C-x C-b will open the "\*Buffer List\*" buffer. In that buffer, you can navigate with C-p, C-n, up-arrow, down-arrow, etc.
Browsing a directory is as simple as editing a file. Just open the directory instead of the file. On my Linux machine, "C-x C-f /tmp ENTER" opens a directory while "C-x C-f /tmp/myfile ENTER" op... |
It's worth it. It's faster, the designer is vastly improved (split view, faster context switching), it has better support for javascript and when you're ready to target 3.5, you'll be ready to go. |
As an aside: When using functions instead of methods, you could also use functools.partial:

About 1% of users actually use Google Docs&Spreadsheets full-time. Almost all of the rest use Microsoft Office.

Gosh, I hope not as that's my job.

Better Merge Tool for Subversion |
|svn|tortoisesvn| |
Is there a good external merge tool for tortoisesvn (I don't particularly like the built in Merge tool). I use WinMerge for diffs, but it doesn't work with the three way merge (maybe a better question would be is there a way to force tortoisesvn to merge like tortoisecvs?) |

Regarding your request -- *I am specifically trying to change the cursor in this instance to that of a pointer* -- the easiest way is to specify `cursor:pointer` in your css. I think you will find that works in IE 6.

The best option sounds like setting Visual Studio to break on all unhandled exceptions (Debug -> Exceptions dialog, check the box for "Common Language Runtime Exceptions" and possibly the others as well).

Note that TRUNCATE will also reset any auto incrementing keys, if you are using those.

There are many variables that can impact your application's performance. I recommend that you do not instantly assume PHP is the problem.

It causes the evaluation of multiple statements, but uses only the last one as a resulting value (rvalue, I think).
So...
int f() { return 7; }
int g() { return 8; }
int x = (printf("assigning x"), f(), g() );
should result in x being set to 8. |
[Subversion][1] with [TortoiseSVN][2].
Like all version control systems, it will sound reasonably complex when you start off, but it's really very simple once you get into it, works well for a single developer, and doesn't require any network access if you don't want it to.
Plus, it's free.
