That's fair enough. I was going to ask why the book was not rewritten to use less space so as to fit in extra stuff about Mason but you might reasonably tell me to go to hell.;-) Enjoyed flicking through the sample chapter on the Web, it's a nicely written book.
It would have been nice if they could have found room to cover HTML::Mason as well as Template Toolkit and AxKit. Mason is a very popular module for templating and devloping web applications. I know they can only have room for so much but at 900 pages it's not like they were not shy of a big book.
Give it a bit more time. The motherboards can still be tweaked to get more performance out of the system. I think we should wait a bit before really making decisions, and get in a whole load more real world testing too. Benchmarks are not always entirely, although often can be, illuminating.
As I see it, it is a handy reference. Not telling anyone anything new or exciting, or even giving information that can't be printed out from the Web. But it's a handy condensing of things that an HTTP-interfacing developer might need to know. I think you're right that few people will need to know all of it.
Frank Whittle was German? Ho ho ho. Television was firstly achieved by Logie Baird. Superior systems obviously overtook his pretty quickly but he was first with it. Thomas Edison was definitely not British, you're right.
Rowers have been racing and training on the Thames upstream of Putney for centuries. It's not a busy stretch of river and most craft are very sensible.
Many rivers in the UK have speed limits far lower than the 30mph top speed of this vehicle to stop bank erosion, and why do they insist in the article that the Thames is underused? There are lots of boats on the Thames already - often rowers in lightweight crew boats that swamp easily. They can do without tidal waves being generated.
The diversity in the UK economy is no different to the diversity found elsehwere in Euroland though. Compare the affluence of Surrey to some inner city sink estates.
You can do this stuff with Debian apt too. Dependencies handled, descriptions given etc. The thing is that it handles the non-Perl software you need for some modules, which is very very handy. CPAN *is* nice and it is a great solution. I think this method has its own benefits though.
MS is going to innovate in adding propietary extensions when and where they can. Get ready for IE7 to introduce amazing technologies for people to use that will just happen to need a Windows server at the other end. This has been tried already but now they're clearly in a position to start levaraging this with the browser wars well and truly over.
Slashdot Mirror
Cool, how did you find out?
Have you considered ringing national news networks? This is rather important and they'd probably be interested.
How worrying!
And to think I thought Slashdot was just edited buy illiterates?

I have already read that - I was commenting on choice of systems to introduce readers to.

That's a fair point.

The Thames upstream of Putney is not the river equivalent of the M1.

Be thankful you're not shoved out in a scull. :-)
That is, not as busy as a busy road....

Not true - try Putney embankment.

Why not add this to the already-open source Open Office?
Don't bring the UK into this - it has a very wide spread of wealth from poor to rich.

Maybe someone got confused between the single currency and single country idea?

The best thing was staying up all night to see just how ill you could make him get....
Thank you for your kind backup on this point. I'm not happy about it but it does seem very likely.
;-)
I just wish I had hit 'preview' and not left my post full of spelling errors.

Is that ex-KKK recruiter Byrd?
Since when has ringing someone added to their own phone bill?
