    On Brazil a boy can kiss a girls on the cheek and NOT get suspended

    So you think its ok for a father to stroke his dauther's genitals?

  3. Re:Is it time.... on Brazilian Court Bans P2P Software · · Score: 1

    You should get yourself informed. There are witnesses saying the guy was stroking the girl's intimate parts just before the kiss. That's why they called the police.

    Ok. Got it (even without the car analogy!). But on this case, the are places where you could use either Linux or Haiku (like as a Desktop). On those places, my previous post still stands true. Look out, car analogy too: is there a place where you can use either a tractor trailer or a ferrari?

    So you don't like to touch butterflies? What do you prefer? Worms? :-) Just kidding.

    Again, back on topic, if you don't like google, don't touch it. Even if you can liberate your data later.

    On the other hand (no pun intended), if you completely open your hands, the butterfly will simply fly away.

    As always, the solution lies in the middle: you should neither squeeze nor open your hands, but simply hold it gently :-P

    Coming back to the topic. Being possible do leave will make more people willing to get-in in the first place

    Which does not changes much what I said! :-)

    I just added both (OS X and Windows) in order to avoid the obligatory replies like "Oh, you forgot that the world is not UNIX and Linux"! ;-)

    I think both views are true and do not conflict with each other. Unix and Linux are today's reality. They are usable and robust, with many strong points and some weaknesses: the OSes for today's user (besides other options such as MacOS and Windows).

    Haiku is an attempt to improve today's options. At RC1, it is not something that the majority would use instead of Unix and Linux. Maybe in the future it will be. It shows some nice features that tries to improve over today's OSes but it is not as complete as the current ones.

    We will have to wait and see if Haiku will not simply create its own new and unique caveats

    So you are basically saying that if something already exists, we shouldn't create new things?

    I didn't get my point. It was a counterexample for parent's argument:

    Yes, but the popularity of something can absolutely be used as a measure of its utility.

    My take is: if its popular, is useful. It it's not popular, nothing can be said about its usefulness.

    BTW: I don't know if its "counterexample for parent's" or "counterexample to prent's". Sorry. English is not my first language

    Perl's syntax is not confusing for those who code. But when it comes to *read* code done in perl, then its syntax is an obfuscation masterpiece

  12. Re:ah yes, anti-perl tirades are refreshing on Coders At Work · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with the language itself and could equally be done in many other languages.

    But its not done in other languages, which makes Fortran the best option. You are thinking in a CS way. Physicists don't care about the language design. They are looking for the best tool for the job.

    For them, it is not important if the tool is good because of design, because some vendor made and extension or because there is a lot of code available. What matters is that it gets the job done
