There probably aren't enough 3-digit area codes left for all of the cellular phone subscribers. Are you going to memorize all of the new cellular-only area codes?
Erm.. whats the point in having *area* codes for *mobile* phones.
Arent you right wing guys worried about how you will be able to cope with those terrurists when they attack, what colour is the alert level these days? When they detonate their dirty bomb it will be 5 days before homeland security things of taking some action. You better hope to fuck that they dont bomb any levees (or are all those in non bush voting states?) as you have no idea what to do and all your troops are too busy killing people thousands of miles away to save people at home.
Of course all the money that was put into homeland security is in the pockets of a bunch of rich men and their companies so when the shit hit the fans you will just have to sit there and blame it on the "left".
Flat bottom boats are not going to do the job well.
One resident was saving peoples life with exactly that, days before any official help even bothered turning up. Journalists even got there to interview him and still there was no help from the authorities. Journalists FROM THE UK flew over and were reporting on the disaster days before the bush adminsitration did anything (apart from flying over at 5000 feet in air force 1). People were asking journalists for help!
Those elderly patients must have just been stubborn eh!

Troops begin combat operations in New Orleans
By Joseph R. Chenelly Times staff writer
NEW ORLEANS -- Combat operations are underway on the streets "to take this city back" in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
"This place is going to look like Little Somalia," Brig. Gen. Gary Jones, commander of the Louisiana National Guard's Joint Task Force told Army Times Friday as hundreds of armed troops under his charge prepared to launch a massive citywide security mission from a staging area outside the Louisiana Superdome. "We're going to go out and take this city back. This will be a combat operation to get this city under control."...
While some fight the insurgency in the city, other carry on with rescue and evacuation operations. Helicopters are still pulling hundreds of stranded people from rooftops of flooded homes.
Yeah why didnt those people in ICU evacuate? Those arrogant assholes. And the 100k people who dont have their own transport or enough money to evacuate, well they are probably all rapists anyway!
I cant believe that americans wont even help their own. Its been days and people are dying in the streets.
Spam costs me a negligible amount of money and hardly any time at all.
You sound like someone who hasnt yet had his main email address harvested by spammers and takes a "it doesnt affect me so why are you all whining" attitude.
Sorry, but the fact they (Japanese) used live humans as petri dishes for deadly bacteria then jumped on them to squeeze out all the blood so they can infect more people and breed more bacteria, somehow, even today, doesn't help at all the cause of those who go around saying "oh the poor Japanese, we shouldn't have bombed them, they are so innocent"
You seem to have difficulty in distinguishing between individual people and entire races. Cant you imagine in that small brain of yours that *just maybe* not the entire japanese race were evil murderers and didnt deserve to die horrible deaths.
By your own logic al qaeda should attack civilians for the military acts of some US soldiers.
yes that is very acceptable. maybe you should study military history sometime. there are no innocent enemy civilians. anybody contributing to that country is contributing to the death of OUR soldiers. women/children/civilians work in factories help producing weapons/ammo to kill our soldiers. even just working to help feed their soldiers, aids them. there are no innocent people in the country you go to war with.
So none of the people who died in the WTC were innocent?

Having seen horribly written Perl used in the wrong situation, I know that Perl can take longer to develop than PHP to do some things. Maybe it could have been sped up by using CPAN modules, but the entire application could have been built in a matter of days. The Perl version probably took a month to build, based on the sheer amount of code.
The entire application probably could have been built in a matter of days using perl too.
Whoa i worked with people who would copy stuff off the web, fail to understand it and spend 10x longer trying to get it to work than it would take a real developer to just write it.
Still, professional programmers probably don't use PHP at all - i've never met one who does.
The price argument has been gone for a few years now skippy. These prices are competitive.
Bollocks, Try comparing like for like fanboy e.g
I have tried and tried to buy one of those 399.00 - 500.00 WinTel boxen just for a few tasks and games but it's not doable. Those boxes SUCK!!! Once you add the 300.00 video card the price goes up!
Do $399-$500 apple computers contain the equivalent of a $300 graphics card?
Finally "CPU" doesn't mean what you seem to think it does.
The thing on top looks like it is effectively a trackball, however it cant be as it would grind to a halt within a couple of days after being filled with human skin crud that accumulates.
The side buttons are just buttons, whats this "squeeze" bollocks, look they are obviously just buttons!
Every 'flow control' statement (if, while, else, etc) gets a comment in plain English about what conditions it's checking for.
If the conditions in an "if" are difficult to understand then your problem isnt one that commenting can fix. Try meaningful variable names and if necessary split your logic into intermediate steps.
Every logical block of code gets a 'mission statement' saying what large-scale, abstract task about what they are supposed to accomplish. When I say 'logical block', I'm not talking about something the computer will understand, but an abstract grouping of lines of code meant to accomplish a high-level task.
Again this should be fairly obvious from the names of your methods and variables,I would also argue that most "blocks" of code should be doing simple things and not "high level" or "large scale" tasks for reasons of cohesion and reusability.
It doesnt apply to everyone. For example the tabloid papers that printed satellite shots of "saddams WMD facilities" that incited support for the attack on iraq have not and will not be prosecuted. Neither will people like George Bush or Tony Blair who did their best to ensure the attacks were carried out.
If the police thought I arranged for someone to be killed regardless of whether it seemed good morally they would probably arrest and question me, if however you do the same on a grand scale and are the leader of the labour party they wont even bat an eyelid.
bollocks, one of the reasons I stopped using opera was its propensity to sit there saying something like "request queued.." and just refusing to load the site, the same site would load fine in firefox. Between that and the ads and the new terrible interface (was that version 6 or 7, i forget) firefox was much better.

Do you guys in the USA also pay for recieving (snail) mail. Someone has to pay for it after all :-)
Erm.. whats the point in having *area* codes for *mobile* phones.
Low gas prices had contributed to these far prices. They wouldnt build retail parks so far away if people couldnt afford to drive there.
Similarly if people had thought of the cost of gas when they bought their house and got their jobs they might be in a better position now.
I know there is no easy solution but I am starting to think it would have been better all round if the US had taxed gas the same way europe does.

they werent even letting the red cross in. Its almost as if they wanted more people to die.

Try to think about that for a second.

ASP.NET would be much better, or Perl (strict and OO) or JSP. Basically a real language :-)
The entire application probably could have been built in a matter of days using perl too.
Maybe he meant learn properly rather than just install and get a program to run.

He means the availability of computing power has made webapps more viable.

p.s I am not agreeing with him just translating
Oh you mean like AJAX?
Cylon viruses?

he could have just glued the mini on to the back of the (pretty large!) screen.
As with his website he seems to enjoy overengineering things for no reason.
