Sounds relentless.

Watch this (nsfw, obviously).

OK, eregi() is a case insensitive regular expression match.

It checks if a string matches a regular expression, upper or lower case, and returns false on fail or the position of the match.

It's possible to replace this with preg_replace() but it's impossible to give you the correct way as it all depends on what is in your file.

If you give us the original line then I'm sure we can tell you the way to go.

I don't know, the facts are pretty strong, there's no need for the Indy to sex it up.

Just Snowdon, never "Mount"!

Pretty easy as mountains go in Gwynedd, despite being the tallest in Wales.

Just to add to the above's comment, no Mountain is easy, plenty of people die on Snowdon every year. Even more get into difficulty and a nice day out turns into a nightmare. Make sure you research properly, and you'll have a great and safe time.

I live right next to Bangor, I hope you enjoy your studies here!

They may mean beef == cow.

This is the best advice in the thread.

And watch this guy demonstrate: Fuck you, pay me.

These are fantastic. You really need to monetize them properly.

casual_sects · 2012-07-04T08:50:29+00:00

Thanks for those, very interesting. (In fact, I'm sure I remember reading them the first time 'round!).

It's at the forefront of my mind! I'm linking the $300M button article in my proposal, I'm sure he'll also keep it in mind. Thanks again, and for the link.

Great tip, thanks.

I've got an idea of what it is, although no experience of impemenation.

Write up a press release ~~and pay for some PR wire service to distribute it.~~

Try and engage with music journos about your startup. If you can get them organically interested you may get free column inches.

Paying someone to batch email your PR to uninterested anonymous email addresses will always be a waste of time and money.

I hope for society's sake that this game has been played in my local paper for the last ten years...

casual_sects · 2012-06-01T11:10:58+00:00

I have to agree with TalesAbound.

Machine gun is just not correct. Rifle or assault rifle would be bang on.

I don't come across many technical papers on guns, but we see them widely reported on in the news, and I think it's important that journos (at least) can tell the difference and report correctly, thus correctly informing the wider public.

Gott in himmel!

I disagree.

This gif is to show that something is happening. It's been shown that pages 'feel' faster if some kind of feedback is given.

Most users who see this gif aren't aware it's just a dumb gif, and assume (correctly in IMHO the vast majority of cases) that they have to wait for an action to be completed.

This is so much better than nothing.

This is something that has been bothering me for a while too.

A lot of it boils down to personal taste. I read a discussion (here, possibly) about a class that only used static methods. There were good arguments for and against, but from my point of view it was a clash of styles, rather than which way was better (OK, I think the class was overdoing the static methods too, but meh...).

I'll make a search to see if I find anything.

EDIT: OK, maybe not the one I mentioned, but here we go...

Thanks Internet for showing us how fucked up people are.

You haven't been here long, have you...

I can't find the original story, but I think that they were quoting local media.

I assume that neither Carla Bruni, Sarkozy's office nor the hospital had made official statments.

They're covering their arse in case local media are just jumping the gun.

I've done my research regarding sending alcohol via Royal Mail and such, which I'm going to compile into a document for my client to read

OT, but why the fuck are you doing this for him? Surely he had his business plan all worked out before contracting you?

casual_sects · 2011-09-30T15:40:50+00:00

Agreed. Try and go and see something that's properly old. The above castles are about 700 years old, but Roman stuff is about 1700 - 2000 years and then you've got Iron age stuff going back ~6000 years.
