Who ever said that getting the whole picture was easy or quick? It's your whole attitude of consulting some other "trusted" source, rather than investigating the matter on your own, which leads to people being easily manipulated.
Unfortunately people dont have infinite time to fully research all subjects. The attitude that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia is obviously leading to people being manipulated and mislead. The solution is another system that can be trusted, because it's necessary.
Anonymity doesn't play nearly as much a role as most people think.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you are couching your abstract views in false assertions. There are many factors that contribute to a noise:signal ratio. The ability to fully participate anonymously, is the largest single factor and why basic forum frameworks fall apart when participation increases. I don't see anything that supports your assertions, but see plenty of historical examples to the contrary.
My last program was over 400,000 lines, written over one summer. This was the project that taught me that USB drives are UNRELIABLE. Coded alone. Some line generated by Eclipse plugins (get/sets), some blank lines some brackets and declarations, etc. Outside of design time, I write 6 lines a minute in Java (which is SLOW work) on average...2000 work hours in a year, do the math. I have met AMATEUR programmers who program slower and faster than me to varying degrees.
At best, your comment is unnecessarily critical, at worst, plain ignorant. I wonder where you are coming from. Millions of lines of code is nothing extraordinary.
I taught myself to program 8 years ago. I know all the languages listed (to varying degrees...the middle stuff less than the top and bottom of the list)..
I assume you know BASIC HTML.
If you want to learn to program, learn scripting, learn PHP, use Apache if you can.
If you want to learn about databases, learn SQL, use MySQL. SQL IS A MUST IN ALL LANGUAGES FOR THE FUTURE.
You might get a job one day making scripts that make webpages with these skills.
If you want to learn compiled programming, graphics, real applications, you want to try Python. If you took Pascal in school, you still need the graphics experience.
If you find you want to make useful applications quickly and sloppily (read: Visual Basic), try RealBasic. I've made programs in 3 months in RealBasic (MSSQL backend) with 0 experience that I have _sold_. That's why VB got popular and why it's dangerous.
If you can't take classes to learn C++ AND the Visual C++ development environment, try Java. They are similar kinds of pain. After your VC++ training you might get a job (ridiculous but true). After 2 Java classes you'll have a vague understanding of all the things a windows C++ programmer has to think about without being employable as a Java OR C++ programmer. Personally, I think learning Java hurts you nowadays.
If you want to move on to something more progressive after you can bang out a database abstraction, a program that saves a screenshot of your own screen to the desktop, and can send a message to GAIM in a couple languages (one of which will be Python), try a concurrent language like erlang.
P.S. I've written millions of lines of Java, but I can already hear real Java professionals coming at me. Met a girl at a bar tonite who has a (PHP) sticker on her Jetta cause that's what she does for a living. That's hot.
Equlibrium was good, but wouldn't have been better with a bigger budget. The original Punisher would have been better. Equilibrium had the money to rent military vehicles and top-notch special effects. Mark Goldblatt had to resort to using the same set for all of the end scenes. The limited action within paper walls was brilliant innovation. You know he went on to do Terminator 2, The Last Boy Scout, True Lies, Predator 2...You need to watch more movies, since you're obviously young and unable to tell the difference between "budget" and "talent".
The Dolph version of that movie was horrible and everyone you ask will say the same
I think there's a couple thousand people who would disagree with that statement bucko. Also mention how Buckaroo Bonzai, Welcome to the Dollhouse, and Equilibrium "were horrible and everyone you ask will say the same".
But if the link is good, why NOT share it with the audience? I believe my first priority is to the readers here.
Didn't the whole Jon Katz thing illustrate that when you earn a negative reputation...you're unpopular and therefore outside of the "format & demographic"?
What's the point of attribution? Recognition. The vast majority of/. readers don't care or outright approve of crediting. Everyone likes to hear/see their name. Unfortunately you end up with people who sit around all day making link submissions. Is it really fair to form your story pool with a perceived skew toward select few linkwhores? Why not stop attributing after 5 stories per month...what's the point? Send em a message that they had a story chosen and it was anonymized. If their agenda is to get a continuous barrage of (real or imagined) recognition for being a submitter/linkwhore, is/. really the place for that?
Now technically speaking, we could add a nofollow to their URLs. Or strip them entirely. But that puts me into the position of editing not just the submission, but the submittor, and i really don't think that this is "Right".
What do readers get upset about? Scams. If you're feeding referral sites, users get pissed because editors are not excercising due dilligence in EDITING and it's reasonable for readers to expect protection from that. News sites are about content and that's 1/2 the value.
No Follow is the correct answer. There's no moral ground to stand on when an editor is claiming non-interference with link format after practicing editing by selection (throwing out 50 prior submissions to the same content with a different editorial and/or link format). Unfortunately editors often have to do the edit work, there's nothing "wrong" about it.
Specifically, the reason I friended you was, the sig + quick review of past comments. I have seen your name + excellent insight, a number of times and remembered.
I admit when I'm wrong a-plenty. Especially when I learn something new.
I don't pay for a subscription either, for the same reason as your sig. The moment they went pay, the community of mods mysteriously dried up...
I particularly liked the part where he asks why it cant talk to the Active Directory when it can hit the web page when a Linux user would know how services/ports work. This is a crappy article.
By the time I was a full time PHP developer (PHP/FI 2.0 had just moved to PHP3) I was tinkering with RedHat 4.2 in June of 1997 (which had a barely useable GUI)...RedHat 1.0 had come out in 1994. To put it in better perspective, Yahoo was a well known brand by 1995 (to those who had a web browser, not AOL users). For all of the problems with Linux at the time, BSD was always touted as the "solid" Free OS along with Solaris the "solid" corporate OS. That's just my perspective.
, perl Linux, and MySql because they really where the foundation of most of the Internet
Um, Linux? I don't think so. It's big NOW, which is a far cry from "foundation". We might have to get in to when the internet really formed, but I think that's a false statement on its face.
The Internet is, at heart, a phenomenon created by the free interaction of hundreds of millions of human beings.
I think this is a gross mischaracterization and potentially an ignorant idealogue statement. I agree with some of the parent (regarding details of the birthing) but the Internet _is_ a global mass of hardware and signals following protocols. Many organizations and people helped DEFINE the internet, limiting it to obtuse connection protocols, people are largely uninvolved. You can implement a functional "internet" at home with a little bit of reading. That doesn't take the involvement of "hundreds of millions of human beings" who don't even understand how the protocols work or why they lead to an extensible and easy-to-replicate control structure. Of course contributing by commenting on/. or posting up an AOL webpage is a lot like sneezing into the wind to trying to change the north atlantic current. Might want to try responding to an RFC.
You missed the point (as did some of the mods I see). Careful and diligent observation can contradict common sense. The difference between scientific fact and common sense includes an objective tool of measurement. This is where the proof comes in. Common sense is often wrong and has always made for historical comedy.
Its not an option for you to reject, it is known to be broken and should not be used
Scaffolding is not a broken concept, it's a fundamental (code re-use) with a new name. You already use it when you use Dreamweaver or pull a function from another project or something you copy from a textbook. I believe that you interpret "scaffolding" as a static database interface. That's one example of it, not the definition.
I've used Yahoo for a good long time (6 years). I can't give you the name of one cute girl under the age of 21 who uses gmail over yahoo. When Google gets hip, they'll be "king".
Reality check. POP3 is the best, but only for those who know what it means. That's not the actual market, that's just for uber-techs...and hopefully the future.
Please re-read the section of my post, which covers why I reject default scaffolding outright.
Can you alter the templates generated? If I have coding standards implemented, I have serious doubts the default RoR scaffold templates specifically adhere to mine.
Useful coding standards aren't about indentation, alone.
Practical question about Rails implementation with Ruby.
I concede that "scaffolding" is used by EVERY PROGRAMMER. That's the idea behind code reuse. "I'll adapt my authentication I made for a BB system to use as auth for an entire website." "I'll use my pretty table CSS from last year for displaying this data."

How is this article generating all this Ruby-anti-Ruby nonsense when it's a question of Rail implementation? More importantly, why isn't there a PHPoR?

Because Eclipse isn't just a Java IDE anymore? Is Linux just a unix microkernel implementation?
Your last statement is false and false. /kneejerk
