Response to: Reducing the size of XHR? Posted September 22nd, 2012 in Programming

Possible causes:
1. I use GET and not POST. What is the right one here to use, btw?

GET is techincally faster than POST, but that does not mean it's noticable in any way. The request header in GET is smaller than the one in POST.

POST is more secure than GET. In GET you send the information in the url, e.x: http://example.com/ex.php?info=something.

GET is also chaceable, so that might be a problem if you are sending many XHR-requests with diffrent information!

While POST information is not sent directly in the header and therefore slower. It is being sent in a POST container separated from the header and is being packed out on the server.

Here's a good example:
http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/the-definitive-guide-to-get-vs -post

But no. I don't think it would slow down your request. But have a try!

2. I could minify the .php file?

As already said, no :( It's handled on the server side and not loaded by the user (client) to see.

3. My hosting company is giving me a slow bandwidth. (Even though I am paying for the most expensive one)

That might be it! I would recomend you take a speed test on your site. Maybe you'll consider changing hosting company to try. I would have made a call to them to check it up.

4. I use an URI to access the MySQL server and not an IP adress?

Many use an URL to the MySQL database.

But hope is not lost:
Server Sent Events MIGHT help you. Though, I have no idea how it works and if it will help you at all, I have no idea. It's also not supported by IE and mobile browsers, so if you want to support those, you'll have to make a handler for that (if sentence).

Read about it here:

and here:

This is all I could find in a few minutes, though! Hope it helps!

First: Start off easy. And gradually make more advanced things.

Second: Choose the language you want to start with. Are you going to develop for a spesific OS or something? Maybe you want to make it cross-platform. It's up to you and what you want to make... and HOW you want it to be avaible.

You can start with something easy like Python as already suggested. I have heard it's a good start when programming and still is used by people in big compaines.

What I recomend...
In the start, I learned Visual Basic and it's good - especially when you want to start of easy. Many compain about the speed and it's not cross platform, and all the restrictions. I liked programming in it and it gave me a good introduction to programming.

You can also start web developing which is both fun and good if you have a hosting site. You can reach loads of people with this - computers, smartphones, tablets and whatnot!

Bottom line...
I belive the web is the future, so personally I would have started web developing. But hey... that's just my opinion! Good luck!

Do you work out? Posted September 19th, 2012 in General

Does anyone of you work out daily or do you just sit home eating hamburgers?

Response to: Will Science Someday Rule Out God Posted September 19th, 2012 in General

I don't know, but one thing is for sure: The world is getting more and more "realistic" to put it like that. Religion provides support that science does not. I think we need kinda both.

Response to: Mtn. Dew Posted September 19th, 2012 in General

Mountain Dew tastes good. I hardly ever see it in the store, though.

Response to: Using IE9? Posted September 19th, 2012 in General

God, no! I used IE/Firefox until 2008, when I changed to Google Chrome.... and the world has never been brighter!

Personally, I think the usage of IE (in particullar, the old ones) is bad. Me as a web developer have to do a lot of extra work when it comes to devloping to support old browsers and we can't even use the new and cooler things added to the internet.

Response to: Views on stat whores. Posted September 19th, 2012 in General

I must confest that I was a stat whore when I started and some years.... BUT, I figured out that there was no point of being the biggest. Really, it just shows who's addicted to Newgrounds. I post because I enjoy it a lot when I don't have anything to do.

Why on earth would you eat that much? Though, it sound delicious!

Response to: Mountain Dew Crew Posted September 19th, 2012 in Clubs & Crews

I never knew there was a Dew Crew?!

In my country they only sell the normal Mountain Dew, so I haven't tasted the diffrent types. (I had the chance when I was in New York, though)

I do agree with you - almost. I'm tired of movies... they are just too long sometimes. Series is great to watch if you don't have a lot of time. Maybe an episode is 30-60 minutes; a movie is like 90 minutes or more.

But on topic: I agree that series that just keep on going and going after they have "used" the whole topic up and they just become messy.

Exactly why it's not on the top of my list of shows to watch. Show about a bunch of fags?

It would suck if no one got that reference.

I got it! Bikecurious!

Response to: If everyone was raised the same way Posted September 19th, 2012 in General

Wouldn't people be more the same? If there's no diffrence between people, talking OR meeting new people isn't that exciting as it were. People are already too boring. We need diffrent people in this world.

Response to: How many movies you watch in a week Posted September 19th, 2012 in General

Response to: Help programming a 3D open world Posted September 19th, 2012 in Programming

You should start small and then go to more advanced project after a while. I remember I was just like you: Going to start building a big and awesome 3D-game.... hehe.

Only advice I can give you: Start small!

I like iOS because it's more user-friendly. Android is a little messy... (Though, I have an Android :D)

Response to: TV Series Crew Posted August 28th, 2012 in Clubs & Crews

Breaking Bad se 5, ep7.

I don't really like how they did turn in the last episode. It kinda feels like it has gone to be a whole lot of mess. How Walter just impulsivly kills Mike was just dumb in my opinion. He also stated to Jessie that there will be no more killing. I have no idea what will happen in the next episode, but as of now... I'm not happy with how it turned in this episode. But don't get me wrong; I like the show, but just not this episode.
