We pay extra for each CD-R in Iceland that goes straight to the music industry.
as we (decided to) see it, we pay for free music with our taxes, just like we pay for our schools with our taxes.. so I haven't bought a CD for years:)

hardcoded functions like myslq_connect and writing my own XML parser was exactly what i didn't like in php when i wrote a website in php few months ago. I also had troubles using OO programming techniques, and trying to use the MVC programming model. Most of the php articles i read were explaining how to do very basic things, and I felt like many of the authors had never tried a real programming language like C++ and therefore had no understanding of what was happening under the "hood".
I've used mod_perl, ASP and Java for web-programming, and just didn't fall in love with PHP like i was suppose to.
And what surprised me most was that i wrote it all on a Windows machine using php/apache/mysql and it ran fine, but when it was moved to a Linux web server it didn't run! even though it had the same version of php
Funny, i read Enders Game long time ago.. and i remebered it when i read the first Harry Potter book, because i found it to be the exact same book.. but just with diffrent names and settings.
both great books, but it's funny how the same story can be told over and over again and allways be loved.
And what I don't understand is how we can talk about Java OO-purist when the primitive data types like integers aren't object and needs a wrapper to stick it in a container. That and working with Strings is what I don't like about Java.
I'm pretty sure that a modern compiler should be able to optimize things like that easily by now. If Sun is just holding on to old crap like that just because its old, then Java is doomed to be replaced.
but still I use Java because the IDEs like Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA are so nice..
I can't switch to Linux on my desktop machine because I would have to stop making music. I haven't found any sequencers that support VST instruments or even a VST host for Linux yet, so this talk that musicians can easily switch to Linux doesn't really make sense to me.. unless all those who make music on Linux have tons of hardware synths and don't need soft synths like poor me:P
If anyone knows about any open source Sequencer with planned VST support, let me know, I would love to help. I searched Sourceforge for Linux VST.. and found nothing.
