To me it seems like a good idea to adopt some of the ideas from newspapers. After all, we're talking about a publication that has been around for centuries featuring text and advertising. I know many web designers who look down on sites laid out in columns, often berating them for being too newspape...

mk27 while I agree with you that users should not be forced I support fixed-width sites. I think it is much more consistent for all users without them having to resize their browsers. IMO having to resize your browser for a bunch of websites that display lines a mile long is much more irritating. Th...

Unprofessional? Not even close. For one you can aggregate all of your IM accounts into one like Meebo that way you are open to people on any of those networks. To me it is better for a company because it allows customers to have a real time conversation with you. It is the same reason why online ban...

Posted: June 2nd, 2009, 2:59 pm
If you want to write code, I'd suggest learning programming in general (at the paradigm level). Of course you will have to learn the concepts in a particular language but the concepts are the important parts in themselves. After you fully understand a programming language you can pick up any other l...

Although you might be able to pull it off with mod_php for this amount of requests (I can't say for sure since I left mod_php a long time ago). I'd suggest using fastcgi because that way you can a bunch of backends and have your frontend do some load balancing.

MysteryLeo in regard to features I think that are missing or might want consider the following: 1. Using candle charts as the default and at least allowing users to switch between chart types. 2. Maybe more insight into how your bots are performing analysis. Personally I wouldn't just drink beer and...

I am not sure how you would do this with htaccess since I don't have Apache, but what you can do is have a wildcard CNAME in your DNS record such as *.your-site.com Then you can extract subdomains using something like
http://www....
list($subdomain) = explode('.', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 2)

I think SimpleXML is ill-equipped to handle this. Assuming that you are referring to removing a node, I'd suggest looking into Dom XML (http://us.php.net/manual/en/book.domxml.php) since it provides more methods for handling CRUD operations.

I would recommend that you get a VPS. Given the amount of traffic you are receiving I think you need the semi-dedication that a VPS affords. Personally, I would not be able to put up with this on a shared host. Look into slicehost.com you can get a 256MB slice for $20 a month.

Choosing a particular library is really about your personal style and philosophies. For me prototype + scriptaculous is great in the way Javascript is extended. The classy behavior provided by prototype syncs nicely with the way I like to write code so maybe that is why i love it so much :). I would...

Why do you have an array of queries? This seems like poor design. I can see some kind of prepared statement working for your values.
