OK so it looks like a Psychosomatic illness, but the important point of my post was that it is treatable.
The treating doctor had found a link between a childhood virus (or a treatment for a childhood virus) and the onset of CFS in later life. However as soon as he had successfully treated a number of patients he moved to another area of research.
CFS is not a psychosomatic based illness.
My brothers girlfriend suffered from CFS for years.
It was eventually cured using a course of uppers and downers (very strong doses over a couple of years).
There may be good reasons why someone is sticking with PHP. I maintain a site in PHP (I am not about to slashdot myself). It was not my first choice for a language. I bought a cheap (£20 for two years - including 1GB transfer per month- can you show me a ruby hosting service that can match that?) domain plus hosting based on the availability of Python support. Unfortunately they had discontinued Python support shortly before that. I ended up using what was available (the choice was Perl or PHP). PHP is not a great language but I have found that is fit for purpose for small sites (I make no claims for large sites having no experience in it). However I have yet to find things that it can't do easily - PHP has been sufficient for my needs.
What is wrong with Pascal as a teaching language?
I am using a modern variant (Delphi) and that does not do GC by default (except via COM interfaces and for strings).
Pascal does require explicity memory management too.
I happen to be vegetarian. It has nothing to do with trying to change the world or make myself feel special. It just happens that at one point I was presented with a live rabbit and a knife and chose not to kill the rabbit. Some years later this turned into not having someone else kill animals on my behalf. I am merely being consistent.
Michael Moore demonstrated this in "Bowling for Columbine". He manages to get a company to change it's behaviour without:
(i) Changing the law
(ii) Buying a chunk of the company
(iii) Witholding purchases.
MS is on a hiring spree.
The.NET framework looks like a "what would the Windows API look like if it had been written by the Borland VCL Team". I don't think this is unrelated to their hiring of Anders H.
They are collecting programmers that have been sucessful and are pointing them all in the same direction (WinFX). Strategically this is a good move for them.
The classic game elite on the spectrum had a great trick. If you docked while in the middle of jumping you would arrive straight at the target station. This was great fro trading but did you status no good at all.
I have seen a shredder with an airblower on the back to mix the cross-cut shredded paper into the mass of already shredded paper. This should greatly increase the difficulty of retreiving useful information - especially if a number of distinct documents are shredded at once. These buggers are noisy and can be messy if the back leaks.
Provide a test harness (with source) that executes the api. Provide a debug stubbed version of the api that returns hints as to why the parameters failed.
Be very clear on calling conventions. Who should allocate and free the memory. Be very careful when you pass out handles to records what they are for.
More importantly these live CDs can run on a machine with no hard drive installed (Knoppix) and still go online (via a networked router).
Additionally they can boot from CD faster than XP can start up.
It's still a valid present for geeks that have'nt looked at linux for a while (yes they do exist).
There are certain things that cannot be parametrised such as joins across databases. We keep our archive data in a seperate database on the same server. The only way to access this via a stored procedure is via dynamic sql.

In the next one all bets are off.

There are other effective forms of protest.

Sorry they don't do PC's
You get what you pay for.
It is illegal to use the iTrip in the uk but is not illegal to sell them.

In the UK Tesco's used to pay the £50 bounty for finding stolen cards to the cashier. They had the highest recovery rate going.
Then the management decided to keep the money and they have dropped back to being like everyone else.
expect is atcl extension thast was written for just this purpose.
Delphi works just fine on large projects. It still beats the crap out of .net for win 32 apps.
They are very innovative in the shrewd marketing and getting away with abusing a monopoly fields.
UML is best used for informally descussing the design of existing/proposed code. Alternatively it could be used to document existing code.
it's the command line runas command

Don't feed the trolls!

This is a bbc documentary series that questions the Bush administration spin.
Why don't they offer the option of never trust Microsoft?
