I use to push buttons. Now I tell others to push buttons.

if you're really paranoid about spammers you can always use something like that:
That is a great idea for a social site! Only allow people who can answer those questions in. Hmmmm, maybe even a dating site. You, my friend, are a genius!
(tired of celebrity BS on the net)
I have seen quite a few examples of how to validate dates over the years. A lot of them on this site. However, I have a new favorite.
[code]
public void validateDate() throws Exception {
System.out.println(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<");
}
[/code]
Yes, this is running in production.
I wondered where that went...
You got me. pre-CFH Pantera is not on the top of my playlist.
Maybe someone at Pandora programmed a little editorial. There are much better Pantera albums to listen to. (like any of them)

It would? Then it logically must also lead you to believe they are keeping track of over seventeen thousand year's-worth of orders....206589 tables would lead me to believe that this DB "design" must involve something like:
orders_Jan2008
orders_Feb2008
orders_Mar2008
...
Even if it was one table per day, that would still be over five and a half centuries. The only kind of explanation I can imagine that would get that number of tables was if they were using one table per *order*.
my money is on one table per person/entity. It is either one row for each order they placed or one row for each update to their profile/information. perhaps both.
any other guesses before we are enlightened as to the real cause?

you shouldn't hide IE because Firefox still has problems. I find myself having to load up IE about once a week when video or something doesn't work in firefox.
one of the requirements for getting the new PC was to use Netflix movies-on-demand, which doesn't work by default in Firefox. However, I found the IE Tab plug-in works. It spawns IE in a Firefox tab. You simply provide a list of sites to use IE instead of Firefox.
Other Firefox plugins (ad blocker, noscript, etc) do not work in the tab, but that is the tradeoff.
I helped my inlaws order a new PC. It was a decent computer at a great price. dual-core pentium 2.0Ghz, 2 Gb RAM, 500GB HD. They did opt for the nice 22" LCD monitor.
It came in yesterday, so I trekked to their house, prepared for the long night of fighting. (It came preloaded with Vista.)
I get there, go through the normal start up, and got to the desktop.
I uninstalled a bunch of crap that wasn't needed. I removed a bunch of crap from the startup. I updated the display to suit their vision and likings.
I set up the side bar with all the neat little things to look at.
I installed firefox with the appropriate plug-ins and completely hid IE.
I ran windows update to get the years worth of patches.
I plugged in the printer (USB) and turned it on.
And the WTF was:
Nothing. Microsoft didn't even put up a fight. The computer runs well. Everything they need works.
I am not mon-OS-istic*, so do consider this MS bashing. I have issues with all major OSes.
Maybe the real WTF is that I expected things to fail.
*mon-OS-istic, adj, the belief in using only one OS.
does that make agn-OS-istic - the refusal to use an OS?
function floor(number)
{
return Math.floor(number*Math.pow(10,2))/Math.pow(10,2);
}
+1 for creating a method that returns a number with 2 decimal places, as long as number has at least 2 decimal places
-1 for naming that method after a built in function
-1 for using a name that incorrectly describes what the method does
-1 for unnecessary use of pow on constanst numbers
-1 for unnecessary use of pow on constanst numbers a second time
-1 for not making sure sure that it always returns a number with 2 decimal places
