[12:23] WetWired: I could extract column headings from the data, then I could look back at an earlier block in the XML that can contain extra information on how to format the table, for instance

[12:24] WetWired: Not to mention how much simpler my PHP code was and how much bandwidth and loading time was saved

[12:24] Randuin: yeah

[12:24] Randuin: i've been messing with

[12:24] WetWired: If it were simple to use XSLT for vB, I'd definately move vB over

[12:24] Randuin: wait for it

[12:24] Randuin: it's totally web 2.0 btw

[12:25] Randuin: RUBY ON RAILZZZZZ

[12:27] Randuin: no seriously though, it's probably because i never really properly OOP'd my stuff in PHP but in rails you're kind of forced into it

[12:27] Randuin: and it's nice

[12:30] WetWired: My biggest problem with programming languages that aren't PHP are their impotent array constructs. In PHP, I can load a DB record into a generic array, I can explode a string into an array, I can implode an array into a string, I can serialize an array into a string such that I can reconstruct the exact same array later, I can sort the array, I can get the (mixed type) keys and perform operations on them, and on and on and on.

[12:30] WetWired: In C, I can change values of array elements, and that's about it

[12:31] WetWired: If JS, I can change values of array elements and add and remove them

[12:31] WetWired: In VB, I'd be lucky just to get the array the size I want

[12:32] WetWired: For pretty much any data manipulation task, my language of choice is PHP

[12:32] Randuin: lol VB

[12:33] Randuin: ruby is actually quite powerful about that

[12:33] WetWired: ASP=VB

[12:34] Randuin: well ASP.net is alot better about that isn't it

[12:34] System: D3V has joined the chat

[12:34] D3V: uh

[12:34] Randuin: DATATYPES

[12:34] WetWired: Whoever decided that VB was a good language to write web applications with should be smacked. Repeatedly. Some more. Not finished. Still smacking. Unconcious yet?

[12:35] System: D3V has left the chat

[12:35] Randuin: lol

[12:35] Randuin: my girlfriend's mom works for mwave, and their website is done in like 3 different languages

[12:35] Randuin: including VB

[12:36] WetWired: o_0

[12:36] WetWired: I'm guessing by several different people during several different time periods?

[12:38] Randuin: yeah

[12:38] Randuin: they're redoing everything in ASP.net though

[13:31] HandOfHeaven: ............................I mastubate all the time

[13:31] HandOfHeaven: and I misspell masturbate

[13:33] Kaneda: Ya... I tend to think of it now as maintaining. Once the sex comes around that actually drops hornyness levels.

[13:33] Kaneda: Masterbation just simply maintains a tolerable level

[13:33] Kaneda: Lets see your hotornot double matches HoH
