Re: [PHP] Spammer! Re: [PHP] ANNOUNCING: Rekall V2.0.0 for Linux/UNIX....
With all due respect to everyone, including the alleged spammer, this has been my rule since '84. If you are in a discussion group, dont advertise something unless someone posts a question where a product would act as a specific solution to their specific need. The advertiser would then be expected to mention how exactly the product advertised affects the output of the question, or solves the problem posed by said question. Obviously, this thread should be either moved to another list or else just killed since spam has no direct links to PHP, nor did Rekall have any direct link to any question posed on the PHP general list. Ultimately, it is the list moderators responsibility to establish a set of core rules for interaction inside this 'virtual world' we all use to help others learn PHP. I do not know that this list has any core rules defined. On my lists, where rules are not defined, I just delete spammers without warning or notice, and furthermore ban that email address from the list permenantly. But then again, I am just oldschool BOFH from the eighties. I say let us allow this thread to die and/or let the owners/moderators handle it as they see fit. What if the alleged spammer is friends with Rasmus Lerdorf? Would that affect your opinion? Not mine, but just something to ponder as we allow the dead [posts] to rest in peace. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Spammer! Re: [PHP] ANNOUNCING: Rekall V2.0.0 for Linux/UNIX....
STOP SPAMING the list. Is your product free of charge/ opensource? NO! If you are charing for your product and your source is not open, you have no place on opensource lists. This is 3rd list you are spamming. Somebody block this free-rider from this list. BTW, MSAccess can be had for less and you can run it via Wine on Linux with no problems! Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Do you want to create, edit, or update your PHP databases remotely within a nice Graphic User Interface without having to use your Web Browser, well you can do that with Rekall and last week Rekall V2.0.0 was finally released for KDE3. QT3-only, Windows and Sharp Zaurus. We even have a run time only version so that you can distribute your Rekall applications. Yes, that's true, you create applications in much the same way can with MS Access, since Rekall is a programmable database client. For more information, tutorials, HOWTOs, examples, etc. please visit http://www.rygannon.com We are pleased to announce the 2.0 release of Rekall, a personal, programmable DBMS system for Linux and Windows. Rekall is the only viable alternative to MS Access for Linux. With Rekall you will be able to quickly and easily build database applications using Rekall forms and reports. A full complement of widgets means that applications built in Rekall will be able to have the look and feel of any other application. Rekall applications can be extended in their functionality to perform virtually any task via embedded Python as a scripting language. Ever since the release of dBase many years ago, the idea of a programmable DBMS has become increasingly popular. Major systems have been written in applications like Paradox and MS Access. By focusing on the database, users are able to leverage their business knowledge into working applications. One of the limitations of the aforementioned products is that their native database didn't scale well or support multiple users very well. Rekall avoids this problem by dispensing with a native database. The biggest addition to Rekall 2.0.0 is reusable components. Rekall now comes with a selection of components that you can use in forms; these include standard buttons and navigation tools. In addition to these components, you can also construct your own for use as often as you want. You can store your components either in the database itself, or in a local area in the file system. To support reusable components, and to make it easier to script complicated forms, Rekall 2.0.0 introduces an Event/Slot mechanism (akin to Qt's Signal/Slot mechanism). This allows to place all script code which is logically associated with a particular control inside that control, and means you can copy or delete the control without worrying about copying or cleaning up script code inside other controls. Other new features in Rekall 2.0.0 include: * Static images can by displayed in forms * Data controls can appear in menu-blocks * Spin box control * Link controls can display multiple colums * Link controls can use Queries as well as tables * Event logger for debugging * Raw SQL window for direct SQL execution * Forms, Reports, etc. can run modally * Fast table filters for predefined table data display * Modal forms can be used as dialog boxes * Explanation of queries generated by Rekall * Menu and toolbar hiding * MySQL and PostgreSQL connections over SSH tunnels (Linux only) In addition, Rekall comes with a thorough demonstration database that illustrates the various features of the applications. There are actually three copies of the database, one using MySQL, one PostgreSQL and one using XBase/XBSQL. Optional drivers are currently available for DB2 and ODBC with Oracle9i coming later this summer (the Windows version is ready now). By purchasing Rekall you are getting the source for the application and free electronic updates to the core application. You get all supported platforms for one price regardless of when they are released. Rekall is priced at $79.95 for the physical package and $69.95 for the electronic package. Rekall can be purchased from www.thekompany.com/products/rekall. Rekall V2.0.0 demo version can be downloaded from http://www.rygannon.com by selecting downloads from the navigation menu or by clicking on the downloads button on the top navigration bar .

Well, lets see. I want free advertising too. How about I go to all the lists I am member of and send emails like John from Rekall did announcing widgets or services my company does. How will you react to that? We all have something to sell or advertise. Opensource or non-opensource, if you are charging for something you can not free-ride on free mailing lists, pay for adveritising. If something like that is tolerated, maybe I should start marketing my stuff on all the lists I am.

If you had actually read the reply, you would have seen that Steve was commenting on your declaring the list an open-source list, not saying it was fine for John to send his email to this list (or any other list). --- Apollo (Carmel Entertainment) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, lets see.

Re: [PHP] Spammer! Re: [PHP] ANNOUNCING: Rekall V2.0.0 for Linux/UNIX....
IntrestingI have created 4 products that sell and a few scripts for free (which helped me learn php) plus I co-webmaster for 2 sites that sell scripts, around 40 of them totallycan i advertise for each of them here one by one or do i have to do it by website or all 44 at once?? I know the above question is really stupid as its totally unacceptable but in my opinion I think a person should be able to come here and announce his/her product/site if its beneficial to a lot of ppl... eg: the php classes site (excellient site) a php resource site a fantastic new editor, hopefully free (no offense ZEND :-) ) announcing something like Rekall to me does not qualify...but thats my opinion i am sure a lot of you will disagree with the way i see things.. just my two cents.

Your level of reading comprehension is astounding. I'm hoping you were being deliberately obtuse when you ignored the part where I said I'm not condoning posting ads to the list. You must have.
