Separating code and content (and style) is what I use php for. If you are putting php in your html you are doing it backwards. Marked up content goes in one database table CSS goes in the other and php puts them together.
You are correct. People will go to great lengths to save their native language. One example are the Kurds in southern Turkey. Their language was outlawed by the government but the authorities are now giving up enforcement because the task is impossible.
I agree, I have read several of his preious works that were slightly entertaining but "Chindi" is a real low. I found myself thinking 'is this supposed to be a joke?' I don't think I'll buy any thing by him again.
Ok, let's start with some parameters. If you ask a question you must have some level of intelligence, a block of wood does not ask questions. If we were to encounter an alien species, discourse about mathematics implies that there is a modicum of rapport. By posing a question the speaker (or emitter of organized light frequencies or any recognizable transfer of the desire for more information) provides a reference point to which the respondent can now frame an answer.
I cannot answer a question like you pose from an intelligent alien being until I am aware of the format of that question. Since you are posing that question to me in the medium of written english I will respond in kind. 0 is the fulcrum of two measures of equal proportion. % is an operation resulting in the measure of the portion of a measure that a second measure copied and adjoined cannot occupy without exceeding the bounds of the first.(it's that wee bit left over)
If the entity I was conversing in spoke in colors I would say #FE0000 % #7F0000 = #000000 (red modulus russet yields black) obviously this would have to be repeated with different values for the entity to make any sense of it.
Pero is not instant coffee it is an instant hot beverage but without the caffine. When I was a kid I had a cup of it every morning and thought it was quite good.
That aside I now only drink coffee. My way of making coffee is just as fast as instant and a whole lot tastyier. I have found that the preparation of the coffee plays a more important role in the flavor than any thing else. I cannot afford to buy gourmet coffee all the time but if you use a decent mass market brand and make it correctly it is quite drinkable.
The equipment: glass carafe and natural paper cone filter(for some reason it is hard to find a non-electric coffee maker but some hardware stores carry them), electric kettle(coffee machines are worthless, the heating element burns the first drips and makes the whole pot unpalatable.)
The method:
Fill cone with four rounded tablespoons of coffee.
Heat water. Do not bring the water to a full boil! It should be in the state japanese water watchers call fish eyes. (there are three states to boiling water, crab eyes is when the first tiny bubbles form, fish eyes is when the bubbles are large enough to detach and rise to the surface and finally dragon eyes is a full boil)
Pour water into cone quickly at an angle so the water swirls in a clockwise motion (clockwise is more harmonious with the corialis effect.) Fill cone to top.
While it is still dripping move cone to direct coffee into mug untill filled then return cone to carafe to catch the rest of the coffee.
Add sugar and milk if desired.
You now have a perfect cup of coffee in the same time it would take to make instant.

The newsletter for the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics has an interesting article about postage.
from the article (link goes to page with link to PDF Read "Math 1, Spam 0")
The Penny Black Project instead uses "proofs of work," a concept first introduced in 1992 by Cynthia Dwork and Moni Naor of the IBM Almaden Research Center. The idea is simple: "If I don't know you, you have to prove to me that you spent ten seconds of CPU time just for me, and just for this message," says Dwork, who now works at Microsoft Research. For legitimate senders, spending ten extra seconds to send an e-mail message is no problem. Most of the time, you spend more time than that simply composing the message. But for spammers, those ten seconds are the kiss of death. The one thing that no one can steal is more seconds than there are in a day. For a single computer, the CPU time available in a day amounts to 86,400 seconds; a spammer who wanted to put electronic postage on millions of messages would thus need hundreds of computers. Dwork is betting that most spammers cannot afford that kind of expense. Spam costs almost nothing for a spammer to send, but a recipient who looks at the message and manually deletes it incurs a perceptible cost in lost time.

It would be such a shame to let the Hubble burn up in the atmosphere. I think the proposal to park it next to the ISS would be ideal. In fact why not attach it to the station. It could then be repurposed when it has become obsolete. Imagine the ISS as the nucleus of the first interplanetary craft, it's gonna need long range sensors right?
I was just looking into text only games [Interactive Fiction] recently for the first time in a looooong time. I found some fun ones that were done in the TADS language which is apparently made just for that. The site I downloaded the runtime environment from also had a compiler. Check out tads.org For some background. I think an IF game is a perfect starter for a kid.
You sir are a bore, and should examine yourself for zealotry. I do live in the real world, one that is happily free of you. I have never uttered an unkind word about Linux. True I was unaware of this "feature" but why should I care. As far as facts go, netcraft lists the longest recorded uptime at 1539 days and it is a freeBSD server. Where are your facts coward?

I agree, we need mars. We don't need Bush's dumb-ass moon/mars plan.
Mars Direct!

I am not an eye scientist but I can say you are right because I have witnessed my grandfathers eyes changing from brown to blue as he got older.
Actually it would because it would creata a faraday cage

This no longer works, from the site;
It looks like the New York Times has gotten somewhat wise to the shenanigans going on here

No problem:

is_set($thing)==TRUE;
$number / 2;

It's a joke dumbass. Everybody knows the Times doesn't accept mere mortal sacrafice, only your eternal soul will do for them.

i know, i know, now i'm the dumbass, slashdot ate my less than sign.
poo!
nice psudocode dumbass, it should be

That particular incident happened in 1997.
I surrender,
Linux is good!!
Linux is great!!
I humble my self at the feet of the all powerfull King Linus who commands such legions.

I just looked that up and that word is not in my dictionary. Did you mean 'humor' as in bodily fluid, such as blood, lymph, or bile.
Really? I thought he was that guy who started that meat company, you know Swift premium brown 'N serve...
*smack*
You're not too swift yourself are you?
if it is /.ed it has nothing to do with BSD, take a look at netcrafts listing of longest uptime and tell me what OS you see the most of
