Not a rant really but...does anyone remeber when they very first got into programming?
I remember I was in 7th grade and I wanted to make a game as a project for my aviation class. I had no idea how such things worked (but I was still much more tech savvy than anyone I knew). I remember I asked my math teacher (who happened to teach QBasic also) what I should use to make a small airplane game. So I got home and started on making this game with QBasic. Everything went fairly well until I got to the part where I was going to make graphics. I made a plane graphic (by using a color grid, different number for each pixel). It was then I realized that QBasic sucks.

I remember those days... it was back when after reading the first page of a book.... you already knew more than your teacher... but hell for the first.... ~3-4 years of programming... I never had anyone to ask questions... no internet... no programming savvy people at school... just books, testing, and DEBUGGING to learn from...

New rant: anti-JavaScript newbies
There are newbies who say that they want to do something in PHP that can be more easily done in JavaScript. They even post JavaScript code that they want to turn into PHP. It makes me mad.

There are anti-JavaScript newbies cuz you can turn JS off...and you can't turn PHP off...
And any control you give to the client is more control you take away from your scripts...

the problem with JS is that I DO NOT CONTROL THE CLIENT it's that simple. Different browsers use different versions and all kinds of stuff. If I can keep it server side I do.

JavaScript is the other side of PHP.
It's designed not to give you the control over client operation, (any language that do it on client side, isn't a language, is a trojan...) but for interact with him.
And so i find REALLY useless disable the JavaScript on your pc...

This is the point. I'm saing
"You disable JavaScript ? I can't validate your form and if there is any error you'll get at the next page. If you don't want three pages loaded for a missing '@' let be JavaScript enabled. Else you pay for three pages load time."
And i do the same test on var in php too, JS or not JS.
(an example from phpbuilder: go at your pm page, don't check any msg and click "delete"... it load a page to tells you "you don't have checked nothing". Then you go back at pm page. Three page Vs a simple javascript (enabled or not).)
And so if people want "turn off" PHP, just don't load the page with ".php" extension. (myself, some time, when i look .asp press stop.)
/me wear red/blue stretch tights and fly to save JS :D
Ops, i'm a bit OT...
I want rant for the guys who post for regexp and don't wan't find it self the right solution !!! :cool:

Yes that is one thing that is pretty much agreed on. If you are using all caps it is 1) annoying and 2) (can be) offensive. You don't use all capitals when you write a letter, and you shouldn't when you ask for help either.

My bad; I should've specifed the timezone from the beginning.
Still, you live and learn.
More accurately: if you don't learn, you don't live.

Some people need to learn the meaing of "advice".
ad·vice
n.

I'm going to bump this thread with a rant. Sue me.
Nah, I won't bother with actually ranting. I'll just cite people who ask Newbie questions in the coding forum and ask for special consideration beause they're Newbies. As if having a forum dedicated to their special needs isn't enough.

<font> tags. C'mon people! They've been obsolete since last century. Last millennium, even. There's no browser in the world today that recognises fonts at all but doesn't know what to do with a font style, so what's your excuse?
And something I've learned when trying to help people: never make two suggestions. If you do, they'll start reading, see the first suggestion, try it, and if it doesn't work they'll immediately tell you as much ( "Doesnt work :(") and that's it. All of the other suggestions you made probably didn't even get past their retinas. Next day, they'll bump.

How about the posted 10,000 times questions like these... (I didn't bother to cite specific examples, because we've all seen them a hundred times)
Can anyone tell me how to make those little page x of x links at the bottom of my page when I have hundreds of results. (I must be the first person in the world who thought of this refreshing idea.) <mytake>How hard is it? Even when I didn't know it was called pagination, it still didn't take me long to find the answer</mytake>
AND
Which editors are good? <my take>C'Mon folks. When I first started, I googled until I found my answer. If you're too freakin stupid or lazy to google something like this, then why bother to even try to learn PHP.</mytake>
If you don't know how to do the simple things on a computer, then do yourself a favor. Take your PC back to the store for a refund, go to your local Wal-Mart and buy a pad of paper, a box of pencils, a deck of cards, and a book of stamps, since obviously all you know how to do is write and send email and play solitaire. Blow the other $1000.00 on beer!

I have a junior "tech guy" who is learning, slowly. Probably the fact that he's in college 3 days a week doesn't help, BION.
So the other day we wanted to migrate my wife's box from a 20GB to a 120GB HDD. "Ok, Bob. Set up WinXP Home on this 120GB drive, install MS Backup on both it and the 120GB HDD from the XPH CD, and we'll do a backup and restore from the 20 to the 120 when I get back."
When I get back, he's finishing up the "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard". (Did I mention FAST in all that above?). Whatever he did, he got things so that the 20GB was F:/, the 120 was C:/, and the machine wouldn't boot without BOTH drives in place. Registry was full of references to F:\some\path\to\important\stuff.
'Twas a very Good Thing that I'd got up early and stuck it in the server - `cp -Rp /mnt /backup/house/` ... but it took me a freakin' hour and a half to figure out what in the world to do to fix it..... grrrrr... :mad:
And then, to top it, I did the restore, and now the 120GB bluescreens every time.
Bob should work for Microsoft. ;)

Heh, I'm on a *remote* location ATM.
Besides, he's only in office 9-5 on Tuesday. Thursday he's on "field duty", which lately has consisted of mowing the grounds and digging holes or carrying stuff for my wife. And the rest of the time he's in college. I hope he learns how to code soon; I'm getting up to my ears in projects again.
Maybe I just need to get off my chair (and the forums) and get busy...
On a somewhat related note, yesterday I met with the "Assistant Director" and the "Director" of a granted agency near here. The Director I'd not met before; interesting to talk to --- lives in Missouri, but grew up in Wales and spent most of her life so far in Australia.
And the funny thing; they want me to do a "intraweb" app for them ... but they have a guy with a 4-year CS degree on staff. I guess his job is just to help the secretaries with their Word docs and Outlook attachments?
<heh, lucky turkey, him. That stuff is cake.....>

Okay, so this is the second old thread I've dug up so far this week, but it's apropos here.
Not so much a rant at the moment, more a puzzling observation.
Is it my imagination or is it observer bias or is it truly the case that especially dumb posts come through in waves? I mean, their lips are moving but I can't make out a single thing that they're saying. Or when I can, it's just someone wanting a handout.

So, who (because I'm simply not smart enough to do it) is going to figure out the mathematics that could define/explain this phenom?

Hmm. My boy "Bob" has been doing better of late. Hanging around me might be paying off. I know that it does for me --- I learned a lot from myself whilst RTFM and Googling.... ;-)
AAMOF, "Bob" did a real good job a week or two ago. I was out of town, 6 hours away, and got a call from my oldest (first) client --- financial database machine is down. I figure I know what's up, called "Bob" and told him to get down there on it. He did, it was fixed, and I enjoyed my "away" visit.
Now, to stay OT: DELL suxors. Ever tried to fit aftermarket parts in a low-end DELL of the type most home lusers purchase? Ever quoted OEM parts?
How about: fill in "online form" for parts quote. Response: "Thanks, information received! Someone will contact you at the email address you indicated in 4 business hours."
Next *morning* I've an email, half hour after we open. "We can't help you without a customer number"? Huh? You don't freakin' know what a motherboard costs for the machine I gave you a unique Service Code for? So, I have to call (India??) and nobody there can give me a customer number, or tell me what anything costs. If I wasn't a no-good dirty scoundrel I'd still be on the phone. From now on, everybody gets a black box.... :mad:
