    No, no! RMS will tell you it is GNU/Unix.
    Wait... GNU/Unix=GNU is Not Unix/Unix=(GNU is not Unix) is not Unix/Unix... Stack Overflow/Divide Error... my... head... hurts...

  3. Re:What other motivation do we need? on Van Allen Questions Human Spaceflight · · Score: 1

    Viable is far, far away from desirable. I doubt very much that our 40.000 years ago ancestors had the same concept of adventure that our world of comfort has.

    "The only motivation that got us off our asses and away from our idylic hunter-gatherer lifestyle on the plains of Africa was our desire to see what was over the next hill"

    More plausible explanation would be starving, escaping a glacier or some other first class need. IMHO it seems that "idylic hunter-gatherer lifestyle" isn't that idylic.

    The sarin gas they used isn't an alive, self replicating, evoluting organism, isn't it? Imagine the possibilities. Like '28 days later'.

  15. Re:Maybe not news, but it's topical.... on Synthetic Biology May Spawn Biohackers · · Score: 1

    Why not? Not as we do it know but I can see in a few years some chemical kit that you can connect to your computer and some kind off high level language or graphical tool to instruct it. The key problem is understanding how DNA works. I imagine it's at machine code level and that we will be able to define abstract constructs to simplify it's understanding. Then you only need to enhance the manipulation technology and you get a Home DNA Maker Kit for Kids 12+.

  16. Is this news? on Synthetic Biology May Spawn Biohackers · · Score: 1

    I realized this by myself at least 10 years ago thinking about computer virus and genetic advances. I don't remember now but there must be much older examples in SCIFI. I remember a Star Trek NG episode where a cure for a cold accidentally mutated the entire crew.

    Right. They wouldn't try to charge for something they didn't, wouldn't them? So they surelly did it. Just logic.

    A little trolling of my part ;-) I know... but he started: "PHP forces you to use scalable mechanisms for state management (in contrast to, say, Java)". This is just flaming.

    Seriously: there is a very good argument around here in this post.

    How hard would be a PHP in Java? The language doesn't seems so complicated.

  21. Re:What's Really Going On Here... on On PHP and Scaling · · Score: 1

    I never say that's a PHP error. What I'm saying is that any DB error should not bomb in the face of the user like that, be that you program in ASP/PHP/JSP/Perl or whatever. That's bad style.
    My original post says that if one don't catch DB errors they explode more or less the same in any language.

  22. Re:Author seems to live in a vacuum on On PHP and Scaling · · Score: 1

    Well, PHP generally requires much less code than Java to get the same task done, so that's another advantage for PHP.
    Nice troll. How many lines of code takes multithreading in PHP? No luck here. How many lines to run in a smartcard? Nop. A Python interpreter in PHP? Niet.
    Use the right tool for the problem.

    Middle Land is close to me. Every people believes they are the center of the universe and/or the choosen people and the others are strange barbarians.

    I just found 15000 hits in Google of "MySQL Connection Failed: Unknown MySQL". Many of those are down sites. Perhaps you are doing what they should do: catch errors.
