Cocaine on the other hand, is not physiologically addicting. You'll miss and crave the hit it gives you, but you have to go through the sweats and shakes. You might start using it again, you might even take to crime to do it, but you'll do it through conscious choice.
That's not true. Cocaine addiction is similar to nicotine addiction. See here and here. Also www.cocaine.org is a good overview.
In that respect, EverQuest's nickname of EverCrack is quite appropriate. You'll miss playing it. You'll miss the good feelings and memories that you associate with playing it. But you should be able to come off it quickly, and with no harmful effects in the short or long term, if you want to.
The psychological withdrawal from an online RPG is pretty powerful, having experienced it myself. And playing is not always fun, it's often very repetitive and boring to be gaining XP and stuff but people do it anyway.
A reflective surface radiates far less heat than a non-reflective surface - basically speaking, it radiates at the same rate that it absorbs.
OK. I don't get this. Take a coil, stick in a black-dyed package, measure the heat output. Take the same coil, stick it in a white-dyed package and measure the heat output. What exactly will be the difference? Does color even have any effect on heat that is not in light form? (And if I remember physics 101, heat in this case is just faster moving atoms.)
This "class act employer" is responsible for a good chunk of Internet spam. Elcomsoft makes Advanced Direct Remailer, Advanced Email Extractor and a whole bunch of spam tools. Elcomsoft's web site had been in the MAPS RBL. They still keep selling their spam tools. These guys are crooks and should be put out of business. It just a coincidence that they are appearing in a freedom of speech litigation.
In other news, Richard Stallman and Larry Wall, idealized by many "hackers" were found to be behind the notorius spammer tools grep, awk and Perl.
They have been properly dealt with by a military tribunal and operations to destroy these tools from the internet are in progress.
You can easily add/redefine methods in a class. Since a class is a package, say Foo::Bar, with a method "someMethod", you can have some code that does this:
no strict 'refs'; # we're gonna use symbolic refs here...
*{Foo::Bar::someMethod} = sub {
# do something else here instead....
};
Packages can also have a special "AUTOLOAD" method that gets called on method names that aren't define. This special method can then do something like create a new method on the fly, attach it to the package for faster use later and call it..
People have used this to make things like a shell module, eg.:
my $shell = new Shell("/bin/sh");
$shell->ls("-1", "/somewhere");

Yes, you will eventually come to learn and love regular expressions. Even Microsoft is introducing them into VB/VBScript and Dev Studio (though I don't know much about those) -- this is when they noticed people were becoming very happy using ActiveState ASP/Perl instead of vbscript:)
Once you learn regular expressions, you aren't limited to just Perl. Suddenly you can do things in vi or emacs, or shell scripts/one-liners with grep/sed/awk (yes, you still use those even when you know Perl!) that you never imagined were possible...
And you can comment and break out regular expressions in Perl, for example:
/^(\w+) # put word at beginning of line in $1
\s*--\s* # if followed by --, etc... /x
see the 'x' modifier in man perlre.

That conveniently ignores the fact that the county sheriff usually knew exactly who the members of the lynch mob were, and his deputies were often part of the mob. So if an imbalance of power exists, having that information would probably only make it worse for those at the wrong end of the see-saw.
</blockquote>
Of course the sheriff knew, but his job was not upholding moral righteousness, merely responding to things the community wanted him to respond to or would complain about.
If KKK members had their driver's license printed on their t-shirts, the sheriff can no longer claim ignorance, and would be forced to follow up reports or be accused of corruption during the next election.
I was thinking, if properly designed a trinary processor's VM instructions could designate parts of memory, both code and data, with a "binary" bit. This would have the processor emulate binary in microcode much more efficiently than a compiler/emulator would.
Of course, using an expensive trinary computer and running everything binary on it, it wouldn't seem to make much sense, but this is the same as Intel's Itanium/AMD's Sledgehammer project.
And it makes sense too, MS could very quickly get a version of WinWhatever out (just rewrite some critical sections in trinary). A linux distro would recompile everything by default in binary except those package whose autoconf recognizes a trinary system.
Of course, non of this may ever happen, or it might happen in 5,10,25 years *shrug*.

I don't know what you mean, but you probably haven't tried Debian. Package management is very fine grained, when you install a package a menu entry gets added to every installed window manager for example.

You don't get it. When your servers are susceptible to DoS attacks you need a fix NOW not months from now. This has nothing to do with being lazy, it has everything to do with people like linus staying up to make sure YOUR isp does not get hacked into.

You simply don't know Perl well enough. Your last example will not even compile. Here's how to print a reference to an array of hashes:
my $i = 0;
for my $el (@$list) {
for my $key (keys %$el) {
print $i++, ": $key is $el->{$key}\n";
}
}
Now, what's so hard about that?
