dying fetus?  good let them die

 

 

Children of bodom ?  cool - thanks

You will probably be surprised to find out that Dying Fetus is especially popular in your northern imperial homeland.

As for COB, I found this cool Children of Bodom Halloween cover taped by a couple fellows who did not wish to be identified today.

....enjoy the synchronized guitar playing.

needs keyboards… or something to pull it together

 

Should I say it? It needs more cowbells HAHA

These videos are pretty cool. Not COB's best video, but at least it's new.

How are they monetizing this? Is it ad-supported?

Look at Android for your answer. MS is starting to look like the Titanic. All we need now is for Celine Dion to go up to the bow of thier ship and sing my heart will go on.

I have seen that ZF is a MVC framework. I was just curious to know how it differs from ASP.NET MVC. I'm not a big fan of PHP and avoid it as much as I can. It would have been nice to see if there's something in that framework that would be nice to have in ASP.NET MVC. That's why I was wondering if there's some charts that compare these both framework...

Nevertheless the framework seems to be nicely crafted. I like the idea of having all components to be independent and yet form a powerful framework when brought together.

You sound lazy. The framework features are documented in a table of contents that I so nicely linked in my last post.

You need to RTFM or STFU. I mean that in the nicest way.

ZF looks similar to ASP.NET MVC to me... do you know what exactly the differences are? Would be interesting...

RTFM buddy.

There are a million MVC frameworks. Spring/Hibernate for Java(aspect oriented programming), ZF for PHP, ect...

ZF is constantly updated and favored by Google, which is part of why I use it. ZF also has training and certification available where other PHP frameworks do not. ZF has it's own IDE in Zend Studio which refactors the MVC parts automatically and there are other reasons.

ZF seems to include default APIs for the latest vogue SaaS on the web as soon as it becomes available and popular enough. ZF is nothing special as far as MVCs go architecturally except that it is the chosen one.

The first MVC I ever worked with was the dreaded Doc/View SDI/MDI in Microsoft C++. It was so badly crafted and hard to use that it made me hate MVC frameworks for a long time.

I think a lot of the problem is how ill-conceived the basic/fundamental existing stuff is. That's certainly what seems to waste much of my time whenever I design a webpage. We don't so much need new stuff as better stuff. Most web standards should be taken outside and set fire to, then replaced with something better, except it's too late now and we're stuck with the stupid things.

I mean, who the heck creates a layout system that doesn't allow for one item's x and y positions, widths, heights, etc. to be relative to other items'? (Sure, CSS can do it in a few cases, but they are exceptions and not the rule. You cannot say that one div should have the same height and half the width, and be placed relative to, another arbitrary div. You definitely cannot take properties from multiple other divs. What an absolute crock of failure.)

Then again, I could say the same about most desktop UI frameworks.

Basic XML itself is okay and useful but the technologies (and specs, documentation/books/etc.) layered on top of XML are pretty awful, on the whole. (Pet hate: Specs/docs which talk about things they haven't actually defined yet, without even telling you they haven't defined them yet, for great confusion, re-reading and wondering if you accidentally skipped a page somewhere.) I mean, if XSLT didn't suck so much it could've done what CSS does so much better, IMO. As it is, I'd sooner convert XML content into HTML via C# or C++ code than mess with XSLT, and that can't be right.

 

Sounds more like you're underpaid. Otherwise you wouldn't really care. I can't say I *really* care about it, except that IE just makes my job annoying. IE7 caused a huge problem today as a matter of fact where it was switching a DOM element between absolute and relative positioning for no reason at all when the CSS on the element was fixed at relative positioning. This was caused by the user simply clicking random points on the screen and anchor tags before the page load had completed.

There is no firebug to edit CSS variables in real time and IE6, 7, 8, oh why the hell not, even 9 just sucks. I haven't used 9 yet, but from historical development, I already know it will suck.

Just to test in IE6, I have to start a virtual machine and go into Windows XP to run multiple IEs. What a complete joke. FF runs side by side on any operating system.

What a horrible joke that such shoddy development got 90% of the market share.

At least when I come home I get to do PHP programming with ZF, and Java programming where I don't have to care if it works in IE.

If this keeps going I'm going to have to use Google App Engine exclusively.

HTML5 is nowhere near finalisation, you know that MS doesn't implement non-final specifications so why raise the point?

Somebody needs to relocate to Excuseville, WA.

IE 7 and 8 made huge leaps in standards support, why are you assuming they're going to stop now?

Where is Microsoft's roadmap on HTML5 implementation ?
Where are the IE HTML5 milestones?

(birds chirping...)

They would cross over in 2012. IE would still have 12% in 2018 (what's with that date anyways?). Firefox wouldn't pass IE's current number till 2019.

Sorry OP, you're going to be stuck supporting IE for a while.

I can't wait for the day when we don't have to support IE at all any more. There is no bigger waste of time.
