It won't win any "Hello, World" benchmark contests (and, therefore, is probably unsuited for your described needs), but Mason is another "embedded perl" candidate, which is well-suited for robust application development.
Thousands of Amigans gathered in Cologne Germany to buy the many new poducts on display at the booths or to watch the various presentations of the 20+ attending companies.
I knew it was only time before those Germans brought back pograms!
Why have I been trashing my karma in recent posts? Because being over the 50 point limit means I can only lose points. I like contributing intelligently to/. but miss the karma feedback. If I drop my karma significantly then I can work on contrbuting as before and enjoy watching the karma rise. When I hit 50 again, I'll troll and flamebait and off-topic all over again.
AltaVista began life as a search engine that tried to become a portal and then had aspirations of AOL-hood.
Google came along with a superior search engine and a vision of just doing that. And doing it better than anyone else.
Since Google came along I've given up on AltaVista. Perhaps that is why AltaVista has given up on FreeISP -- they recognize their dilution and are refocusing on their original mission.
Perhaps I was explaining why I made a silly subject line: I was trying to produce the effect of a 4 year-old on the playground saying a taunting cliche.
It's funny. Laugh.
Now, that the parent's parent was marked Off-Topic is just stupid!
I'm responding to the drivel above inorder to burn off excess karma points.
It's either this way or losing them via meta-moderation. This is faster. Meta-moderation requires that I actually have moderator points and it takes a while for that to cycle around.
Oh, and I'll leave my +1 bonus on for extra effect.
I bet the cable-cut incident as occuring sometime around 19:14 PM Pacific time on Sunday, Nov 19.
Why do I say that? Because I run a web service that criss-crosses between California and Australia (and Tasmania, for what it's worth). We have an n-Tier web application that is hosted, in tiers, both in AU and in CA. The customer's sites are hosted in AU but link to web app pages in CA. Then the web server connects via secured named pipe to a legacy application server back in AU. (Yes, the transaction pings and pongs from the US to AU multiple times before completion). This is usually extremely transparent to the user (you can bet were not running Flash animation over these links!). But beginning Sunday at 19:14 PM my time, the usual became excruciatingly unusual. That's when I began logging timeout errors.
I don't know whether to be shocked at what effect one cut cable has caused, or to marvel that even with a severe blow to a continental backbone the Internet is routing around the damage, as designed.
One thing for sure -- I'm glad I'm not running a leased-line application that requires me or my company to troubleshoot the network! How nice to completely off-load responibility for intercontinental networking to completely unrelated third parties. There's antother point to be made about the distribution of labor in this story...and the economies of scale... but I digress...

Huh! imagine that. I didn't have to enter a credit card number to enable those links! How nice of them...
Heh. Cute. And, true.

They did say no porn and no personal pages...
Now that was a Troll. Good Moderation!

Troll?
Huh?
How is this Off-Topic?

Not Off-Topic at all. Rather, it's +1 Insightful!
Overrated?
Come on! Worse things than this are moderated up!
Off-Topic?
It's a direct rejoinder to the parent-post! A deft turn-of-phrase as in "It's Funny. Laugh."
Flamebait? What -- I was taunting myself?

MTIC has an awesome product and support crew. I've seen the inside of their plant. The stock is in the toilet but ... so is just about everything else!
I've given up on AltaVista!
Read the parent's subject line with a school-yard taunting voice with appropriate rhythm and tongue-protrusion.
See?
I wonder if we could get an annotated digest of these painfully long and sleep-inducing tickers. Something like a Kernel Traffic digest...

I assume it's posted because of some awesome revelation or admission -- but I haven't the patience tonight to wade through it.

After being tricked once to view that god-awful picture I was cured of clicking on links without a looksee at the link itself.
Sick people out there!
(No, the parent's link is not such a trick).
Just avoid the bi-athletes!
It's FUNNY +1!!

Funny retort (though not timely!).
Hey, that's the requirement of one of our customers. So be it. Obviously, we don't recommend it but...it's their call.
Hence, "experienced developers"...some who've dealt with obscene constraints and succeeded.
