i have to admit that microsoft windowsXP GUI/Explorer/IE is way more advance than Gnome/* or KDE/Konqueror.

Oh,talking about performance,i know sorting before accessing it will slow down the system a lot.

How about hash the list,then search it?

I can just think of storing your stuffs in multi-dimensional array.Then you can sort/reverse-sort particular dimension and get the latest element.

is it ok?

What sort of sorted list is that?

Some data entries seperated by line breaks?

I wanna give it a try to exercise my brain,more details please!

Job

Still coding a simple web application in ASP in office.I found its connectivity to a plain ACCESS .mdb file thru Standard SQL queries is very useful and interesting.

Who said those programmers in Microsoft are all idiots?

Articles

#1

Wrote an article on ASP vs. PHP.

In conclusion,PHP is more versatille and efficient.

#2

Writing an article about web caching. It talks about caching of both dynamic and static contents and compression of PHP outputs.

It also details the advantages and disadvantages of using caching.

#3

This one is about broadband DIY at Hongkong.A newbie style screen-shots based article.Not for geeks.

Although not all programmers in Microsoft are all idiots,but some of them are!

Microsoft,thanks for creating such a robust OS and web server product,which screw up 20% of web sys admins in the world.

The above attack is caused by Code Red II,a variant which can actually destroy your OS.
