  2. Damn Right!!! on PHP 5 Release Sparks Up PHP-GTK 2.0 · · Score: 1

    You know if you are going to point out a list, perhaps, just maybe, you should read the damn thing first.

    http://perl.apache.org/

    mod_perl gives you a persistent Perl interpreter embedded in your web server. This lets you avoid the overhead of starting an external interpreter and avoids the penalty of Perl start-up time, giving you super-fast dynamic content.

    As you'd expect from the Perl community, there are hundreds of modules written for mod_perl, everything from persistent database connections, to templating sytems, to complete XML content delivery systems. Web sites like Slashdot and Wired Magazine use mod_perl.

    mod_perl is an Apache Software Foundation project. It is licensed under the Apache Software License.

  3. Re:Question on Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act · · Score: 1

    Bills are not limited to any one subject. ANYTHING can be included in ANY bill, even if they are not related and have nothing to do with the name (how do you think so much pork gets passed with out people knowing before hand?)

    And it doesn't matter what they SAY on the floor, what matters is what is written in the Congressional Record, and what is written there isn't always what they say on the floor infront of the CSPAN cameras. You see when they say 'reserve the right to revise and extend' what that means is that they can come back, at a later date, an edit or even totally REPLACE what they said on the floor and BAM! history has been rewritten and the official record is not totally opposite of what they said on the floor.

    This is the same Ted Turner that, while saying oil and gas are evil is making a LOT of money off of them.

    " With the recent upturn in natural gas prices, Turner's holdings are worth billions. He recently signed an agreement to double the number of gas wells on the Vermejo to 1,060 wells and El Paso Corporation is paying him a 6.5 percent royalty."

    He thinks it is OK for HIM to have such things, but DAMN IT! us normal people shouldn't!
