It doesn't. A program closes when it ends. It's always like that.

It closes because the program ends. Logical, no? It's doing what you tell it to. You need to either open a console and execute the program from there or you'll need to put something in your program that'll prevent the program from ending.

What exactly are you hoping we would do?

International copyright law dictates that you automatically have copyright to everything you create unless you explicitly forfeit that right by e.g. releasing it to public domain.

What I meant was simply that your brain prioritizes an event where you burnt your finger on something higher than when someone gave you a hug. Even though the latter is a nice thing and you'd rather remember that instead, the former one is more important to your survival/protection so the brain's primitive way of working gives it a higher priority in terms of remembering it. Therefore, something you perceive as a bad thing will be easier to remember that something you perceive as nice. That's not necessarily that you "like" to observe the bad things though. I'm not a psychologist (or whoever studies such things), but it's just something I once read somewhere.

The brain is also wired to be able to remember bad things in favor of good things. This is a defense mechanism so you may better protect yourself from such things in the future. So I've read at least.

Great. Now we just need to wait 1,000 years for the various GNU/Linux distributions' repository maintainers to put it in there (*points at CentOS*).

Done. There is a report to moderator link you can use for these kinds of communications though

Actually, Jeff designed it. I coded it and I did indeed drop support for IE6. I'm not concerned about cutting out those users. They constitute 8.72% of our hits (see attachment) and even then they can still browse the forums and read the content on the main page though with a lower user experience.

I thought the original hacker was a maker of small wooden things, like furniture? Through carving and hacking? That's where the surname comes from, I'm pretty sure Right, but it's easily concluded that it's not the case here from statements 1 through 5.

I believe you can run disputes against a user with PayPal. Maybe that's worth looking into?

I'd like to reword this. Even if you proved that, the absolute ultimate action we might take would be banning said member. Also, I'd like to point out that you due to your registration on this forum have agreed to our Terms of Service thus agreeing that PHP Freaks cannot be held accountable for any content posted on these forums.

We will take action as soon as you can provide sustainable proof that he did in fact scam you.

Lol.

I've installed the mod we used to display the disclaimer again, but that's unfortunately the only thing we can do.

He could have been the person establishing contact with a person seeking developers through that board.

What do you propose we add? I'm sorry that you got scammed, but we cannot check every single individual who posts in there. It's merely there to act as a channel of communication between prospect developers and clients. We used to have a disclaimer in there stating this, but it got lost during an upgrade. I can post a sticky topic in there outlining this, but that's unfortunately the only thing we are able to do.

I don't hope you are managing anyone's economy because you obviously don't even know what money is. It doesn't matter whether a house costs $200k or $50k or $1 for that matter. A house is still worth a house obviously (I know there are different kinds of houses, but that's irrelevant in this context). It doesn't matter if there is an overall price drop, this just means that your currency will have higher value (purchasing power). The money itself isn't worth more than the material it's made of though. Its real value lies in its ability to be exchanged into goods. If it's decided that $1 is worth 1 house then it is so. If, however, its decided that you need another amount then it so instead. Money is thus an illusion. Let me explain why money is an illusion... Many years ago you traded goods for goods. Like for instance you have those pretty stones and if you give them to me then I'll give you my chicken. Fair enough, goods for goods. This was later found impractical and goldsmiths started crafting coins so you could easily trade. Even later the goldsmiths started offering that people could store all their coins in his vault such that they will not be robbed. Paper money in form of claim checks were then created because they were easier to handle. Have you for instance ever noticed how it explicitly states that on some modern bank notes? On the British bank notes, possibly American as well, you might for instance see: "Bank of England - I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of ten Pounds". Right, so far so good. The goldsmiths started lending money and charging interests for that. However, they also noticed that people never took out all their money at once, so they started lending more money than what was actually available. I.e. they created money out of nothing. This has carried on into modern day banking. If you take a loan on $10k then $10k is invented on the fly. They didn't exist before, but now they do. The amount of money a bank is allowed to lend out today is dependent on how much money they have actually got. I can't remember the exact ratio. This means that money is debt as there exist more debt than "money". It is thus completely impossible to pay out every single debt in the world. Now guess what happens when your bank closes... Seeing as your money didn't exist you get absolutely nothing. Your money is then lost, but not really, because you and nobody else, really had them. There is actually made a movie about this. "Money as debt" I believe it's called.

I'd imagine it is someone who has been employed as a PHP developer for a long time thus is no longer a "junior developer".

No 5 is not a script kiddie. They do generally not have superior knowledge of computer systems. They just use programs other people created instead of finding ways to do it themselves or find new holes.

The difference between .html and .shtml is that the latter will support SSI (Server-side includes), .html will not. It will be like that on standard configurations at least.

I hope you meant morally bad, because the majority of "real" hackers are very good programmers. To hack something is to make it work the way you want it to. Doesn't automatically mean haxoring teh krap outta sites lol!!!11 Uhm... not in this context. See: The common public does not know hackers as people who modify stuff or as programmers. If you tell someone who doesn't know much about computers that you are a hacker then it will immediately have negative connotations. Even though the word originally meant something else that's not to say it cannot change meaning. When the majority of people define a word in a specific way then it must be valid. Indeed you may be referred to as a hacker even though you're just a script kiddie who cannot actually program. The word has changed and the "old hackers" need to accept that.

No of course not, and to be honest, I would imagine that any girl would prefer conventional means of contraception to abortion. I wouldn't imagine it being a very nice thing having to go through.

I've split this from this topic. Please do not hijack other people's topics with your own problems.
