He said, "You mean, like objectify the whole lot, so it's truly scalable and portable?" That means two things:
Expressed: That by using objects, something is truly scalable and portable. This is bullshit.
Implied: That in order to be truly scalable and portable, you must use objects. This, too, is bullshit.
I am not biased against objects. Most of my more widely used projects have OO interfaces. I am biased against useless use of objects (see the original File::Spec interface), and I am biased against saying that the only way to achieve scalability/portability/whatever is with objects.
Extrans does work as it is supposed to: it translates < and > to HTML entities so they show up as we literal characters, not as HTML tags, so I don't have to type < and > each time.
PRE is disallowed because it is too easy for people to totally screw up a page's formatting. Sorry.
No problem. Re-reading my reply to you, I sounded a bit harsher than I wanted or needed to be (end of a long week and all that:). I just wanted to be very clear that there is no expressed or implied condition in Slash as to the purpose of the sites that use Slash.
>objects have everything to do with scalibility and portability.
Um, no. Objects are a tool that can be used for lots of things, and one of those things is ease in scalability, and one of the applications of objects can be ease in portability, I suppose. But there are many other ways to do the same thing. There is no direct link between scalability and objects, or portability and objects.
Yeah, that's basically true. 1.0.0 has all outstanding, known major bugs taken care of, after a couple of months of the public hammering on it. Installation is not too hard but needs improvement, code had a LOT of cleaning but is now going to be reorganized, and other stuff. 1.0.0 means that this phase of work is done, aside from maintenance. Now we move on to more cool stuff.
You did not see that on Slashcode. This is simply false. Use it to make an anti-Slashdot site. Who cares?
Maybe you saw that I wrote that I don't want advocacy for alternatives to Slash posted on the Slashcode site, but that had nothing to do with Slashdot or with the code itself. That was just because Slashcode is a site about developing and helping with Slash, not about advocacy or general discussion.
Matt, yeah, I know of your module, and we are looking into doing something very similar to this. We may even use your module, but we need to get deeper into evaluating all our options before we decide the specifics, of course.:-) Thanks,
We are not going to be developing a Palm app for Slashdot, but for Slash. It will be usable with Slashdot, of course. The developer of this is plenty free to help our development, though.
If you think the Slash code sucks, you have not looked at recently, and don't know what you are talking about. It could stand for a lot of improvements, which we are busy making. But it is far from sucktitude.
If you think Perl is slow, you are a stupid troll. Go away.
If you think SquishZopePHPYourMamaSlash is better than Slash, then by all means, use it and shut up about it.
If you have patches or want to otherwise participate in developing Slash, make sure you post it on the Slashcode site (or better yet, please read the FAQ about how to help, because if you don't, we might not see your contributions or patches or suggestions.
This has been a public service announcement. You can go back to your hot grits now.
For 3.5 years I worked full-time from Massachusetts for a company in New Jersey. Now I telecommute part time (work full-time) for a company in Massachusetts (the one that happens to own this site:). It can work -- it does for me -- but it depends on the people (employee and boss and coworkers).
I loved the recent X-Files episode where the girl was "abducted" and the father had been watching TV and Mulder asked him what he was watching (it was Harsh Realm) and the father replied, "I don't know, I had never heard of it before. It was good."
I find it ironic that in your quest to make fun of people with low brain activity, you spelled four of seven names wrong, and didn't get the last name of a fifth and sixth. Hey, but you got the name of the former Vice President right, so that's something.:)
You think you're so smart, you call "Unix" as the incorrect "UNIX". And "Unix" is not a copyrighted name. Names cannot BE copyrighted. They can be registered marks or service marks or trademarks. And you never criticized Slashdot for not using the trademark symbol after names like Apple and Microsoft.
In other words, please to be having clueski in the future.
Impartiality is a myth anyway. And what appearance of impropriety is there?
And how could you possibly guarantee there will be no articles bashing VA? (Answer: you can't!) If VA does something worthy of being bashed, Slashdot will CERTAINLY make note of it.
Slashdot Mirror
That feature, like many others, can be turned on or off with a boolean flag. So Slashdot, even running 1.0.x, may or may not have that feature.
Then you don't think very well on this matter.

That wasn't the part that is libelous.
That sounds like a good question to ask on the Slash site instead of this one.

You can't fix it anyway; we don't accept anonymous patches there, sport.

Fix it or shut up. How about that, tough guy?
What the heck do objects have to do with scalability or portability?
If you are going to libel someone, have the guts to use your real name, loser.

I don't think this plan could possibly be successful. I think good use of $100 million for education would be scholarships for poor kids.
I miss that show.
