Thx for all who respond.


talk to windwaker for that one. I was in touch with GameMakr24 and X-4000 and was about to just pay for their hosting, but nooooOOooo, windwaker came along and said he would take care of it.

.. nice work windwaker dropping the ball . i challenge you to a duel.

Self delusion or ignorance are very difficult problems generally and have many, almost universally unfortunate, consequences.

you're missing the point. His foreign policy team is made up of some very staunch convservtives with some very specific views of how the world should work. This cabinet, more than any other, is willing to act to protect what it sees as the moral integrity of the world. Frankly i could see members of his team, especially those like Wolfowitz, giving precedent to The Project for the New American Century (which many Bush cabinet members are involved in) and the ideals and actions that would logically follow.

that feature seems to defeat or undermine the entire purpose of the message board in the first place, which is a clear and organized fashion of textual communication. Removing users posts would only confuse things IMO.

i just think it adds an entirely unecessary layer to the communication process. invariably there will be posts whose sole context is based on a "hidden" user's posts, indirectly blocking off the understanding of not just a single user's message but multiple users.

Blocking a layout worked because it had no real relevance to the message at hand, where this feature would modify the messages meaning by removing context. Apparently it all comes down to whether they feel so strongly as to substitute not viewing a particular user's message that they would rather render potentially many threads unreadable. And unless you count Knuck, i don't think it would be the case.

my tip is go to while either hungover, still drunk from earlier, or still drinking. it worked out alright for me.

from what i recall when i took it, the test itself was rather easy, it was the how loooong it took that really made it suck. By the last section i really didn't care what i put down, i was just getting so anxious to leave... really more of an endurance test than an intillectual test.

I have trouble sitting still or concetrating for long, so the test was basically torture. I wish they could split it up into different days, i'm sure everyone in my boat would do a hell of alot better.

As for the number GFX: I can live without that. They may be nice due to the nice fonts/numbers, but as long there are still schemes without these graphics, it can be lived without it -too.


exactly.

instead of pointing and laughing at every user who brings this up, there is another solution... like, you know, having someone fix/remove/modify it?

i don't know, call me crazy, but i have these weird ideas about fixing things that are broken.

Posted on 03-02-05 08:29 PM, in what job do you want to do when you are older Link
what do i want to do when i grow up? Well, not that i ever plan on growing up but... i've been asking myself that very question my entire life. I still don't have an answer.

No matter what other topics i seem to get interested in, I always tend to come back to a computer related career, which is somewhat odd as sometimes i find the prospect of a computer programming job scary. It just seems so stifling and "blah". Besides the fact that there are just so many damned amazing programmers out there who's talents know no bounds, i sincerely doubt i would make much headway in the field.

But it's really all i know, so i guess i'll just fumble around until i find a nook or cranny industry to rest in for a while and make a few bucks

Posted on 03-05-05 10:55 PM, in PHP: mime_content_type return Link
I have two classes, an upload and a gallery script, that require specific file type checking, so i decided to use mime_content_type. Since this function wasn't available by default, i did as instructed on the php.net documentation and enabled mime for use of the function (uncommenting ;extension=php_mime_magic.dll in php.ini, and because i'm developing on my windows machine using WAMP, adding mime_magic.magicfile = "H:\wamp\php\extras\magic.mime" to php.ini).

great fantastic, i thought, "well that really can't get any easier". Until, that is, i actually used the function in my script. For whatever reason it returns the same MIME type of text/plain no matter which file i throw at it.

i've taken my code out of context because it only obscures what i'm trying to explain, but even something as simple and explicity passed as the following outputs the wrong MIME format every time:

echo mime_content_type('screenshots\test\upe.png');

i mean it really can't get any more simple than that, at first i was tearing apart my class looking for where it was going wrong, but seeing the error occur in such a basic and (seemingly) correct statement as above, i'm wondering if there is some sort of server setting or another oversight on my part.

Has anyone else messed around with MIME php extensions, or perhaps had a similar error with setting up another extensions? This is rather frustrating as it seems that it should be working, and i haven't been able to find anything via google to help me out. Any comments would be appreciated

yah, EXIF seems to be giving me a shitload of trouble as well. i think i would have used exif_imagetype if it was working. instead, as it suggests on the page, it does the same thing as getimagesize but faster. I suppose i'll just stick to getimagesize for now then. my code turned out something like that (somewhat out of context):


//grab the files
$files_in_dir = glob($this->screenshot_dir.'{'.$this->accepted_exten.'}', GLOB_BRACE);

// aquire MIME file types of each alleged image
foreach ($files_in_dir as $key => $file)
{
//$file = getimagesize($file);
$MIMEtypes_in_dir[$key] = exif_imagetype($file);

// if true file types match up to accepted, display
if (in_array($MIMEtypes_in_dir[$key], $this->accepted_types))
{
echo ' < a href= " '.$files_in_dir[$key].' " > '.$files_in_dir[$key].'< /a >, ';
}
}


although somewhere in there i'm having to declare both the MIME file types and the file extensions, which is redundant and not very nice. i'll have to improve on that part later, as well as find a generic MIME checking device to use with my upload class that happens to not deal specifically with images (or, in the case that the code was correct, configure my server to run it)

Posted on 03-06-05 05:51 AM, in PHP: mime_content_type return Link
because as i understand it exif_imagetype, as well as the getimagesize 'mime' index, uses something similar to mime_magic to search for cues and constants shared by an image type and is therefore evaluates the file type in spite of the file extension. i don't believe the function you gave me does that.

(key words being think and believe, i've never been very good at reading directions )
