Re: .biz domains ... what are the issues?
(1) .biz domains are global, so when you've got a name you've got it worldwide, whereas .com, .co.nz, .com.au, .co.uk etc aren't. Coke will own coke.biz and coke.shop just the same. If you register it, they'll sue your butt. So the same scramble will ensue with the .biz and shop names as with the dot-coms. Many of the speculators are not renewing the .com names they own. Keep checking whois and you'll see that many decent names are lapsing. NSI is making them available much more quickly now than before. I don't know how the other registrars are handling them. But back to the .biz and .shop. With the .biz and .shop, folks will now have to remember, was that blah.com or blah.biz or blah.shop? Better buy them all. (2) If you don't pre-register your name in the .biz domain, someone else can end up taking your name. This might or might not be a problem depending on how important the .biz domains become. Do you guys think that these new domains will ultimately be as important as the .com domains? What a scam! - Even if you pre-register you're not guaranteed anything. Many of the pre-register companies state right on their sites that they don't guarantee you will get your name. They don't even guarantee they'll go after it. Plus they won't refund your money if you don't get it. Pre-registration is a scam! (3) If you don't pre-register your name you could find your own domain owned by an opportunist who will hold your name to ransom until you buy it from him at whatever price he wants. Dittos from #2 above (4) If you have high traffic, someone else could use your name in one of these new tlds and use it to drive traffic to their site, parasitically. So you could end up with your customers being directed to a porn site or anything. And all at your cost. Dittos #1 above (4) Compared to the potential cost of having your name held to ransom or used by a competitor or even a porn site the cost of the new domains are chickenfeed. Yea - but it's still first come first server for the common joe. Unless you're a big corp that can afford lawyers to prove trademark infringment, you just need to be there when the door opens!

Re: Storing Credit Cards
I didn't really propose a one key system. I used it as an example. When I built one, I used a randomly generated key for each one. I was just explaining it in it's simplest form. Tried and true is usually best.

Granted, if you're doing business on the web in a manner that you're going to store credit cards, then you better be able to afford to protect them, whether it's PGP or other. My point is that PGP is not the end all for storing credit cards. You CAN build other systems. Face it, depending on the ability of the hacker, they can get at the cards, no matter where they are. One big problem is when folks put the numbers in databases that are in their web directories. Amazingly, even a short time ago, several high profile sites were storing credit card numbers in databases what were downloadable with a URL. Never put your database (Access) in a web accessible directory. All of this is true enough. My point was simply that using a single-key system as simple as the one you proposed is not nearly as secure as using a publicly tested, well-known encryption algorithm, ideally a public-private key system. Of course, even with that, you have to secure the keys well. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ phone: (202) 797-5496 ~~ Your ad could be here.

Ever since we upgraded our development server to CF 5, we've been getting these periodic slow-downs that we haven't been able to track down yet. We've only noticed it on a page which normally takes about a minute or two to complete. The page reads over a file directory, parses out some data from those files (some XML, some CF) and inserts information into our database (SQL 7). I've stripped the code down in an attempt to isolate bad code, but so far I haven't found an obvious culprit. Also, we've checked all the standard things: hanging threads, memory leaks, etc, and so far all of that stuff looks normal. We set up a test page which sets a variable something like a million times (in a loop), and then prints the total elapsed time the page took to execute, using the getTickCount() feature. The strange part is that the execution time on the test page doesn't change, regardless of whether the slow-down is happening or not. We never saw this problem under 4.5, and cycling the service fixes the problem. Granted, we haven't had as much time as we'd like to isolate the problem, so it could be a configuration problem on our server, or bad code, but the problem cropped up just after we upgraded to CF 5. -Original Message- From: Bruce, Rodney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:21 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT: Way Slow web pages 1. yes, and has been, this speed problem is new 2. task manger shows RAM almost totally free 3. have over 60GBs free 4. will look into this, can you suggest some programs that can do this? 5. using a monitor on the server, no connection 6.

We have been running CF/Apache on Windows for about 2.5 year now and developing on Cold Fusion since the 1.5 days (cgi only). Version 1.3.20 of Apache for Win32 (which has been available for over 6 months) is the first that Apache.org says is stable (not that there have been problems with the old versions). It has made available an enhanced API (EAPI) but modules need to be compiled with EAPI support. Unfortunately the existing Cold Fusion module for Apache on Win32 uses the standard API. I spoke with Macromedia in an effort to get an EAPI build of the module and was informed that they have no plans to compile an EAPI version of the module for Cold Fusion 4.x on Windows, but that it will be supported on Cold Fusion 5 and I should upgrade. Considering the amount of time Cold Fusion 5 has been out and the installed 4.x base (and the fact that I have a cluster of web servers and this upgrade is cost prohibitive and unnecessary), this strikes me as a blatant attempt to force upgrades. I think that they have been going to Microsoft school. I now feel that I have no alternative but to investigate alternatives to Cold Fusion as I no longer have faith that Macromedia has any intention of providing the type of support it's developer community needs. A far cry from the days that Allaire was compiling custom builds of 3.x for me while we tried to track down threading problems in the Cold Fusion Server service. This is annoying as we have a lot of code that will need to be re-written, but it will end up being cheaper in the long run if this is indicative of how Macromedia is going to respond. I hope that I am not the only one who is disturbed by this and that Macromedia will reconsider their position on this. Disappointed, Justin Greene p.s. Allaire posted a resolution to the EXACT problem for Linux on August 7, 2000 in KB# 16303, however it requires the source for the module which I was told would not be made available for windows. -- Justin Greene Co-Founder ClicVU, Inc. - Makers of the Spamex Disposable Email Address Service P: 212-242-0258 http://www.clicvu.com http://www.spamex.com Spamex - Protect your real email address forever ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Unique ID Help
In this case, you GUID field is a TEXT or CHAR or VARCHAR field, so you must
put single quotes around the value in the SQL.
INSERT INTO thisTable
(GUID)
VALUES ('CFE4734A-CEA8-48BE-9D64-88FCBB7E2688')

Ok, say I have a given Unique ID:

That needs to be inserted into a database like so perhaps:
INSERT INTO ThisTable)

(CFE4734A-CEA8-48BE-9D64-88FCBB7E2688)
How do I get it into the GUID Field? I've tried with and without quotes
and
have had no success. Thanks for your help!

Re: Maps
You can give each map an X,Y coordinate number. Have a table with MAPID, XCord, YCord and FileName as the columns. Then, you can surround each map with links to the adjoining X,Y coords, hit the database to get the file names. You can populate the links dynamically using whatever sequencing method you use to assign the X,Y coordinates to each map.

Lost ODBC/Native Driver Connectivity
OK - a strange one here. We have CF 5.0 on NT 4.0 SP6 running with JRun 2x and Netscape Enterprise 3.6. The first of each quarter, the box gets hammered for students searching the Course Offerings. Today, the first day of classes for winter, was no exception. About noon, the box seemed to hang up. Now, course offerings is a Java application on JRun. However, we have a login through DCE using a home brewed proxy that feeds through a CF Process for the authentication and login on the box. Now - when the server hung up, the system administrator had to reboot it. From that time forth, I no longer have ODBC or Native Drivers for working for my Oracle 8 database. I've rebooted the machine time and time again, I've checked and double checked everything. We changed nothing, but still no connectivity through CF. The Oracle SQL Workshop works, so I know the ODBC on the box is OK. The course offerings work through JDBC, so I know the TNSNames.ora file is OK. CF runs, but can't find any of my datasources. Does anybody have a clue what to check. If nothing comes up, I'm going to have to reinstall CF first thing in the morning.

Re: Cannot open database
Owen, You most likely won't be able to put an eyeball on the corrupt data. Usually non-visible characters are the culprit. How many tables do you have in your Access database? I believe that you said you're running Access 97. If that's so, Access 97 was not real well suited for the web. It could be you've reached some limitations with the engine. Do you have Access 2000 where you could do a conversion? Access 2000 is many times more robust for web apps. It handles simultaneous connections much better, can handle larger tables and more rows - it's just stouter. Try a conversion if you can. That might fix it. Can you talk your mgt. to going to SQL Server? This might be a good time for you to plead your case . . . .

Why?
With all due respect Michael, why pick on this thread, with all of the OT stuff that comes through? I recall a while back, a thread with a religious tone that you not only propagated, but you originated. Something to do with the need to walk to a conference from the hotel on the Sabbath and hoping it would not rain. That thread went for quite a bit and nothing was ever said about stopping it. I know you own the list, but without the community, it's nothing. And we all ARE the community. I just don't understand this. The original post did nothing wrong. It was a simple plea to form a group of programmers that had a common interest. No different than wanting to form a group of programmers from, say, the East Coast. But because the word Christian was used, people go bezerk! I believe you asked it to be moved even before the wack-o's started their senseless rebellion. Dave Please move this to CF-Community before I have to force the move. Thanks. (Yes, the list software is written in CF and uses iMS. This means I can control every thing down to the way you spell your name and can alter it at will.

Re: Contribute and Studio Observation
I guess I see Contribute this way. If I'm the webmaster of a small business, and we have a relatively good size web presence, I, using Dreamweaver, can use Contribute to have the secretaries or sales reps or others update portions of the website, under the control of the permissions I've set up with Dreamweaver. So now, instead of everyone sending me updates in email that I must transfer up to our pages, the departments can now do it for themselves. I don't see Contribute used in situations where folks are already too busy to contribute info, or in larger enterprise situations where you already have a robust, web based CMS in place. Since it runs on the desktop, like Dreamweaver, it's very limited (vs. a web based CMS), but then, it's a lot cheaper! It has a niche, and I think it will do great in that niche.

Re: SOT: Sad Day
I'll back you up. MM has a long history of abandoning products. Everyone seems to act like CF is invincible, yet it was sold by Allaire a little over a year ago. ~~ Do you think MM will keep CF around if it starts to tank? Phat chance. If the software doesn't sail, these captains jump before the women and children. I know I'm not the only one who learned Generator. :) MM bought Allaire, not because there was anything wrong with it, but because there was so much right with it. When you can do as much and more with CFMX and Flash MX than you could with Generator, with much less cost and far less server overhead, why shouldn't you abandon Generator? The cfm/fla marriage is perfect. Cost to performance and capability, it's positioned to be the greatest thing since soft butter! If you've read the postings of people who attended DevCon, you'll notice an extreme optimism among CF'ers. MM is taking CF Flash to the lead in a new wave of internet applications. And the neat part is, MM is making it possible for PHP, ASP and Java to play too! I was very skeptical when MM purchased Allaire. But they keep showing me a stronger and stronger commitment. I have no trouble staying with MM. They've shown that they are making CF one of their flagship products. As for dropping a product when it's outlived its useful life, that's just good business. That does not make a company bad. Generator's life had come to an end when it became apparent that client side power was practicle with the advances in Flash. CF is a much better server side solution to power that. Dropping Generator was not a bad idea on MM's part. It was a very good idea. Good business.

Re: programmer vs. developer
Listen, in the job market, it make a LOT of difference. Here at the University, there is a whole grade level difference in pay between a developer and a programmer. This can mean up to $15k annually. If I'm not listed as a programmer, I'm lumped in with the web designers. Dave Yes, We program. But in the grand scheme of things, for demographic purposes we are considered developers, not just MM but to the computer world. Programmers beat us to the programming way back when computers were invented. They got first rights to use that name in generic terms. We don't do what they do. We program web pages/applications, but are considered 'developers'.

But if you're mid 40's with three kids just a few years from college, a mortgage and two car payments, it's a lot tougher to step away from that check and benefits.

Woulda shoulda coulda How is it an excuse? It's reality for many. It depends on how badly you want something and what you're willing to sacrifice for it . . . and an honest evaluation of how much of it's for yourself, and how much of it's truly for your family? Is it fair to your kids to loose everything on a pipe dream? But if I'm young and single with no dependents, I don't have that choice to make! Look, I work for a university. I have to work about another 20-40 hrs per week on my own in this rural area to feed my kids and keep our home. I battle this question all the time. But I also know that in every successful business, somebody had the nadders to put it ALL on the line. . . . How much do you believe in your product?

Re: correct syntax for replace double quotes - solution

Re: DevCon 2002 info
It seems that The Server Side is for the CF'ers and JRun'ers. Then there is the Rich Internet Applications which they could not avoid since they're so focused on the use of Flash MX ColdFusion MX together. Any developer who is trying to do this will have interests in this track. All of us can use at least something form the User Centered Development track. So it still seems very worth while to me! Dave Hannum Web Analyst/Programmer Ohio University www.ohio.edu - Original Message - From: Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 3:14 PM Subject: RE: DevCon 2002 info Is it me, or do most of the topics covered at DevCon seem to be aimed at designers and not the CF world? A large percentage of the sessions seem to be focused highly on Flash, Dreamweaver and other Studio MX products. Or, perhaps it seems this way to me because I work at somewhere that has no plans to use any of the Flash integration features of MX or most of the other MX Studio products? While many topics cover Flash MX and Dreamweaver MX, I think it would be a mistake to assume that the focus of those products is limited to designers. We do a lot of Flash work here, and while good design is important, it's not really the focus of that work. It's worthwhile to think about Flash the same way that you'd think about other application development tools that allow you to build GUIs - you use them to build front ends (which typically contain presentation logic that can be quite complex) for back-end applications, much like you might have used Visual Basic five years ago (or now, for that matter) to build front ends for client-server applications. As for Dreamweaver MX, it's a text editor, and while it has lots of features that make it more useful to designers than other text editors may be, MM is positioning it to be a one-size-fits-all development tool. While many here may argue about the validity of that position, it's certainly the direction in which Dreamweaver is going. And as I start to use it more and more myself, I can understand that position - and I'm certainly no designer. Trust me on that.

Re: ColdFusion MX performance brief now available
At the Allaire CF Developers Conference in DC in 2000, they ran a side by side comparison on identical Compaq computers comparing CF6 (called Neo then) against CF 4.5. The script found all the prime numbers between 1 and 100,000 or something like that. What I do remember is that CF 4.5 took something over 12 seconds and Neo took like 4.5 seconds. Now, it's possible that the test was Neo vs. CF 5 but I can't remember for sure. I do know that CF 5 had not been released yet. Dave - Original Message - From: Ben Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 6:49 PM Subject: RE: ColdFusion MX performance brief now available I was comparing the dual Linux to the quad Windows setup. I'm not a systems expert, but perhaps someone else can confirm this. As far as I can remember from what I have read, 4 500Mhz processors do not equal 1 2000Mhz. The computing cost to push certain tasks or threads to certain processors can take quite a bit of cycles. Take a look at the data for the Win2K boxes. The pages per minute with one processor is half of the number of pages with four processors. Once you start changing the number of processors, you add all sorts of factors such as how the SMP is handled and what not. Although I would be interested to see a comparison between Linux and Win2K, I personally don't think it really matters. If somebody knows Linux, stick with Linux. If you know Windows, stay with that. A couple hundred extra page hits shouldn't warrent switching over your entire system to something different.

Does anybody have a good example of a Terms Conditions they use for web development. We're developing one and I really don't have a feel for what all it should contain.

Re: Expiring Link
One way would be when the link is established, put a variable in the URL that has a time stamp in it. Then, in your app, put a CFIF that reads that timestamp if it exists, and don't write out the link if it's after 6 hours. You could populate the timestamp from a cookie you set on the visitors client at the time they visit.

Re: Memory problems
The point I was making was not in defense of Access. I know Owen and what he's doing. My point was that I don't think his files are nearly as big as Michaels archives, so I don't think file size is the problem. The drivers may be. The install may be hosed as well. I agree - I'd get out of Access ASAP too, but until he can, there are other things he can try.

Up to a certain amount of traffic/data MS Access is a decent solution. After that it's a 'disaster waiting to happen' to quote Michael himself.

Michael D. runs the CF-talk list with an Access database (or did until just recently). Have you got the latest MS Jet drivers? Access 2000 is much more stout than 97. Perhaps the latest ODBC drivers would be a quick short term fix. Dave - Original Message - From: Owen Leonard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2002 2:42 PM Subject: Re: Memory problems So, the consensus is Access is the problem! I wonder if the memory problems have gotten worse in the past couple of months because of the growing size of the database? I think in the cfusion\bin directory there is a batch file provided that sets up your scheduler to restart cf services at 2am (or so). So running Cycle.bat sets up the scheduler? Or do I need to schedule Cycle.bat to be run?

Check out www.cfcomet.com for some great tutorials on making Word docs from RTF's. I do it all the time. You create a template in word, save it as an RTF.

CFPOP and Attachments (CF 5.0)
I'm building a web based email program in CF 5.0. I'm got most of it, but I'm stumped regarding how to handle nested emails - that is an email that is a forwarded collection of emails - then what if some of them either have more emails in them, or other attachments or both. How do you handle the compound nesting situations?
