Has the ability to navigate via UNC been added? Or more importantly, has search/replace with regular expressions improved?

I did a search/replace of [a-z] to 0 in a 50 meg text file before as a comparison between Sublime Text 2, UltraEdit, and gVim. UltraEdit was slower than I would have liked, gVim was < 10 seconds, and Sublime crashed. That's a deal breaker.

I tried Sublime Text 2 but ended up going back to UltraEdit. Appearance, support for regular expressions, and the ability to load large files are my three needs.

Sublime wins it on appearance. UltraEdit is nice with my dark theme, but Sublime is better. However, Sublime lost it on regular expressions. Attempting to perform a search/replace in Sublime on a 55 meg file wasn't just slow, the application crashed. UltraEdit was slower than I'd prefer ([a-zA-Z] to 0 in gVim took 15 seconds), but it doesn't crash at least.

I am a programmer/analyst in a hospital. I administer several systems and have my hands in most of the databases. Outside of work, I consult and write healthcare software.

You store it the same as you would any sensitive information -- behind a locked door with a ridiculous amount of audit data. It's more about identifying improper access (nurse A looking at patient B when she's not in his "circle of care") than it is about preventing it, for legitimate users of course.

You do not need to encrypt the contents of the database or any such extreme measures.

Something else to remember is that there is no bulletproof "HIPAA-Compliant" stamp. It's more a set of guidelines and best practices that you're trying to follow. Most vendors do not provide a row-by-row audit table for every single action, for example, but they should.

Looks good! I submitted feedback using the demo account but I'm not sure it'd make it to you. What I'd like to see added..

- Support for other ranking systems such as EPGP. - Integration with existing guild sites (or Facebook?). - Links to profiles on the Armory. - Support for an addon so that events on the calendar sync with the game itself. Ideally, it would link to the in-game calendar, but I'm not sure that is possible. - Additional options on creating an event. Min/max per class or per group (tank, heal, DPS), minimum rank, private invites, private events, or something similar to (but not quite) GearScore based on their Armory profile.

The two major hurdles for adoption will be the in-game calendar (convincing people to use this over it) and existing guild websites (integration).

Ephdra is not banned in the US, it's merely restricted. It's still available over the counter in Canada as well.

Apparently it does this to Vista x64, as noted in the article comments and on the CNet article.

EDIT: Spelling.

I have worked through Guru.com and enjoy it. The web site provides a lot of nice tools, including escrow payments, work rooms, and private message boards. You pay for it though -- around 7% fees on each project.

The one complaint is that you have to lower your rates substantially at the start until you build up return clients. At the point, they like your work and give you private projects.

My family uses a truly faceless bank -- President's Choice Financial. There are no physical offices for this bank other than the kiosks inside of Loblaw's grocery stores. If you need to pick up money order or something similar, you go to a CIBC.

However, I do not see the benefit of a credit union or community bank. My current bank offers:

  - No monthly or annual fee.
  - Online banking.
  - Free cheques.
  - Unlimited debit transactions.
  - Reward points for purchasing groceries with our debit card.
  - Instant availability of deposited cheques, up to several thousand dollars.
What does a credit union or community bank have to offer to me, considering that I have no need for a friendly personality or face to talk to? I am the type of guy who prefers the self-checkout lines.

(Sorry for the edits, poor formatting)

What a silly topic with a silly question. To actually "hate" a language? Or worse, to do so without even having used it?

Unfortunately it's not truly blocking ads, they're merely hidden. So you still have the lag in downloading them as well as the "xxx per site" download limit.

-------

Why do I see ads for a moment before they disappear? Why aren't all ads blocked?

Because of limitations in Chrome (or possibly my knowledge of the Chrome extension and DOM APIs), AdThwart can only remove or hide ads after they have been loaded; it can't actually prevent the browser from fetching them.

When you consider the aforementioned $10 USD for 10 hours, and the fact that Guru.com takes 7-15% of the fee, it's practically free.. :)

What would be the motivation to code a product for someone else for free? Especially considering they might profit off of it, or that you will likely hand over the rights to it afterwards. I'll admit that I am interested in coding fun projects, but that's questionable.

Are you referring to reverse-auction programming sites? There's plenty of those to be found.

I do not have a favorable opinion of most of them, and that's because they list the bid amount and bid text. It ends up becoming a race to undercut each other, to the point where I have seen a prject with a $10 USD bid that would take me 10 hours.

I frequent Guru.com to pick up small side projects here and there. It does not list the bid amounts, lists the country of origin (for both employers and freelancers), and uses an escrow service.
