I'm looking for something similar to the hulu queue where new episodes of shows I select pop up in a list with links to play them. It seems rather simple, but I have not found a site that does this for CBS shows. Thanks.

Did this get replaced by something on new models or did they just discontinue it?

I have a field that counts the number of times a page is viewed. So when the page is loaded i have a script that does `views` = `views` + 1.

Here is an example query:

UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY table SET `views` = `views`+1 WHERE ID = 4954214

This is not an indexed field so there should be no updating of indexes at all. Simple a primary key update.

Sometimes when I run it in phpMyAdmin it takes subsecond (like .0008sec), sometimes it takes over 5 seconds. Can anyone help me optimize this so that it does not take that long?

Question from Homework:

How would you list all files in the elements directory that either start with the "c" character, or end with the "m" character, or both. (hint, you may need to use more than one globbing pattern on the same command line)?

I currently have "ls c* m* c*m" but this creates duplicates. I'm not sure if that's wrong but if there is a better way I would appreciate it.

2nd Question:

Change directory to /usr/local/lib/glob. Look at the contents of the two directories inside of glob. Without changing directories, how would you list all files in example01 and example02 that DO NOT end in a 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9? What is the minimum number of characters you can use for this command?

Don't even know where to start on this one.

Thanks for the help!

I remember seeing a mootools project that created a popup for users to subscribe to an rss feed similar to AddThis or Add to Any. However, I cannot find the project now that I would like to use it. I would prefer to use this project instead of an offsite hosted solution. Thanks

Or something like that. It was popular about a year ago.

If Kinko’s buys another copy machine for $20,000, it will generate net annual cash flows of $5,000 a year for 5 years, after which it will be worthless. If their discount rate is 10%, should they invest in the copier? (ignore income taxes)

I am running the query to get data out of table A (items). If there is a corresponding row present in table B (redirects) then I want to sort off of A.`update` otherwise i want to sort off of A.`original`. Table B is accessed by key ex (A.`key` = B.`key`).

So this is sort of the sample i have right now but is not working:

SELECT `items`.* ,

CASE WHEN EXISTS (

SELECT 1 FROM `redirects` WHERE `redirects`.`key` = `items`.`key`

)

THEN `items`.`update`

ELSE `items`.`original`

END CASE AS `sort_by`

FROM `items`

WHERE (`items`.`key` = xxx)

ORDER BY `sort_by`DESC

I am looking for a utility that controls the migration from development to production (in this case moving from one directory to another). Something similar to JAM for java.

What is the best way to create this regular expression...

needs to find

123.012

-123.12

(232.20)

This is what i got: ^[(-]?\d+[.]?\d*[)]?$

but there is no way to make sure both "(" and ")" are present in my expression.

Is there a way to create a query that only updates if the passed value is greater than the current value.. something like this (obviously doesn't work but portray intent):

UPDATE `table` SET (if `field < '$total') {`field` = '$total'} WHERE `ID` = '$id';

I have a T60 with a 1.66GHz Core 2 in it and was wondering if it was possible to upgrade this to a faster chip that used the same slot. I'm worried that the CPU may be tied to the motherboard through the onboard security chip. (ie. If I replace the chip the computer won't start because it thinks its been tampered with) Is anyone familiar with restrictions on this type of upgrade?

Is there a way to sort a query by the greater of two fields?

I have one field that stores the original post date (`original`) and another field that stores update date (`update`), update is 0 by default. Both fields are numeric timestamps. I want to find the most recent articles (original or updated), so i need a query that does something like:

(`original`>`update`?`original`:`update`) as `time`, ORDER BY `time` DESC

Is this possible?

Let p.m.f. of X be defined by f(x) = 6/(pie^2 * x^2), x = 1,2,3,... Show that E(X) does not exist in this case.

is it because f(x) approaches 0 as x grows?

A man claims to have extrasensory perception (ESP). As a test, a fair coin is flipped 23 times, and the man is asked to predict the outcome in advance. He gets 19 out of 23 correct. What is the probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP?

a1, a2, a2 form a partition of the sample space S and given that P(a1) = .2, P(a2) = .5), P(a3) = .3

e is an event on S with P(e|a1) = .5, P(e|a2) = .4, P(e|a3) = .4

find P(e)

Thanks for the help guys

thanks guys

Repetition of numbers and lead zero are allowed.

Is there an equation to solve this?

Is it possible to notify users with information using a widget in the dashboard? I'm looking for something similar to the notifications in Google Desktop or Gmail Notifier. A look through the documentation did not show anything, but did say you can access thirdparty scripts/plugins.

Does anyone know of an API or something similar that provides wikipedia summaries like the ones shown on many sites?
