I just think about how easy it is to create something with PHP. Not necessarily the death throws of Perl. I started with CGI and Perl, and did quite a lot of it many years ago. I've worked with ASP too; I liked the flow of it, but it was too microsoft centric. When I came to doing web programming again, PHP was what was available, and I LIKE IT! Very powerful.
Any language that has a 4000 page Help document that is extremely easy to use and find information, is an excellent programming language.
Thankfuly they dont make Automated External Defibrillators. I dont understand how people can create devices to restart someone's heart, (completely unattended!) with 100% accuracy, but cannot create a voting system that is as accurate.
Having development environments like KDevelop and Glade are very important to the linux desktop. If these programs had more point-and-click UI design features, it would allow anyone with basic programming experience to put together a program. It's both good and bad to have this in linux though; it allows almost anyone to point and click an application together, and this will help corporations utilize a linux desktop. It also allows for the same problems that windows development has: lack of granularity in visual basic and really bad, unoriginal programs.
I think improving the visual part of KDevelop and Glade is very important. I also think leaving C/C++ and possibly Java as the languages in which the applications are written is preferable. C# is simply Java by Microsoft.
It would also be nice to have a development environment that allowed any language to drive the UI.
If you want warm up noises, try the HP 4500 Color Laserjet. Its loud, and takes 4 minutes to warm up. You want a printout quickly, No Way! But it gives great color printouts at an affordable price. I recently got one used and am very happy with it. I just have plan my schedule around the warmup times.
I remember reading Guiness Book of World records as a kid, 20 years ago, and things have changed a lot. I'm sure the technology section has expanded considerably. Plus, thats a really cool hard drive. its so tiny!
I thought it was an extremely ingenious way of solving the problem of getting the tumor out. I wonder if he went to undergraduate school for engineering.
This sounds interesting. The economy is in the crapper anyway. If the country went to war, I'd rather be working for the government doing code breaking or electronic warfare than working in a factory or be given a rifle.
That sounds similar to how AMD names their CPUs, and frankly I never understood what they really meant in terms of one being better than another. How about giving the power of a CPU in gigaflops?
While no measure can be truely accurate, the number of floating point operations a CPU can do per second is a more accurate judge of cpu power than the clock speed.
I'm glad Intel is choosing to use a different naming convention, hopefuly it will be something more meaningful.
Theres a big difference between using IP from a source for your own benefit, but its another thing to use that IP to make money for yourself. Neither of which are particularly good.
If you listen music you downloaded from the internet for free, its not the same as copying a CD and selling it with a copied cover.
I'm not saying that copying music for your own use is a good thing to do, but its not nearly as bad as selling something that you've copied as your own.
I thought it said "Robocop" until I saw the picture in the article, and realized it was NOT the movie that was being released in Hong Kong. Thank goodness, because those were bad movies. I couldn't imagine Robocop teaching children how to fight crime..
How much farther is the edge of the universe? They haven't seem to have found it yet, and they keep pushing back the estimates of the big bang. One of three things are possible:
1) The universe is a lot older than we thought
2) There was no big bang, and space is infinite
3) Space curves back on itself
It's just interesting that each time they release pictures from really really deep space, they have to revise the estimate for the time of the big bang.
Generally, google finds the pages that the authors want to be searched. Thats why you submit your site to google. Even if you dont submit your site to google, if it's on a domain that google searches and there is a link to it, it'll be found.
With google storing more than 4 billion web pages, I'd hate to see what kind of crap the other 99% is.
Perhaps they count each iteration of a dynamic page as a seperate page? Even so, google's news page does a great job searching in real time for pages that change dynamicaly.
I'd like to see the price of toner and ink cartridges go down. Those things seem so simple, I wonder why they are so expensive. A memory chip seems slightly more expensive to produce than an ink cartridge. Yet the prices are very similar.
What about the serial numbers on each bill? Wouldn't they end up with each bill having different numbers?
Also, in the US, its not the banks that redeem destroyed money, its a division of the bureau of engraving and printing. It's interesting stuff. I'd find it hard to beleive you could pull some kind of scheme with them.

Holy f-ing shiat is right! G-d dang mother f-ing biatches. Sumbitches. I mean G. D. and Jesus H Christopher, mary and joseph.
Oh FUDGE!! I've done said a bad word.

That is a great book. Richard Preston also wrote "Demon in the Freezer". Robin Cook also writes some good books.

I get about 30 junk mails a day that I would love to send him.
Seriously, maybe these junk mail companies could send their crap to just HIM and the other nuts like him?

I thought this cartoon was hilarious... and somewhat appropriate to the parent post.
I wonder if clothing made from this stuff would be itchy. Like wool.

Their rendering software would have to run on Mac OS X...
oh wait, Mac runs Linux. OK! fine with me.

... or they can crank up the volume and slowly lose their hearing because the sounds are so much louder since they are right next to the ear drum.
There are some things that I just don't want Microsoft to see in my daily routines. Some of which occur in front of my computer...
Oh no... not super grannies! Kids giving their grandparents jars to open... I know where this is going!

There is a bakery in my town that sells ONLY dog treats. They are in the shape of cookies, pastries, cakes, etc. But they're for dogs.
It is sad, but if money can be made doing it, I'm sure someone will.
