Have you heard of Miva? Miva is almost exactly like CF except that instead of CF in the beginning of every tag, it uses Mv instead. I have only played around for a few hours with CF, but have spend several hundred writing and debugging Miva code.
I can tell you that after working so long with Miva, PHP begins to look bizarre and with strange syntax. It would be difficult to switch between to extensive work with both at the same time.
A big decider is what programming work you have done before. CF and Miva are easier to learn if you had little programming experience, whereas PHP looks so much like C that it is quick to pick up for experienced programmers.
The coding style for CF and Miva may not be what your'e used to, but that does not make them less functional.
Oh, someone who reads that site did something nice to us, so we'll let some other unrelated readers post licensed material without the license? Give me a break, you'd do the same thing.
Its not censorship... its a lameness filter. It doesn't cover up what you say, it just prevents you from saying it in ALL CAPS. Or from saying it several hundred times.
NASA does not exist to please you. NASA exists to learn more about space. Unlike ignorant tards, NASA doing RESEARCH does not strike me as a waste of money.
If you are referring the F117-A Stealth Fighter in your comment that radar likes round things, well that is not exactly true.
The Stealth Fighter was designed using 70s technology. They had to compute out all the angles by hand, which means that all the sides are flat. The Stealth Bomber has a more rounded shape because a computer was used to design it, and the computer was much more efficient than humans and could work with curves. However, both systems work the same way. They are designed to leave a very small radar print not because they don't have round edges, but because of the way the radar bounces off of them. This, combined with a special paint, helps leave a radar image about the size of a horsefly. I do not know this because I am a researcher at Lockheed, I know this becuase I watch Wings on the Discovery Channel.
The ground based dish is the biggest we have (305 meters/1000 feet diameter). As it is in an _asteroid belt_ it is not heading towards Earth. In fact, it is in orbit around our sun, the same as we are. The chief scientist even went so far as to say that it is not directed at Earth, which just shows you that when media mentions asteroid people automatically assume "COLLISION!". The Earth is very small. We do not have an asteroid magnet inside us. All the asteroids in the galaxy are not aimed at our planet.
Well.. this is first image of a Main-belt asteroid, which means its in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. We have not had a picture of one of these before. This is the first one. Also important is its shape (which if you read the article you'd know why). The astronomers who found it said that they have no good explanation of how it could take its current shape.
Wait... hmm. It seems that water and air won't be so much of a problem after all. The radar detected an asteroid that is supposed to be "water-rich". [http://echo.jpl.nasa.gov/~ostro/KY26/index.html] I don't know how close they are, but it would seem that if there is water, air is only a step away, so this asteroid would be a better candidate for hollowing out.
Some reasons why we can't just yet do that: -No air on asteroid -No feasable way to get people there... yet -No water on asteroid -Asteroid in orbit with other asteroids
So all we need to do is figure out some way to turn iron in oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon and we're set... at least as far as living on it. I imagine it would take several years to hollow out such a large volume of metal, not to mention getting such a large team to the asteroid (or the asteroid to the large team). I believe we don't quite have the technology needed... yet.
Well most people only care about those things to the point where they are currently hurting them. This is because planning for the future is too stressful for most people. Including me.
Please stop using Chemical XYZ in your production plants. I know that you have no alternatives, and your entire business would stop if you could not use this chemical, but some scientists think that prolonged exposure to Chemical XYZ in large amounts may cause cancer in dogs. I really love my fluffy, so please stop. I know that you use only minute amounts, but just to be safe I would really appreciate it if you stopped using your toxic chemicals. Thank you very much,

You dont make sense.

Praised be Allah!
That would involve building a refining plant in space... that still seems rather expensive to me.
Congratulations on repeating almost exactly what I said on the post above yours.
Before asteroid mining will be feasible, the price must drop below that of mining on Earth. That wont be for quite some time.
Be a man. 2400 baud! The way the internet was supposed to be. (Viva slashdot light mode.)
I believe you mean Kleopatra 216.
Does MSNBC have a sense of humor or are they complete idiots?
I like how you think.

I care. I find this very interesting. I am not an astronomer.
As to why you are talking about radar... I dont quite see how thats relevant.
The ground based dish is the biggest we have (305 meters/1000 feet diameter). As it is in an _asteroid belt_ it is not heading towards Earth.

Why thank you!

Oh yes all those exploding batteries. You should make a press release!
