I recently had to compare jQuery, YUI (2.0), and Ext for a project heavy on AJAX, client-side data sorting and filtering, and dynamic graphing. Here's my take on them. (Note that I already knew jQuery and was looking at YUI and Ext as pote

Yes. Try disabling the Skype plugin and the .Net plugin if you have them installed. I found that tip in the Firefox support forums. (Will post a link if I have time to find it again.) It worked for me and several other people I know who

This guy may be making this up or exaggerating claims, as others here suggest. But does it seem odd to anyone that Zahi Hawass can simply dismiss the claims outright with the bizarre statement that "There are no new discoveries to be made a

It's interesting that a lot of people feel that glossy screens look better in the showroom. When I'm in an Apple Store or a Best Buy or wherever, the overhead lighting is often so bright that all you can see on glossy laptop screens is gla

If it's ironic because expectations of how news blogs gather news and conduct business are much lower than that of traditional news organizations, then that's actually quite troubling. I'd say it's completely fair to expect attribution when

I remember hearing about the Q Drum several years ago: http://other90.cooperhewitt.org/Design/q-drum Basically, it's a low-tech solution to the problem of cheaply transporting water with manual labor. Granted, it's not a large-scale solut

If you'd find it helpful to read up on what features Drupal offers, so you can compare with what you know about Joomla, I just wrote an article on this last night: http://returncontrol.com/what-does-drupal-provide-out-of-the... In the art

"Naïve college students really are / were too young to be baited into these traps" I'm not so sure you can say college students are being preyed upon. While a lot of college freshmen are 17, the majority of college students are over 18 -

Thanks for that info -- definitely a helpful bit of ammo. Would still love to see some stats from a general pool, though, if anyone knows where to find them. You could argue that just because MS stopped supporting the versions doesn't mean

Does anyone know where to get current stats on IE5.0 and IE5.5 use? I'm guessing it's below 1% if you look at a wide variety of "general use" sites, like portals and news, but it'd be great to have some solid data on that -- especially to

I think my reaction would be the same as if I got a resume from someone printed on 8.5 x 11 paper -- I'd ask the candidate to send me an electronic copy via email. :) Seriously, though, I've been the hiring manager for a number of positions

When news reports were first brought to television, they often consisted of an anchor at a desk simply "speaking" the news to the viewers. Now, television news has taken on its own format that's very different from the printed format -- ev

It's great that you want to get involved -- nonprofits can always use more tech assistance. But note that there are already quite a few orgs serving the tech needs of the nonprofit sector. TechSoup (where I used to work) helps greatly with

Just curious: Why are ereg_ functions never to be used? If you need to handle POSIX compatible regular expressions instead of PCRE, wouldn't you use ereg_ instead of preg_ ? (Or am I wrong about this?)

Some of the older versions of the site used to link to this download: http://www.visualjquery.com/visual_jquery.zip I'm not sure if that zip contains files for an older version of jQuery, but it's worth a shot.

It makes sense if you're looking for a "smart money" situation where, beyond the investment, you want the experience, guidance, and contacts that the investor has to offer.
