No offence meant, but even if PHP's OO-support will be perfected at some point in the future, it would rather be a Smalltalk-clone (or python or ruby or whatever) than a Java-clone, which makes a hell of a difference.
The sources can be compiled under Windows and most Unices.
But since Windows doesn't come with a compiler, there is a binary provided for Windows.
So what's your point?

The status is the same that it has been and will be for quite a while: PHP itself (including the APXS2 sapi) is stable and thread-safe enough to be used with Apache 2, however thread-safety is unknown for many of the libraries PHP can link to. Link PHP against as few libraries as possible, and you should be fine.
Even three films are quite an undertaking. In the beginning, only two were planned, and even for two, Jackson they had a lot of trouble trying to find someone to provide the financial backup.
When they tried to get New Line Cinema in, after the presentation, the guy from New Line said something like "You can't make two films out of this, there have to be three!". They were delighted, although they had to rewrite the whole script.
As a German, I respect your view, but I have a few points.
Over here, pacifism is not just in people's heads, since WW2 it's so deeply buried in our constitution that we couldn't have joined that war even if we had wanted.
You certainly had your role in the european part of WW2, but the Nation that played the most important role certainly was the Sovjet Union. From a military point of view, the Sovjets freed, Germany. AFAIK, the eastern front bound about two thirds of the Nazi armed forces. Of course you brought us Democracy (West Germany, at least), and for that, I can't thank you enough. Recieve praise where you deserve it, but don't claim it all for yourself where you don't. Did you know the movie U-571 is based on actual events, but that is wasn't American soldiers who did it, but Tommys?
The last time people over here saw war rage through our country is less than 60 years ago. America hasn't seen a war from close up for almost 140 years. People over here tend to believe that this made you at least slightly ignorant of the terrors of war, because your memory (historically) of them is not as fresh as ours. We tend to believe that you resort to violence too quickly.
People over here don't really think a war is always wrong, but that it can only be a last resort, not a common tool of politics, and have the impression that you, or at least Rumsfeld and the like, seem to think otherwise. The way the Bush administration desperately searched for excuses to wage a war instead of trying to prevent one, and the frequency with which you send your soldiers out lately gives people over here the willies, or makes them just angry.
Most Americans are so upset by anti-americanism because you don't understand how the world percieves you, and that trying to bully the world around when they don't do what you want is not really a good way to make friends (here I refer to what your government seems to regard as 'diplomatics').
MySQL is developed mainly under Solaris and is known to work best there. Threaded performance under Solaris is said to be way better than under Linux.
This may of course not apply to your version of Solaris...but I can't make any qualified comments on this, really, as I have never even seen Solaris from up close.
So ISDN isn't ISDN outside of Europe... but it is in Europe and definately in Germany, which is exactly what I said:-)
Anyway, most ISDN-hardware he could buy around here would work with linux and i4l (ISDN for linux) does usually work with German ISPs, which is the point I wanted to make. You don't need SuSE to get online with linux in Germany, any sufficiently equipped linux will do.
Ah yes. Europeans invented the concept of imperialism. There was Europe, and there were european colonies. The rest parts of the planet not falling into one of these two categories fitted into a matchbox.
Spanish and portuguise aren't really south americas native languages and it's not an accident you can get along in most of africa with either english or french.
Germany has been pretty short on colonies, BTW. I think we had 2. One of the reasons for WWI. Germany felt it was not powerful enough, compared to the other big players in Europe. They, of course, were ready for a war, too.
Europe has learned to behave, lately. I think the last european colonies were freed in the 70s. Pity it took so long after WWII.
Clinton wasn't too bad either. The Bush administration on the other hand seems to refuse to learn from history. Or reason. Or anything. At all.
We "dragged our heels" on WWI and WWII because they weren't our wars. Canada is a commonwealth country. We aren't.
Imagine World War III
Imagine China taking first Taiwan and Japan, then attacking the US from the west.
Imagine California to be taken.
Imagine that a third of your country falls, the rest fighting for survival.
Imagine the look on your face when your european allies say "this is not our war".
Your impudence is loathsome. Thirty-thousand Americans are buried in Normandy alone. To minimize that enormous sacrifice is to insult the memory of the soldiers who died to liberate Europe.
The US lost less than 300.000 solders in WWII. This is of course a terrible loss of life, but compared to other countries, the US suffered very little in WWII. The Soviet Union lost over 20 Million people.
Yes, the US did help end the war in europe, but the turn of the tide against Hitler was not the participation of the US, but the russian winter.
I do not deny a certain gratitude towards the US for what they did in WWII, and beyond.
However, nothing justifies the arrogance with which the US have treated the rest of the world lately.
It is true that SuSE has german ISPs precofigured, but even in Germany, modems are modems, ISDN is ISDN and DSL-lines work with PPPoE, so you can really use any flavor of linux you like. As long as you don't try to use AOL or other ISPs that don't use standard PPP-dialup.
My expieriences with T-DSL (the common sort of DSL here) and linux: With SuSE, just use Yast. Works like a charm with T-DSL. Just fill in the numbers from the ISP's letter. Debian needed some tweaking of the ppp-config-files to get it working. Using examples from the net helped me. I never really found out why Debian's default DSL-config didn't work out for me. Gentoo's adsl-setup works out of the box with T-DSL.
You get three numbers for your account. A line-number, an account-number and your password. Use line_number+accound_number+"#0001@t-online.de" as your PPP-username, the password as your password, don't mess up the rest of your ppp-config and standard linux PPPoE will work fine in Germany.
In Germany, there are two kinds of areas where you will have problems to get a dsl-line (cable is not really an option here).
Number one are rural areas.
Number two are "too modern" areas, like freshly build suburbs with fiber, but no copper in the ground. In the 90's, they didn't know DSL only works on copper lines. AFAIK this is not too rare in eastern Germany, where they buried a lot of fiber after the german unification.
Besides that, coverage is pretty good, especially wireless. Cell phones really work here, I mean almost everywhere, and pretty reliably. Germany just isn't as vast as the US.

This may apply to most movies, but not to TLOTR.
The LOTR-movies are cut down because a 4 hour-beast is not acceptable for a movie that has to make a lot of money.
Most poeple I know, at least the geeks and especially those who read the book, found the longer version of the fellowship a _lot_ better.
