  1. Yes.
  2. I'd probably pay someone who finds it easier more money. If it's easier for X than Y to do something then X is probably better and thus a more valuable asset to me. As long as being easier for someone doesn't mean their work is of inferior quality of course.
  3. Email was invented when only a few people used the internet. Everybody knew each other.
  4. If you are the person asking the question then you will probably not be in a position to judge whether response A was better than response B anyway. That's why a lot of people come here with outdated code and deprecated practice after they've read some stupid old book about PHP. They will not be able to tell whether the code is good or bad.
  5. Just of curiosity, does it dynamically charge you up to X GB, or does it just keep on going? What if you got Google bombed or the site were attacked or something? I've got 450 GB/month, so if I one month use e.g. 1000 GB then I'll get charged (1000-450) * £.25 = £137.5 (ex VAT @ 15%). And of course, if I would happen to use ∞ GB then I'll get charged £∞. It will keep on going indefinitely, but it's likely that if I was DDoSed that they would suspend my account because it would use other resources as well.
  6. Try Adobe CS.
  7. They spent the first five days sending it to the repair shop (I don't know why that took them so long). Then it was weekend so they didn't work. They did the work on Monday and spent time sending it back to the store where I bought the laptop and thus turned it in for repair. I agree it's stupid that I should have to wait longer just because they don't have in-house repair, but there is not really anything I can do about it.
  8. Got it back today. Loose wire...
  9. I'm still not sure what kind of error page you get. Could you take a screenshot perhaps?
  10. Aesthetically I think the Samsung beats the others. Technically they look to be virtually identical except that the Acer has a higher contrast ratio though (though the Samsung has "DC 8000:1(1000:1)" and I'm not sure how dynamic contrast ratio is better/worse than the other thing). I would probably buy the Samsung.
  11. You can quickly glance over the reply count, but you could also use the "Recent Unread Topics" sorted by reply count: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?action=unread;start=0;sort=replies Just watch out for the date stamps though.
  12. You can see all your posts here: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=78268 Besides this one you haven't created any posts. Moderation logs don't show deletion of any of your content either.
  13. You could find a host that doesn't shut you off when exceeding your bandwidth limit, but rather charges you an overage fee. I'm charged £0.25/GB for instance.
  14. No. Topics are only solved when it's creator says it is. You can accomplish what you want by only looking at topics without any replies.
  15. Your requests makes it all the way to our server. What kind of page do you see? Is it the browsers page cannot be found page because the request timed out, or is it a server error page saying something like 404?
  16. How is this different from their existing products Zend Core and Zend Platform?
  17. Which languages you would want to learn also depends on what your goals are. If you just want to make some big bucks then you would be better off picking some of the languages that generally pay high. I believe those are languages like Java or various .NET based technologies. If you wish to do stuff on embedded systems with minimal resources available then a language like Java would probably be too bloated and you might want to check out C or maybe even assembly. If you wish to do research in a particular field of computer science then there are some things that would be good to know there as well. I think that stuff like AI research is traditionally done in Lisp and/or Prolog. Web development is another option and here e.g. PHP would be a good choice. There are plenty of resources available (though some really suck or are outdated), and even though opinions about PHP coming from this web may well be biased, I think it's reasonable to say that PHP is fairly popular as well. If you wish to be a sysadmin then Perl and Python would likely suit you well, and if it's a GNU/Linux system then bash would be handy too. You might also do programming because you simply think it's awesome. In that case you can pick anything you want, but choosing a lot of different languages would probably be a good idea to get a broader view of programming in general (I suppose you can say that regardless of your goals). Also, there are probably a fair share of old systems written using old languages like Fortran. As a competent developer in such languages you could likely earn a lot of money, but you would also risk that your skills would become too outdated too soon. Again, it really depends on what you wish to do. Pick the right tool for the right job. There is no reason why you theoretically couldn't do web development in assembly, but it would be pointless and a waste of time. Specifically at OP, there must be a reason why you are here asking this question. There must be a reason why you are inquiring about the "careerability" of PHP instead of asking medicine, law, or maybe cooking. I'd guess that since you're here, you are interested in web development, and in that case I think PHP would be a good candidate, but there are other languages like Ruby and Python you could use for that as well.
  18. You need to create a post-commit hook for the repo. It can be written in any language though. It just needs to have the executable bit enabled in the file system permissions (+x). It can be as simple as this: #!/bin/bash svn up /path/to/local/copy You need to ensure that the user your Subversion server is running as has write permissions to the folder where the local working copy is installed at though.
  19. I can ask the techs in the datacenter if there are any known issues with the network. I don't think I can do anything else.
  20. You could also use a real debugger instead of ad hoc changes to the code that you might forget to revert.
  21. Kissimmee, Florida, U.S.
  22. I'm afraid I cannot reproduce that.
  23. I think you'll find that it is not possible. The same origin policy protects against this. It prevents scripts from accessing data on websites it does not originate from. The origin is determined by the domain name (e.g. www.phpfreaks.com), application layer protocol (e.g. HTTP), and TCP port (e.g. 80). This means that a piece of Javascript running on http://example1.com is not able to access e.g. DOM http://example2.com because it's two distinct domain names and thus not the same origin. If the browser contains a hole that lets an attacker circumvent the same origin policy then there is nothing, as server side developer, you can do to protect your user. If the user's machine has been compromised then there is nothing you can do about it either. Using the SID is perfectly safe, but if you wish to tighten security then you can regenerate the SID every X requests for instance. You can try it for yourself.
  24. Of course they're valid. I can give you a certificate as well if you give me some money. I won't guarantee that you get any recognition for it though.
  25. You fail at logic... You cannot count the number of atoms in the universe, so in my opinion there is only one. By your logic that's a perfectly valid statement.
