Re:BSD Unification the Savior?

On: Theo de Raadt Discusses OpenBSD and Beyond

FreeBSD aims to produce a good desktop system,

NetBSD aims to be portable across many platforms..

They can't all unite because of their very different focuses (and ego issues..)

Hm.. Strange. I run KDE with 256mb of memory, and it is snappy. And we know what a monster it is... GNOME and Xfce always worked fine too...

PHP

On: IBM Backs PHP for Web Development

Personaly, I love the PHP+MySQL combination because it enables me to get the job done. Fast That is the main advantage of PHP, quick development. My main gripe about PHP is that there is now unified DB abstraction layer (although ADOdb is great). But, I just learned that it is a planned feature for PHP 5.1, see quote:

Already confirmed for PHP 5.1 is the PHP Data Objects extension (PDO), which unifies the various database APIs so that you can just call pdo_query() rather than mysql_query(), pgsql_query(), or any of the others. It won't replace PEAR::DB because it doesn't abstract the SQL dialects being used, but it will instead complement PEAR::DB. We're also expecting big speed improvements in PHP 5.1, and not just in any single area - all sorts of calls, from switch/case statements to the sort() function and class autoloading are all improved.

Does anyone know when will it be out?

1) Add a real JDO/ADO.NET-like database layer This is planed for PHP 5.1

Tip: Use SafeSQL in all your scripts, sql injection attacks are not pleasant :)

For all of you who don't know what is a DS, it is Nintendo's new handheld game console.
It has two screens (Dual Screens - DS) and some mighty hardware.It's main rival will be Sony PSP.
For more information, just google arround a bit.
