Multitasking is usually disk-bound, not CPU-bound. Disks don't handle separate but concurrent loads gracefully. This might change with SSDs. Until then, if you don't have enough CPU load with one application, you're unlikely to saturate the CPU with several applications.
Seriously, why would anyone use PHP to develop non-web apps, when there are so many significantly better alternatives?
Python, Perl and Ruby are the big three alternatives that run on more platforms than PHP, offer much better and more mature languages, and have far better standard libraries. Haskell and Erlang are much better functional equivalents.
Even then, we still have Tcl, C, C++, Java, C#, and many other languages available to use.
PHP isn't really that useful for web development any more. The only reason it still hangs on is because so many companies and individuals screwed up and chose to use it in the first place.
Meh,
I prefer php because it's a nice compromise between being easy to read, and being easy to find code to copy.
All it would really take is a small boaster rocket to crash phobos into the surface, Then just follow up with some bacteria that can convert the soil to O2.
It's not like it costs more to have a longer, more complex password.
What are you smoking?
Simple Passwords have to be reset less often, Which means less cost on the Customer/Luser Support calls. Not By a lot but not entirely Negligible.
Also having a complex password also means it usually has to be written down or requested often leaves room for Social engineering, So therefore Having a Stronger Password Unnecessarily can actually reduce overall security by increasing other attack vectors.
Any system that lets a user bruteforce the password is inherently flawed, Hell even windows locks you out after a certain number of guesses.

I didn't RTFA, But, If the sample size is really only 100 people I'm not sure i would trust the results.
Granted I'm pretty sure using a cell phone is safer then trying to fold unfold a map.
XKCD reminds me of the old joke about the prisoners who all know each others jokes they only refer to them by number.
I mean....
Well my favorite is #340
Not disagreeing with the sentiment of your post, but its really sad that 6 years now qualifies as long-term vision. One would hope that governments would always plan for the future, but I guess its one consequence of the evolving nature of democracy / republics that governments no longer seem to be often able to look past current politicians' terms in office.
Nah, Lenin/Stalin did 5 Year Plans, And they weren't exactly term limited

Not when your workstation has >20GB or ram
24 x86 cores just doesn't compare to 1 Fermi with 512 striped down vector processors
I don't think there's much point to trying to deal with Venus as it is, so the excess atmosphere has got to go.
The solution is obvious, the atmosphere that is in excess on Venus should be moved to Mars.
Then both problems are elegantly solved at once.
I'll leave the trivial implementation details to you.
This is Genius, Sounds like my Ex's idea to solve world poverty and world hunger at the same time: Just feed the poor people to the hungry people.
Why isn't there a PlayTV device available for the US market? Does Sony not like printing money?
Don't forget to add "if you break our cargo, you pay for it."
If you want space transport to work like a trucking business, you should pay for it the way you pay a trucking business.
If you want space transport to work like a bottomless money black hole, you should fund it like a bottomless money black hole.
You get what you pay for, and what you get depends on *how* you pay.
If only we funded NASA the Way we funded the Pentagon
Ubuntu has a logo?
So they have Eclipse but Not Dreamweaver?
Do you use the for-case paradigm too?
That should take about 20 lines not 60... Is that what you were trying to say?

Let me be the first to say...
sprayed on for a durable, easy-to-clean film on almost any substance, hard or soft.
bow-chicka-wow-wow!
I'm not sure where you were heading with this, but just because it's waterproof doesn't mean you should use it as a spray on condom.
By this definition isn't plastic "a highly viscous liquid" as well
yes but can lindor do the lindy hop?
What would it cost to terraform mars?
All it would really take is a small boaster rocket to crash phobos into the surface, Then just follow up with some bacteria that can convert the soil to O2.
How much for me and 5 of my friends to go to mars one way with 2 years of food/air/water

Is this kinda like the shirt with the RSA code that could be treat as a munition if a forigner saw it?

Well, it could of been worse, they could of named it the iTampon
I only wish Colin Powell would have run in 2000.
