Do you know how pointless it would be to transcode a lossy format to a lossless one? It is a complete waste of space regardless of how much space you have available initially.
What if you're said boss and need to pick out some possible frameworks for use? Somebody has to make the decision somewhere along the line of management.
IBM screwed itself over twice regarding Microsoft. First, they rejected DOS, and Gates ended up buying that, thus creating MS-DOS. Later on, IBM was able to develop from Windows something, but they didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

It seems to be another SQL abstraction set of classes from a PHP5 framework of sorts. It was the first one I heard today, so I thought that maybe I'd get lucky with a guess.
Technically, I'd consider old code that breaks under new releases to be unstable. PHP isn't Java; it isn't hard to maintain compatibility (as the standard for that doesn't change too often)...
Although, I still can't find a decent set of classes to generate cross-database SQL queries. Anything I've found has been way too bloated (e.g. integration with a bazillion PEAR classes, extending classes to make actual objects, etc), and the closest thing I've found so far is something I wrote in the first place, so it looks like I'm screwed here...

What's wrong with a reference to a reference? If I wanted to use the C code "int *******i;", I could, and nothing would bitch at me (other than humans). Besides, =& looks better as it distinguishes an object from a primitive, and it looks like a confused emoticon.

PHP will eventually get all that J2EE goodness. Take a look at the trunk (PHP 6) for examples.
How do you determine the "stability" of a PHP release? Unless there are regressions between releases, each new release is technically more stable than the last (hence the point of incremental releases).
PHP5 uses MySQLi which has both a procedural and object-oriented interface, and it supports features from MySQL 4 and 5 such as transactions and stored procedures. The old MySQL libraries are technically for MySQL 3, so there's not much need for those anymore.
Then there are PHP Data Objects for a unified database interface (although it is a bit primitive when compared to PEAR DB and other DBIs).
This is what frameworks are for. Security and performance conscious people like myself write them so that other neophytes and developers alike can make good PHP apps without worrying about those things.
I guess you're too young to know this, but real movie pirates are selling physical DVDs at low prices. It's like high quality bootlegging. These people are making good money off of this, yet all this BS DRM isn't going to stop them in the least. People who upload ripped movies and shit aren't pirates; they're copyright infringers at most. They're not even making money off of said movies at least 99% of the time...

W3C invented the blockquote tag ages ago; use it.
Anything above U+00FF won't display in ISO-8859-1. NEXT!

Care to give an example on how it can play digitally restricted AAC?
Once you get to the pillow part it becomes a bit outrageous, so I'd recommend to stretch the preparations for maximum hilarity.
If you're editting a bunch of buffers in Vim (or vi I'd assume), then yes oddly enough...
Gopher still exists, and Firefox has full support for it.
Dude, the touchpad gives you bragging rights when playing FPS. "You just got owned by a touchpad mouse!" Extremely humiliating...
Is this a subtle jab at MySpace as well? If so, roffles.

Was it Road Runner they provided? Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm remembering a bunch more larger ISPs than I thought existed...
I thought we called it *nix because Unix is a registered trademark, so we censor ourselves. It's like saying "f*ck" as opposed to "fuck"...

Does this have anything to do with OSQL?

But something like DVD players would have most certainly been patented, so cheap knock-offs would've been illegal without licensing anyways...
I'm sure they'll waive liability in some obscure enclosed EULA that wouldn't hold up in court.
