I need a website. The information on the website is top secret, so I need it to only be up during business hours, as to avoid hackers and competition from getting hold of the information. I’d also prefer we hosted it on a Mac. - clientsfromhell
Tell your designer he can’t leave until tomorrow morning, I may want to change some of the wording on the website. I dont want him doing it from home, as someone might hack him and see what I’m planning… - clientsfromhell
Microsoft markets its browser as the Internet itself. It’s no wonder its been so hard for developers to explain the situation to their site visitors. We, the web community, have politely asked web surfers to upgrade from IE6. We’ve tried. Everyone has tried. So now it’s time to trick them into upgrading. That’s right, trick IE6 users into moving on. Tricking users is a big taboo, but if we’re talking about tricking users into upgrading from IE6 to a newer browser, we feel that it’s like tricking them into receiving free money. - Nick Pettit
Anything you do with your gear is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. This is a stupid idea that will probably ruin your radio, set your house on fire, bring the FCC to your door, ruin your crops, and send famine and pestilence across the land. - Rob Flickenger
people dig icecream and flow-charts, the first one is really hard to get into a SVG rendering so I went with the second - Zack Rusin
If I don’t tell you about something, then it is not yours to interact with! - Misko Hevery
Google knows what you search (Google search), what you read (iGoogle, Google Reader), what people visit a site (Google Analytics), what sites you visit (Google toolbar, lifetime Google cookies, DoubleClick tracking cookies) etc. but there still are some unknowns, from time to time. With a Google browser you can’t hide anything anymore. - Tadeusz Szewczyk
Our web application support team doesn’t know html or javascript, can you redo the project so you aren’t using those? - clientsfromhell
Real programmers set the universal constants at the start such that the universe evolves to contain the disk with the data they want. - Randall Munroe
Some programmers are craftsmen, some are engineers, and there sure are a lot of lowest-bid contractors out there. - Ian Eure
An exception handler handles exceptions that were not caught before. It is the nature of an exception that it discontinues execution of your program - since it declares an exceptional situation in which the program cannot continue (except you catch it). Since it has not been catched your code signals it is not being aware of the situation and cant go on. This implies: returning to the script is simply impossible when the exception handler has already been called, since an uncaught exception is not a notice. use your own debug- or notice-log-system for things like that. - Anonymous
stop all non-essential processes like spyware… and other running software. - Amit Agarwal
Feeling like the adventure has gone out of computing? Need a challenge? Still have extra hair you haven’t pulled out from previous problems? suicidal tendencies? - Brian
I’m in ur chromiumz, teleporten ur goatz. - Praetorian Tmotc
HTML 4.01 contains everything that XHTML 1.0 contains, so there is little reason to use XHTML in the real world. It appears the main reason is simply “jumping on the bandwagon” of using the latest and (perceived) greatest thing. - Ian Hickson
I think the “battles” will be less acerbic. Any IP is as good as any other, excepting DNS providers. I can’t imagine anyone uttering the words “my father was born on this IP!” It’ll be more like a soup kitchen (if it’s first-come, first serve), or a trading floor (if it’s more of a free market) - Mark Jaquith
Do you think anyone sets up camp outside the League of Justice with a bullhorn, shouting: It’s too confusing to keep track of all you super heroes! Which one has which power, and should be used to fight which enemy? Which one is the right one to help us out in an hour of need? Why can’t there just be one giant superhero, SuperBatGreenMartianFlashHawkManWoman?? - Jeff Atwood
Fred is Envato’s only PHP developer, valiantly holding the fort against the Ruby dev team who consider their development language to be superior. - Skillie
But the pigments make up such a small portion of the paint, even the tree huggers should let themselves off with choosing an unnatural baby blue. - Ross Samson
Why should language need a === operator in the first place? == can be taken to mean “sorta, kinda equals, but maybe not” === means “no, no, no… REALLY, REALLY equals, not sorta equals”
How many people with decent programming backgrounds write their first PHP script and then have to replace == with === ?
- Lobby Jones
