Hi gang:
Do you use a Mousepad?
My reason for asking is that I've used a Mousepad ever since mice first came
out (back when they had one ball).
Now that mice are optical (no balls), Mousepads are not really needed -- or so
I'll told by the college -- you see, they don't provide Mousepads for their
student's computers.
As such, I wondered what's the percentage of programmers still using a Mousepad?
Secondly, are Mousepads used primarily by older programmers (like me) while
younger programmers don't use Mousepads, or what?
So -- please respond with:
Age: *
Mousepad: Yes/No
Thank you,
tedd
PS: * If you don't want to provide your actual age, then indicate your age by
stating "young", "middle-age", "old-age", "ancient", or whatever term describes
your age.
Alternate -- I claim that you can tell a man's age by ten-times the number of
"personal products" he routinely uses, for example:
Years Old - Personal Products
10 Toothpaste
20 Toothpaste, Deodorant
30 Toothpaste, Deodorant, Aftershave
40 Toothpaste, Deodorant, Aftershave, Minoxidil
50 Toothpaste, Deodorant, Aftershave, Minoxidil, Preparation-H
60 Toothpaste, Deodorant, Aftershave, Minoxidil, Preparation-H, Bag Bomb
70 Toothpaste, Deodorant, Aftershave, Minoxidil, Preparation-H, Bag Bomb,
Fixodent
So, you could indicate age by stating "Bag Bomb" like me.

Haha, like your product usage chart Tedd,
Age: 31
Mousepad: Webster New Dictionary of Synonyms, too lazy of having to go to
Microcenter and buy one!

I'm in my mid-thirties and - despite having an optical mouse - I
do indeed still use a mousepad. A customized one that the wife did
for me for Christmas one year: images of Futurama, the Cleveland
Browns, Minnesota Vikings, and several aircraft, all surrounding a
picture of her and our daughter. I've found that shiny surfaces -
such as my desk - reflect too much of the laser, causing the mouse to
be far less responsive.

Age: Bag Bomb
Mousepad: Yes
Padding for my wrist and quieter moving the mouse around - no scraping. So
yes, I'm even too old to be plugged into an iPud or an iPeed, whatever
they are :)

Age: 54
Mousepad: Yes
Laser mice don't like reflective surfaces so much and if I don't carve out
desk space for my mouse with a mousepad, I find that moving my mouse over
multiple sheets of paper, paperclips, and whatnot is not very effective and
somewhat frustrating.

I'm in my 20's and rarely, if ever, use a dedicated mouse. I've transitioned to
having all my workstations be laptops of one sort or another and they have
built-in trackpads. Of course I also rarely use the mouse when there are so
many keyboard shortcuts available.
Best,
–Josh

When I'm on my MacBook (which is most of the time) I use the trackpad.
But in the unfortunate times I have to be on a Windows box I always
connect a mouse.

Slightly snobbish solution: Don't use windows.

College Student (Electrical Engineer, go figure).
Age: 20
Mousepad: yes
I've used both optical and laser mice (they're a bit different, but
similar tech) and I've found that I like having the pad because it
sets the "DPI" of the mouse consistently. My favorite mousepad is this
cheap as hell thin rubber and cloth one that I got from dealextreme.com
many years ago. Go figure...

Hi Arno!
Seems to be the standard behaviour of Apache servers all over the
world!
I was testing this way:
First I renamed a real, proper GIF-file to "this.php.nice.gif", put it
in the root of my websites and called it with the browser. Result:
"Error 500 Internal Server Error". The logfile tells: "Premature end of
script headers: this.php.nice.gif".
Then I did infect the same GIF-file with some PHP-Code (<?php echo
"Hello, I'm evel"; ?>), renamed it to "this.php.evel.gif", put it in the
root, called it with the browser. The result was exactly the same: Error
500, Premature end of script headers.
That means, wether the file is infected or not, it IS passed to the PHP
interpreter only because it contains somewehere ".php" in his name!
Then I renamed a real PHP script to "test.php.gif". This finaly produced
the following response from my web hoster:
_QUOTE_
Files with Extra ".php." Extension
If you were directed to this page, you probably tried viewing a file
that contains .php. in its name, such as image.php.jpeg or image.php.
(note the extra dot at the end).
The site you were visiting uses the Apache Web server, which will
usually attempt to run such files as PHP scripts (instead of allowing
your browser to display them as images, or completely failing to run
them, as you'd probably expect).
Allowing those files to run as a PHP script is a security vulnerability,
as seen in exploits for WordPress and Joomla. Because of that, we block
requests to these files.
If youre the owner of this site and you want to use a real image that
includes .php. as part of the name, please rename the file.
_END QUOTE_
Sounds reasonable. And means, you really must protect your uploadings.
A simple way:
$filename = str_replace('.php', '', $_FILES['userfile']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'],
'yourdirectory/'.$filename);
Hope, this helps,
Niklaus
