Neat, isn’t it? Tortilla chips, apparently, burn quite well if you put a match to them. If you take 2 to 3 of them and (taking the proper safety precautions) set them on fire, they will burn brilliantly for several minutes, giving you ample time to toast a marshmallow or two.

Undefined Functions in Object-Oriented PHP
Just had a big “duh” moment.
Have you ever had a PHP method (a function inside a class, in case you’re new to the whole OOP thing) cause a "Fatal Error: Call to undefined function 'whatever'..." even though you are 100% sure that the method has been defined?
You’re missing the $this-> before your call to the method. :P
Bandwidth Caps
Here’s an idea, how about all of these ISPs use one bandwidth cap formula:
x * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30, where x would be the speed of the internet connection.
There’s no point in selling someone 30mb/sec cable internet access if they can still only download as much data as I can on my 1mb/sec DSL in a month.
I’m tired of all this talk of bandwidth caps and such. ISPs, give your customers what they’re paying for. Internet access is expensive enough as it is without making things worse.
Or at least provide the option for a customer to pay for more usage instead of cutting them off entirely…
