"Real coders use Perl." Yes, Perl is easier to read. I'll say it again, Perl is easier to read. With Perl the computation is done seperatly and then the HTML is printed back to the browser. I find this a lot easier to deal with then having loops, etc. inside HTML. Also, as someone else pointed out, Perl is more secure.
Having said that, it boils down to a question of wether you want the code in the HTML or the HTML in the code. You say tomato and I say to-ma-to... (an old song for you young folks.)
Yes, how can they say there is a "Bias towards Apple" when we can't even get Open Office on OS X. And don't tell me to use X-11, I tried it and its way to complicated.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing, if it ain't free,
feeling good was easy, lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

Yes, AOL has become the white elephant of the IT industry. When AOL merged with Time-Warner at the height of the internet bubble it was big news. Now Time-Warner would be happy to unload it. I have several friends who have given up on AOL and realized that there is a whole internet beyond AOL's cached pages. The drop in AOL's subscribers numbers show that more people are becoming wise to this. AOL will be left with a subscription base of grandmothers and people still using Windows 95 on a pentium 66 Mhz who are afraid to switch. MS buying AOL (if that is their plan) would be great for Google, Linux and Apple. I hope they go ahead with it.
Face it, this is all smoke and mirrors. Bush will use the Moon and Mars missions as an excuse to cancel existing space programs and then keep pushing the Moon and Mars missions back. It is part of the Republican effort to dismantal govenment so that they can reduce taxes for the rich fat cats and cut back on programs and services. See #FEMA.
"But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic?... We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win..."
... old tape is fragile. I worked with audio tape for years, and tape older than 10 years had to be literally baked (heated & cooled again) before playing.
My cassette tape of the Rolling Stone's "Sticky Fingers" still plays after 30 years, but then it has been baked and cooled hundreds of times sitting on the dash of my VW bug.
I know, I posted this link yesterday, but Cringely thinks that Apple is moving towards providing a retinal scan with the iPod. Brittany Spears projected right into your eyeball! And you thought cell phones were a distraction while driving.
Doh!, Yes there is something called entropy that comes into play anytime you convert energy from one form to another. How much energy is used pumping oil out of the ground, transporting it and refining in into gasoline?
This has been the way browsers have worked since the dawn of the net. How about designing browsers so that scripts run without acess to the whole hard drive and system calls, oh wait then Microsoft would have to use the evil Java system and not Active X.
Way over engineered site, obvously designed for the CEO of the Onion, not for the average user. Even on a 600 kbs ethernet it takes forever to download and I can't even scroll down the page once it does. I can't imagine how slow it would be on an older computer or phone line modem. Get with reality Mr. Onion Web Designer.

What for? I still got my Claris Home Page 3.0. Makes web pages that download easily are are compatible with 99% of the browsers in use. Runs great under Classic too.
Bush's moon plan is just a bunch of smoke and mirrors. Bush or his (supposed) Republican sucessors will hold it up as an excuse to cancel current space programs and keep pusing it back and putting it off due to supposed budgeting or other problems. This will leave more money for the Republicans to give the rich tax breaks or to take over other countries with large oil reserves.
Lucas is a great film editor. I just rewatched the first Star Wars movie and was impressed by the tension and excitement built by the editing in the attack on the Death Star. However, he is not the greatest director when it comes to acting. Compare the first movie with the second and third (in order of release). The second and third were not directed by Lucas and the acting of Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher, etc. was much better.
Now look at the the fourth and fifth movies. They were directed by Lucas again and the acting was terrible. I thought it was just Portman and Christensen, but then I noticed that Samuel Jackson's acting was also wooden. This is the guy who gave the "path of the riteous man" speach in Pulp Fiction and he is reading lines like an indian in a 50's western. Hopefully the presence of an acting coach will impove the performances in the sixth release.

It reminds me of the head gear in Clockwork Orange. "Not Ludwig, not Ludwig, ..."

He has an impressive resume, at least he did something more than run a horse breeder's association.

Cringely saw this coming last Friday. The Jean Dixon of the computer industry does it again.
