Makes you want to fireball their little loinclothed asses.
Reminds me B&W review on one Russian gaming web site. Actually they had two reviews for this game. One for 'good god' game style and another for 'evil god' game style. First got quite low rating as it they found it just boring but second got nearly maximum rating.
It doesn't have to be a strict requirement. It just an additional filter which helps you to separate good programmers from bad.
You don't know how well it works, how well it integrates into the system...
It is not that hard to distinguish bad style from good. Bad code smells!!! You can see code duplication, usage of bad coding practices, etc.
On a related note, would you penalize the programmer for adhering to his/her company's standards for formatting code, because they don't conform to yours? I've had interviewers say they didn't like the way I formatted my code, despite the fact that it was required for the job I was currently doing.
I would not with one exception. There are so many formatting styles people use and while I have some personal preferences I know that formatting style is really minor thing as long as all participants of one project agree on one of them. The exception is absense of any formatting. I did rejected some candidates for not using indenting in their code at all.
You are doing very wrong assumption that there are still connection between acronym and language. PERL 1 and Perl 5 are very different languages.
On the other hand many things can be described as "Practical Extraction and Reporting". Like getting XML data from middle layer (extraction), converting it on the fly to HTML/Excel/CSV report using XLST stylesheets and serving result via mod_perl (reporting):) It is something I have implemented not very long time ago. Perl perfectly suited my needs.
MySQL does have one table handler based on BerkeleyDB. It was first table handler to support transactions.
But it is not the only table handler MySQL has and not even the only table handler with transactions support. Moreover it is not even the fastest table handler.
Hmm, I've heard a couple of times that JavaScript actually is quite good very OO language from some quite good programmers.
It's supposed to be object-oriented but there's no way to decalare class or methods.
I could be wrong as I'm not JavaScript programmer but AFAIK you can add methods to object. Yes, you cannot create classes because it doesn't have them! It is called prototype based OOP. You create object, add more methods to it and clone it to get a bunch of objects having simular type. If it doesn't sound like C++ or Java it doesn't mean it is bad.
You can switch but it will not help

As many languages have borrowed Perl regular expressions thay will borrow new Perl regexps at some point. It just the matter of time. You may try to switch from Perl to Python but at some point Python will have new Perl regular expressions for sure as it has now PRCE. New regexps are just too good!
I don't get why people whine about obvious improvment in regexp engine. First of all: there always p5 modifier to turn on compatibility mode. Moreover do not afraid of complexity of new regexps. You don't have to use all features! Simple things are still easy to do (and even easier). The best thing about new regexps is that they make previously impossible possible.

Well, Mason could be used to implement content managment system but it is no content managment system itself. What I have listed *are* content managment systems.
It does make some difference to some users. I recall reading one "Serious Sam: Second Edition" review where reviwer "complained" that he had to install ogg plugin for WinAmp to able to play soundtracks from game outside of "Serious Sam".
So I guess usage of Ogg may help popularity of this format between users. If many different products will start using Ogg this format may became really popular like mp3.
I don't think it is perfect example Linux catching up with Windows. After all Linux already has ReiserFS and Microsoft have just started development of their 'database' FS for Win32.
You may ask what common in ReiserFS and database. Well, just look at it its whitepaper. The word 'database' is everywhere in it. Hans Reiser started to think about it long time ago. And they already are working on it.
Are you sure that you were exploited via ssh? AFAIK to exploit this hole attacker must have opened ssh session. It means that only to exploit it attacker must know login/password on your box.
First of all don't take my words as offence. I don't want to say that C/C++ is bad. Still I think that most good scripting languages are much more easier to program in (with libraries or without them programs in scripting language are shorter anyway). After all good scripting languages are *designed* to be easier. You can have even garbage collection in C/C++ but still it fills very alien in it. However I know that some tasks are better to do in C/C++ (but definetly web development is wrong application for it).
Anyway my point was that *scripting* languages which resemble C/C++ are crap. There is no huge suite of debugging tools and superior performance for them and there is no string, memory, file, html, etc libraries which make C/C++ every bit as easy for them. I've been there. I've been forced to write in one such language. It is very annoying when you have to deal with memory managment in *scripting* language.
Mod parent up. It is amazing what language can invent C/C++ programmers who never seen other languages. I just don't get what are they thinking about. What the reason to create *scripting* language which is as hard as C/C++ to program in? As scripting language it cannot be as fast as C/C++ language. And as C/C++ like language it cannot be as high level as other lanugages like Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.
Have you tried using Konqueror using a window manager other than kwin? Really, have you done this?
For very long time I was using Konqueror from KDE 2.0 with blackbox. I've not seen any problems related to interaction of window manager and konqueror.
Primary reason why I will upgrade to next stable
release ASAP is konqueror. It is becomes better
and better with each release but it is not good
enought yet (that is there too many sites where
it still doesn't work correctly).
Going by package count is definitely NOT the way to compare FreeBSD and Debian.
Well, just some facts. Some software I use:
eudc (LDAP interface in emacs) - is in Debian but not in FreeBSD until I submited port
gnuserv (port of xemac's gnuserv) - is in Debian but not in FreeBSD until I submited port
gnus (recent version popular newsreader for emacs) - is in Debian but not in FreeBSD until I submited port
perl modules (I do a lot of Perl) - Debian have more than FreeBSD
As for FreeBSD's Linux compatibility mode: it is cool but you should understand than every big Linux application will require to install Linux versions of all libs. Also you are out of lack if you want to use Linux packages and have package managers to track their dependacies. At this point it becomes much more easier just compile from source.
Actually I think the only reason to use FreeBSD's Linux compatibility mode is closed source software for Linux.

Bugzilla is way far from being the best bug tracking software. For example just compare it featureset with RT.

Also I heard that BerkleyDB doesn't scale for big databases. I.e. for good perfomance it must fit in RAM.
It isn't true. See Intrusion Detection FAQ

If in doubt go and read article ...And Now for Something Completely Similar by Damian Conway.
BTW Bricolage is build using Mason.
If you use MySQL or PostgreSQL you can use Alzabo to synchronize database schemas.
AFAIK most linux ports on FreeBSD install linux libraries and software from RedHat's RPM. Including glibc.
So I guess usage of Ogg may help popularity of this format between users. If many different products will start using Ogg this format may became really popular like mp3.
I'm not sure if it is really good idea but anyway some people did tried to implement filesystem in Perl.

Still I don't understand why people insist on wasting their time writting web applications in C.
