Well for the super huge ones, you know the ones bigger than mosts people's actual posts here , yeah we could do without them. And you do realize the center tag is now deprecated Lantis (since HTML 4.01). You know they have these things called web standards now, you should check them out, they're awesome.

Though it is true you can't do it in a non-deprecated way on a forum, since they don't allow CSS style attributes for tags (for good reason).

*waits for [center] BBCode command*

I didn't understand one word in the above post...

It's ok Facts, Lantis probably won't either. He'll just continue coding in VB, ignorant to such things as coding standards, cause Microsoft doesn't believe in them.

That's what they get for relying on 56k in the first place.

I know some people don't even have the option of high-speed, but that's what they get for living out in the boonies.

And you can't through pricing into the factor. High-speed prices have dropped significantly over the past few years.

Not to put the gem in your donut, but so has dial up, many people can get that for $5 a month, whereas high speed is $25 for DSL only 5 times as fast as dialup. So still a bargin for people where internet is not a priority in their life. I know it's hard to imagine, but the internet is not totally neccessary for living (though it's becoming more so every day).

Yeah, I know. When I left my job as a computer tech at the Computer Doctor. I was missing the internet for half a year before I landed my Network Admin possition I'm in now.

But $5 bucks for net? Wow... But then again... it's dial-up.

*drops sig to make lantis mad*

i was never much of a sig person any way.

maybe i'll go for some nicely non centered words =P

I CAnT lIve WiTHouT ThE iNteRnET ^-6

<div align="center">
I'm centered using W3C standards.


</div>

I'm completely lost...

haha lantis got owned... -.- microsoft junkie.

*dubs this the nerd page*

oh.... you whores.

have this.

''In his short autobiography, “My Own Life,â€

Not when I could just ignore your post .

An Ix I was not aware div tags were allowed. Seems a bit dangerous to me (though it does seem the style attribute is unallowed, so probably can't do anything that bad with them).

<div align="right">Hello</div>

Still not XHTML 1.0 Strict standard, or XHTML 1.1 standard. So it's only slightly better than center tags.

And for Regal, there are things called coding standards, which makes it easier to know if your code will work or not on a system complying with said standards. Without these people are free to completely code however they want without thought or planning, and then it's a nightmare to write something that will run that code (if not impossible). Kind of like the rules of a language, or the rules of debate. Without these things just become more and more vague, and incomprehensible.

And you do know regal, we can start copying and pasting white papers and technical documents. But we respect Ix's bandwidth and won't.

dude, it's text.... how much bandwidth could it possibly take. you shoudl know that.

besides, we do this all the time. we almost had a homework thread for a while. it was great.

just makes us all feel a bit smarter *shrug*

Actually you'de be surprised, especially for online documentation for things like BSD. Text can have the power to slow down browsers. Really I was just being funny either way, semi-sarcasm if you will. Or did you miss it . Though Databases aren't too fond of large blobs of text, though usually not for retrieval.

*walks through background*

right, well... maybe you need to work on your sarcasm.. it's supposed to be funny eh? but good job *thumbs up*


also, i'm still reading through his post x_x
cus i'm a geek like that.

TTC, you SO just asked for it.

''A person in whose head 'y' has been brought to mind may be responding to an 'x' someone else has transmitted with the intention of its signifying 'y'; or, mistakenly, responding to an 'x' someone has transmitted in the guileless expectation of its signifying some 'z'; or, often, responding to an 'x' that comes to his notice without anybody's apparent intention at all.''

''When I passed you in the doorway
You took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance

Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
My father he's going crazy
Say's I'm living in a trance

But I'm dancing in the moonlight
It's caught me in its spotlight
It's alright, alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On the long hot summer night

It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten

Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
But it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end''


also, you mispelled 'vague'

Actually sarcasm just has to be saying something you don't really mean (typically the opposite of what you are thinking), no one said it had to be funny (ah and what is funny, I think it's relative). But I think it's more because it's hard to pick out sarcasm in text unless it's just something that's totally against your normal thoughts, in an obviously ironic way (which mine was neither). So subtle sarcasm just seems like normal conversation. I'll probably read through his post in a bit, since philosophy is normally fairly interesting.

Yes, I overanalyze things a lot, comes from thinking too much. But you probably already knew that (you being the general you, y'all down here in the south). And I'm not that good at spelling, and typos do happen.

At this point I would say BRING IT ON, and post some portion of the php manual or something, but I just don't feel like it.

well recently everyone has taken to correcting one another's spelling mistakes. As i just pointed out, its getting kinda annoying.

^_^ like you said, they happen.

and for the record, i myself have barely any idea wtf the reference is for that second quote.

::EDIT:: i just read the last part of that post ^ it made me laugh ^_^
