Um - generally if I write a class or function or something that might be useful again, I put it in a seperate file and require() it - you can put it in a seperate folder and call it from multiple projects. Places like phpclasses.org index these (although admittedly much of what is there is librarys, if you can really see a difference). Can you give an example (excluding namespaces, which I think we all already know about and from my experience aren't actually that useful - as long as you name your classes properly) of a language that does encourage this? And how it does it?
One benefit is that you can carry several books around with (if you're like me and have a pda already) no effort besides downloading it. Very useful when bored waiting for trains/planes. I wouldn't like to read everything on it though - screen is too small.
MAYBE I'LL CURE AIDS, STOP WAR, END DEATH AND SUFFERING BY NOON TOMORROW. AFTER ALL, I CAN DO ANYTHING. I'M DELUDED.
Wouldn't killing everyone be the easiest way to achieve this? Admittedly, doing it by noon tomorrow may be a challenge, but with a little planning there's no reason that I can see meaning it can't be done.
The java game is (most likely) this. I'm also 16, and a few years ago a few people at school went to an IBM conference/activity day which used this. I agree with the points in the post above, wish they did some of them at my school.
And at least this one is probably justified, the advert is a bit misleading to new computer users (the "most powerful" machine). Its at least better than the ads that were banned after about 3 people complaining (In the UK the record for the most people complaining about an ad is under 800 I think).
Also Mandrake usually takes a while before the retail version comes out after the release happens, and they say on their website that most of their revenues are coming from MandrakeClub subscriptions anyway, with boxed versions not making them much money.

Maybe for some, but not all...
