People tend to think of the "worse case scenerio," but it often falls short of this. Yes, escape with your life, but remember that at some point you'll likely want to rebuild it in a civilized society.
Come on, OO's support of Perl has been (as PHP's) added with much use of sledgehammers, even though the object programming paradigm was not built in Lisp (Lisp comes from pure mathematics, and objects just don't have any reality in mathematics), even checking old Lisp code looks OO all over...
Yes, and new dialects of lisp are created these days (check Philip Greenspun's website).
Truth is that people don't use LISP, they'll use Lisp dialects, with more built-in things, and with CLOS (a Lisp Object implementation, to do easier OO in lisp), such as Scheme or Common Lisp.
There is none, since the web is a subset of the Internet
Which was absolutely not my point, I answered to the ggp's assumption that the web and HTML were not interwined (since, from what he said, the web for "non uncommon folks" existed before the birth of HTML), while they are
While the microcancer issue is probably realistic, it would be spotted by the screening tests before the technology goes live.
As for the healthcare costs, cure and pain relieving of cancer cost a damn lot last time I checked, earlier simpler fully generic (read: mass-produced) diagnose tests and a fraction of the previous cures cost (since cancers would be barely born when spotted, years-long cures would more than likely become rarity more than common case) would probably drive the healthcare cost down, not up.
Well, apendicitis and cancer are hardly "insanely rare disorders". Uncommon compared to cramps or flu maybe, but common enough for most people to have family members or friends suffer from them.
Indeed, and yet one can't help but wonder if this wouldn't be integrable to nanochips implanted in one's body to check one's body's evolution in real time.
Some cancers are hard to detect and evolve extremely fast, once the first symptoms show themselves is already too late for the man to have any chance of survival. Having the ability to track cancer's birth and evolution in real time would prove extremely valuable to both patients and medical organisms...
I don't see how so, unless you're using the right CTRL key that is, it's merely the matter of bending my thumb to move it a few inches to the left instead of having it on the ALT key...
Yes, it requires you to use just about 2 more muscles than an ALT-TAB, but I fail to see how "awkward" it is.
Pressing Ctrl-Tab is a lot harder than pressing Alt-Tab.
Yeah, right, the ALT and CTRL buttons are like, at least 0 inches apart, maybe up to 2 if your keyboard has these stupid windows keys, makes a heck of a difference.
As an aside, does anyone know how to change the order of the toolbars in FireFox? I want my bookmarks folder toolbar to be below the google toolbar. Any way to do this? I couldn't find it in the customize menu...
I don't think you can easily (and it's a damn shame, though you can probably do it by fidding in the XUL files *shudder*), but you can probably switch every control from one to the other manually while in Customize mode... if you're not in a hurry that is...
Virtual +1 informative to parent, this tool is a blessing (even though it's nout enough for some extensions) for anyone using 1.5 beta of the 1.6 dev versions
Have you installed any tab-related extension? There are quite a lot out of there, including Tabbrowser Extension, Tabbrowser Preference and TabMix (which are "packages", big extensions with lots of features) and many single feature ones.
Check your extension list for them.
Oh, and I'd advise you to install TabMix Plus (2.4.1 beta) to handle your tabbed browsing needs, it's stable and gives quite a lot of options (TBE is much more configurable, but even it's author considers it as an unstable crash prone piece of junk...)
Depends of the features, I find the Web Developper extension is much more accessible and useable as a toolbar than a contextual menu (it does both), and some toolbars such as the StumbleUpon one can be hidden with a keystroke (CTRL+F9).
Most Firefox toolbar builders are smart enough to at least include an on/off switch button to display/hide theirs even when they don't actually register keystrokes (both platypus and Web Dev Toolbar have one for example)
MSIE's cache blows, MSIE's refresh blows, MSIE has no development tools (no JS console, no JS debugger even remotely close to Venkman, and the recent Web Dev Toolbar is sub-par compared to Chris Pederick's, including the godawful DOM Inspector), MSIE doesn't allow you to see the current (interpreted/DOM-modified) source of your web page, MSIE doesn't allow you to change your CSS on the fly.
Firefox does.
Dev'ing with MSIE is like ripping your arms off before starting to write a book, you can still do it but the extra pain and harshness ain't quite worth it.
Yup, design is nice and Apple is all about design.
Who cares about engineering or materials quality? Materials quality for apple fanboys doesn't go beyond "feels nice when you touch it, looks nice when you see it" anyway.
He's saying that the (still growing) iPod market is in need of music, parts of that music comes from bought CDs and other parts come from electronic music stores such as iTMS, therefore the more iPods are out in the wild, the more people will buy music to feed them.
Basically, iPods sales help the RIAA selling their crapola.
More like don't use VSS at any cost, it's undoubtedly one of the worst version management tools out there, with no features, no concurrent edits of files, no versioning of folders or whole trees (if a file is dead it's dead forever), and the VSS tool itself isn't even nice to use...
Hell, I'm not even sure VSS features the ability to implement triggers to the repository...

I thought that the invention of the blog was made for the REpressed views and opinions of the average person not outgoing enough to make their voice heard in a public forum. The blog was invented to draw attention TO the publisher, not away - making him/her anonymous.
Nay, the blog is supposed to draw attention to the publisher's opinion (if he has any, that is, otherwise he's just one more attention whore in the intarweb), to allow him to express said opinion and have it noticed instead of just being a lost voice in the background noise.

No you won't, you'll want a harem.

As John Foderaro worded it,

As in Philip Greenspun's 10th Rule of Programming you mean?

Congratulation, you don't seem to see the difference between "the web" and "the internet"
Thing is, the web didn't indeed exist before the birth of HTML, the internet, on the other hand, did.
Thank you sir, that quote is wonderful and I shall save the author and the text somewhere for they made my day.
