    What? In Utah we were told candy cigarettes were a gateway drug! Had to drive to Evanston, WY to get them.

  2. omg the phone broke... on The Worst Products of CES 2010 · · Score: 1

    just because it broke doesn't mean it's not rugged or useful.

    Large programs, built using small tools that do one thing and do them well, with simple and well-defined inputs and output, with orthagonal effects on the rest of the system....the Unix way...are the most successful, stable, and easily updated systems in use.

    Your UID leads me to believe you've read The Art of Unix Programming by Eric S Raymond....did your brain fall out since then?

    A porche IS A car.
    You already know about this, obviously.

    A car HAS A carburetor.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Has-a

    The as-a is seldom used, but objects of one class can be used as-a object of another derived class if the parent supports it and the language supports it. For example... road tire and spare tire both inherit from tire, but one can inherit from the other (like siblings) and be used AS another, while overriding only say max_speed=45 for the spare.

    You could argue that the spirit is the base class, although it is pure virtual.

  8. Re:object-oriented? on Learning JQuery 1.3 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is a prototype.

    JavaScript uses prototypes instead of classes for inheritance. It is possible to simulate many class-based features with prototypes in JavaScript.

    You are mimicking some of the utility, but that's not OO. Go ahead and show me is-a, has-a, and as-a inheritance in Javascript.

  9. object-oriented? on Learning JQuery 1.3 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Because you don't make classes and instances of the classes, you just use object.property notation, Javascript is NOT object-oriented. It is object-based.
