I was thinking more along the lines of the end of journalism as we know it..
If everyone were to write like a slashdot story our world would be 30% more entertaining.
I don't see to many "Geeks" Mountain Biking but there is a saddle company (a good one mind you) whose name is fi'zi:k the problem for me is that how the fuck should I know what the domain name for a company like that is? fiiziik.com or fizik.com it's actually fizik.it, but still: what the hell.. go to yahoo!.com and you are fuct.. We take for granted that we would never dream of doing something so stupid as this, but think of the countless cyber-illiterate people who are on hotbot because they couldn't get to yahoo!.com

We have a pretty good setup on our site that is running perl, php3 and PHP4.
I like using perl for anything that will be behind the scenes on a web site and for jobs that will be run once a day etc.. (note: headline grabbers etc..). all our files named php3 are run by PHP3 and files named *.php are run by PHP4 and *.pl and *.cgi etc.. are PERL.. it is indeed possible and even neccessary to run both
For those of you that don't know here the PHP Manual is it's: HERE also use the errata it's very convenient to see other peoples examples. Even emailing them at times is helpful I have about 5 people email me a week with questions and I always try to help them.
And finally what there is a lot of open source code in PHP that is incredibly usefull. My own for an example. My Most popular one is: Jack's Formmail.php a PHP clone of Matt Wright's Formmail..
I've have had several linux installs and I have one on the computer I am working on now...
but anyway most people say CMYK and I am dyslexic so I am allowed to get letters mixed up and in fact most people in the print industry call it 4-colour, there is realy no argument here.
First I have to say that I am completely pro free software on the internet and I appreciate everything that the Gimp stands for but: I have tried many graphic programs including PSP and Photoshop as well as Gimp but there is something about gimp that is straight up awkward! I can't seem to get the feel of it. Knowing your software in very important when working with graphics.
A complete rewrite may fix these issues.
The second thing is that if I was to use Gimp there would be no reason for me not to use Linux which then causes a new issue; I don't know what it is maybe it's my settings but I can't work well with my mouse in a linux environment I think it has something to do with the refresh rate. Now why I use ImageMagick instead of gimp for web based is as simple as this.. ImageMagick gets to the point gimp on the other hand (as convenient as it may be for some people) has way to many advanced features which then makes it way more complicated than it needs to be or than I want it. Also the support for CMYK.
Consider the following: When you really think about it it's beneficial to the "Linux community". Because of Red Hat that there are more linux users.. which is a good thing. I consider my self a good web programmer.. my clients do what ever I say.. untill I got a hold of redhat I was having everyone of them on a NT host.. now I know enough about linux to recommend the useage of it which I would have never been able to do with one day going out and bying the redhat box and installing it and running it. Sure now I would rather use Debian but with out Red Hat I would be spending thousands a month of Microsoft Products.
This can not be a finished product! Not only is it painfully buggy but it seems incomplete. The activation program is full of it! It is so full of bugs it makes MS Win 63k look good. and why do I have to have a screen name to get into netscape? and who the hell said that netscape could have a buddy list in it.. eww! I don't want that god damn side bar.. if this is a finished product then we have a problem.. serious bugs.. I AM DISAPPOINTED.. although the some of the DHTML and style features that never used to work now do.!
Does that mean that every time some freaking coke-head makes an order he is violating Coca-Cola's TM? Cuz in that case I'm screwed.. But on a more serious note; Coca Cola would have to have a Trade Mark in Switzerland to be able to take action on this case would they not? Do they have one?
Alright you perverted kids.. The Chick is Krista Allen and She has starred in many lame ass Soaps as well as a softcore series called Emanuelle in Space.. in which she proved that she can act as good as a porn star.. although she did do good in Liar Liar in which she was the Busty Woman on the elevator that Jim Carrey was Harrassing just enough to make her slap him.. but anyway
Give it a week there'll be a PHP3 version

somebody out there has got to be building one.. We got pretty close but we didn't need all the features for ours at dtheatre.com but there are a lot of people building little slash clones everywhere..
I built the dtheatre.com code with Killbot up there and I was a firm believer in Perl some one would ask me to check the time I would make a perl script to do it.. but now I have converted all the way to PHP3 (PHP.NET) I still use perl for NT based sites and for some basic scripts like say a news headline grabber etc and it has far better regular expressions than anyone else.. but for everything else there's PHP3
Martin based his humor on misery and misfortune, to crack "sick" jokes. The magazine dubbed him "Mad's Maddest Cartoonist." The guy poisoning pigeons in the park - "I hate pigeons" - winds up killing the people who gather around to sample his scrumptious popcorn. Mona Lisa, as the reader realizes only in the last frame of the strip, is sitting on a toilet. Hapless boobs with big feet get squashed in all manner of ways.
"There's always been physical suffering in comedy," he once said. "Even ancient clowns kicked each other in the seat of the pants or hit each other over the head. It's the same thing in our time, just a little stronger."
The cartoons had a vocabulary all their own. "SHKLIP" was the sound made when construction workers tossed concrete at each other. "SPLOP" described a surgeon throwing body parts into a doggie bag. "FAGROON" came from a collapsing skyscraper.
His license plate read "SHTOINK."
"Is it funny? That's the only test I know when it comes to cartooning," Martin once said. "Not whether it's sick, or whether it's going to ruin people's values or morals. You only have to ask a simple question: 'Is it funny?'"
His twisted approach influenced generations of younger cartoonists.
"Don Martin was the one who really stood out," "The Far Side" cartoonist Gary Larson told The Miami Herald in a story published in 1990. "I really always loved his work. He was such a great artist."
Martin left Mad magazine in 1987 after a falling-out with its publisher, the late William Gaines, accepting a job at Cracked, a competitor.
Martin chafed at the tradition that Mad, like most publishers, retained all rights to reprint and profit from his work that it used, paying him on a free-lance basis. But he put out paperbacks of cartoons not published in the magazine, eventually selling more than 7 million copies.
Martin drew despite a degenerative eye condition that forced him to undergo cornea transplants, wear special, highly uncomfortable contact lenses and use a magnifying glass while drawing.
"He was a shy and retiring sort of guy, considering he drew a comic strip that was crazy," said a longtime friend, Laurence Donovan.
Martin was born in Clifton, N.J., and began his undergraduate work at the Newark Institute. He earned a fine arts degree from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. He began submitting drawings to the fledgling Mad magazine in the mid-50s.
