Lead PHP Developer Quits

Jasper Bryant-Greene writes "Jani Taskinen, one of the lead developers of the Zend Engine (the engine that powers PHP), as well as a lead developer for the thread safety system and other core components of the PHP project, has quit in a relatively cryptic message to the php-internals mailing list. Jani has been involved with PHP for about 6 years and his loss will undoubtedly be a big blow for the PHP project."

    To paraphrase Dion. "My [code] will go on."

    Yes, Israel has the right to defend itself as any other country would, BUT i call attacking the civilian population, the utilities and other civilian infrastructure the right response for a extremist movement kiddnapping two (2) people.

    Also remember that you can't fight agains fanatics with violence, as there will always be another ones willing to follow the killed marthyrs. (for example take israelis actions in gaza, where it focuses it's attacks on the families of terrorists leveling entire city blocks in the process, creating many more desperate people who feel that israel has destroyed their lives.

    Also bear in mind that the rest of the world excluding USA has condemmed the strikes, but USA can't even think that it's pet nation, the israel, would do anything wrong.

    The most scary thing about this conflict is that there is only one major army involved, and it's attacking the civilian population, and it has nukes, all this happening on a already unstable region.

    And Israel might not be interested in killing the maximum number of civilians, but it doesn't cary much of civilian victims and it is doing war crimes and delibetarely destroyng civilian infrastructure. And just days ago Israel army said that for each rocket lacunhed to Israel it will revenge by destroyng 10 Lebanese apartment buildings. And Israelis might not be handing out candies on streets of Tel Aviv, but Israeli children write messages like "From Israel with Love" to the bombs (warning, gory images) Israel drops to Lebanon.

    Hardly 'karma whoring' here. I simply didn't read every single reply before I threw mine together. First time I've duped anyone here on /. that I'm aware of.

    Nothing to see here, let's move along...
