How did you do that? the doc said there is a $branch variable, how do you add it?

Re:Which one will execute faster, if(flag==0) or if(0==flag)? on Saturday January 08, 2011 @05:53AM (#2082826)

someone need to invent a html tag for that :)
There is a JAVA version of reddit at http://www.codereddit.com Normally I use eclipse's internal browser to read it along side my normal code, no one ever notices it

Re:Calculating Color Contrast for Legible Text in Ruby on Monday July 19, 2010 @06:08AM (#1528131)
This is ugly, but it should do the job:

"#000000" if sum([int(i,16) for i in re.findall("..",myColour)]) > 382.5 else "#ffffff"

removing high level language in the middle is good, if you need performance, why not just use redis to server json directly, in the case you need scale up your db why not use crunchDB.
i think it should be a phpinfo() <?php phpinfo(); ?>

i think you can change the border radius to get different shape out of your element box(top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right corners).

i new to this field, but i was thinking the same as well, since ejabberd support BOSH, then what's the point of having Punjab in there. (does anybody have an extensive documentation on how to implement it? from speeqe's setup instruction, it doesn't seems explain how to connect to a xmpp server)
