You know what they do in France? To sit in a cafe, you must pay. Even to drink a water.
Indeed. Same thing in Holland. In fact, I was very surprised (from reading the comments here) that it is apparently possible to sit at a table in a U.S. cafe without ordering anything.
The Roomba would take all day if it didn't get stuck.
Yes, but the point of the Roomba is that it does its job while you are away, so it hardly matters that it's slower.

Not to mention that MySQL doesn't even enforce referential integrity would would seem much less functional than MS SQL.
Will people ever stop saying this? InnoDB tables, which provide referential integrity, have been available for MySQL since version 3.23.34a (2001), are included in binary distributions by default as of MySQL 4.0, and are the default table type on Windows starting with version 4.1.5. See InnoDB Overview.
Why do you think books use serif fonts? Because they are faster and easier to read.
Yes, but print is different from screens because it has a much higher resolution. In a high resolution medium (print) serifs help readability; in a low resolution medium (most computer screens) the added complexity of serifs hinders readability.
The minor points such as dates and who cooked apple cobler in maine on the second of november etc is pointless to memorize
I mostly agree with you, but I think the dates are not so minor as is often argued. After all, knowing the order in which things happened is pretty crucial for being able to understand them.
That would be "dysmathia" (the "disorder" meaning resides in the dys- part of the word), but the correct term is dyscalculia. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia
Hmm, the article got the cost of Opera wrong, too. Opera is completely free, it is just that the free version is ad supported. I don't understand why people are so turned off by this, it's not as if you're web browsing experience isn't overcome with advertising, anyway.
It is a while ago since I tried Opera, but as I remember it the Opera ads were animated and there was no way to turn the animation off ('don't animate animated gifs' settings for web pages didn't seem to have an effect on those ads).
Wha? You can cmd+c all you like in the finder, works great.
I was about to say the same thing. And depending on where you paste (Cmd-v) it, you either copy the filename (if the name of another item is selected) or you can copy the file itself (same as Cmd-d, Duplicate).
Apache on OpenBSD always had a lot of security-related patches compared to the regular Apache (chroot for example), but it seems that Apache on OpenBSD can now be considered a real fork:
After the 1.3.29 they decided to muck with their license, introducing stupid patent terms without understanding what they turned their license (that used to be a BSD-derived one) into with that, so we cannot import new versions unless they fix their license. It is not a big loss tho'. The Apache people have mostly given up on 1.3 anyway, and all that happened over the last years was bug fixes, documention work (actually, mainly translation), and some stupid code shuffling, that only made diffs bigger without improving anything. Now that it is certain that we don't have to worry about syncing to them any more, we can start making the mess of code readable tho'.
My understanding from my years biking is that only an idiot would wear headphones while riding, especially road riding. It makes you deaf to approaching cars, other cyclists, moose, and feral cats.
I use my iPod all the time (with the regular earbud headphones) when riding my bicycle to and from work. I can hear the traffic just fine.

Well, English isn't my native language, but that's no excuse in this case, because I do know how to spell "security". The silly thing is that I previewed this story submission twice, but I only noticed the "securitey" thing immediately after submitting it. Oh well, I'm glad the editors at least corrected it in the title - it was "securitey" there also. (Copy-paste of the mistyped word).
Marc Liyanage is a great asset to the Mac OS X community. Check out some of the Mac OS X packages he provides for several important Unix applications. Though not linked to from that page yet, he also has a PHP 5.0.1 package ready for Mac OS X. (Caution: link points directly to the.dmg file).
What is the main advantage to having a bluetooth enaabled phone?
For me: the ability to easily synchronize address book and calendar with my computer (I'm using iSync on Mac OS X). It's very convenient to be able to do this without wires.
As far as I can tell, the popular PHP distribution from Marc Liyanage for Mac OS X (still at version 4.3.6) is not vulnerable: it seems to be compiled without memory_limit support. ini_get_all() does not return a value for memory_limit, and memory_get_usage() returns Fatal error: Call to undefined function: memory_get_usage().
I haven't tested the built-in Mac OS X php version.
