Oh no, have they started to embed scribd on web-pages. I absolutely hate scribd. Worst thing to hit the internet since that guy crying about Brittney Spears on youtube.

I must be missing something. Can't you just put your city's name in with your other search terms when using a normal app store? What does this add over that?

I have found the best non-PayPal solution to be iTransact (http://www.itransact.com/marketing/referral/S33oOO). They combine the gateway and the merchant account, and have lower fees than their competitors.

As a veteran developer, I too was hit by RSI, and strongly urge you to first start using speech recognition for dictating all of your e-mail messages, code comments, documentation, etc.

I wonder if this book has any novel information that isn't available in the dozens of other books on the subject, or in the one I read fifteen years ago that covered all the examples in the Forbes article.
Although I've found it occasionally amusing at interviews and meetings, since reading that one book many years ago, to lead other people through series of posture changes, or to make some overconfident fool drop his alpha posture by adopting the same, in general these techniques are for bullshitters. If you're touching your neck because you feel uneasy/unsure, DO something about that. Don't find ways to appear competent, confident, whatever -- be competent, confident, whatever by knowing what you're doing and talking about.
These postures, gestures, etc. will flow naturally from the ease and confidence of having achieved something honestly. Like Lupe Fiasco says: The wings don't make you fly and the crown don't make you king.

All true. I've bounced back and forth. On a previous project, there was no need for stepping through the code, so header() trumped. My current project has benefitted greatly from the IDE, so I'm using a session var (and hoping the user refrains from bookmarking! :)

The privacy page is just an example. Your scenario replaces it with a confirmation page. So the problem still stands: How do you go to the ?page=contact-submit page? Do you use header()? Is that the canonical way?

I agree with all that, but how do you solve the problem I posed initially?
Re:How best to navigate to a PHP page after a form submit?

It's not dictating the code architecture -- it's one of many factors to consider
Naturally I'm using a session variable. But the URL mismatch remains.

Thanks for the reply. How does an exit() after header() help? It still causes a discontinuity in an IDE.
How best to navigate to a PHP page after a form submit?
Experienced PHP programmers know that there are various ways of structuring pages within a website. Years ago, a common approach was to place every major page into a separate PHP file, and within the navigation menus simply link directly to the various pages. Nowadays, most sites use a central control file -- typically index.php -- and use GET variables to distinguish which page within the...

That example of coding an elfLikesMe attribute for 150 monster types, why to code it at all? My first hunch would be to use SQL table for monster attributes, then adding new attribute would be equivalent to adding a new SQL field, or table?

You should definitely try fasting (no food, water only). After a couple of days there should be visible results (You will feel Yourself different).
Another possible advice is to limit carbohydrates (partually replacing them with fats). There is a whole host of possible problems from excess carbohydrates (starting from diabetes, high blood pressure and overweight).
Your health is in Your hands, the doctors can only help if You are fighting disease Youself.

I've also seen too many blog posts trumpeting the amazing ability to do something-or-other in three lines of Ruby -- one or two of which are loading some library that does all the work. Not impressed. It's nice that you can get something done with minimal work, but the emphasis should be on ease of use, not on number of lines.

Exactly. And I find it lazy to use such loaded terms to denigrate an argument one doesn't agree with instead of confronting its (lack of) merits. Obnoxious != wrong.
Actually, I find it strange that the initial commenter only suspects that "civil libertarians" might have a problem with the surveillance that s/he thinks is fine. The sentence seems to me a gratuitous pot shot at people who might think of themselves as "civil libertarians". Why?
HN deserves better rhetoric. Otherwise, there's always Slashdot.
