Another thing you have available with perl that isn't anywhere else I'm aware of, is the ability to create a crippled interpreter that does not have access to certain classes of functions (forking or command execution for instance) to use to run an untrusted script. Here is a quote from the FAQ for the Penguin module on CPAN: it can act just like java does, except with a vastly improved security model
Yes. ptrace can provide a freeze/unfreeze, if you can marshall the open pipes somehow; with a "hibernate" system call that shut everything down in a resumable state you could resume from a new kernel with your uptime intact
Additionally it seems that the promise of modularity, which is that you will only need to get the upgrades for your particular hardware, is not being kept at all; I find myself downloading millions of lines of code to fix problems with hardware I do not own when all I want is one particular feature.
I wonder how tricky it would be to make a database that you could upload your.config file to and download the patches pertaining to what you will actually build... Comments?
ha ha, it will be the;-) of the future --- imagine what this will do for IRC or alt.sex.*...

Torono gets called "toronto, canada" to keep the idiots among us (you know, the new hires at the GW2K helpdesk who transfer calls from new mexico to the international line) from thinking that Ontario is one of the untied states.
Sort your phone book to reduce search time from N/2 to log2(N). No decent looker-upper system will do more than twenty comparisons to find one entry from among a million.

No setup whatsoever. I will handle your credit card for you (Well Kagi will, actually, at this time, but you don't even need to register with Kagi)
The goal of tipjar is and has been since 1996 to provide a virtual equivalent of the ability to drop coins into musician's instrument cases without requiring download of any additional software by anyone.

Remember the bif foofaraw about Digital suing Intel over patent infringement? The reason NT was ported to the Alpha chip was for the speed. Now the pentia (and other intel offerings) have the speed too. The lab full of NT multias had that little steel tube screensaver chugging around faster than it chugged around on the 486es. This is no longer the case.
