tag. Maybe your Just confused about tags.

    Just because ppl can program 'real' languages does not mean they can program for the web.

    Then I guess you found a base for your perl code at Matt's script archive cause if you can't code something in CF that you can program in perl within a week then you must be clueless
