1. When O’Donnell pointed out that the “separation of church and state” was not in the Constitution, the law student audience erupted in laughter. Just what are those teachers teaching the students there? The clause that IS in the Constitution has nothing to do with “the separation of church and state”. It has more to do with the government not establishing a national religion so we’d end up with a ‘Church of England’.

O’Donnell was right, the students, liberal marxists, and media is WRONG. Truly ignornant folks- this is exactly why we’re kicking them out and taking the keys away.

2. I find it amazing that, all of a sudden, liberal marxists want to POINT TO THE CONSTITUTION! These are the same folks that dismiss the Constitution due to its support of slavery. So no, you can’t have it both ways.

If liberal marxists are interested in the Constitution for the first time, and want to learn what it actually says, lets look at the many, incredible limits it places on the federal government.Read it like O’Donnell has, and educate yourselves for once. Learn from O’Donnell. She’s just trying to help you.

So to all the liberal marxists out there – you’ve just been exposed as the Constitutional shams that you are. Thank you for exposing these shams, Christine O’Donnell!

Jesus these folks are idiots!

It felt like the Titanic had sunk yet again. It was 1912 all over again. This just doesn’t happen. A Mac die?? No frickin way!

I’ve been told it could be due to overheating. I keep it in a cool basement area. Who knows.What I do know is that I’ve probably  purchased 6 pc’s in recent years, and I’ve yet to have a hard drive fail. Within a year especially.

This failure helps illustrate a recent trend in “technology” that I’ve noticed. It seems as if all the “technology” I own breaks.

My one year old Samsung dvd theatre system died.

My brand new Honda mower wouldn’t run. Had to carry it back to Lowes.

My Env2 just died (I’m sure my new Droid 2 will break soon)

The computer I’m typing on now (Dell laptop) has a weird quirk that makes it type super slow. Bizarre!

My question is: Do we ever really get anywhere with technology? Was it better in the 50′s? Just something to ponder….

Why do I have such animosity for these two losers? Maybe this will explain at least part of it…

The federal government forcibly takes $$$ out of my paycheck and sticks it in the non-existent SS trust fund. They’re doing me a great favor and saving it for me. Luckily, I save my own money out and place it where I wish, in the bank, some stocks, etc.

Now here’s the funny part…. if I were to die today, where would all the $$$ I paid into SS go? Would it go to my kids? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Would it go to my mom and dad? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Would it go to my lovely sister? NOOOOOOOOO!

It’d just be “absorbed” into the SS system. If I live the average lifespan of a male, SS will trickle my money back to me. That’s the greatest example of trickle down economics I’ve ever seen.

That money, remember again – it was my hard-earned money – that I had invested myself, if I were to die, would be passed on to my heirs.

To all those really stupid, socialist, libs out there, where do you think my money belongs after I die? The answer is, I don’t really GIVE A SHIT! Stay out of my pocket assholes!

I can see libs running around, “oh, but what if the financial system collapses?? you will have no money and SS will save you!” . If the federal government would keep its grubby fingers out of the private sector, we likely wouldn’t have any financial meltdowns, seeing that they caused the last meltdown that was caused by the subprime lending market they CREATED. And they caused the great depression as well.I would also point out that we’re broke. We have no money. The federal government will likely collapse on top of us all before anything else does.

Social Security is the biggest ponzi scheme in the history of the world. The more reliant we are on this scheme, the more likely we will all go down when it does. That’s not if – that’s WHEN.

Keep your dirty, grubby little fingers out of  my pockets, you jerks.

From what they’ve told me over the last few weeks, I’m supposed to be sick, bedridden, not eating, almost-needing-a-feeding-tube, etc.

I’ve seen none of that. I’m guessing it has to do with my age. Most of their patients that receive throat radiation are older. They succumb much quicker. Not ol’ Superman here. I’ve been bragging to the radiation nurses that they must’ve plugged the machine into a 110v outlet instead of the 220v. hahahaha!

Nah, I’m feeling some minor throat pain, but nothing worse than a nasty sore throat. And it looks like I laid out in the sun for two days, just exposing my neck.

I see the surgeon again at the end of August. I guess we’ll discuss then implant options so I can get something of a voice back.

I suggested that Ray go search his own website, www.coldfusionbloggers.org, for politcal keywords. I was(n’t) surprised to see lots of political content on the site. It did happen to have a left-leaning slant.

Maybe MY conservative beliefs are the problem there. Who knows. Who cares. The point is, this proves what I’ve always thought about statists …. they love to silence folks they don’t agree with and they’re extremely close-minded.

That’s on top of being the biggest tax cheats ever. 

Here’s some code. This “listens” to an input and updates a div right beside it with a nice little check or error icon, depending on its validation:

$(“#registrationFirstName”).keyup(function(){
var registrationFirstName = $(“#registrationFirstName”).val();
if(registrationFirstName !== ”){
$(“#registrationFirstNameMsg”).html(‘<img src=”/images/accept.png” />’);
}
else{
$(“#registrationFirstNameMsg”).html(‘<img src=”/images/error.png” />’);
}
});

And le div:

<p>
<label for=”registrationFirstName”>* First Name:</label>
<input type=”text” name=”registrationFirstName” id=”registrationFirstName” /><span id=”registrationFirstNameMsg”></span>
</p>

I’m out.

Do you remember right when the guy took office, he had air force one, accompanied by fighter jets, perform a flyover in Manhattan? Likely the most idiotic decision ever made by anyone, ever!

I knew then, and I told my idiotic liberal friends that the rest of his presidency would be one big flyover – and I was correct!

You thought Bush was stupid? Hell, this jackass proves every day why Bush runs circles around him intellectually. And while I’m talking about fighter jets, Bush could fly one. I doubt Obama could even operate a damn bicycle.

We have a few more years of dumb, then we’ll get this destructive jackass outa there. Most libs are even starting to agree that “The Flyover President” has turned out to be the biggest case of buyer’s remorse in U.S. history.

Then I switch to IE8 …. the AJAX didn’t work in my AJAX-loaded dropdown! I immediately googled (that’s just whatcha do), and it LOOKED like jQuery 1.4.2 fixed IE8′s shitastic ability to fuck everything up anywhere, anytime. I was wrong, in MY case at least.

Then I found this brilliant post

“Which means that events like blur, focus, mouseenter, mouseleave, change and submit which do bubble in IE will not work in IE. However note that these events will continue to work in Firefox.”

Well well well…. my change event must not be bubbling in IE7/8.

There’s more explanation of why Microshaft has a hard time developing browsers:

“DOM models suggest that onchange event should bubble . However msdn documentation clearly says that onchange event does not bubble .”

I added the livequery plugin solution he provides, and voila! it worked!

This leads me to a question – does IE ever really advance? Why do we still run into issues at every turn with this browser? Something to ponder….

I have a products table, a skus table, an options table, and a linking many table between them.  All worked great until I changed the shopper interface to use separate selects for the options.

Select color:

Select size:

I could NOT make my queries work against that many table and select the one single sku that matched against the options chosen. I tried AND tblskuoptions_rel.skuoptionid = #form.size# AND tblskuoptions_rel.skuoptionid = #form.color# …. Bad idea.

I also tried using IN (<cfqueryparam….value=”#form.optionsChosen#” list=”yes”>)

Still no luck…. I could swear I’ve ran into this before, but I can’t remember what I did to fix it.

So I decided to go tacky. I created a new varchar field to tblskus – skuOptionList. When a sku is added in the product admin, the list of its options are inserted into my new field.

Now, when the user makes their selections, I feed the list of their selections in my query filter. The main thing I needed to do was make sure the options are always added and selected in the same order, admin, and shopper interface. If the order is off, I’m screwed.

I’m sure someone could chime in with the SQL solution for this… I just can’t come up with it. 

Here’s my final query. Doesn’t get any simpler than this.

<cfquery name=”getSku” datasource=”#application.settings.dsn#”>
select tblskus.skuid, tblskus.merchskuid
from tblskus
where tblskus.sku_prodid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype=”cf_sql_smallint” value=”#form.productid#”>
and tblskus.skuoptionlist = <cfqueryparam value=”#optionSelList#”>
</cfquery>

Robert C. Byrd, a Pillar of the Senate Democrats, Klansman, Dies at 92

I had to add the Klansman part. They wouldn’t….

Right now, I have a category tree with about 100 items. The output was running fine as I was debugging and unrelated issue with the jsTree plugin I’m using to display the tree, then all of a sudden hell broke loose.

I got this:

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet execution threw an exception

root cause

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/6.0.24 logs.

OK, umm…. so what happened? Here’s my Java memory settings for Railo:

JAVA_OPTS=”-Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=256m”

Which I changed to: JAVA_OPTS=”-Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=512m” for shits’n'giggles.

Still errors.

My other pages run fine, no errors. It’s just the ones running the category tree output.  So I started dumping in the tree output. Here’s the full tree output:

<cfoutput>
<div id=”catTree”>
<cfset previousLevel = -1>
<cfset currLevel = -1>
<cfloop query=”subtree”>
<cfset currLevel = level>
<cfif currLevel gt previousLevel>
<cfif currLevel eq 0>
<ul>
<li><a href=”/products/c/#categoryId#/#getStore.storeType#/#prettyCategoryName#”>#categoryName#</a>
<cfelse>
<ul>
<li><a href=”/products/c/#categoryId#/#getStore.storeType#/#prettyCategoryName#”>#categoryName#</a>
</cfif>
<cfelseif currLevel lt previousLevel>
<cfset temp = previousLevel>
<cfloop condition=”temp gt currLevel”>
</li></ul>
<cfset temp = temp + 1>
</cfloop>
</li><li><a href=”/products/c/#categoryId#/#getStore.storeType#/#prettyCategoryName#”>#categoryName#</a>
<cfelse>
</li><li><a href=”/products/c/#categoryId#/#getStore.storeType#/#prettyCategoryName#”>#categoryName#</a>
</cfif><cfset previousLevel = level>
</cfloop>
<cfset temp = currLevel>
<cfloop condition=”temp ge 0″>
</li></ul>
<cfset temp = temp – 1>
</cfloop>
</div>
</cfoutput>

After dumping for a while, I tracked it down to one line:

<cfelseif currLevel lt previousLevel>
<cfset temp = previousLevel>

Yep, that one line throws the outofmemoryerror. If you comment it out, the page runs fine.

I inspected Java with jConsole. I do see a lot of classes, some 4,500 +. I ran garbage collection. Nothing seems to work.

When I refresh the menu, my memory spikes:

I don’t really know what to do now. The error will not go away.

UPDATE: I had to edit my post. These lines needed to be correct. I had it backwards.

JAVA_OPTS=”-Xmx512m -XX:PermSize=256m”

Which I changed to: JAVA_OPTS=”-Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=512m” for shits’n'giggles.
