The Decimal data type although precise might not be the optimum choice depending on what you want to do. Generally Direct3D and GPUs use 32-bit floats, and vectors of 3 (total 96 bits) to represent a position in x,y,z. This will usually give more than enough precision unless you need to mix both huge scale (planets) ...

I'm not entirely sure how your code works, but it seems like you have a small error in your code. On the line you posted in your question you have `$link->parent_node()`, but in the answer with the entire code snippet you have `$link**s**->parent_node()`. I don't think the `s` should be there.

This might be a reference to [RSpec](http://rspec.info/), which is a really clever way of developing tests as a series of requirements. I'm still getting used to it, but it's been very handy in both defining what I need to do and then ensuring I do it.

### The hard way You want a [recursive descent parser](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_descent_parser).

An declaration adds a layer of abstraction and protection on the instance. This protection prevents clients of the delegate from resetting the delegate and its invocation list and only allows adding or removing targets from the invocation list.

I've always used Subversion or CVS for version control, which use a 'merge' methodology. One of my friends raves about Perforce and how great it is with its change lists and check-out methodology. While I'm sure a lot of it comes down to experience & personal preference, I was wondering if any research had been done ...
What is the more efficient version control methodology: checkout or merge?

Actually, you definitely can, and it's beautiful, ugly, and crazy at the same time! You can replace sys.stdout and sys.stderr with StringIO objects that collect the output.

Merge is more efficient. For the simple reason that changes to the same file simultaneously tends to be common, and merge allows you to recover from that. In contrast, single checkout prevents that little bit of extra work but it does so at the cost of huge inefficiencies in scheduling. Typically it takes a short amoun...

You can set permissions at the folder level for which you want to grant user permissions read/write access. In your case, right click on the "Software" folder and select "Permissions".

Just did this the other day with TCPTrace on the local machine. I mapped the remote host in the hosts file to 127.0.0.1. Ran the local web server on 8080, TcpTrace on 80 pointing to 127.0.0.1:8080. Probably your issue is trying to run both at port 80 which won't work.

In addition to the index overhead, running each query as a transaction is a bad idea for the same reason. If you run chunks of inserts (say 100) within 1 explicit transaction, you should also see a performance increase.
