Seriously, though, I haven't tried EVE because I can't stand flight games. I hated Descent. I hated SWG's Jump to Lightspeed. I have no reason to believe that I wouldn't hate EVE, too.

I don't see why everyone is so critical of PHP.
PHP started out as a set of Perl scripts in 1995, presumably using the then-new Perl 5. When it became its own language in 1997, it somehow lost namespaces, the module loading system, DBI, use strict, and everything else in Perl that doesn't register on the suck-o-meter. It also did silly things like adopt the TCL global variable system, rather than using the one that C, Perl, Java, and even things like VB use.
So, yeah, there's a reason every is critical of PHP.

Simply continue to produce standards compliant websites, and if you get a person visiting who is using a broken browser simply inform them of the fact that their browser is broken and give them a list of properly working browsers with URLs for them to click on.
I'm all for this idea... however, I doubt my clients would be. You know, the people with money.
perldoc perlmodlib tells you which modules come with perl.
In the 5.8 version of, one modules such module is Digest::MD5. The core crypt() function also passes things directly through to the OS's crypt library. However, for portability reasons, you should use Crypt::PasswdMD5 for MD5-base crypted passwords, as some libraries (such as Windows') don't support MD5 hashes.
Now, about the NGE... Even as a standalone game, it'd have problems. Major things like hit detection for interior walls and objects are still not present 7 months after the NGE hit... simply because SOE is more concerned about releasing things on-time rather than working.
is perfectly valid in PHP, but it throws a notice (similar to perl's warnings) that shows up in log files, or as output if error_reporting(E_ALL) is set.
I always program with use strict in effect, and most of the time, -w or use warnings as well. Similarly, I like setting error_reporting(E_ALL) if I'm using PHP.
I wrote a journal entry about things that pissed me off in PHP before. The programming environment changing because of INI file settings was high on the list. The language changing was up there, too, particularly with 5.0 no longer having the old-style global arrays by default ($HTTP_POST_VARS and the like, rather than $_POST).
Bareword "a" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at orange.pl line 5. Bareword "b" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at orange.pl line 5. Bareword "c" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at orange.pl line 5. Execution of orange.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
Perl using standard CGI is slower than PHP's mod_php
Perl using mod_perl is more complicated than PHP's mod_php
mod_perl really is a big issue. In PHP, something that runs under two identical setups, one that uses mod_php and the other that uses PHP CGI will run identically.
mod_perl's caching and function wrapping can lead to unexpected results with global variables and modules (See: perldoc FindBin).
If you're listening Ray, please make IE standards compliant, so web-based projects don't have to add 20% or more to their budgets to allow for tweaking their sites to work in standards-based browsers.

I don't think he has ever said who gave him the G5 or if he bought it for himself.
He doesn't use OSX (and I'm fairly sure that I implied he didn't, even if I didn't say it).
Well, I couldn't wake you up when Linus buys a Mac, because that's already happened.
Or did you mean to imply "and uses OSX on it."?
That's funny, they claimed to have fixed a number of bugs.
Not that I'm pleased with IE, as they've fixed the Star-HTML Hack while other bugs not mentioned in the IE Blog still remain.

Google could countersue for slander and/or libel and ask for money plus legal fees...
It's a moot point. The homeowner undoubtably authorized himself and/or a security company to put them in.
I choose Duke Nukem Forever!
Wait... can I change my vote?

Having said that, I have my own list of things I dislike about perl.
Remember that net neutrality amendment that the US House just shot down?
Thanks Bittorrent for giving the telcos ammo to use against net neutrality when it goes to the Senate.
Here, here!

Just a nitpick, but there were 33 professions, not counting Politician and Jedi.
I hate doing things like this, but he has a point.
Yes, as Star Wars Galaxies accounts are indeed tied to keys... except that free servers don't use those accounts.
OTA TV stations have upgraded their broadcasting equipment (and over time, their cameras) to HD, because it's an obvious improvement.
Really? I thought it was because of a government mandate (pdf), at least in the US.
Boy, tough crowd tonight. I knew I should have made fun of a polician instead.
Hmmm.... I hope he didn't start his speech off with "I have a dream..." We know how that ended last time.

Except that the second one chokes if use strict; is in effect.

Fixed.
Even if they did, the idea behind Eat one's own dog food would have been high on the list. Most likely the top item.
Or have you forgotten the flak Microsoft took when it was revealed that Hotmail was running on one of the BSDs?
