I was thinking about the part where you check the cache with if (!$found) On that note, I adapted a rule of an open source project (can't quite remember which) that said to never use !$var to validate your data. One should always use isset(

Great work. Hope to see this evolve into a great little toolset. I have gone through your code a bit and think that you should consider error handling first. Some methods return strings on error but arrays on success but this is not validat

Great idea. I think I can make it but won't be able to support the program much. Would you reckon English as the primary language or German? Also, it's a good idea to have someone like Nils (kojote - www.silberkind.de/+) on board because he

I do not know Netflix but have you heard of Videoload? Havn't used it either but my guess is that there are no current movies out soon after their cinematic release on that platform, as well. ITunes Germany had some TV shows one day after t

The concept is a bit different, at the moment. Creating copies of copyrighted material _could_ be possible with scanners, printers, CD and DVD burners ... The fee you pay on those and other devices is rather to pay for illegal copies that a

Interesting. These icons don't work in the latest Firefox but the ones used for the iPhone Demo do.

Does anybody else get the feeling there might be some clever marketing agency behind all this? Louis persona seems so well thought out and is applied in every aspect. I never met the guy but it is astonishing how well he is following his kn

There are quite a lot of companies that have applications that rely on IE6. I, personally, know of a few financial institutions that can't update. This might not be necessarily related to their systems not being able to work with a newer ve

And here I thought that all non-updated IE versions were installed in environments where Sysadmins blocked the updates (and will in the future). It would be interesting to see a number of how many installations this change could really targ

Badoo is big in France, Spain, Italy - how much more Western Europe can it get?

I don't think it is the same: http://ow.ly/i/iHzx (I don't know if they wanted to be funny or what but it's very crude and inappropriate to open with "iDeath" and that image).

Dependent on the state of mind, one might even have done something like this (as I can't tell the language used in the example): this.MyControl.TabPages = new Array(); Try to find something like this when the problem you are confronted with

Thank you, financial disasters of the past. For the Europeans: If you order the printed book with the 50% off voucher with the cheaper postage fee, you still won't pay much more than 25 Euros. Oh, and thank you for making that book. That's

This is mostly the same reaction I had when I read the redesign article. Andy blatantly chose to define what is news to drive his design. For example he defined that the most read articles list is not news. Like, the front page of Hacker Ne

You obviously haven't been working with companies in the financial sector. Those Fortran developers you always hear about, this is were they are working. Many companies in that sector use rather old systems that can't be replaced. Some of t

I use PIE for a charting software we created at my company. Here are some problems we had: The latest release of PIE is used for IE7 and IE8 but we had some issues with it in IE6 where it would throw JavaScript errors. In addition, there is

Imho the best example for this is that the Motorola Droid comes with multi-touch features in Europe, as opposed to the Droid of all countries were Apple holds the multi-touch patent.

It looks to me as if there is a z-index problem and the position is not upheld correctly in IE6. In IE9 there is a difference in the linear gradient color. No catastrophes there, imho.

Best plug-in of the year, so far. Apart from what it says, I do not see problems in IE7 or IE8 (there is some style issues in IE9, though). Also, it is nearly working in IE6. I think I'll try to diddle around with some z-index and CSS stuff

Great that they removed the preface from the example chapters. Now, you can't find out what has changed in this edition. I saw a reference to StackOverflow in the introduction that I guess wasn't there in the previous version. But apart fro

I tried your app and liked it. But there is no way to get in contact with you easily. Try to offer a simple contact form to send in feedback. And - I can't believe I am saying that - make it visibly beta. Because I would really like to use
