  1. I recently experienced a problem like this. I had a proxy server running as a Windows Service that receives requests from multiple users on a machine and from other machines. I couldn't solve the problem of writing log files from multiple threads even with using mutexes or using the Synchronized TextWriters.I ended up writing a Queue that a write job would get added to and then the queue would iterate over it's jobs and write the logs every so often.
  2. Well said. Makes you wish Gore had won in the recount. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_election_recount
  3. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.
  4. It doesn't stand out well on the website. The suggestion to make it more promonent has been made to the site owners but as of yet they have not made any changes.
  5. Just happy I could help you out.

  6. ASP.Net and PHP are very different.ASP.Net is...1) mainly a framework and runtime that compiles to a common language (CLR)2) a compiled (optional) language3) statically typed (by default unless you use something like F#)4) allows you to use the language you prefer like C#, VB, IronPython, IronRuby, F#, etc5) completely object oriented6) Windows and IIS only (unless you use the Mono Project [open source port of .Net by Novell] but it has limitations and some issues)7) hosting is generally more expensivePHP is...1) an interpretted language2) dynamically typed3) traditionally a procedural language but PHP5 gave it a huge boost when it comes to OO4) open source5) platform independant6) hosting is generally cheaper and easier to find
  7. Welcome to the forums. Just as a suggestion, forget about ASP...it is no longer supported by Microsoft and development stopped around 2000. IMO it is not worth your time as it really has no future except if you need to support legacy code.

    Python?

    I think it is a misconception that Python is faster than PHP. Python has been optimized for mathematical algorithms so in that respect it will blow PHP out of the water but if you compare which language can server more web pages in a period of time you find that PHP is noticeably faster.

    Python?

    My opinion is that it's not as hard as C++ and not as easy as PHP. I have been reading the Python documentation lately and it has some nice syntax. Python is a functional programming language. Lambdas are a good example of the syntax sugar that Pytho has. Django is a nice MVC framework for Python and IMO is a better choice than RoR.
  10. Unless you really have your heart set on ASP it is probably a waste of time as it is dying out. There are very few companies/websites using ASP and the some of the ones that do (that I have noticed) are slowly transitioning to ASP.Net.
  11. There is no BEST language to use. You need to evaluate what is best for you based on current knowledge, hosting limitations, possible customer requirements, and the application itself.PHP is extremely popular. I use both PHP and ASP.Net. Both langages are about as far apart as you can get. There are many things I like and dislike about both. PHP is probably one of the easiest languages to get started with as just about very host supports it (including alot of free hosts).CF is not used a lot but there are still many that love it, just ask Skemcin if you are interested in knowing more about CF.I only suggested ASP.Net because you mentioned you wanted to learn ASP.
  12. Welcome to the forums. I would recommend ASP.Net, ASP is no longer support by Microsoft. You can get some great info and video tutorials here http://www.asp.net/. Good luck.
  13. I heard that MS will be forcing IE7 in another automatic update. Although there is an opt-out and some don't have updates turned on this should help get rid of some more IE6. I can't wait for IE6 to be gone forever!
  14. yes as long as you have IIS setup with ASP enabled. If you need further discussion on this please start a new thread in the ASP forum.
  15. I have previously said that I liked Notepad2. This is no longer the case. Notepad2 starts chugging when files get big. This may not become and issue for HTML or PHP, etc but it is unusable when opening large configuration files.
  16. The color scheme and layout does make things hard to find.It would be nice if they could at least overhaul the color sheme (CSS) and makes easier to read.
  17. The Brits have come up with a 2Gigbit/sec network. Not sure when it becomes available to the UK public but it is pretty safe to assume that the gov is already using it. You can send Britannica to Shoreditch in 7 sec, where ever Shoreditch is http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/ne...ticle737972.ece
  18. My ISP recently upgraded me to 15 megabits/sec here are the new results

    you can make them block then float them.

    Domain Name

    Well, firstly I would put as much as possible in the CSS but for things out side the CSS I think a seesion variable would be best for keeping track. Or possibly a cookie that way every visit to the site loads the last theme they chose. I like when sites remember what I like and load it for me

    Domain Name

    ok, you had me worried for a minute. Another reason I prefer links is it makes it easy to use conditional comments when adding stylesheets for ie.
  22. aspnetguy

    Domain Name

    is there an special reason you guys are not including your stylesheets like this? <link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="/css/print.css" type="text/css" /> What is the benefit of using import url()? Seems like just a bunuch of needless code on each page.

    Domain Name

    best way to know is to ask the artist. They almost always say yes, especially if you give them credit somewhere on the site.
  24. aspnetguy

    Domain Name

    create a new stylesheet for print <link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="print.css" type="text/css" /> Then you can do this img{ display: none;}
  25. You can use something like http://dean.edwards.name/packer/. It removes all comments and extra whitespace fromt he file making it smaller and downlaods faster. You can download JSDecompress here http://www.geekdaily.net/downloads/jsdecompress.zipSorry for taking so long to get it uploaded.
