I myself dislike weak-typed languages, they are just more error-prone.

Why? I use both and make no more errors in one than the other. The errors are just different.

The problems come when you have to build big applications, and you end up having extremely convoluted code (just take a look at WordPress or phpBB) which is, as you said, very hard to debug

Nonsense. As with any programming language you can shoot yourself in the foot if you try (or don't try). I'm sure there are many ASP.NET projects that are convoluted and messy.

Subjective. My subjective opinion is that ASP.NET sites tend to be sluggish and bloated (sorry, CodeProject)

You get a permission denied error because you can't do cross-server JavaScript

Turn around and totally dismember the U.S. and those of us who are American's know we cannot say a thing about it. Why? We'd get slaughtered. Nevermind more American blood has been shed in defense of foreign soil than all the other countries combine but hey... go ahead... kick dirt in our faces until some militant has your country in a death grip. Then sigh in relief when our special operations forces, ground troops and supporting units descend with fury on your assailants to defend your freedom.

Woah... hang on a moment and dust the chip off your shoulder. Americans can and do defend their country to their last dying breath. No one is denying that, and there's no need to portray yourself as humble martyrs. If you haven't been paying attention Britain gets its fair share of slamming, only we are not allowed to complain without having some kind of imperialistic finger pointed at us.

No one was denying her an opinion. She gave hers, people gave theirs.

I don't. People do 'slam' the US, but they rarely call it a crap hell-hole of a country.

There is no special way to do it in JS - it uses exactly the same URLs as anywhere else on a web page. In this instance I suspect that you don't need to specify ~ at all - this is a syntax that has fallen out of favour and must be followed by a username (~/ just refers to 'a home' directory, not the web root directory, which is /).

No, ~ is a home directory. The root folder is just the slash /

Are there any 'real' reasons why sites shouldn't just use 100% flash?

Accessibility, it isn't cross-browser (it doesn't work on my phone's browser, for example), inconsistent interfaces that interfere with how people use browsers, lack of content that can be indexed by Google, etc. There are plenty of real issues. Also it generally leads to poor websites that do nothing other than impress someone with a 'ooh look at the flashing lights' syndrome.

It's a requirement that you'll need to investigate yourself. Navaneeth pointed you in the direction of the meaning of a 400 error - you need to figure out why it's appearing on your site. This is not something that we can help you with given the very limited information. Look at how your server is setup and if it is actually working first.

So it seems. I guess we should always remember that the English are evil and the Scottish/Irish/Welsh/Anyone-else-with-a-chip-on-their-shoulder are downtrodden and unfairly treated... it's a terrible world.

This must be the Readers Digest version of science you're describing.

Not to be picky, but in what way is the Sony W170 a range finder camera? It seems to be your average compact to me. I also wouldn't get too excited about the 'Carl Zeiss Vario-tessar' lens as it's just a marketing gimmick. Most cameras say they've got some lens by a German company, but it's only a brief passing nod, and will certainly be no where near a real Leica.

You can't. You can offer a .reg file for download

I may also be misunderstanding what you've said but it sure sounds like you're not using SVN properly. You should be able to work on your latest version and simply commit the changes into the main repository - no need for manual backups at the end of the night followed by a merge.

PCSpectra wrote:

I think I want to bring the changes from the working copy into the repository

That would be svn commit. If you are storing your code on a Windows machine but developing on Debian then you will need SVN installed on Debian (but not necessarily Windows). If you don't then you will create an awful lot of extra work. The workflow should be fairly simple: Edit code on Debian machine svn commit code from Debian machine to Windows That's it. No manual merges, no manual copies or backups.

Save yourself a lot of hassle and use some existing software like WordPress or Drupal. Try to ignore anything to do with frames or thinking in terms of you click in a menu and the right side of the page loads. Clicking on a menu can simply load another page with the same menu displayed - this is how the majority of websites work (such as here at CodeProject) and it doesn't have any of the problems associated with frames.

You'll need to use Flash to urgently access your webcam.
