regexp in PHP Arrays: Clear blanks: $array = preg_grep('/[^$]/', $array); Patterns for zip codes $zip_code = str_replace(' ','','ZIP CODE'); $pattern = array( array( '/^[[:alnum:]]{6,6}+$/', '/[[:alpha:]]/', '/[[:digit:]]/' ), array( '/^(\d){5,5}+$/' ) ); $is_zip_code = true for($_j = 0; $_j < count($pattern[$_i]); $_j++){ $is_zip_code = ($is_zip_code and preg_match($pattern[$_i][$_j],$zip_code)); } Regexp have power to resume your code in rules, then you are able to change the pattern easily. There are many tools to create regexp patterns. Blessings!

We are in the BIG jump again, like from Kb to Mb, Mb to GB and now: GB to Tera.I will buy a "Teradisk" when the needs and money lets me :blink:ABOUT SIZE, CAPACITY, SPEED and moreAt this time, I'm working in a Celeron 1Ghz, 512mb ram, 40GB HD, Nvidia Geforce2 64mb. And is enough to me. Web development doesn't needs a monster CPU/GPU/HD. But every 6 months, there is something new, smaller, stronger, faster, and the entropy is growing: more machines with very different hardware and software. I have to work in standards of usability, browsers, coding. Then, all this is about criteria and needs.AGAIN: If you need one truck, buy one a do your workBlessings!

REFLEXIONAlexa is relevant to many people, and is still there because makes its job: money machine. I were a webmaster sick of statistics. Alexa provides a different view of your web traffic. Of course, isn't the same to have 100 visits a day than 100,000.Business men an "PR folks" know why Alexa rocks and how to use that "information". I only have to comply my deadlines and got paid :DIN THE PRACTICEMany folks argued that Alexa rocks because the wonderful "AJAX graph" and the parse "0.000000000025% of the Internet traffic said my site rocks"(pathetic!!!), and you are able to post a "brief comment of the site". If they cut the statistics for only the first 100,000 top sites, then Alexa rocks for they, not for me. Blessings!!!

Asta 4, is a logo with meaning!!, you have to work in the colors and contrasts, the orange arrow is very opaque and the font of the slogan is difficult to read(but easier than the actual).Blessings!

Wonderfull!!! That guy made a great job!. The map shows a well structured OS, made to be solid, reliable, compatible, scalable, extensible. I'm using Linux since 4 years ago and you don't have to know so to notice the layers, functions and electronics. Remember that Linuz wants to build a Unix, and he respects the standard with criteria(not strictly like BSD's) Compare by yourself here (Windows structure) and the Linux (2.6.22) versus Windows (Vista) Blessings!

TERRIBLE...And of course, that machine runs Windows (XP: eXtreme Pain).INTERESTINGI noticed that the image have 800x600px, is a visual trick to increase the awesome effect!!!JOKINGI really doubt that Bill Gates uses any Microsoft product. Like a doctor said: "I will never permit any doctor to touch me, they are killers!!, I'm a doctor". Is hard to live in the hell and be the evil: only he knows why!!!Blessings!!

I really respect the faith of people, if Ala is the name of God in your language(Yave to me) then I believe in Ala.REALLY EASYYes!!! of course, you only have to believe!!!, then you be able to believe in the Holy Bible, and get saved by faith.WHAT IS HARD?Is hard to be ignored, killed, injured, etc, etc, because your believes and pray for that souls. Is hard to believe in a hidden God and be named: lunatic, ignorant, and bless those mocking. But that is love, your most powerful weapon is: to pray. God is Powerfulness and he have control of everything.SCIENCE IS IGNORANTHuman have a very very very limited brain. Our capacity to process the nature of God is impossible, like an ant can't understand human businesses, human can't understand God. You only have to wait for his mercy, thats what I do, and that is what works for me.CAN'T BELIEVETrust :PBlessings!

JOKINGIn my opinion, the problem with Open Source and "Proprietary Software" is based in: trust.If you can't trust in your self, the competition, your wife, etc. You have a problem of "trust". By the way, if you are open to trust in yourself, share your good work, and live to do things well done, there is no problem.There is many power on hidden things, the catholic church hides key information, but the have to keep the power. Is similar with the software. The Bill(vil:infamous) Gates(gay) needs more and more money, like mac pato. Then he have to hide the code, because he have to keep the secret of the worst OS in the human history.SERIOUSLYSomethings must be hidden, good secrets keeps our lives peaceful. But of course, there are some good efforts that are able to be improved with collaboration. This is the time of Team Work, individual heroes are kids fantasy.Blessings!

In the peruvian jungle: amazon forest, people is pleased to eat bugs: suri, monkeys, ants, cats: mishikanka, turtles: taricaya. And a large etc of "rare" animals. Thinking like a native: How civilized people may eat smoke, pay for water, kill for "black gold", live like a bug and lost mind for buks.Human fears unknown, you have to eat that bugs to know how terrible or delicious are.Blessings!

At this time, the best for me is Linux.I don't agree with the options in this poll. Windows is an OS with many versions, to put 2 versions in the same poll is wrong. This way, there must be listed: Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.6, and why not FreeBSD, OpenSolaris etc.Anyway, Linux was not made to be popular($$), this is only a well done OS made for smart and crazy people (like me)çBlessings!

HISTORYMy first language was: Basic, learned in Visual Basic 6.0 at the school, my first programming job was to support an ERP for markets, after 2 months, my boss let my try with PHP, then C and C++. At the School, I did learned Java(3 years after basic). The learning curve for C and C++ may be a problem if you don't have well based know of OO, UML, etc. Recently I started to work in a project based on a "Requirements Documentation", now I learned that programming is nothing without planning and modeling. I touched very little Asembly, only in my "crack study", Is very complex but powerful. My line is Web Programming, then I have to invest in multi-platform and multi-browser technology, by now, asembly is so far in my way.CONCLUSIONThe way to learn programming is very different for every one, according to their skills, demands and needs. Buy programming is not the only think you must do, first you have to train your brain to follow common conventions and produce better every time.Blessings!

Bill Gates may die of a hearth attack after read this!!, the goal to use alternative software is not to browse safer or look like a genius, the real goal is to ensure the human rights, really!!! Why?? what may happen if Microsoft disappear or have ALL THE CONTROL?? the answer is similiar to viruses: more diffunded, more easy to be infected. Diversity is the key of surviving, as the ecosystems. Of course, diversity sometimes isn't friend of profit, Microsoft depends on Windows because have enought market to sell their products, and the power to avoid strong competition because the less compatibility, then Standard is a bad word for business, they prefer: closed patents. My hope is that everyday more people is getting informed and got more mindtools to have better choices according to their needs, NOTHING IS FOR EVERYONE but ALL MUST USE SOMETHING. Blessings!!

FOR REFLEXIONNorton is really slow but the most secure alternative. After install Norton Internet Security, your computer will be locked and overcharged. As you will not be able to use your computer, forget about virus, there will not be free CPU to run any process. Norton is a good tool to migrate from Windows to Linux, Once your Windows is completely unusable, you will need a well done, efficient and natively secure OS.Kaspersky is good too, the only problem is that your Windows will be turned usable and secure, that is not good, Windows was designed to produce headache, frustration, less productivity, the need to buy a new computer every 6 months or kill your self.SERIOUSLYThe best AV is: yourselfBlessings!

The keyboard is so bad at this "cabina de internet", i did the test, my average speed is 35WPM!!! I won a typing test 4 years ago... but my keyboard was good!!! My common average typing speed is about 55-80WPM, all depends on the language, because English is my second language. Peru is a country with less more than 10% of analfabetism, to know typing is a privilege for "need to job" and interested people. I learned thanks to a friend, he suggested me and her son to follow a course of 1 month. Typing is really easy, you only need 30-120min daily. Some Linux users will love to use: Tux Typing 2, is really funny. The normal trial version of Typingmaster is also good to improve your fingertips performance. PRACTICE IS THE KEY, "follow the way step by step" Blessings!

Increase Internet Speed???? My answer: ONE OF THE MOST BIGGEST LIES IN THE INTERNET HISTORYYour are able to tweak your Window$ to improve your Internet bandwidth usage, but, there is no way to increase your Internet Speed, this is all about bits, you pay for the Bandwidth, your ISP will provide you a range of bandwidth guarantee, usually you will get between 10% and 99.9% THERE IS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR INTERNET SPEED, because is managed by your ISP. If you need more speed: PAY FOR MORE: "someone must pay the coffee".PLEASE DON'T waste your time trying following lies. Blessings!

Hey, nice project :PThis is my suggestion for your project:1. Training: a. PHP and MySQL learning i. FORMS ii. Sessions iii. Database Management: INSERT UPDATE DELETE b. Javascript learning i. Move objects ii. Create Objects iii. AJAX(mootools) c. CSS2. Development a. PURE PHP+HTML Questions&Answers game like: Dungeon and Dragons b. PHP+MYSQL+HTML Questions&Answers, ADD: storing data c. PHP+MYSQL+HTML+CSS Questions&Answers, ADD: user is able to choose game layout d. PHP+MYSQL+HTML+CSS+AJAX: you are ready to build your game <_<Rome wasn't build in 1 day, You have to do thinks step by step.Have a good coding!

That is a good idea but consider the pros and cons: PROS 1. less spam 2. shorter topics 3. easy maintenance CONS 1. "automatic close" affects unsolved topics, some questions need many years. 2. harder maintenance: have to open a new topic for the same questions, duplicity My Suggestion: Maintainers must close topics manually according to some (new?) rules. Blessings!

This is great: cmsmatrix.orgYou be able to compare a lot of CMS by functionality, performance, extensibility, and a large etc: etcetera :P3 months ago, I was looking for THE CMS. After of compare the good one: Drupal with the worst ones: JBOSS, Nuxeo, Joomla(regardless the number version), my hearth and mind are convicted that Drupal is the well done version of a good solution, because a Content Management System, is about:- content: more than text: things that matter- management: an art- system: pseudo-living structures made by minded people(except JBOSS <_<Please!!! we are near to the web 3.0!!!!, you don't need to reinvent an operative system to use a computer, just choose, install, and enjoy!Blessings

A laptop is better so far!Why?PROS1. Is not the same to have a truck than a bike right?, but with technology, you are able to have a bike 2 times more powerful than a truck :P2. Another point is: "portability", A laptop give us the opportunity to carry an office in less 1 Kg :P3. Energy savings. Less pollution, healthy planetCONS1. A laptop is robed easier: then you loose not only your laptop, all your business is on risk!!!2. Is expensive: at least in my country3. Is not very open for upgrades: do you need more power? buy a new oneCONVERT(CONS TO PROS)1. Keep backups, don't be depended of your tools.2. A laptop is easier to resell <_<3. After resell buy a new one with less cost :PBlessings!

According to this point of view: YES, you are all right. Yes, you got the idea <_<Isn't easy to write quotations from some language to other. Blessings!

Some years ago, I nude my case yes!! but looks terrible, many cables like spaghetti and new cleaning demands. The solution was to get another case and install new fans for hard disc, video card, front, processor, one pci fan (given by a friend)... Sometimes is hard to find to the perfect combination....After read this topic, I have installed and tested xmbmon and xsensors (I prefer lightweight software). As normal user, xmbmon finish with this error: seteuid: Operation not permitted.xsensors displays absolutely nothing: a thin window 5x40px (incredible!)Does it means that I haven't temperature sensors in my Motherboard?I will be trying a little more....Blessings!

Hey! I'm happy with my old pure Intel P Celeron 1Ghz, it works good for web development (with 390MB RAM). But for some projects I will need more than 1 teraflop! really, I need a little google server at home to look at my girlfriend's archives!!! Anyway, technology grows faster than people's budget. I'll be happy with a decent computer with enough power to run Beryl and increase my productivity. But I will have to take care on my code, ANYTHING MAY RUN FASTER IN A NEW PROCESSOR(except Window$), but BABY!! you are not the only one that will use the software. Sometimes I think that Game testers also test Micro$oft programs... (another history). Talking about the multi-core technology, is another buzzword, like grid-processing. Intel can't avoid physic laws. Another related topic is: http://www.geek.com/news/bio-computing-549058/ Blessings!

I really love Pidgin, looks a lot better and is more user friendly. I can't believe how adjusting some colors and putting nice icons may change a software.I agree, now Pidgin is stable, 2 months ago I was decided to never more use Gaim and start using Kopete(although KDE), but.... please I'm fluxbox lover(planing to use ion), functionality and lightweight is my criteria to use software.Installation was incredible easy, just: apt-get install pidgin, old gaim packages were purged and then I started my Pidgin.About troubleshooting, if you need to use Pidgin for your gtalk(only chat: jabber), choose XMPP. For some reason, that is the only kind of account that I didn't get imported from Gaim to Pidgin. I use Yahoo, MSN, GMail, ICQ.Blessings!

Please be realistic!!, "Free hosting" is not real. There is ever some key restriction that will put your fingertips looking another "free hosting", you know: space, bandwidth, reliability, support and lifetime. How much time will 789mb.com be fast and reliable? I did try 110mb.com and 1010mb.com, they are really limited, slow and without support. In my opinion, Xisto.com is not "free", you have to invest your time, is like a work, you get paid in hosting credits. But not only "hosting credits", the community is amazing, support and servers works very good (better than many paid hosts), and the best point: to be a collaborative member (better than common forums). Just think about this: Xisto.com, better than any..... Please remember this: "El que quiere celeste que le cueste" (Put effort in things You want) Blessings!

mod_rewrite can rewrite the entire URL and is more useful when you want to provide "friendly URLs". Example 1: .htaccessRewriteEngine OnRewriteRule ^/(.*)/post/(.*)/$ /index.php?language=$1&post=$2[L] The above code will convert:/es/post/10/ (easy to remember, cleaner, smarter) to: /index.php?language=es&post=10 You don't need to use ";" at the end of every line Blessings!
