...just what the hell ActiveState is doing in Bed with M$. My guess is that M$ is splashing some cash on ActiveState...well, is that so bad? I don't know. But I sure don't like the idea of OUR darling Perl being raped by M$...
Actually, I did start with "Learning Perl" way back when I started to hack CGI scripts. Then, moved on to "Programming Perl" and "Mastering Regex". Of course, I had to buy the "COOKBOOK" and now the NUTSHELL. Some of you may think I'm crazy but it's not that bad. First of all, I buy my books from BOOKPOOL (I don't work for them) where O'Reilly books are 35% to 45% off list price. Then, all the books I buy are tax-deductible (I have an online business) so I save another 40%. So, if a book costs $100, I'm really only paying $36!!!
(Ok, ok, so I'm addicted to O'Reilly books...I admit it...)

I don't think the best programmers are necessarily the best test takers. How do I know this? I'm good at taking tests but I suck at programming...
I think we should boycott Starwars...it's overhyped anyways. I'm not gonna see it.
