Perl6 for Mortals

I think the reason why people don't like progress/evolution is that they are used to the old things and don't want to learn something new. It was hard enough to get used to the old Perl syntax which is allready strange enough...
I fully believe in the KISS philosophy (Keep It Simple, Stupid), and that gratuitous functionality just adds bloat to something that's supposed to be simple.
Some programmer simply don't want it simple, anyways we still forgot that these programmers simply want some excercise (I remember a young Finnish one who started a OS to get into the 386's internas).
why?
cuz some student or programmer need a project to work at, some exercise. You sound like some M$ guy asking: "Why would someone install anything but Windows?"
uhh there's a really major difference between Google's and Altavista's success and later's fall.
Altavista was successful cuz they were one of the first search engines. The fall of Altavista began when they wanted to be more than just a search site while most user only wanted a simple and clean search engine. That's why I (and most other) love Google. No news, no content, only few images and no popups/banner. Google found other ways to make money (selling their eninge and selling top places for certain keywords) and now they only fouond a new one.
It's not evil to make money, except you printing it yourself;-)
How about selling karma? Might push slashdot's revenue into spheres which even NASA will never reach.
I'm still haning around at -1 and feel treated unfair:-(
1) someone else talks for you
2) he also decides for you
3) you're fearing invisible enemies
4) security stands before freedom
5) you've accepted censorship
In our days the elder became those people they once fighted. After decades of personal freedom which began in the late 60s we are facing a world full of rules and regulations.
Don't let Twain's words become truth (again)
It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either.

Neither government nor corporates are the right lobby, the streets are the right place to go and to speak out your opinion like they did in the 60s/70s.
In a few years I'm to sure that these times will be back again.
It's time for Revolution
believe me, Europe is just a few years behind America. The next Burger King is just a few kilometers away and StarBucks is opening a shop in every major city.
If state really would be controlled by government then they won't do so much bullshit. State doesn't care much about it's citizens but corporates care a lot about their shareholder
sure there are many site which won't load or even freeze your mozilla (I even did a little shell-script to kill it faster) but that's mostly the webmasters fault who aren't able to write good code. Being a wedcoder myself I learned a lot by using moz and making my sites compliant.
BTW: Did you test mozilla 0.9.5 with it's tabbed view? that's really cool I must say
You forgot that someone need to install them, and also some servers would be fine. And don't forget that there are some new lessons for the users are necessary
The same here in Germany, you even get some problems if you don't carry your ID card with you. Even the children get one, although that's a special one.
Oh and the most funny advantage is that you have yet another funny picture of you;-)

ok, that would be cool but I'd prefer Linux to stay a hacker-OS, it wouldn't be fun anymore if every normal/dumb user could do the same thing as I do. Not mentioning more stupid questions at mailing lists and IRC...
wasn't M$ used to have Internet Exploder and Office working for Macs? What if the migrate it to OS X and after OS X being Unix-like one day we might see Office running on Liux Desktops (without wine and such).
OK, that's just a hypotetical thought and I'm not up-to-date concerning M$-software on Macs but I feel FEAR...
I've started a little open source project/page some months ago but due a good/warm summer and school wich just started I hadn't time to write more code for it. It's kinda SourceForge and Freshmeat but not only for computer related projects.
Doing a project on your own and in my case very alone is very hard, no one who makes you keep coding.

I just added msn.com to my "Don't Get" list in WWWOffle, there are only microsoft.com and a few banner sites on it.

You remember an OS named Freakz? It's called Linux now ;-)
Seems like everyone finds a better name for his project quite fast

watch out for Godzilla and UFOs...
XEmacs has also WYSIWYG capatibilities in html/sgml-mode... but I still love it :-)
no more "Unix Wars"?
no more "Editor Wars?"no more "windowmanager Wars"?
aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I think you mean the "first post" and "Look my new PC" dudes, I'm very happy with /.'s moderator system.
