How the hell is my above comment be redundant. There are four comments and none of them are about Steve Mann. I don't know, maybe it's redundant because everyone on slashdot already knows how much of a nerd Steve is.
Watch now this will get modded off topic. S'allright cuz I got karma to burn baby!
Here here! I only read these posts to be amused by the mindless vitriol of the fanboys, but I am starting to wish for another arena for that. I wish I could never see 'groklaw has a great article about it' again.

My wife went to an tech award show last year at which this product won something. The presentor mentioned that the pentagon was also interested in the product. He said that it is possible to turn the volume up to lethal levels.
Considering how much of the web runs on PHP, I am surprized at the lack of interest in this new release. PHP 5 when combined with MySQL 4 is going to do some amazing things.
The idea of being able to manipulate store retrieve and execute on the fly is currently blowing my mind. I can't wait to get started on it. This is truly groundbreaking
Bring on the Lang X has had that for years
Yea, with a lot of lame hacks you could have done this with a file structure with php itself. But this sounds seamless.
But you can't see the text on your monitor without a graphics card. The last machines to be truly text only were the old teletype terminals. By the dictionary even those are graphical:
graphicPronunciation Key(grfk)
adj. also graphical (--kl)
1. Of or relating to written representation.
2. Of or relating to pictorial representation.
I don't mean to flame but if you are going to nit-pick you should check your facts.
You are correct, but there is a security issue as well, I let anybody edit pages and styles. What if some joker comes along and figures out a way to post some mal code, it might get executed (I have precautions against that but you never know) Results from db queries are not processed by the php processor so there is less risk.
Besides performance is not an issue, my bandwidth caps well before my server gets taxed.
By the way 90 percent of most page weight is images and my images are stored at the file system level.
Actually, with a high performance database such as Oracle the RDBMS handles disk r/w and memory caching so with a properly tuned and indexed database the performance loss is minimal. The real issue though is that since my navigation is built on the fly to reflect page moves in real time using a database is a must.
You may not think of it this way but to me text is data and my database is designed to handle it.
Sound like an interesting project. I considered doing something like that, 'publishing' the html, but I have a lot of code that does things not related to presentation that made it impractical.
If you want to test the load, get a story posted here on slashdot with a link to your site ; )
Obviously you wouldn't know dynamic if it bit you in the ass. My site has user editable pages *and* styles via forms. Tell me now how a filesystem is better for that.
I knew pearl had a lot of things included, but I am sure I can do without the kitchen sick.
blleeehh

PHP 5 RC 1 released

PHP is very fast and easy to use. The php.net website has great documentation. With the PEAR extension database abstraction is possible making all your data functions totally portable. As for quick hacks php can be run on the command line which is very quick and very hackey. I have been using it for years in tandem with MySQL and find that it meets all my needs (except for the fact that MySQL doesn't have nested queries but that is coming in the next release and I will be a happy man!) I also know JSP and Oracle but prefer PHP/MySQL by far.

Dude that was funny!, you should not have done that anon, I would have added you to my friends list.

I can't wait to see what Steve Mann is up to. He has got to be the biggest nerd of all time.
See for yourself.
I think he's cool.

I use humorous print statements e.g. in a loop i will put in

Wake up you people!
How many people would give up they key to their house for a bar of chocolate?
How much to change the locks on my house; $80
How much to change my password; $0
Unless you count opportunity costs then its a couple bucks, if you're me.
So I guess I would not do it, unless it was some kind of expensive exotic chocolate.
Damn dude, you must do tech support. Don't let em get you down. There are others who suffer right along with you. Here have a bunny.

We were at war with Japan and Germany. No one ever said 'we're winning the war on Japan' did they?
If I had mod points I would give you an insightful on that.
I would like to add that all wars on nouns tend to drag on forever with out any real success.
war on poverty
war on drugs
war on terrorism
war on porn
See the pattern?

High availability and beta don't seem to go together to me. I don't think an OS should be classified such until it is STABLE

This story is burning up enough mod points to give us all karma nirvana.
Please, stop wasting points modding off-topic.

Verb is a noun so don't verb... uh...don't verbalize....verbate....uh...just don't do it!
