indyz 1 #5 December 10, 2004 Oh jeez. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm saying I wouldn't use it so I don't care. A news feed, on the other hand, I'd be all over that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #6 December 10, 2004 Quoteit doesn't say what an "RSS feed" is... Really Simple Syndication RSS is a newsfeed. It's allows publishers to easily post their content onto other sites. An example, if DZ.com were to publish RSS feeds for the News Section, then you could go to my.yahoo.com or any other RSS agregator, and see dz.com news articles just as you would see articles from Reuters or AP. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

It's so easy to be rude to others online, when you stay anonymous and don't have the wherewithall to identify yourself in your profile. Have a nice day.

The forum rules have no bearing on it -- if you read some of the other threads, you'd see that anons are not looked upon with favor in this community. It's no sweat off my forehead, but you'll find that you're better received if the community feels they know something about you. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

JohnRich 4 #16 December 14, 2004 QuoteYou'd be better off ..., rather than feeling sorry for yourself. I do not feel sorry for myself. Where did you get the idea that I did? QuoteWhat would you do even if you did know who I was? Have your posse hunt me down? Ptthp! Hilarious! Show me where the forum rules say that I can't be anonymous. I have no posse, nor want one, as I have no desire to find you. My point was only that it is easy to be rude when you hide behind a mask of anonymity. I give more credence to those people who are willing to make themselves known and to be personally associated with their statements here. To each his own. You should note that once someone explained the phrase to me, that I agreed it would be a nice feature here. However, if you want to propose something new, then it's up to you to explain it properly to garner support for the proposal from others. If you don't bother to explain things to the masses, you can't expect much support. If you weren't interested in putting the idea before the masses, then you could have just sent a private e-mail to the forum owner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KidWicked 0 #17 December 14, 2004 QuoteI do not feel sorry for myself. Where did you get the idea that I did? When you said this: "Thank you for the atmosphere of sharing and education which you promote." (You might want to look up "passive aggressive" on Google too.) I reiterate: it is NOT my job to teach you how to open a web browser, go to google.com, type in "define RSS", and hit return. Christ, how do you survive as an adult when you expect everything to be laid out for you? Do I work for you? No. This is the suggestions and feedback forum for a web site, it stands to reason that it's going to have technical content and technical questions posted to it. You limped into a thread on a topic you knew nothing about, and complained that I didn't explain a technology to you. Do you want me to explain client/server computing as well? How about how to use a mouse? QuoteI give more credence to those people who are willing to make themselves known and to be personally associated with their statements here. Try making that statement in the BASE forum and see what happens, and that is where 95% of my posts are made. There are good reasons to be anonymous, and the owner of this site seems to understand that. Frankly, I don't care if you give "credence" to my posts or not. I did not post in this forum seeking to have a conversation with you... I would have prefered it if you had not butted in when you did. 15 seconds on Google would have answered your question and we would have never had to get into all this.Coreece: "You sound like some skinheads I know, but your prejudice is with Christians, not niggers..."

Oh, by the way, since you seem to be computer and technically knowledgeable - can you tell me how to patch the NPO pointers for an orphan db-key in an IDMS database set chain?
