As a RISC OS user I really love the idea of App dirs.
OTOH they don't solve every single problem, for example RISC OS had (and probably still has) its own version of DLL hell. Some applications required more recent modules (kind of DLL) and often this meant that !System (the App dir for Operating System related stuff) had to me updated. There was even a !SysMerg program to assist in this.
Yet there was (badly written I hear you say) software that relied on a specific version of a Module.

How do you want to program PHP without PHP?
But serious developers should give PHP some serious thought. It's certainly not always the best option, and I doubt it often comes close.
If Apple is stupid enough to not sell the OS separate I don't wish them luck.
It will be on BitTorrent by the end of this year, and running on millions of PCs in a few months.
Doesn't need those 3 LEDs, nor the print near to them, nor the name of the company on the keyboard. A true elite knows the name, or doesn't consider it important:-)
The number of installs is unknown of course. Some people download for every computer they own, some download the same version twice. Some burn it on CD and install it on 200+ machines. Some upload it over MSN, etc, etc.
Uhm... RISC OS 3.11 with some redesigned icons?
It would be nifty if the good ideas of RISC OS were available, and the not so good ideas replaced.
I had always the impression that KDE is just a mix of ideas borrowed from everywhere. And instead in being better, it's below average. Just my opinion, and based on an older version of KDE which might be blamed on the distributions I've been using.
Also, a suggestion, drop the "application has to start with K" thing. It's even more annoying then !Draw, !Paint, !Edit on RISC OS.

A programmer who uses map {} map {} map {} has more problems than just understanding $_
If your regex stuff goes "off the page"... I really hope I don't have to maintain that code (e.g. I read it as 100+ regexps, not one big regexp).
Moreover:
for ( $string ) {
s/.../.../... : : : s/.../.../... }
makes code only more readable.

That's just plain stupid. Any style guide with limiting rules as given above is severly flawed.

-w should be replaced with:

Also, personally I prefer to use the full path to (a (symbolic) link to) Perl.

Next time you use Firefox, press / and type what you want to find in the page.

My point :-)
Moreover, how much of the world population does actually drink milk? If I remember correctly, a lot of people are lactose intolerant.

The question is: is milk good for you? My GP in Holland said to me: in Holland, milk is good for you because "we" have so much of it.
As soon as that happens people start to mod_rewrite their URLs. So in short: no go.

As you already explained: that one can write shitty code doesn't mean one has too. Moreover, I haven't seen any language yet that guides one to write any algorithm in such a way that comments are not needed. There is no programming language that thinks for you. Perl's major problem is the huge number of people who learned it by just peeking at a CGI script and tweaking it to their needs. Same holds for PHP, and hey, isn't the quality of code quite similar? I recently had a long winding discussion with someone who complained how bad Perl was designed (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.pyt hon/messages/7e74fc5dd24047a1,4434b5a10d0e32f8,142 2dd275c9c6e3a,3547b6a0a71c1dfd,dce98f843551d487,dc 30957084149f8e,0fc2b0d1cc84a2c2,4eb114d062008987,d 0257059b4c0f09b,de6a3819b19098d3?hl=en&thread_id=6 d65bbac956ebbb0&mode=thread&noheader=1&q=bokma+per l+skills+python&_done=%2Fgroup%2Fcomp.lang.python% 2Fbrowse_frm%2Fthread%2F6d65bbac956ebbb0%2F4ff432e af904ac53%3Fq%3Dbokma+perl+skills+python%26rnum%3D 2%26#doc_dc30957084149f8e but after some time I got the feeling that just his Perl skills were severly limited.
