This thread has already some years grown, though I wanted to give my opinion to it. I'm programming for more than 10 years now, started with PHP (privately) and four or five years ago came to CF (through work). And with the time I started to prefer CF over PHP due to it's in my eyes simpler syntax, better readability, more unified function base, better debugging information and some other little things. Non-the-less I'm still programming PHP privately, because there are several projects using PHP. I totally agree with you! It seems most of the people praising PHP never tried ColdFusion. ColdFusion is definitely easy to learn and with <cfscript> there is no excuse for all the people here saying, PHP is easier to learn when you're already knowing a language like C++. Though I prefer the tag based syntax, because in my eyes it's easier to read. Want an example? Here you have: PHP: include 'dbconnection.php';$sql = 'SELECT firstName, '. ' lastName, '. ' birthday '. 'FROM users '. 'WHERE ID = '.int($userID);$userData = mysql_query($sql);while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($userData)) { var_dump($row);} ColdFusion: <cfquery name="userData" datasource="db"> SELECT firstName, lastName, birthday FROM users WHERE ID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#userID#"></cfquery><cfdump var="#userData#"> In this little example the code is already some lines smaller and the output is way better to read because of <cfdump>. At https://www.mollerus.net/tom/blog/2007/12/8_reasons_to_like_cfmls_syntax_over_phps.html there are some more advantages listed (even when I'm not agreeing with all of them). Obviously you didn't really try out the functionality of CF. ColdFusion is a programming language like PHP, just the syntax is different (if not using <cfscript>). Also ColdFusion has object orientation! There the classes are just called "components". But just like in PHP you can mix OO with procedural programming, it's up to you. Security is also not an advantage of PHP, because both are offering ways to avoid SQL injections or other hacking techniques. Therefore <cfqueryparam> is used in CF. CF is also easy to install and when using Railo it's also free. Adobe even offers scientific licenses now (as somebody already mentioned before), which are also free. And as long as CF is not used for commercial purposes you could always use the free developer edition.One bigger downside of CF is the smaller community (especially in countries outside the States like in Germany where I live). Though there are also several good sources for help and code snippets out there. As for the argument, that for growing businesses you can't meet the demands I have to say, that I merely saw the bigger companies having sites created with CF, while smaller ones (probably due to the price) are mostly using other techniques. Also note, that PHP 6 is already in development for many years and still has to implement some things like full Unicode compliance, which CF already has and some suggestions like named parameters are simply refused by the developers (see http://de2.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=%7Ederick%2Fmeeting-notes.html〈=de&scope=404quickref). Adobe on the other side is updating their product every one or two years with the downside, that you have to pay for upgrades. But of course you're not forced to always upgrade your server to the newest version. Greetings from Germany Sebastian

Two weeks ago, I bought an Acer Aspire Laptop 5745G that came with Windows 7 pre-installed. For our project reasons, I had to install Windows XP 32 bit on it. Once installed, I realized that I can not get the Nvidia graphics card to work. So I called the acer support. The transcripts of the acer support staff is located here: 1. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/.'>http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ summary of the story is that they will not restore your OS if you accidentally deleted or formatted your machine.

Creat a small online version3d Mmorpg Maker Softwere?!Hello, I want to make a complicated game or to interest some one else into making this complicated game. I have seen many mmorpg and played them, I have played many strategy games as well. I want a game where you can make buildings, Make Armies, Make Ships and found your own empire. I want a game where I can craft items, gather resources , do quests, get a reputation or just go around slaying my enemies may it be npc or players. That is what id like to mix into one great game for every one, but to do so..Sounds impossible. I have looked around on google for a game creator for such a experiment but can find non. The closet to such a game that I know of is Bounty Bay, but its far from what I am after. If I could I would make such a game but I need help to try it out, Not interested in creating a full game but rather a small online version. If it work out then I will look for a team to finish a full version. My idea might not be possible but I hope it one day will be. -question by Random Guy

i have quick question. what about a lynx?

There are milions of people who can solve the rubiks cube by the begginers method which is about 1 to 6 minutes (my record with the begginers method is 59 sec. But there are about 200,000 people who can solve the cube using the speed solving method (for example the fridricks method) which is about between 7,08 (world record) and 20 seconds (I'm one of the 200,000). Thank you for your attention. Ivan Glas
