What's wrong with a breathalyzer test followed by a blood test if said breathalyzer test was positive?
Making people take a test they could fail because they feel intimidated, are nervous, or indeed drunk as one of the options? I don't get it... I really don't - must be some other crazy motive there...
Yeah, this worked wonders with spam too, yes? I guess that's why the mail server I run at work blocks on average 75% of all connections based on the spamhaus lists...
And then came the harassment stories - an early discussion was about an 10 year old girl playing UO, she was herding sheep and making clothing. Out comes a few PKers, kill her, loot the stuff and walk away. She comes back, is all angry and asks why they would do such a thing. The Pkers responded with insults via sexual remarks and then proceed to kill her again. Sounds pretty typical of what the average preteen boy would do, but still - bad karma that goes unpunished. UO was a harsh place.
So why is a 10 year old playing an MMO? Bloody awful parenting...
If you're mostly comparing frameworks anyway (CakePHP and RoR are frameworks, PHP5 is a language) just substitute symfony for PHP5, and the answer becomes clear: use symfony... The best of PHP5 with the best practices of RoR - just make sure to use an opcode cache because symfony is not the most light-weight.
Scalable, and loads of fun to program with.

Sure, I can find myself in most thing you say.
However, a 10+ or so day uptime on Windows is obviously out of the question - if you want a stable system, that is. Hence, my assertion that the replyer was lying.

You are also obviously lying.:) Thanks for playing and have a nice day.
(Hint: it's the uptime statement that got you - it's just not possible on Window for a variety of reasons I will not take the time to explain to a troll such as yourself. And anyway, what in hell's name is a 6-sigma level uptime? Oh, right, it's what Windows fanboys use when they know they've lost already... You, sir, are a waste of everyone's time. Please stop breathing, others can use the air for better purposes.)

As for the point about being "one with the traffic," that's silly too. Most people have no idea how to operate that thing they somehow received a license to legally use. No way I'm waiting for them to figure out which pedal is which when there is no need to be stopped in the first place.
Yeah, I can't say I disagree with you. It's the realistic viewpoint. My post above is nearer to a Utopian viewpoint, I guess. If only more people would keep the "Zen of Driving" in mind though, it would already help.
As for your point about the SUV... If you would come to a sudden standstill, chances are you will at least touch your brakes. In modern cars, if you hit them hard enough, even your emergency indication lights go on automatically. Putting people on the same road as you in danger _knowingly_ is beyond words...
Also, when you assume (as I do) that it is irresponsible or even outright dangerous to go too much below the speed limit, the "Zen of Driving" as someone else called it, can actually work.
Driving below the speed limit... Usually older or scared people... Make them take the test again? Might be they don't pass, and thus should not be on the road again. If they do pass, their confidence gets a boost...
The SUV driver should have at least touched the break to clue in those behind. That he didn't is deserving of having his driver's license taken away. This has nothing to do with car separation. It just so happens that an idiotic separation of hundreds of feet would have helped in this case.
People who drive feeling as though they are _moving through traffic_ are what causes problems. You should drive _with_ traffic, be a _part of traffic_. There are no individuals in traffic - we are all one whole. The Traffic. Drive with this in mind, and you'll increase your driving skill by orders of magnitude.
(Of course none of this _really_ matters even if it is the truth, because of all the other individuals considering themselves the most important pricks in traffic / the universe...)
(And yes, this means that I break speed limits whenever moving with traffic requires it. This is a natural conclusion.)
I for one would sure need to change my ways if I still want to be able to locate stuff easily, use sane webmail, look at a map and such things in a possible after-Google era. Google has made a lot of things easy. People take to that. It (or it's services, anyway) would be missed if they stopped being avaible.
I think I would still call Google a part of the Internet as opposed to a subset of same, but definitely a major part.
First of all backwards compatibility is only an issue for closed-source applications. Secondly, for these closed-source applications, it's no worse, and maybe better, than it is in Windows.
I'm sure it's a _bit_ more complex than that, but that still doesn't validate your comment.

In my experience, exactly the same is happening in the EU.

Dang, I guess a lot.
Well, you know what I meant, I'm hoping.
Ah well, I had to guess. :)
I guess you might be right. I just feel sick thinking where we'd be if that money was spent wisely. But I guess it's off-topic by now.
You honestly think that's thanks to Obama?
And it has nothing to do with spending billions of dollars on war, increasing your country's national deficit beyond even something imaginable?
This. Fuck.
Talk about retarded...
This.
I know it is bad form to just post 'This.', but this couldn't be better said than parent did.
Oh man. :)
Haha, you sounds so surprised it's truly funny.

Because my computer works.
My brother went to France last week.
2 days of sunshine and 20-22 degrees Celcius.
Right now, here (Belgium) it's 12 degrees Celcius.

Wish I didn't spend all my mod points yet. This deserves a bump up.

_Everything_ is about the money. The only thing more sad than that fact is people still looking for other explanations.

Resources.
The reference to the ntp server is in the firmware of the dlink hardware. How exactly do they not have control?
FUD...
