  1. alapidus was Avi Lapidus, age 15. He died on 2/23/2006.

    His memorial blog is at zichronavi.blogspot.com

  2. Single quotes are parsed faster than double quotes because the PHP parser doesn't expect anything to be escaped or any special characters to be added in by single quotes. It just expects a plain string. Also, double quotes are used more often than single in HTML (unless you're one of those freaks that surrounds tag attributes with single quotes ), and even in normal speech. So it would make more sense to use single quotes than to escape 10 double quotes in your string, and also sacrifice speed.
  3. echo "<span class=\"mystyle\">".$giorno[$gisett]." ".$mese[$mesnum]." ".date("d")."</span>";Why not just use single quotes? They parse faster, are easier and faster to type, and allow you to type double-quotes without escaping them. echo '<span class="mystyle">'.$giorno[$gisett].' '.$mese[$mesnum].' '.date('d').'</span>';
  4. What I did was start by looking at a message board source, punBB for instance. Then I tried to learn what it did to the HTML by comparing the PHP to the HTML it outputted. Then, I went to http://php.net/ and looked at their tutorial. After that, I went to http://www.hackingwithphp.com/ and learned there. Finally, I started to try to add my own features to the message board source until I was experienced, while continuing to learn from hudzilla.
  5. Well, I went to PC Warehouse today. Their sign said that they were open from 12-3pm on sundays. Apparently, they weren't, at least at 1:30 when we got there! What a waste of an hour-long trip!My dad's gonna try again this week on a weeknight. Hopefully they won't fool me twice... shame on them! If this doesn't work out, then screw Microsoft because I'm getting a Linux!
  6. When Michael Jordan left the Bulls, the aura disappeared, and the magic was lost. Phil Jackson. Scottie Pippen (sorta). Dennis Rodman. Everybody split up. Since then, the Bulls have been one of the worst teams in the NBA, with around 20-25 wins per year. They started this season 0-9.Since then, the Baby Bulls have been on a major winning streak, and they are now back over .500, with the help of Kirk Hinrich, who looks like Mr. Spock and plays like John Stockton, Ben Gordon, who led the UCONN Huskies to the national championship, and Luol Deng, who has played amazing all season after starring at Duke. If the season were to end now, the Bulls would be in the playoffs!Are the Bulls... back?EDIT: Steve Kerr left, too. But nobody cares about him, lol!
  7. I am currently learning from 2 sources: 1. PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson - the only PHP book in my library and 2. http://www.hackingwithphp.com/ - the best PHP tutorial I have ever seen (there's a newer version of it at /phpbook, but i like the first version better) I also began learning at http://php.net/ but the other sources are better. How about you? Where did you learn PHP?
  8. if anything ran on linux, i gladly would! what if i want to play games like doom 2 or half-life 2? i don't think anyone made those for linux...
  9. i'm also 14 years old... still in eighth grade...but its all good because i'm the oldest kid in my school!
  10. well according to all my computer nerd friends: there is no true way to completely erase a hard disk... (well, maybe setting it on fire would erase it ) i also think that Microsoft would find some way to prevent consumers from using it ineligibly, and i guess permanently bruising the hard drive is the easiest way to accomplish it. also, its a known fact that OEM xp disks can only be used on one computer; that's one of the reasons its so cheap!
  11. the ads are there because ad-clicking is basically the only way that Xisto can get paid! if users stop clicking, then there will be no more free hosting! even worse, the site staff won't get paid! OH NOES!!1
  12. it still doesn't work for me: my full nightly command (midnight EST):0 19 * * * /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/gamefaqs/public_html/cron_omgwtflolbbq/daily_purge.phpdid i forget something? am i supposed to put a "GET" in somewhere?please help! this is really important for my site!thanx in advance
  13. UPDATE: my dad's doing me a huge favor and he will be taking my PC to a store called PC Warehouse tomorrow. i hear that they are very good, very professional, and they won't overcharge. i'll see how it goes... another update hopefully soon, if anyone cares...
  14. what makes firefox so great is its customizability. imagine what firefox would be without extensions, themes, and without an open source! when you let absolutely anyone submit improvements to the source, and allow for easy creation of extensions without touching the browser source!also, mozilla is really great at advertising its browser... i really do not though how they managed to do it!
  15. hehe, great posts, Opaque!i was wondering... would you be in favor of users who purposely test those "unlimited" plans and mass click their sites just to prove you right and destroy those hosts? i mean, it would lower Xisto's competition count by far!!!
