well most PHP is a web app, and web app tend toward feature creap more than other apps so usualy PHP tends to either be poorly designed or headed that way.
offtopic but my boss just got off the phone with his hummer dealership, they wanted to know if he wanted to trade in his H2 for a H2H! I haven't found an official announcement yet; but I guess that hydrogen powered vehicles are a done deal now. I'm not suprised Bush and his cronies weren't about to let 6-pack joe brew too much bio-diesel in his garage and cut them out of some profits and taxes.
If you don't like the way Congress and the Christian Fundimentalist Bush administration budget and spend our tax money; there are ways to "cut out the middle-men" and send a check directly. I'm not sure if it's a tax credit, just a deduction or even how much of your total tax bill can qualify; so ask your tax advisor. Something else I'm not sure about is how fine grained the donation can be as in to NASA in total, or where you could earmark the money for a pet project like the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM).
Anybody with more information feel free to chime in.
Hold on there cowboy, this facts are in the Bible thing could be very dangerous too; might lead the flock to actualy read the book. I've tried to read the book a couple of times my self, couldn't do, I've never got past the second page, just too many logical inconsistancies. What would happen if all them southern baptists started losing their religon because of it; now consider a million people who's moral and ethical frameworks defined by an external entity that they've just lost belief in!
I think you've been living under a rock for the last 30 years, that's been a conservative complaint for as long as I can remember. The real secret isn't getting people appointed to the flashy policy level positions, it's getting your people into the midlevels implimentation levels that really counts. Don't worry about Deutsch, he's just a lightning rod that just got hit, worry about what the lightning rod is protecting. Bush isn't that stupid, letting people believe he's that stupid has served him very well for a long time.
The first time I saw that commercial, I felt insulted; then I chuckled at my imagined reaction of microsoft and dell. The perceved insult that all those computers I built over the years were boring seemed a bit personal for me.
An Icelandic official said the Canadian attack had caused extensive punctures but failed to release the helium gas from the balloon.
"With something like this, which is stationary in the air when the CF-18s are flying very, very fast, it is difficult to shoot it," Lieutenant Colonel Steve Wills of the Canadian Air Force .
This is an instance of where Hi-tech weapons are ineffective against a lo-tech target; If the pilots could have pointed a sawed-off 12 gage shotgun out the window of a light plane, the ballon would have been toast. I've seen some embarassed fighrer jock pilots after somebody in a P51 played tag with them.
Date of invention is an inducement to fraud because it is easy for Big Corp to fake or modify documents, Proof of the date of conception, is a bit more difficult to establish than your giving it credit for. Firstly there are cronological journalized lab books, both hand written and computerized which alows times stamping, if I have what I think is a good Idea, I can type it up on the computer, do a md5sum on the file and publish the checksum in a news paper and save it. This is almost, perfectly unforgable. Frequntly people send copies to them selves via the post office giving them a dated postmark on the envelope that can be opened in court; traditional but not as good. I just don't think that a patent should be awarded to the person that wins a race to the lawyers office.
I've often wondered what would happen if not only were a working prototype required, but the source code to produce the working prototype should be placed in the public domain. My hunch is it would pretty well squelch most software patents.
My stepson is a "PS or Bust" type so finaly I set him down with some images a copy Of Gimp and PS Elements. I told him to do some trivial manipulations in PSE, then I did the same in Gimp much faster using the keyboard shortcuts. It was on then, he finaly gave up when I proved to him not only could I do anything faster in Gimp than He could in PSE, but that I could do anything he could faster in PSE too, because I knew the keyboard shortcuts. Perhaps the "bad" user interface in Gimp is an advatage.
I'm not sure about the state of CMYK in Gimp, but I'm surprised that Gimp is stuck in 8 bit color considering cinepaint forked from Gimp and does 32 bit color in real professional formats from kodak and pixar
AH HAH, Thank you microsoft for such a user-friendly desktop experience, now I'll just tell Gramma that her comet-coursor doesn't run properly because she needs to learn to edit registry key!
The 4 cylinder offenhauser is just mind-numbingly macho at 500 RPM, if you don't understand the difference, you probably never will. Maybe it's because i grew up listening to race cars with these engines screaming arround the track at indy.
California and free market are an oxymoron, at least as far as public utilities are concerned. Californians are very eco-conscience but aren't very good at prioritising ecological concerns; so any project is stalled over trivialities. My state is probably 2nd or 3rd in this thinking as well. It's easy for people to say we need this but not in my backyard.
That was done quite a bit before the big regonal electric grids were developed. Our Detroit Edison Marysville MI plant used to sell wet steam to either Diamond Crystal or Morton salt; the salt plant is gone now but the pipes are still there.
When one energy source becomes increasingly scarce, it will become more expensive. Seems increasingly the we are moving toward multiple enegery sources, and that the drive isn't driven purely by economic factor. The other week I was talking with one of our patients that works for Damiler-Chyrsler tech center at Auburn-Hills, in the enviromental division. He went about as far as is possible to say we're working on a hydrogen powered car as he could without actualy saying it. I've heard from other sources that GM cars and trucks since 2002 had hydrogen compatable engines, all that is neede is to install a H2 tank, change some fuel lines, put a new chip in the 'puter and bolt on a turbocharger. There are too many alternative technologies that are almost at break-even right now, even Bush was talking about them in the State of the Union. All we need now is some advertising durring the soap-operas, a bit on M-TV and cartoon network and we off. Sooner or later we're going to see 5th graders fighting about who's dad is cooler, the one driving a hydrogen-electric hybrid, or the one growing his own bio-diesel
The thing is how do you know some operator on the magline hasn't turned down the sensitivity on the magnetometers to cut down the positives, and physical searches impeading traffic? If everything is networked a setting adjustment would alert a second or third line supervisor. I worked the Atlanta Olympics in '96 and the security man on the street is pretty overwelmed by the details, so some people are required to pay attention to the "big picture" and the more organised data they get, the better. The Security one the street is just working the machine and soon forgets that it networked.
Of course once the stupid one is caught then the NSA goes over his phone logs with a fine tooth comb and starts to social-network the smart ones that told him "quit calling me, you moron" 3 years ago.

IANAL, but that doesn't strike me as open; viewable source and open source are two seperate things! This one seems to lack the ability to modify the source.
I didn't intend to make it sound like a scientist's welfare program, but they do grant taxpayer supplied money out of their research budget with less expectation of immediate ROI than a corporate R&D budget could. Also I didn't intend to make it sound like all of the grants are for basic research projects.
Some taxpayer's might argue that the IRS's ability to lighten our pocketbooks per congress's idea of what our fair share is isn't exactly giving either.
If the lawyer gets the summary judgement, he's saved his client a ton of money, and the work he already done is more profitable for him then what he'd get standing arround in a court facing a bunch of corporate lawyers. If he doesn't get the summary judgement, discovery could be very interesting.
In medieval times there was no refrigeration so a cow that produced 50X more milk or with an extra 500Kg of meat meant either a village feast then famine or a lot of waste. The RIAA will never admit they made a mistake, at best they'll say she is a victim of some nefarious file-sharing pirate who stole her identity and that they'll continue to investigate to protect us all.

Maybe just painting the roof tops and asphalt roads white would stop global warming.
No way what you want is a 4 cylinder offenhauser breathing through 3 inch headers and twin glass-pack mufflers, idling at 500 RPM
