I can't see how you think PHP is Java "by any other name" - the whole perspective is different. Java lives for objects - in PHP they're an afterthought.
"Now, put all that in a 20kB program with a 5kB installer"
I think that can be achieved with a grand total of 2 API calls - open the registry key and write it. As far as space, I would guess 500 bytes for string values and perhaps as much as 100 bytes for the code to call it and other integer parameters.
It's not complicated, mate, and it is probably "ANNOYING" for users when you don't implement this standard interface.
If you put your manual under the start menu, it opens a viewer for the manual. If you put your manual under the help menu, it opens a viewer for the manual.
I wish everyone would follow the guidelines. Why the hell would you have a link to the uninstall in the start menu? How often do you have to run the uninstaller? Can't you spend all the three seconds to go to the add/remove applet, and have a cleaner menu. Whenever I write an installer, I just put one icon - a shortcut to the main program - at in the Start/Programs folder - so subfolder, so uninstaller. Just the shortcut. I can't see why anything else is nessecary.
There's nothing special about 64 bit. Saying "we're not ready for it" is like saying "we're not ready for 1 GB of RAM". It's just an incremental increase - nothing special.
If you set the threshold to -1 (how many FPs are above that?) and go right to the end (trial and improvement on the start parameter) you will find that there are at least 27 thousand first posts. You've created something really special here, Malda.
They say you can easily drop it 1m 54 times. So if you were planning to use it in that kind of enviroment, you would have to take a _lot_ of replacements.
I agree - it's kind of like saying you don't want to use roads, and demmanding that car manafactures design you a car that flies because you refuse to pay road tax.
I don't mean to sound snobby, but a few months ago I simply stopped watching TV.
I was very busy for a week, working almost all the time, so I couldn't watch any TV. At the end of the week I was surprised to find I didn't want to watch anymore.
Now I can't sit in front of the TV for more than five minutes or so of news without getting bored and thinking what a waste of time.

But the web and internet are still here. So perhaps blogs will survive too?
I agree with the "hacked on thing"
It's called "object _orientated_" for a reason - not "with objects"
"php is definately java by any other name"

Set Janeway on it.
So they'll have to convince Dell then - how are they going to do that?

What's the difference?
Under the help menu.
And no, I don't know how I managed to spell "no" as "so" twice in a row.

Sarcasm, dude. The final frontier.

I know I should RTFA before posting, but the link points to http://slashdot.org/TheXFree86Fork()SagaContinues, and that can't be right.

No, shurely Mono is "An Open Source [ECMA] compliant Container would be a Cruise Missile right into the Microsoft camp"
Uhhh, have you heard of Mono?

"saint paddy's day" is for the Irish you moron. Cox is Welsh.
"my 0.02"
Why do you need to say that?
It kind of means "in my opinion", but no one was going to think it was a Shakespeare quote or anything.
_Please_ can people stop doing that?
Nope. I think we managed to draw a line of the screen, though.
(Also, I fail to see how this is off topic!)
