Airtel Systems Crash

>From the look of things, Airtel appears to have experienced a major system error/glitch - affecting probably thousands/millions of their clients. I have 6 dead corporate lines as I write this. I don't listen to the radio while working but I wonder if they have explained it in some Radio/TV updates. Anyone?

PHP Profiling
by Peter Karunyu 27 May '11

27 May '11

To the PHP devs out there, a simple question; which tool/feature do you use to profile your code? Some use CI's profiler, some use PHP's core functions, some use their own functions, some use xdebug... I simply wish to know which is the most popular tool for profiling.

Question : A string as a bool value
by aki 27 May '11

27 May '11

- I'm working on setting up an http interface and one requirement that am working with was to take a string and use it's status as a bool. The result of the string I then run the bool in a conditional if/else block, and it works fine when true but is not triggered when false. Even tried with a null, same result. Anyone been down this road and willing to share some info? I believe this question is not language dependent. -File stream: Not sure whether the stream referred to in programming is in binary format? E.g. in the comms world, streams are modulated binaries in a digital signal i.e the payload binaries are carried by a modulated carrier. Anyone care to discuss the file streams in programs. Cheers. :-)
