Barbecued Tri-Tip is better than C

At least, when you're hungry.

Since I don't seem to be able to reach

Chiron Paixos <CH**********@s pammotel.com>

by email, let me ask what made you think my single post to a single
newsgroup, as a (hopefully) humorous response to the other silly threads,
i.e., "x is better than C", was spam and required reporting? Not that
anybody took the report seriously, I might add.

While we're at it, are there others who are incensed/annoyed/whatever by
my previous post and think it was totally wrong, or not even mildly
humongous?

Try again, got rid of English (International) dictionary: "humorous", not
"humongous"

And for what it's worth:

Humour is in the eye (or, perhaps in this case, the taste-buds) of the
beholder. I didn't think your article was particularly side-splitting, but
I certainly wasn't annoyed by it.

In any event, it was factually incorrect. C is much better than Barbecued
Tri-Tip, even if you're hungry. To remove() your hunger, just rewind() a
little, take your feet off the floor(), and pow()! That chocolate log()
sure puts() the abs() to work. It really is a sin().

Hmmm. This isn't as funny as I'd hoped. I think it's time() for a sharp
exit().

FWIW, I laughed :) You should certainly abort() your current career and
sprintf() to your local paper and get a job as a humor columnist. I'll even
let you take a celebratory strtok() from my hash pipe.

Encoding a standard header sounds a bit ... suspicious. Almost as
suspicious as stripping previous headers, or spoofing the return path.

Hello I would like to call a unix shellscript from within a PHP script and - write data to its STDIN - read data from its STDOUT *and* STDERR - get its exit code afterwards proc_open seems to be the right thing to use but I have the problem that the called program gives >8kb data on both stdout/stderr back which causes my PHP script to simply hang in the fread call.

I'm working with a subclassed listview control and I'd like to have the ability to set the checkbox on a certain item to indeterminate.

I need to make a tri-state check box. (It's values will be off, checked-always on, or 1-run once) Would I be correct in assuming the best way to do this is to make some kind of custom control that displays a "checkbox". The control would have JS in it to change a graphic image that represents the box. If this is the case, how would I read in the selected value once the form is posted? I'm planning on having a couple on the same form...
