Re: The Price of (Gas || Petrol)

Being Dollar dirt cheap right now, current price changes do not really affect people in Europe. 2-4 years ago we got really dramatic changes and it was on front pages everywhere, now it's merely a news. I don't have a car right now - mainly because I travel so much because of my work, that I wouldn'...

Re: Charts on internet

I just got linked to something by Techie-Micheal which might be useful to you: http://code.google.com/apis/chart :) I had a look on google, and I have seen quite a interesting project called Google Chart API, so my last idea is to create come kind of graphical internal layer which would generate ei...

Re: Charts on internet

I probably right about Flash and youtube... Still I really like the SVG idea. It's not that I need displaying graphs for every user nor that charts are essential part of my tool (it would be more like add-on). You probably also right saying that SVG is not ready yet, but the real question is if it w...

Re: Monopoly

I start to think that everything in IT business tends to monopoly and it's the only stable state in any new technology. Sometimes you cannot really decide when blessing of one and only standard becomes hated for all monopoly. Having one site for all auctions used to be a good thing... :( Thankfully ...

Charts on internet

Lately I started to think about doing some coding for my old project (surveying scripts in PHP) and I decided that I want to add some basic chart functionality. It has been a while since I was seeing any code besides ABAP so I started evaluating alternatives...and I'm stuck. I must have lost touch w...

Re: Legally bound to manifesto.

As much as I would like some politicians to keep their word, I would like others to change their mind :) Legally binding is not a solution because it's not flexible enough. The whole idea of governing of country by proxies is based on flexibility of those to take their decisions. It's a basic manage...

Isn't this ironic - You don't regard yourself as someone beliving in supernatural happenings, but you still belive you have supernatural powers of reading someone's mind, and knowing exacly what makes others believe in any religion.

What I really would like to know is why they are so sure he was this Jesus. I mean, I live in Spain right now and I know at least 5 different guys with this name and so many Marias that I would have problems counting them all. I'm not a specialist of the antique history, but it seems possible to me ...

Oh and vista is crap. Its like XP media center, just with a new look and (in some cases) voice recognition. It will not stop you in changing to Vista in few years :wink: Maybe I just grew older but everytime Windows release the new version there are opinions about how much better is the older syste...

You could think of it as scary because it will help script kiddies, but you could also think of it as beneficial, because it will help spur developers into focusing more on these sorts of vulenrabilities. The problem is that the developers do have this tool already. They just need run grep in their...

Google CodeSearch - good or evil?

Recently I found out that Google provides a new tool (for the moment it's still in GoogleLabs), which allows you to search for specific strings in public source code. It sounds pretty cool and it is a great tool, but... It makes increibly easy to search programs, which can be compromised. Let's take...
