| Officially, I'm Catholic, because my parents decided to baptize me, just because, when I was born. I'm not religious in any way though, and I'd never baptize my children if I'll have any. I'd let my kid decide on his own when (s)he's old enough to do so. |

| Picky eaters can be annoying, especially those that only want to eat junk food and the like. Cooking is one of my hobbies, and I've learned to always try/taste everything out before shouting that I don't want/like it. Of course, it's everyone's own decision to be picky, but picky people tend to be a hassle in a group. A good example is going to a restaurant with a big portion of the family, or a big group of friends. Some people don't want to go anywhere, because they "don't like" the food at a lot of places (while they never even tried it in the first place), and you end up going somewhere shitty. |

| Scroll wheel usually. What really annoys me is that some Windows applications are put together so poorly, that they use 'panels' where the scroll wheel doesn't work, and you're forced to have to click and/or drag 'n drop the scrollbar. |

| I couldn't care less about how it looks, though the minimalism trend is annoying. Last week I helped someone configure an email account in Windows Live Mail on a Windows 7 Home Premium PC, took me for friggin' ever because there isn't a many or anything. It's mostly the supposed CSS3 support that'll make me use IE9. Just for testing purposes. |

| Firefox isn't what it used to be anymore, either. I liked it at first because it was small, compact, fast and lightweight, now it randomly crashes and consumes way too many resources for what it's supposed to do. As for the whole Windows XP thing, it's outdated. Just as outdated as Internet Explorer 6 is. You can't expect a supplier to keep supporting an outdated product for ever. |

I never was a fan of post layouts.  Needless to say, I immediately turned them off as soon as I registered here. I remember people completely screwing over the board layouts with broken post layouts. Epic era was epic. |

Ah, thread nostalgy!  Mine's as simple as always. |

| I remember toying around with the global.php and layout.php files, and mainly putting stuff in them that required one of the 2 to be included before the other and visa versa, getting stuck with the order of inclusion. That's what classes and objects are for. With a class you can just include the file in which the class is declared, and depending on your class structure and object model, you won't have to worry anymore about (the order of) the inclusion of several objects. As long as your method 'signatures' are recognised by including the file at all.  |

| Actually, for cases like this, object models work like a charm. The major downside of doing everything with generic functions is that you'll have to be careful with the order of declaration and using stuff (vars, functions, etc.), and you pretty much make your whole application one big procedural piece of code. Plus there's the limitation when it comes to 'scoping'. The only 2 scopes you have are the ones within actual functions, and the rest of your code. Can get quite messy with a lot of variables and files. And overusing classes is never a good thing, obviously. Though in terms of readability and scalability, having a User object with Username, Password, EmailAddress properties for example, is way more for itself speaking than a $User array with a bunch of column names as indexes. Of course, the advantages of a setup like this are only really noticeable when you use a good IDE. |

Originally posted by TerraI didn't want to have anything to do with 'hip' and 'trendy' Object Oriented Programming years ago, in my board scripting era, either. Nowadays I have a pretty much identical set of scalable classes I can use without adapting changes in every new project. Call it a matter of taste, but I'd rather work with this:  ... than this:  The first, object oriented method allows IDEs with auto-completion (such as Intellisense for Visual Studio) to create a list with all properties/fields/methods your object contains. With just a few keystrokes and small amounts of code, you can make very effective and functional scripts and even programs. And best of all, you aren't required to know everything about your database (IE column names and the like) every time you want to work with data, because your business logic class takes care of that. Plus, it's generally bad practice to put SQL queries in your most front presentation files. That's very prone to errors, not very scalable and crops your files with logic that belongs elsewhere. It's better to make a so called 'Data Access Layer' where all the interaction between application and database takes place. That way it's easier to maintain and secure, not to mention make it easier to port (parts of) your application. I've had projects where the application had to be compatible with MySQL, MS SQL Server and Paradox. Good luck achieving that when you put all your loose, database platform specific queries in your presentation files. Originally posted by OoBurnsQFT. I'm currently rewriting the core code base for the PHP version of my CMS, and I'm once again made clear how annoying PHP can be by not properly supporting/implementing basic stuff such as enumerations, strong typing, method overloading, etcetera. Even the 'type hinting' alternative PHP offers because of the lack of strong typing is extremely limited, and doesn't even work on native types such as string and int.

Originally posted by KasVery true. Even in PHP, it's possible to make a class with fields, properties and methods that represent a logical object of your application. It's quite a chore as opposed to how easy it is in languages such as C#, but still, possible.And I pretty much agree with you on the "there is no debate any more" statement. OOP makes your life as a programmer so much more easier and enjoyable. Thinking back of the days where I worked with generic code only, never used a debugger and had to rewrite custom code every time over again makes me shiver.

| Sticky thread bumping time. One of my most favorite diagnostic/tracing/sniffing/troubleshooting tools is Wireshark. Monitors all network traffic and makes it easy to see what headers and packages are sent and received. |

| Dang, people still use proxies to re-register at forums to post one silly thread? This isn't 2004 anymore, you know. |

| I want to have an overview of all my opened programs and their windows, instead of getting them categorized in a few task bar buttons. I'm always on this wide screen laptop anyway, so there really isn't any loss in 'space' by putting the task bar there. |

| In spite of my 'wide' task bar, I still have more width left then necessary for a 4:3 proportion. |

| I rarely get postal mail, since I practically do everything online. The only things I receive through postal mail are salary specifications and invoices, pretty much everything else such as phone bills I save digitally. |

| Haha, it's the same here! I'll be turning 24 in a few months. I started working at quite a young age and I've always been more 'serious' and 'enterprising' than most of my friends. I currently have a summer job as a mailman (since I'll be going to Australia in a few weeks for a long time) and I have to pick up corporate mail at companies. One of these companies is the high school I went to when I was 11 - 15 years old. I really felt ancient when I saw all these tiny juveniles walking around when I went to pick up the mail. |
