Well... kind of... if you ask "give me all apples", every one of them is going to be a fruit... So, really, if you have a tagname "apple", you would have no reason to have a type="fruit"

RE: There's more then one way to make a random number
@Shen said:
$randomnumber doesn't even hold a number, it's a string! So either he
was going to do what welcor said and named the variable wrong, or he
used a bad method. There's no getting out of this one
Unless he actually wants to hold it as a string (e.g. he is going to print it out in an image and make the user type it in--he may want the string to be a certain length, so if there is a zero in front, that is still part of the string the user has to type in...)
Just a thought.

the authors would do very well to read Code Complete.
Even if the code quality was excellent, that's a book worth reading, cover to cover, at least twice.

RE: The biggest WTF is the WTF software!!!
In all honesty, vBulletin is a great piece of forum software. A
ton of sites use it (including very big sites like WebHostingTalk), so
it's a good bet that it doesn't have many annoying
problems. It has the threaded post view that you want. It's
very well supported with new releases fairly frequently. I know
that it's somewhat easy to modify--they've done some modifications at
halo2forum.com to include some new features... I'm not sure if
the whole thing is open source.
It's $160...
I only used phpBB once, a few years ago, so I don't know if it's still
any good. It was pretty good back then, though, and from what I
recall it probably had a nice database...
They both use mySQL (unfortunately--I much prefer MSSQL)... but that seems to be the way PHP seems to lean...
It's unfortunate that there really aren't any excellent ASP.NET forum applications... (or even ColdFusion, for that matter...)

RE: The biggest WTF is the WTF software!!!
You know, it's a real shame, too, because .Text was a decent blog
application. Granted, it didn't have all of the features that
other pieces of software had, but if you needed a .NET blog
application, it was pretty much all there was.
This Community Server thing, though... I tried dismantling the source
once--I was working on a content managment system and wanted to see how
they assembled CS because I too had heard it was excellent. Some
parts of it are heavily over-engineered. Unfortunately, they
over-engineered the wrong parts.
I don't know that a change would be neccesary... it seems to work okay
for what it's used for--it's not so difficult to reply to your own post
to note your spelling errors, is it? Moving to a different forum
software would probably involve an inordinate amount of work...

RE: Even on a more basic level
In x86 assembly, you can use any registers...
So
add eax, ebx
Would put the sum of eax and ebx in eax.
You can also use a value from memory or specify an immediate value for the second operand, but not the first. -

Not possible. I programmed ATMs at my last job, and the ATM software
actually never gets to see the PIN. The PIN pad is bundled together
with encryption hardware and what the ATM actually does is send the
request data to that hardware, which encrypts it and the PIN that was
entered and returns the result, which is then sent over the network.
Interesting...
Though, I was just trying to make a joke, hence the ;-)

Not An ATM From Which I'd Want To Be Getting Cash
I dropped by an ATM machine because I was low on cash today, and on its
screen, rather than the usual "please insert card" prompt, it had a
text display of the contents of the processor registers.
What was most amusing was that the last line on the screen read "The system has recovered..."
I should have written down the contents of the registers... maybe it was the last person's card and PIN number ;-)
