Halloween Fun

Except of course during the last election, where the result was decided based on the masks that were used by the members of the florida supreme court.
Strange really, you would think that Gore would have had the edge if it was based on Halloween.
Anyway, I think this year Kerry is a dead (no pun intended) cert, due to his striking resembelance to Frankenstien's monster.

Seems fairly sensible to me!

Learning PHP 5

I just want to apply a virtual +1 to this post.
There is a very subtle line in the sand where PHP becomes 'underkill' and you need to consider moving to a more rounded technology like J2EE or (*spit*).Net. Experience is knowing where this line is (or better still knowing that the product being developed will cross it in X amount of time).
There are far too many people using J2EE and.Net style techs for things where PHP would be (and would remain indefinately) the much better choice.
Also, the other way around, but this seems much rarer...
...try looking at the lifestyles of the senior members of parliment or their cousins that run private ambulance firms for public hospitals based on the government stamped blank cheque and you will have your answer.
You may wish to research Branson's early business history. He began with a telephone order music service that was (at the time) very innovative.
It seems that the smart thing to do in business, is to come up with a innovative product, make enough money to get your head above the water and from that point just lock-step.
Well, when I think about it, $100'000 is not what I would call an obscene amount. You certainly wouldnt need a billion 'laying around'.
Sure, it is prohibitive to most, but I suspect that people who have childhood dreams of going into space, might manage to stump up the cash.
Raid the savings, remorgage the house, junior gets downgraded to clown college, and perhaps a little sponsership...
It wont exactly be star wars, especially in the early days but I am pretty sure there are some regular(ish) joes out there who would give it all for the potential to be remembered as a 'space pioneer'.
Infact I have a sneaking impression that the real prohibitive factor will not be the price, but the waiting list!
Slashdot Mirror
I am prepared to send two of my ex's to the north and south poles respectively.
But how will you type your slashdot posts with no hands?

I LIKE the delay when I have to reboot. It gives me time to have a pee, stretch my legs, have a drink...
Then I suggest you stay away from windows, you will end up as a dehydrated, 12 foot alcholic!
Features
enormous potential to hatch a new class of applications that live on the desktop but do business on the Web.
.com era speak to me.
This sounds a lot like late 90's,
I am using firefox to type up this comment, and yes it is a great browser, but it's not going to change the way the world does business.
Nearly every business application that has been developed for the last 10 years does business on the web.
I hereby petition for a change to this article text so that it reads 'do business in a tab'. Now that's innovation!

'Imagine' and 'Beowulf'
I think you underestimate the average joe!
After all, it seems that most of them have no problem installing p2p tools (for example).
I claim dibs on this joke for the next star wars story!
I find that notion terribly google, but who am I to google!
At least an 8-hour poker and blackjack session is a good way to keep the kids from viewing hardcore pornography or reading slashdot.
...perhaps you could implant the RFID tags on customers as then come through the door.
Great!! So all the cool hacking goes of to india and us western programmers get the sucky work!
I am claiming asylum in india based on the fact that every nerd has the right to hack code and eat curry!
Sadly, programmers are particulally endangered due to their inability to mate in captivity.... or anywhere else!
Note to Oakley marketing:
If they did this, with customization, I would definatly buy a pair!
You are a hetrosexual male with an internet connection. You really think your wife needs to use google technology to work that out?!?
My point is that as long as we keep the clones somewhat small - say less than 1024 cells
Sure, they will be marketed as kilocells but when the marketing folks get their grubby hands on them we will only get 1000!!

[i]When the cubs win the world series[/i]
That is due to happen in 2015, clearly documented in back to the future part 2.
I suspect that the other teams would continue for the finicial benefits.
Im pretty sure the $10Mil prize did little to cover the full development costs of spaceship one. The real money is in the IP.
How exclusive are these Branson plans?
IMHO we dont need any further 'prizes' to ignite this competition, the fires are burning brightly already.
Perhaps a major prize for major milestones, first orbit, the moon....
Personally I would give the designers a little more time...
:oP
Perhaps the first step should be a petition to make spaceflight an olympic sport.
