Ah but can't you see, the reason they are abusing OpenID is because the freedom OpenID provides. Free communities can always be raided by greedy entities, and the only thing stopping them is public backslash, think prisoner game. You have to convince everybody to NOT accept OpenIDs from specific sites, an OpenID blacklist if you will, I'm all for it actually.
And imagine how much OSS would advance if hackers didn't have to take a day job. So it cuts both ways. In reality of course there isn't such a thing as pure capitalism or communism, there is public welfare in America and you had to work in Soviet Russia to get a living.
May we find the right balance between both concepts. I think as technology advances and we move away from scarcity economics socialist policies will make more and more sense. It's artificial scarcity what's bringing the most problems nowadays.
Anyway what were we talking about? Oh yeah Minesweeper! I hate when there's multiple solutions...
Personally I think the real benefit of the homebrew is to unleash the full potential of your hardware, if the Wii can be used as a lan video player, alarm clock, net jukebox, or just a simple file manager then you should be able to make it do so.
Ok, I should have been more explicit. My complaint is that there isn't a good reason for using three diferent syntax where one would have been enough nor there is a good reason to use "$" only for variables but not on classes or namespaces.
I know, it allows us to have a variable, a class and a namespace with the same name but we don't really do that anyway, we use different naming conventions, etc.
Umm i propose a new tag for these kinds of experiments, that we should try it and see what happens because 'itscoolregardless' of what may come. (And if it works it going to be literally cool)
The problem is that the "No original research" is at odds with the older and greater principle of "being bold".
Wikipedia's mayor strength is not that anyone can write in it but that anyone can edit out what's wrong.
You don't rely on the citation to be god given, you rely on the community to sort things out. In fact the whole Web 2.0 paradigm is based on the idea that most people are well intentioned.
Original research should be no problem in a self healing wiki. [citation needed]
is a good way of saying "we don't believe this" but lately entire sections are taken out of articles just because of lack of citations. Like TFS says, being truth and getting consensus is not enough... it must be lifted from some where else to be true.
Also if you grow up watching anthropomorphic animals you may dream in anthropomorphic animals, I bet the Japanese dream in anime heck I bet some dream in *manga* complete with onomatopoeia.
Could you please stop lumping me with the superstitious?
Regardless of what direction the universe started moving to in the beginning, the statement "stuff comes from nowhere" is a given, weather matter comes from the center or the edge of the universe doesn't change that, and I don't see why "all the matter of the universe just so happened to be inside a volume the size of an atom" is inherently more logical and natural than just saying "matter happened".
AFAIK, the motivation for the Big Bang theory is the explosion like shape of the universe but if any volume of matter arranges itself in the same shape under gravitational forces naturally, then The Bang might just be "optional" and under Occam's I might chop it off.
IF there is a good reason to believe in a Bang and I'm not suggesting at all there isn't just tell me just please don't call me a Christian for Christ's sake.
What I'm talking about is, what if instead of a finite universe with a clear beginning and initial shape -the Big Bang of a Singularity- the universe may consist of a stream of matter, constantly flowing from the edge and "falling into" a center? a kind of waterfall universe.
In the words of Richard Dawkins, the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.
IANAA (I Am Not An Astrophysicist) but what if there never was a Big Bang? The Universe started as a continuum of random information that just suddenly came to existence (or suddenly started to physically interact, or was suddenly transported from another universe or leaked whatever)
I mean, we AFAIK we have no other reason to suspect a big bang than the fact that the universe has a apparent center an that matter is running away from it.
If the center was simply the "Schwarzschild center" of a large body of mass and the "run away" effect is caused by relativistic contortions... maybe there wasn't a Big Bang after all...
Given that most recent studies have determined conservatives to be coward, violent and unadaptable as well as uncaring, and even kind of stupid, being messy doesn't seem that bad in comparison.

Yes, next question.

That would be version 9 Windows Entropy (tm)

Epic thread if I have ever seen one is indeed, is epic.
Google has never heard of magic_namespaces what are those?.
"$" is used on an instance of a class.
I know that, but that "$" is still superfluous the same could be achieved by writing:
user = new UserClass;
user->load(_REQUEST['id']);
echo "Hello {user->firstName}";
Oh and interpolation makes a dedicated concatenation operator irrelevant but I'm not complaining about that.

And this is (one of) the many reasons PHP sucks:
Java:
Attribute/Method access: foo.bar
Static method access: Foo.bar
Package access: foo.bar.baz
C#:
Attribute/Method access: foo.bar
Static method access: Foo.bar
Namespace access: foo.bar.baz
Python:
Attribute/Method access: foo.bar
Static method access: Foo.bar
Module access: foo.bar.baz
PHP:
Attribute/Method access: $foo->bar
Static method access: Foo::bar
Namespace access: foo\bar\baz
I think Star trek has enough problems with space, time and continuity without the need for anti-matter.

Anyone has a better tag idea?

You should have a talk with this guy, he affectionately mocks polyphasic sleepers and says polyphasic sleep is detrimental.

But AIW us *meant* to be read on shrooms, the book is full of them as well.
I've had dreams and python and *nightmares* in Fox-pro. I have also dreamed in tetris, axelay, metroid and paneru-de-pon.
Yes.
Also if you grow up watching anthropomorphic animals you may dream in anthropomorphic animals, I bet the Japanese dream in anime heck I bet some dream in *manga* complete with onomatopoeia.
Don't be silly, corporations ain't no people, there are some minimal requirements like a heart and minimal morality.
When I first found TV Tropes I felt like I was trapped in a time loop.
You are doing it wrong, think TV Tropes.
