  1. Re:Recommendation on SQL Cookbook · · Score: 1

    i have found that the more books you can read on data Structures the better - they don't even have to be based on things you use it jsut gives you a good refrence..

    It is amazing how much you can optimize things if you know what your doing and can visualize things well..

    only issue i have is that i tend to over design/build things.. which makes them take longer.. but i have never had to restart from scratch to implement something new so it is worth while

    what happens you enter .. the door is open and no one is home.. they come home find you standing there you havn't touched anything.. you say you entered because someone screamed for help and you thought they where inside.. they can't prove that no one screamed and you can't prove that some one did.. if they ask you to leave and you do you are fine.. if you don't you get arestted.. it is really simple.

    In that case does it require you to have permission to enter? if you go over to a friends house and follow him in the door can he go and call the police and have you arrested for trespassing.. there is no sign saying you can enter.. you didn't ask and he didn't tell you to leave.

    now if he tells you to leave and he doesn't he can call the police and they will arestt you.. you can't have it one way and not the other.. a visable sign saing no trespassing means it.. a locked/closed door means it.. but no sign and open door does not mean you can not go in..

    if there is no sign saying no trespassing they have to show that you where trespassing with bad intent.

    if you hear someone screaming for help and the door is open and you enter trying to help you can not be arested because you where trying to help. now if the house is empty and there is no sign and the door is open and you enter.. they have to prove that you entered with bad intent.. you say you heard someone scream help.. they say you didn't but they where not there.. it is one word aginst another.. remember you are inocent until proven guilty.. if they can not prove bad intent then you are fine..

    well if you enter a house in the US and the door is open and there is not a sign saing that you shouldn't be there.. all you have to do is leave when asked to and they can not press charges..

    if there is no sign then it is not trespassing as long as you leave when first asked.

    and if the door is open it can not be considered breaking and entering.

    it is funny how the laws work.. now if you startgoing through the persons stuff that can be an issue..

  21. Re:10 was arbitrary on Unique Visitors = 1/10th of Unique IPs? · · Score: 1

    I realize this is a limitation of Apache.. (they claim it is one of SSL and i do agree to why they are saying that) but (and i am not being rude here) Apache isn't the only web server out there. and many others have found working solutions to this. Apache should (and i know they are working on it) find a way to make it not an issue with their software.

    The web server you run is based on your need.. if you have a need to run 100 virtual hosts off one server with ssl on all of them and you only have one address for it.. Apache might not be what your looking for..

  25. Re:Is this legal in the US ? on Real Life Cash Card Launched To Access Your Virtual Money · · Score: 1

    the reason i label it fake is due to it's backers and the ability for them to instentaniously destroy the curency without any backlash.

    when you compare it to Yen you are close except that Yen is backed by a country and it's people - they are the ones that print it and back it up in the end with goods.

    when you comapre it to gift cards you are close except that they are backed by a company with a leagal obligation to the dept of the card until it is used. When you buy a gift card they put the money in escrow and let it earn them money until it is used then they take the money and pay for the goods.. they can not write the money you give them as income until it is spent on the gift card (that is also why you will see fees if not used in a certian amount of time so that a lost card doesn't stay on the books for ever) and if they ever go bankrupt you could fight and get the balance of the card back

    when you look at the money in games the backers are not the company that creates it with a script or a click of a mouse the woln't give you anything for the money only other people that want it - it has no economic backing - this is why i labeled it fake monen, mabey sudo money would be better but it is defently not on par with anything backed by people with assetts.. now if the game company offers a buy back option for the backing then i would say it could be considered a curency. but not till then.
