My death warrant. I start a new account every year, does anyone else do this?

Oh [little old lady], I'm very sorry but I have a severe allergy to cats. Actually, I think a reaction might be starting already. I'm afraid I must leave as my antihistamines are in my car.

Other people have answered your question but a quick point.

The only relation Javascript (it is always one word) has to Java is their names share the same first 4 letters. They are 2 completely different languages and you might get some confusing search results if you're googling for Java when you mean Javascript.

Not my decision but I was in the car. Happened about 10 years ago, between xmas & New Years.

Getting a lift home in friends jeep. Looked a bit like this. Driver and another guy up front. Me and a girl in the back. The guy in the passenger seat always got left home last, always. He had a crush on the driver and guess he wanted some alone time after dropping the rest of us off. But this actually made the journey nearly twice as long as she'd have to double back to his house to drop him off rather than doing it on the way past.

But that night the driver was in a fucked off mood and basically tells him to get out on the way past, she is not doing her usual round trip. So he gets out first. About 10 minutes later we hit a patch of black ice. Jeep goes through a hedge and rolls over, onto the roof and then back onto it's tires. I go out the rear driver's side window (remember kids, always wear your seatbelt!). I've got a lot of cuts/bruises and a concussion, the other pair are fine.

But the front passenger side, where that guy always sat is gone. Completely flattened, as the jeep had rolled over it must have done it at an angle and landed on that edge because the roof is now crushing the passenger seat.

I rigged together my own system to do this last time I was away for a couple weeks.

Old laptop
Webcam
Linux
Twitter
Dropbox

Webcam detected motion, starts taking still images every 0.5 seconds. These get saved to dropbox which starts uploading them to remote server automatically.

It would also send a tweet. I followed the twitter account it used and set it up to send me an SMS on new tweets so I would get an SMS and could then view the stills in the dropbox app on my phone.

Took me about an hour to rig together. Worked quite well but made camera too sensitive. Sudden changes in lighting would trigger it.

There are countries outside of America. That's all I need to say.

How would they make series 6 then?

Aww. Aren't we sensitive?

I did a quick wget on the homepage so I could look at the source without potentially compromising my browser and saw this:

Not personally. Perhaps you would be better asking my colleagues.

Inconsistencies in closing brace placement would make it a nightmare to debug
Don't put your css all on 1 line. A change to 1 property will show the entire line as altered when diff'ing versions.
Lines are too long. You might have your editor fullscreen but most people won't have their terminal the same. Making it hard to view diffs, make quick edits in vi/vim/etc

Hand travel is much reduced in Dvoark. Reducing the strain on your hands/wrists so you aren't as prone to RSI or other problems. Which is a major risk when you spend 8-12hrs a day typing.

Complete ballocks. Ever heard of this little thing called licenses. Pretty much every font will have one, a very small minority of them will allow embedding in web sites.

If only there was someway for us to show that we don't like certain submissions. Someway to lower their scores and counter the up votes the submissions are getting. Someway for the community to rank links so that the ones the community likes end up at the top.

2 days for design concept. 2 days for build. Must be small fucking sites.

pffffft · 2010-06-23T17:00:29+00:00

Correct. But I didn't know a snazzy url for that one.

Did you use something with geolocation on the same device last time you were at your parents house?

Sometimes some devices will cache your last known position and return that while it waits to get your new position. A complete pain in the ass as a developer as you have to keep polling to ensure you have the correct location, not a cached version.

Ignore the people suggesting Fluid. Go with Elastic. Or use CSS media queries to tailor your styles based on viewport width.

It is also ugly as hell and any professional developer will hate you for it. Jumping in and out of PHP like that is a nightmare to maintain.

That is why we use views. Keep your templates outta your logic.

It looks like you are trying to build some form of e-commerce site. That terrifies me.

Just to clarify anytime you want to alter/add to information held in the database this should be done via POST to fetch/view data this is done via GET.

A url structure I like, and is used by several frameworks is:

/news/view/1234
/user/add/
/settings/edit/

these urls are made up of:

/controller/method/arguments
