Actually your the one who is lacking intelligence. Dupont, the patent holders on Freon started the incredible shit storm surrounding it just as there patent was about to expire. If they had let it simply expire, any company would have been able to manufacture it, introducing competition which would have hurt Duponts monopoly.
So what does dupont do? Simple, tell everyone that Freon will destroy the world, get it banned and introduce a replacement. Voila, they have a safe monopoly again.
Actually, PHP currently supports the =& thing. It works great. Also, PHP doesn't copy the variable when you first pass it, only when you change it.
For example, $bar = 5; $foo = $bar;// both foo and bar point to the value "5" in memory. $foo = $bar + 1;// bar still points to "5", but foo now points to a new value in memory "6"
However, with $bar = 5; $foo =& $bar;
foo and bar always point to the same value in memory
There are plenty of ways to debug PHP. I have never had a problem finding out where the problem is happening.
Out of all the languages I have used for web based developement (PHP, PERL, VB *shudder* and JSP) PHP has been the quickest to develop and easiest to maintain. Also, given proper coding techniques and server configuration, the fastest performer of the group.
These were not just small projects either, my current job has huge projects we are doing in PHP.
I am not meaning to flame but you can't judge PEAR by its webpage. Most of the PEAR extensions have not yet been documented and put in the pear manual. You can browse them in CVS http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/pear and most have good commenting in them. Also the members of the PEAR-DEV and PEAR-GENERAL lists are very helpful when someone has a question.
While currently the main use of PEAR is the DB class, PEAR will become more and more used as the documentation is improved and developers discover its wonders....
A co worker of mine used to work at CCBill and confirms that they have shitty ass code. Problem is management won't spring for decent hardware/software so they have to kludge together scripts to make them run.
Paypal seems to work well (although I have never implemented it on a site) which is probably why they are using it.
I believe he was referring to the "Business Software Association" rather then the Boy Scouts of America... Though I do agree that there is something disturbing about the boyscouts. Men taking young boys out into the middle of the woods doesn't sound right to me.
MySQL is perfect for small projects and it can handle large projects as well (My company uses it for a very large project) but it does have its limitations. I SOOOOO want to have sub selects... And store procedures would be nice as well (Then I can just tell the DBA what I need and it is his responsability to get it to me).
Oracle and DB2 are needed sometimes, but people who say MySQL is not a real database are either Oracle Admins or Oracle sales guys...
Last time I had to worry about a meal was when I lost my job in a city 1500 miles from everyone I knew and I have no money. That was about 1 year and a half ago.
When did you last worry about where your next meal was coming from?
That would be a situation where it was totally beyond her control and welfare is in place for that.
I guess my first comment came across way to harsh. I understand exactly what I think but have trouble putting it into words (I am a coder not a writer). Some people (Like your friends mom) deserve welfare and more help then she got. Unfortunately the majority of the people on welfare (from my personal experiences, I could be wrong) are the people who could have had much better if they would have applied themselves instead of thinking the government owed them something.
Gratz to your friends mom for working so hard but still shame on the majority who could do better but choose to be leaches.
I know that came off as rather harsh but I believe it to be true. Sure some people get dealt a really bad hand by life. Sure things happen that are not in our control. Through all that though, you do make your own path in life.
I didn't have the best in life but I worked hard and made the most of what I had. I am quite happy with how I am doing.
On the other hand, I have a cousin who is much smarter then me. He had a full scholarship to some college to get a degree in Physics. He works at McDonalds now. Why? Because he didn't feel like working hard in school.
I know people who weren't the brightest, heck I will say below average intelligence who applied themselves to there jobs and make a decent living.
Its NOT about education or surrounding. It is about work ethic and determination.
I must say that there are exceptions but I believe this to be true the majority of the time.
People are poor because they don't apply themselves. Sure not everyone can be a millionare. I know I'm not but I work my ass off and make a decent living. Unless you are mentally retarded you should be able to support yourself with hard work, not federal handouts.
I don't know if this project is justified, but think of all the benifits it could have. Maybe find a way to cheaper energy, solve some medical problems or many other things beyond what we can imagine.
No one knows what it will do for sure, but giving 5 billion to lazy people isn't going to make life any better.
I (being the lazy bastard that I am) didn't want to bother with setting up a PC as a firewall so I simply bought on of the little 4-port linksys routers. After rebates it turned out to be about $100. I have had no problems with it and it handles everything I need it to do fine (DHCP, Port Forwards, etc).
Is when someone complain to load my boot into there ass.
In the spirit of dual-booting I generally alternate between my left and right boot though by default the right boot is used.
Some days I am feeling like microsoft so I put both feet into one boot and kick people that way. Sure it is inconvienant, but everyone is doing it so why shouldn't I?

So just curious, what language are you doing to?

I already get IM porn spam. Over the holiday weekend (friday-tuesday) I recieved 32 porn related instant messages on ICQ.
BLEH
it sucks
Bioinformatics is a very good field to get into. The company I work for is great and I make good money while enjoying the job.

Every time I use passport it gives me tons of problems. I have nothing againsts MS, just when they make shitty services
