I think they are both fundamentally important. Those who disagree tend to be mediocre developers, or inexperienced developers.

You can also just paint the irises black if you're handy with the paint tool.

More than just IE not implementing things, you should be aware that form elements in particular (like drop down lists), have very different support across many browsers. You will not be able to style...

Not true. Just wrap that word in a span, give it a class, and give that class a margin in your css.

Yeah, javascript can set the scroll bar location, look into that.

You're not wrong in your thinking. If you believe the link is valuable to your visitors and they they will create business for you, then do it. Focus on your visitors first, then your search engine...

It may not be strictly necessary the the original poster is simply wrong that it will hurt. That's nonsense. Every little bit helps.

Anything that sounds tricky won't work. The best way to top the search engines is to write quality content consistently, and for a long time.

You can help your chances by having clean, semantic,...

There is no real ASP .NET OSS equivalent. There are options, as mentioned, like PHP and RoR, but they are not as scalable or pwoerful as the .NET framework.

Java is generally considered slower,...

You probably need a separate print style sheet. Google that.

I've never heard this before, and a priori it seems wrong. Google indexes information by domain name, not IP address.

If what you read is true, then a site like http://www.kensharpe.net might rank...

My understanding is that PercentLoaded is IE specific. Why aren't you doing what most flash videos do, and display the percent loaded actually in the movie?

It's not really new. This is how one passes information from a server side language to the javascript. Problem has already been solved, sorry 8)

To create a profile like on myspace, you should go to myspace.com and create a new profile.

Silly questions, silly answers?

Na, you can just measure. If you use ajax instead of refreshing the whole page, you will have a chance right after the ajaz call is made successfully to check the position of the scroll bar. If it's...

You need to google something called Regex or Regular Expressions.

That code is insane. Horribly inefficient -- here's what you need to do instead.

Execute a query that gets a COUNT of all the records.

Get a random number between 1 and that count. We'll call...

Not sure about that serk. It'll work, but it's expensive. Might it be cheaper to have a stored procedure check for the record first, then insert if one is not found?

Sounds a little like homework, no? Tsk tsk.

Yeah, your problem is probably that you're trying to connect to the sql express App_Data database, rather than the the sql server instance you meant to.

Well, why don't you contact the sensor manufacturer and ask them? The question has no general answer -- it totally depends on how they are made.

You're confusing yourself, that's why you can't find anything on google.

If you have a VB application that needs to upload something to a server, the the vb application needs to connect to the...

I didn't understand your post. You want the column to be a link that displays the user name but gives the userid to the click or command methods?

Seriously, just start coding. If you hit a problem, google your issue and most of the time, you'll find a solution, if not, ask a specific question on a forum like this one.

Not clear -- you want to find 10 words before, and 10 after any keyword, but only if the words are inside a paragraph?

Like, the keyword is the firs word in a given paragraph, so you'd only want...

Just for the record, it's a better idea to have the "complete syntax" as you say, rather than leave it up to interpretation.

For example, let's say your code had worked without specifying the...

csy is probably correct. Here's how it works:

You tell a datagrid to display certain data. That data is sitting somewhere else, like a database, then a copy of it is made to display in that...

You're getting yourself a bit confused, Acidburn. ASP .NET and WinForms are two different worlds entirely. ASP .NET is strictly for web-based application development, meaning that everything you...

Normally that exception means that there is a method that is defined in a base class that is meant to implemented in a child class. The child class doesn't implemented it, so the base class throws...

What line throws your exception?

Paul Graham talks about hackers as artists. You should google his essays, they are fantastic.

C++ is the industry standard for engine programming, but a lot of heavy lifting is done by scripting languages like Lua and Python. Also, if you're thinking of web-based games, then you might look at...

Good idea, Salem.

Link back here with your work in progress, I'm curious how it turns out.

You should just try to implement the game, and go from there. You'll soon discover the scope of objects you need, then you'll be able to ask more specific questions about it.

Data Dictionaries are for database integration and migration, not for designing modular systems.

Online degrees are still generally looked down upon, but if you can find a program associated with a real university, you'll be fine. There are many programs like that, depending on what you'd like...
