I tend to scope these, it is not out of worry of me not knowing what I am referencing or even of someone else coming in and not knowing. I think it is more of just out of habbit and it just gets typed. I do know at one time I came across a prior developers work who would be in a and they would

I agree 100% on this, there have been countless times where I was trying to determine where #blah# came from. Of course it does not help when dealing with someones code who could have #blah# coming from 3-4 different scopes, just all depends on which method they took to load up the page. On 5/9

This could be purposely done and part of someones style. I always do the method but have seen the other route taken from rather knowledgable people. At what point do you decide it would be easier to follow some nested if's over one single long if statement. I can not really think of an example

Dang your guru definition makes several self-proclaimed CF gurus look like near mid-level guys ;) What is your definition of Senior? I'd assume that is in between mid and guru or does it just jump straight to guru for you? On 5/6/05, Gregory Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ok my 2 cents.

I took "advantage" of this last year since a 1099 and self-employed and needed a new vehicle. I went out and bought a truck that was of the proper weight class so was able to right off a huge chunk of its purchase price and that helped me out enormously with taxes for 2004. Too bad I am thus far

I was curious about that as well. Right now I am doing 1099 and making my quartly payments. I figure about 35% of my income towards taxes. When I look at my paychecks I feel like a rich man, too bad once I pay taxes(on my own) and deal with medical and so on, I am not really clearing a ton of mo
