Canada is definitely not a third-world nation by anyone's standards.
On a population basis, you can fit most of the first world inside the US and not fill it up. Canada 30m, Australia 20m, Norway 10m, Sweden 20m, etc.
USA 300m.
As a result of massive immigration during the relatively free periods of your history, you now enjoy a massive population that produces a proportionate amount of science/culture/war.
Until they fix the braindead configuration, fuck *SWAN.
Now what I've had to use Linux more, I'm used to spending a couple of hours figuring out how some bullshit works, I probably have the skills to suss it out.
What is it about concise, detailed and _useful_ manpages that the Linux community couldn't give a toss over?
Type-specific comparisons, when needed (rarely), can be made using ===/!==, or you can cast variables c-style. Global variables is complete nonsense, it's true that POST/GET variables can be made global in php.ini, but it's not there by default. Function/class/method scoped variables act as they should.
As to the whinge about modules.. what sort of peon doesn't have their own colocated box these days? They're like $60/mo.
Of course there are real problems with PHP. The only reason to use PHP is that it's sort of like a loosely-typed C clone, with awesome arrays.
Sometimes you can add $ to all the variables in a C program and it works in php, and mostly you just update a few tiny differences (most of php's unix functions don't have a place for a reference, which sucks btw).
The arrays are nothing short of elite. I haven't seen any more useful array implementation in any other language (although I'd like to find some!)
since spam outnumbers murders by probably a couple of trillion to one, i'd say spam causes more grief.
for example, i don't know anyone who's known anyone to be murdered, but practically every single person i know complains about spam
the fact is, you can get a 3G phone with video-talk ability for around $USD8 per month, with $16 worth of free calls etc etc blah blah. what's really amazing is that 3's normal phone call prices are actually cheaper than everyone else anyway.
I always thought he was saying 'klingon!':)
RtCW was a good followup to wolf3d IMO, it managed to capture the essence of the game pretty well and more importantly, it was fun!
Your religion or lack thereof is irrelevant to the person trying to kill you because their god told them to.
In an interesting twist, it is precisely this moral crutch used by soldiers of countries who kill you because their president told them to. So, a soldier of the west kills because the enemy is commie/arab scum, with the real reason being the obtainment of strategic resources, while the enemy basically has no problem with you, he just wants your money?
How about this?:P I've got a Via Eden M-series board in there with a 1 GHz C3, half a gig of PC2100 and a 160GB disk:) The only problem is, the new TV card won't fit in until I get the hacksaw out again:P
My trusty old 486 had DOS installed on its krad 210MB hdd, then went through Win3.11 and then Win95, without reinstalling etc. I'm sure the cruft level is probably infinite but you can't really tell since 486s are so slow anyway:) It has quite a few interesting things from the ages.. qbasic programs from when i was 8 years old (print "10 WHATS THE PASSWORD"; A$ 20 IF A$ = "DAVIDRULZ" THEN PRINT "YOU'RE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!" heh), sc2000 saved games with amusing personal references that are so embarrassing it's best not to say:) The amazing thing is that it's actually been in constant use for all of those years. In 1996 it was relegated to basically a doom/irc box, but in 1998 I gave it to my cousin who used it for light programming until last year, when I got it back and used it for uptime experiments (never did get to the fabled 47 day limit!).
I serve 1-6MB files to two clients all month, averaging around 100GB per month. Actually, they're mp3s and the clients are just xmms boxes around the house. Ocassionally they'll be playing a song and half way through just skip to the next song, but it's usually days between occurances (every couple of gigabytes, or every couple of hundred files). I think it's due to the streaming nature of the transfer, and I doubt it'd occur with proper transfers.
On the other hand, FTP will max out my 100MBit ethernet, while HTTP will get maybe a few megs per second. FTP is probably better on system resources, and if you have a phat pipe, probably maxes it out easier.
