Call For Grant Proposals In Perl Development

On Elpeleg writes "The Perl Foundation is giving out grants for Perl development ranging from $500 to $3,000 in February 2009. You neither need to have a large, complex, or lengthy project nor be a Perl master or guru. You are encouraged to submit a proposal if you have a good idea and the means and ability to accomplish your Perl project. The deadline for proposal submissions is January 31, 2009."

    I'm glad I don't have a whole country full of deceitful, greedy kikes stealing all my water and land anywhere near me. Fucking Jews can't just live in peace. They have to steal other people's land. Our national economy is collapsing from the Jewbanks doing their usual Jewthing. You see, with Jews, you lose. That's how THEY win. They WIN by making YOU lose. So let's lose the Jews.

    Global warming could be swiftly solved if we incinerated all of the Jews. Their ashes would be ejected into the upper atmosphere, where they would block some sunlight from hitting the earth. The economy would improve thanks to the absence of Jewish predatory lending, and it would buy us time to deal with climate change. Two birds, one stone.

    Fun with Facts:

    • Isreal has a Jewish population of 5,309,000.
    • America has a Jewish population of 5,275,000.

    Guess who really owns America? Hint hint, it isn't the Americans.

    6) eliminate this bafflingly ridiculous notion of "references."

    from http://perldoc.perl.org/perlreftut.html :

    One of the most important new features in Perl 5 was the capability to manage complicated data structures like multidimensional arrays and nested hashes. To enable these, Perl 5 introduced a feature called `references', and using references is the key to managing complicated, structured data in Perl.

    It boggles the mind that I have to go through this nonsense to store an array in an array. Guess what I have to do in order to store an array in an array in ruby...

    or rather, guess what I don't have to do in order to store an array in an array in ruby (or probably python as well).

    I don't get it. If you make like $129K or $121K, why don't you just say so, rather than this "over than" stuff? I don't think anybody's going to look at that and think, "hey, maybe he makes $900K! He did say *over*, after all!" That and you're posting as AC, which shouldn't make it a big deal... :D

    "over than." sigh. I hope this vista upgrade finishes soon so I can go to bed.
