Tonight, I was reading several CP articles, and readers' comment threads.
I was puzzled by observing, many times, on page re-load, a delay, while the Status Bar showed: "waiting for FaceBook."
On my computer, I have FaceBook completely blocked, as I do Twitter, LinkedIn, and a few thousand other sites.
I personally regard FaceBook, and Twitter, et. al., as modern equivalents of "the Black Death," in terms of their destruction of the collective intelligence of the human species:
"One citizen avoided another, hardly any neighbour troubled about others, relatives never or hardly ever visited each other. Moreover, such terror was struck into the hearts of men and women by this calamity, that brother abandoned brother, and the uncle his nephew, and the sister her brother, and very often the wife her husband. What is even worse and nearly incredible is that fathers and mothers refused to see and tend their children, as if they had not been theirs." Giovanni Boccaccio, describing the Black Death in Florence: Introduction to "The Decameron," Vol. 1., 1348 CE., translated by Richard Aldington, 1930 CE Is CP doing something with FaceBook: oh, please, let the answer be: "no."

It's just the "Like" button.
Some people dislike Facebook. Some people like to use it to share what they find. Both are fine in my book.

Hi Chris,
That there should be like buttons, or whatever, for FB, Twit, etc., doesn't bother me in the least.
However, seeing page-loads delay because they are "waiting for FaceBook" bothers me, and makes me curious: if all that's happening is loading an IMG tag with a small FB logo with an associated Click event, and a page URL, shouldn't the graphic get load once and then get cached, and never need loading again, since the only thing changing per page would be the URL associated with the IMG's Click event ?
thanks, Bill

The article (PHP Security[^]) has an introductory text like " It may appear that most PHP scripts aren't sensitive to security concerns; this is mainly due to the large number of inexperienced programmers working in the language. " which is kind of a derogatoary and disgusting comment besides being defamatory in nature against the PHP application.

Hardly defamatory, and given the many samples of poorly written, and downright dangerous code presented by posters here, it is more than likely true.
Use the best guess

I admit that the thought carried by the body of the article is true but the introductory (opening) text is very dis-heartening and not expected from the profile of a person who is supposedly leading an organization. At least that offending text can be removed off.

Quote: It looks like the author is based out of a mom-pop shop in Pune, India and trying to garner traffic and business by such cheap tactics.
Please give due respect to authors. We have no buisness to get involved in his/her private life. If we find such things can be improved, we can always have a word with the author to correct the statements. Even I agree whatever statments the author has made on PHP security about "inexperienced programmers working in the language" is not correct.
Thanks,

This has been fixed : "PHP" has been changed in "PHP and Visual Basic" in this sentence.
OK, OK, I leave.

CP does not support inline image uploading AFAIK because of security issues. You may however have an image uploaded to Skydrive or Dropbox and link it up to the thread.

You have the very useful "Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads" but it doesn't work if the thread starts on another page.
Also, using the Ctrl+right goes to the next message, unless it is on the next page - in which case I use Shift+Ctrl+right to go to the next page and then selected the first message. The problem with this is that often the message sequence on a given page has changed due to extra messages having arrived in the meantime. If Ctrl+right just went to the next message, regardless of the page this would be a lot easier (for the user).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Any plans to update the code frames/windows to have line numbers or horizontal scroll (to stop the confusing word wrapping)?
Would be useful, esp in tutorial articles where you want to callout specific lines?

Currently, we can report questions for 5 reasons:
- Unclear or Incomplete
- Repost
- Not a question
- Off-topic
- Spam/abusive
But I suggest a 6th reason: Homework
- Unclear or Incomplete
- Repost
- Not a question
- Off-topic
- Spam/abusive
- Homework
I post this suggestion because currently I report homework questions as "Not a question", but "Homework" is a more specific reason.

Actually I think Code-Begging is a more accurate description, especially because I would cover all the "Urgenzz. Gimme codezzz!!!" too.
|
|
|
|
|
Code-Begging can be a 7th option, because not all Homework questions are "Gimme codezzzzz!!!" questions.

Why can't people ask homework questions?
If they are abusing the community then mark it as abuse.
If they are pasting in something that hasn't been boiled down to a specific question (egeg pasting in an assignment that asks them to write something) mark it as not a question.
If they truly need help with a question, is there a problem.
Bonus question: if they reworded the question and posted it and didn't tell you it was actually directly transferable to a homework question, would you know and would you care?
