Oh ok is that why when I'd mess around with them pretending I was looking at my computer they would immediately call me a motherfucker that was wasting their time and hang up?
Does that include Sound Blaster for IBM's MicroChannel Architecture?
Yes, the support is still spotty. Dr. Sbaitso announces himself quite nicely but the talking parrot still has trouble laughing, unfortunately. This is expected to be fixed by 2021.
My iPad 3 also horked upon install and had to be recovered via iTunes. However it did everything automatically, just took a little longer than a normal upgrade. When it booted back up, iOS 8 was installed and everything was fine. I haven't noticed any problems or sluggishness with it.

Perl Is Undead

More telling is how utterly fast Perl is compared to the other languages. I've run most of the sample files from this language shootout and had remarkably similar results to what they list there.
The Perl version performed on par with the C and C versions, and it's growth/memory usage stayed pretty consistent throughout. The other languages were horrid. They took much longer, and their memory usage grew significantly during the run.
I use Perl still when doing scripting tasks. I love Perl, always have. I don't, however, necessarily think it's the right choice for building a medium to large web-based application any more. Sure the performance is there, and there are some great frameworks like Catalyst and Dancer, but to me, they still feel a bit antiquated to some of the other technologies I've used. Plus installing tons of CPAN modules can get a little trying at times.
This is great idea, right up until they start receiving a zillion drunk texts or things like "EMERGENCY!!! I'M REALLY HIGH AND TACO BELL IS CLOSED! SEND HELP IMMEDIATELY!!!"
Make up a number, then when they complain that it was way off, blame it on their management changing scope a hundred times throughout the life of the project!
I cannot understand why year after year we have to bring this topic up... Gentlemen! Why can't you do your research and believe that Darwin is not based / founded on FreeBSD. Most of the Darwin / Mac OS X source code is from 386-BSD and not from the FreeBSD. Darwin Is a fork from 4.4 BSD fork 386-BSD fork made for NextStep. It's true it was updated with some of the components from the FreeBSD userland, but that is pretty minor.
So the page right on Apple's site, where it states:
Darwin 1.4.1 is the UNIX-based, open-source foundation of Mac OS X. It is based on FreeBSD and Mach 3.0 technologies and provides...
I'm fine with not having the Google Reader interface as I use Reeder on Mac and iOS, but I rely on it's integration with Google Reader to 1) Have a unified place for all of my subscriptions so I don't need to manually add them (or export/import) and 2) Keep my Articles Read in sync so that I don't have to scroll through all the stuff I've already seen that day, when I get home or on another device.
I'm hoping Reeder and other RSS aggregators come up with their own cloud-based sync. Barring any current good alternatives, there's an opportunity for a start up there, me thinks.
Get hold of Martin Fowler, “Refactoring” and Michael C Feathers, “Working Effectively with Legacy Code”
I would also add Robert C. Martin's “Clean Code” to that list. for a lot of great advice on writing code. It doesn't matter how many years you've been writing code (I'm at around 30 years of doing it), that book has very valuable information that you'll be able to use.
Al Gore didn't go into the Senate until 1985. so inventing the Information Super Highway (née, Internet) must have been the very first thing he did when he got in office!
Not to mention that horrendous experience of connecting a backup hard drive, waiting 30 minutes then have the new OS installation reboot and be exactly how I had everything before doing a reinstall. That moronic process forces me to not waste 10 hours reinstalling everything, every time. Bastards.

I must say your grammar is quite good for someone who was kicked out of school half way through the 2nd grade.
I'd joke about it being an accelerated class, but this is a public school in the city of Lynn, MA we're talking about... :)
Even if it WAS a real gun, it's not like a Stormtropper can actually hit anything!
Also, I went to that elementary school until mid-year 2nd grade

Are you ready for an era where the ignition key doesn't exist?
Before this we had:
Are you ready for an era where the hand crank doesn't exist?
And before this we had:
Are you ready for an era where the horse doesn't exist?
I have a feeling we'll get through it.

Aren't "Common sense" and "the Internet" mutual exclusive things?
5) Safari performance is up
6) Battery life is down
7) And we have more excellent waterslides than any other planet we communicate with.
Sorry, had to go for a Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure tie-in. Long live Rufus!
