  1. How about both? Use a database but allow import/export. But if I may suggest, use a standard format. That doesn't have to be XML either. I would suggest Gettext, because it has tools available for all platforms. For a short overview of some of your options, check out the docs for Zend_Translate_Adapter: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.translate.adapter.html
  2. Aside from the fact that some minors are actually less childish than "adults", making it a pretty poor quality filter, a forum like this really has no way to enforce such a filter. As a result everybody gets the benefit of the doubt. I know, it sucks.
  3. Not really. I was actually hoping for a milk carton.
  4. Nothing so spectacular: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/mar2009/tc20090326_604141.htm They just want to lease some servers. Okay, a lot of servers. The rest is pure speculation.
  5. Why do I get the feeling Rose is a rectangular black box in a data centre?
  6. Whoaoohahahaha (or whatever an evil laugh looks like in writing)... Anyway, I assume you know die() for error handling is frowned upon? I count 7 of them. But, without having seen any code from MyBB, I imagine it is a big fat mess as well.
  7. A lot of noise about nothing: "An exception exists where the cookie is "strictly necessary" for the provision of a service "explicitly requested" by the user – so cookies can take a user from a product page to a checkout without the need for consent. Other cookies will require prior consent, though."
  8. Not unless you can now do "foo, bar"->explode(", ");
  9. I hope the future of is more features to make it more strict such as optional primitive type hinting and return type. Being able to turn off fatal errors in favour of exceptions would be nice as well. And being able to flip some switch that will make it require to require exception declarations as in Java. Optional named parameters as in Python. Primitive types actually being objects as in Ruby would be great. Mixins seem useful as well. I've asked myself what I am still doing coding PHP many times though... I guess I am just waiting for the PHP dev team to take the best from all languages (sort of like post WOII Japan did with tech) and add it as an optional feature so you can pick what you like. I know, but I can dream. PHP 5.3 is a major step forward, but the namespace and late static binding implementations could have been better. Specifically I would have preferred packages with visibility instead of namespaces. Closures are nice though. I have hopes of Phar becoming the standard way of distributing and running PHP applications as well. Thread management really isn't that useful for the average web application running in a container that expires after each request. It's useful for the web server though. That said it would be pretty cool to be able to write a PHP application that runs in it's own, persistent container though. Actually this is currently already possible by writing a cli script that's a socket server as well (and a small client that will run in the short lived container). I did so a while ago, but there are so many factors you have to account for that I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than experimentation (it was pretty god damn fast though).

    Music

    I like all sorts of stuff. From romantic to bang your fist the wall to throw yourself off the balcony. Only thing I don't like is Dance, Trance, and everything in that corner, with a rare exception (notably The Prodigy, which is a genre in itself IMO). And of course I don't like *everything* else, just too much completely different stuff to quickly sum up. As an example: I like both Sade and System of a Down. I do seem to have a preference for 90s stuff though. I love Rage Against the Machine. And Sinead O'Connor. And Artic Monkeys. And Mariah Carey's 90s stuff (before the turned into a hoe). Pff, I could go on and on. Lets not.
  11. Only if you return the value. $year doesn't want to be returned. It just wants to be incremented. Okay, I usually use ++$var, but $var++ seems more common thereby appealing to a larger audience (hardly, but I can I dream). Okidoki. Well this was fun. I should get back to work.
  12. I see that more and more often. Considering this a PHP forum, why not "++" (I mistakenly think that's witty though, I even got Christmas cards from the printer with the company logo and "$year++" on the inside -- yeah it's lame, but luckily not everybody will even know what it means, although I guess that just makes it even lamer, oh my god this sub-sentence is way too long)?
  13. WTH does this have to do with Java? And also I stand my previous statement that people using "bad guy(s)" in a non-comical context should be sterilised. Actually I didn't say that yet, but there you go. Lets give evolution a hand.
  14. Well that's what I am talking about. A SMS service provider's gateway usually has a XML over HTTP or SOAP interface. You need a tiny bit of PHP to connect to their server over HTTP, send and receive XML. That's it. No more no less.
  15. More proof computers should be banned totally. Come on, stop these lame attempts at sarcasm. Or maybe I'll join you instead. 28% of US energy is used for transportation. More proof cars should be banned. Lame, eh? Seriously, what are you trying to mock here?
  16. Most SMS services use a simple XML over HTTP interface or SOAP, or both. Either is pretty easy to create a simple client for.
  17. Really. Nuclear powered cars. And they say proponents of renewable energy are being unrealistic. Well, aside from the fact that uranium is rare and expensive, a nuclear reactor is expensive, and the technology to put it in cars doesn't exists yet, I really wouldn't want to be around a car crash.
  18. Just in case the're any Dutch or Belgian people around, this just got posted, which is pretty relevant: http://www.geenstijl.tv/2009/12/rutger_bij_geheim_gereformeerd.html
  19. Ok. He bores me now. We get the point. I got the point before you started talking, in fact. Time to STFU, Pat.
  20. In general I don't read YouTube comments. 99% of the time, whether the topic is cultural, political or in any way controversial or not, the comments are retarded. Apparently you have to be retarded to feel compelled to comment, not sure. But in general, I thought I was an atheist but this guy takes it to another level. While I'm compelled to agree with him most of the time, he does make a terrible lot of assumptions, a little to many for my taste. Some if it is hilarious, but definitely not all of it.
  21. Meh. Some if it was weak. In particular the part about American being hijacked by Christians. I mean, the whole of Europe was seriously Christian when they came to America. So that's just a load of bullcrap. EDIT: Sorry, wrong one.
  22. "we have evolved from lower species such as lizards, apes and born again Republicans" Choked in my steak.
  23. First couple of seconds: "it's nice to know I am in your prayers". Too... funny.. for words.. I love this guy. Some of what he says is ridiculous, presumably for the comical factor, but overall he's spot on and hilarious. Thanks keldorn!
