At first I really thought that it was my Internet Service Provider's doing (sorry for pointing at ya guys), but after continues research I stumbled upon a site that provided the tweak!<br /><br />In your browser type <span style="font-weight: bold;">about:config</span>, then it will display a list of parameters. Now press <span style="font-weight: bold;">CTRL+F</span> and type <span style="font-weight: bold;">network.http.keep-alive</span> double-click to set it to <span style="font-weight: bold;">false</span> and voila!

This release brings a number of new features as well as general improvements in the maturity of the individual applications. Importing of documents have also been given an overhaul.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://pclinuxos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/karbon-oxygen-icon-490x368-150x150.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="http://pclinuxos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/karbon-oxygen-icon-490x368-150x150.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />This release is a marked improvement of almost all parts of KOffice compared to 2.0. Version 2.0 was labeled a “platform release”, which was meant as a first preview of the framework and new UI paradigm. In version 2.1, most applications and components have improved significantly <strong>but should still only be used by early adopters and probably not as the primary worktool</strong>. Koffice 2.1.0 is currently available on our <a href="http://pclinuxos.com/?page_id=7"><strong>premium server</strong></a> and shipping to the public servers shortly.<br /><br />For more info visit the <a href="http://pclinuxos.com/">PCLINUXOS</a> websiteWeb Developer's Resourcehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04385817193379579182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109610886828974564.post-46805206443455368552009-11-24T22:03:00.000-08:002009-12-02T22:14:01.661-08:00Google Chrome Browser update available for PCLinuxOS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.pclinuxonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/chrome-150x150.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="http://www.pclinuxonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/chrome-150x150.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Google Chrome (chromium-browser) is a web browser from Google that runs web pages and applications with lightning speed.

This award is a great complement to winning the 2009 Open Source PHP CMS for the second year in a row.

People still send hand-written letters</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> via snail mail, even though they could instead make a phone call, send an email, text message, or status update.<br /><br /></span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">2. Nearly all sites on the web that require registration require an email address.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> Some are starting to integrate social media into this process (through things like </span><span class="yshortcuts"><span id="lw_1255511269_20"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Facebook</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> Connect), but that is still a very small fraction, and they typically still allow for email information as well.<br /><br /></span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">3. Email notifies you of updates from all social networks</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> you are a part of (provided your settings are set up that way).<br /><br /></span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">4.

Email is universal, and social networks are not.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> Nearly everybody on the web (while there are no doubt some exceptions) has an email address. Many places of employment give employees email addresses when they begin working there.

There are plenty of people who have no interest in joining social networks.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> Frequent news stories about security, privacy, and reputation issues do not help convince them.<br /><br /></span> <strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">7. Email is still improving.</span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> It hasn't screeched to a halt with the rise of social media.

The 21 year old Cebu International Furniture and Furnishings Exhibition, previously known as CEBU X, has been reincarnated as CEBUNEXT.<br /><br />As CEBUNEXT, the exhibition embodies the drive to create new designs with exceptional quality. It harnesses and consolidates the collective strength of the Philippine furniture industry, while highlighting Cebu as the design capital of Southeast Asia.<br /><br />Cebu has a rich history in furniture making. So rich that is is even the key source for trends that are followed worldwide, such as the popularity of rattan and buri in the 60s and 70s respectively, stonecraft in the 80's, cane & iron furnishings in the 90's and the abaca trend of early 2000. CEBUNEXT continues this leading legacy by setting its sights forward to the furniture trends of the coming decade--<br /><br />Come see what's next at CEBUNEXT.<br /><br />Visit the <a href="http://cebunext.com/">CEBUNEXT</a> website</div>Web Developer's Resourcehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04385817193379579182noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109610886828974564.post-3150986548294788842009-08-09T19:02:00.000-07:002009-08-09T19:04:45.334-07:00Google AdWords Trying Out an Opportunities Tab<span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">On Sunday, I went into AdWords to do a little keyword research.

You need to have an unique index or a primary key to use REPLACE statment.<br /><br />REPLACE is not part of the SQL standard, it's an useful extension by MySQL, I guess there are many other RDBMSs which have come up with similar extensions.<br /><br />So, now that we have REPLACE, we can rewrite above code snippets in the following manner:<br /><br /><div style="margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; "><div class="smallfont" style="font: normal normal normal 11px/normal tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 2px; ">Code: Perl</div><pre class="alt2" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: rgb(237, 231, 219); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: inset; border-right-style: inset; border-bottom-style: inset; border-left-style: inset; border-color: initial; width: 640px; height: 100px; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: auto; background-position: initial initial; "><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left; "><div class="perl"><span style="color: rgb(177, 177, 0); ">my</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$user_id</span> = <span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); ">1000</span>;<br /> <span style="color: rgb(177, 177, 0); ">my</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$ip</span> = <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$ENV</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 102); ">{</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ">'REMOTE_ADDR'</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 102); ">}</span>;<br /> <span style="color: rgb(177, 177, 0); ">my</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$stmt</span> = <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$db</span>-><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); ">prepare</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 102); ">(</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ">'REPLACE INTO visits VALUES(?,?)'</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 102); ">)</span>;<br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$stmt</span>-><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); ">execute</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 102); ">(</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$user_id</span>,<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$ip</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 102); ">)</span>;</div></div></pre></div><br /><div style="margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 5px; "><div class="smallfont" style="font: normal normal normal 11px/normal tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 2px; ">Code: PHP</div><pre class="alt2" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: rgb(237, 231, 219); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: inset; border-right-style: inset; border-bottom-style: inset; border-left-style: inset; border-color: initial; width: 640px; height: 84px; overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: auto; background-position: initial initial; "><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left; "><div class="php"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$user_id</span> = <span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); ">1000</span>;<br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$ip</span> = <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$_SERVER</span>[<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ">'REMOTE_ADDR'</span>];<br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); ">$res</span> = <a href="http://www.php.net/mysql_query" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 156); "><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); ">mysql_query</span></a><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 102); ">(</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); ">"REPLACE INTO visits VALUES('$user_id','$ip')"</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 102); ">)</span>;</div></div></pre></div><br />That's it, isn't that easier guys!!<br /><br />Read more about REPLACE statement here, <a href="http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replace.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 156); ">http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replace.html</a><br /><br /><span class="articleheading" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 102); font-weight: bold; font-size: 14pt; "><a name=""></a>Alternative Approach</span><br /><br />A forgotten or unknown feature among the masses is the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, it causes an UPDATE when a duplicate key error is encountered during an insert.
