But I would say from watching cboard all the time that a very high percentage of CS students (like 25%+) seem to be using primarily linux. Hell, I could say from watching the news that 90% of gay people are in favor of gay marriage, but without knowing the percentage of gay people relative to the e...

If I change the "OZZU" in the URL to "SOMETHING ELSE" it actually prints "SOMETHING ELSE" on the page... so it is totally controlled by what is written in the URL. Yes. The form will not be in the page that RECEIVES the query string*, which is the page you see. Technic...

It is browser-based, Joe and mk27 we're not required to download anything. Browser-based. Then they are lying. If you have a windows box, try it and see if you can discern a point where they "serendipitously" install something without making that clear, which AFAIK is still not illegal. T...

Technology is a crazy and unpredictable thing. We take for granted things now that even wacko optimists were not predicting 50 years ago.

Okay, if I have this straight they have simply gone overboard with their product in a bad way, which would be 1) probably much easier to use, and 2) certainly much less invasive, if it were web based. If they have to install stuff on your computer, it is not web based, it is "private" netw...

In fact the last time I trimmed was on January 19th, 2008. Well fool it will grow faster if you trim it a 1/8-1/4" a week. In the spring I was doing double viking braids! But that was a little too hard a sell with the mohawk so now I am down to "Wolverine" style sideburns. Low key. B...

You'll need to use a Server-side Scripting Language to retrieve the GET variable ( ?variable=value ) from the URL , and to generate a dynamic page using that variable. Actually CGI can be done in absolutely any language, as a CGI process is a "black box" that simply works with STDIN and S...

Huh. That's what you miss using skins!
I heard they also found trace quantities of CLR on the moon, which explains why it still virtually free of corrosion after all these years.

The ?a=OZZU is a query string. These are submitted using a <form>. The form may not be visible on the page. For example: [code] <form action="process.cgi" id="theform"> <input type="hidden" value="OZZU" name="a"> </form> [...

For starters, I would not use dreamweaver, it will just be confusing. Use a normal text editor with highlighting for Visual Basic. If those html pages are generated server-side by VB/.NET, be aware that what you want to work with is NOT the html pages (another reason I suspect Dreamweaver will be po...

Well the next time I am drunk and bored enough, I think I'll db all the facebook users, batch out some obituaries, and then get everyone memorialized. That'll be a great one for google news: ALL FACEBOOK USERS MYSTERIOUSLY DEAD! SAD DAY FOR SOCIAL NETWORKING DUDE! I think I may need a few more boxes...

Not to go too far off topic, :roll: The line in red would seem to indicate something, since the web is not exclusively a commercial environment -- vis, these statistics are for commercial developers and do not reflect the totality of things. Do news site count as "commercial sites that focus o...

W3schools isn't representative of the browsing public at large. C'mon. Their stats are not based on visits to W3C! It looks to me like the difference might stem from the fact that they count "the last 25000 visits to all sites" as opposed to the last 25 gazillion visits anywhere, in which...

You must read completely different stats than I do. Out of all the sites I host, FF never goes beyond 25%.
According to W3C FF accounts for 45-50% of browser use:
