Or, in the present case, FAIL to create them.

Which parts of "We release a stable version of Parrot on the third Tuesday of every month

What makes that version "stable"? It changes, as you point out yourself, once a month, passing countless new unit tests. It codes to an evolving spec and is targeted by an evolving compiler.

You can check out the past seven years of the project from our public Subversion repository. Do you live in a bizarro post-existential world where completion precedes existence?

I live outside the military-industrial complex, so in my world, progress reports don't equate completion.

In the case of Perl 6, that would mean [doing exactly what you're doing]...

[...] [Why] are people working on Pugs at the moment?

Why do some people watch football and others lacrosse? Why doesn't everyone do everything exactly the way you say precisely when you say? Why aren't volunteers fungible? De gustibus non est disputandum! It's so unfair!

It seems you still fail to see that you are NOT "doing exactly" what I suggested. Perl 6 is still plodding along as a tangle of vaguely correlated individual agendas.

There is progress, yes, but is there convergence?

You're using the greatest research and publication tool known to mankind to ask a question you could answer for yourself!

That is considerably harder than it might appear to you, as the websphere for Perl 6, like the project itself, is littered with false starts and dead ends.

We publish daily statistics on Rakudo's progress passing the Perl 6 specification tests.

I still have no idea what the canonical source of these statistics would be. What I found was this plot, according to which there is NO convergence, as the number of passed tests grows more slowly than the number of overall tests.

I suspect this shall be my final post in the thread.

Flaming strawberry pop tart toaster blowtorch http://www.pmichaud.com/toast/

The definitive word from Dave Berry: http://www.cfcl.com/vlb/Cuute/f/pop_tarts.txt

Imagine that the Earth is a Pop Tart. The crust is analogous to the frosting on a Straberry Pop Tart. The mantle is much like the delicious gooey interior of the aforementioned Pop Tart. When the Earth's crust is breached, much like a Pop Tart left too long in a toaster, hot magma will shoot miles into the sky in all directions until the fire is extinguished, or all the Earth is consumed. Stop these mad scientists now!

Are suggesting that these people think the strawberry is? I don't know if that is the most ridiculous thing I have every heard, or the saddest.

While Chocolate S'mores actually contains more fat and salt they contain less sugar, more protein, as well as magnesium and copper. Neither strawberry or S'mores contain any Vitamin C. Based on this information the only reason to choose strawberry over S'mores its lower fat content. S'mores are actually slightly more nutritious.

While I'm sure they are fortified with vitamins and minerals, they have about the same nutritional value as an energy bar. They cost less than your average engery bar at about 40cents/unit.

They are not recommended for unsupervised children because they present a fire hazard in toasters. Pop-Tarts are a perfect in the event of a natural disaster because they are a high energy food that can be used to start fires in a pinch.

Depends on what you want:

The best CMS for actually making websites that I know of is Mambo on the other hand it sounds like you don't want that.

If were going for simple I'd have to say I haven't found anything that better than Gallery for pictures. You then need to figure out if you want a Website or a Blog. I haven't used many blogs but you if you want easy webpages use a Wiki

Hope you find what your looking for though.

Take a grape and cut it ALMOST is half (both halves still connected by skin). Put the two halves down on a plate (wet side down). Microwave until you see sparks and fire between the two halves.

As featured on Fun with Grapes - A Case Study. That page has my enormous respect simply for being last updated on 14 June 1994 (though the page has moved since then). The almost-as-old Strawberry Pop-Tart Blow-Torches is also highly recommended.

A quick Google for electric pickle turns up some pictures and even movies here.

Along the same lines as the eletric pickle (but totally irrelevant to the rest of the topic), there's always the sparking grape trick.
