Well, he needs a MySQL guy, though he doesn't know it. My question: wrestle23, what is it, on that list or otherwise, that [i]you're[/i] good at, that someone should want to partner with you? "The English language" is already crossed off the list...

It's all about what kind of game you want to make. If it's a "next generation" of today's your-PC-does-nothing-else resource-intensive first-person shooters (and personally, I can't think of anything more boring), yeah, it's gonna be mostly C++. And you'd better be some kind of rogue math genius. An independent developer …

Remember, if you hit a man over the head with a fish, he had a headache for a day. But if you teach a man to hit himself over the head with a fish, he has headaches for the rest of his life.

Regular non-Ubuntu Debian isn't even on the list? Harsh, yo. No love for CentOS either, I see...

Meta tags are certainly not going to stop being relevant for as long as Google continues displaying the meta description in SERPs. The text that appears there is your 'creative', as it's called in advertising, and it can make the difference between you getting the click and someone else getting …

As always: [i]how[/i] does it fail? What happens, how does that differ from your expectations, what debugging information do you get? (Tip: go to Tools > Internet Options, Advanced tab, and make sure "Browsing: Display a notification about every script error" is [b]on[/b] and "Browsing: Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer)" …

Try [icode]if(!form1.paid.value.match(/^(\d+|\d*\.(\d+))$/))[/icode].

Hope you'll excuse the thread necromancy, but how did this turn out? kidprogrammer, if you see this, are you interested in posting your updated code for further critique?

And... what? You want us to write the rest for you?

Game development shops consider 'gaming degrees' a joke. Your friend is blowing sunshine up his own degree program.

Though I'm not looking to sign on, I do applaud your work. I suggest that the next step on the "Student -> Dropout -> ?" path is Hippie. :)

Try using the CSS cursor property on the image button to control the cursor's appearance.

The original post suggests a benefit to be derived from googling 'arguing on the internet'.

No. You'll need a simple script to do this in PHP or whatever language you're going to be using on top of MySQL.

Try this: [icode]eval('document.' +Imgname+'.src = ''+sImage+''');[/icode] You are probably in dire need of debugging feedback; lots of people seem to think they have to write JavaScript using solely their imagination. I recommend loading up your page in Firefox and looking at Tools > Error Console.

I can say with great conviction that this is the wrong forum. Whatever you wind up doing about your crawler, I sincerely doubt that you will do it in JavaScript. (I also hope and pray that this is the case, for your sake.)

Wow. Mathematical verification of requirements. Didn't we kinda get over 'proving software correct' in the late 70s?

Yeah, that's correct.

Hey, he doesn't need to use regular expressions. A hash will do fine.

That'll do it. Don't forget to mark the thread solved. :)

Is that 8 gig symmetric, or 8 gig download / something craptastic upload? If your ISP is selling you a service intended for Joe Sixpack, its upload speed (which is what determines how fast people out on the internet can access you, rather than you accessing them) is likely to …

A design for the type of schema that was recommended to you might look like the following. I've made various changes to what you provided in order to correct SQL syntax and according to my personal ideas about best practices; hope you don't mind the latter. [code=sql] CREATE TABLE `user` …

I recommend daily tables. For applications like these, I use a template table called something like [icode]lotsofdata_template[/icode] and individual per-day tables called [icode]lotsofdata_[i]YYYYMMDD[/i][/icode], e.g. [icode]lotsofdata_20080729[/icode] for today. It has a cost in the complexity of the code that deals with the tables, since if you're concerned about more than one …

I do not believe that is actually the case. MySQL has no concept of triggering on a time of day (which is to say, scheduling). If you want something to happen at 10:00 PM, you need to use whatever scheduling support your OS provides (cron, on Unix systems, Scheduled Tasks …

MySQL has an involved permissioning system that can take some getting used to. [url=http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/grant.html]Their documentation[/url] is, naturally, the best place to start. kevin wood, it seems likely that your new MySQL install simply doesn't have the old server's permission information at all, and needs to be set up with it. …

You should mark the thread solved so people don't waste time on it.

If you have any interest in Web form usability, you may find my [url=http://lostsouls.org/grimoire_form_autofocus]Web form autofocus JavaScript[/url] snippet useful. The idea is simple: if a user is presented with a form, they should be able to start typing right away in the most appropriate place. As all of us know …

Change the onSubmit version to just [icode]onSubmit="return chkrange(this)"[/icode]. Inside the form tag, [icode]this[/icode] already refers to the form.

If your customer hunts you down and shoots you after receiving the first increment, you don't get to write future increments.

You might find [url]http://sauerbraten.org[/url] useful.

Y'know, that sorta looks less like a 'challenge' and more like an actual forum abuse script.
