no, proves instead of being dead it's stagnant. Perl 5.x lingers like scent of dead skunk under the porch while the Frankenstein of Perl 6 is still on the mad scientist's table, metaphorically getting body parts sewn on from morgues and cemeteries and hospitals across the globe. Perl 6 is the undead Creeper of programming languages
netcraft didn't confirm but Perl is dying
on
Perl 5.11.0 Released
·
· Score: -1, Troll
Once the king of the scripting languages, too many better competitors with powerful features have sprung up, and we're still stuck with Perl 5 limitations. Perl 6 started in 2000, still not released and the 20-oughts decade is almost over. Way too many features thrown into that hodge-podge specification and overall way too complex. In short, with Perl 6 (should it ever really actually go out of pre-release status) the already crufty syntax of Perl 5 is going from "whale guts" to "its raining whales".
Larry is old enough we should start placing bets, does he die before Perl 6 comes out? does Perl die even before he does? Should Perl 6 be euthanized? should Larry? ok, just kidding with that last bit
and you imagine stupid things like "no-fly" lists based on *names* or all that hassle at the airport somehow keeps "crazy fuckers" from blowing ypu up? Or maybe you think the FBI actually accomplished something recently when it recruited loser punks, riled them up to have anti-american viewers, helpfully suggested plans and targets, gave them fake supplies and then arrested them? haha! get a clue, that's just useless security theater, does nothing.
that's a theory, that methane is broken down into hydrogen and diamonds at extreme depth, and that the release of gravitational potential energy from the diamonds falling inward is why Neptune radiates more than twice the energy it receives from the Sun. But other theories for Neptune's heat exist, including radioactivity in its core.
you're sounding like someone who has one type of application in mind. my employer mainly deals in systems that handle money, speed is NOT the primary consideration, nor is memory or cpu foot print as hardware is such a small part of project budget they will get however much many boxes and however much cpu/ram the application wants. Anything in the distro that supports the app will be installed from packages, no compiling of distro-provided things will be done except in the most extraordinary situations.
Priorities are certfied/supported by application and driver/device vendors, long term support time, stability, ease of management. This is typical financial business mindset.
in trying to figure out how the earth's temperature could have risen so much 55 million years ago, scientists found embarrassing holes in global warming theory. In their models they were pushing the concentration of CO2 to 2000 ppm but found it would only raise the average global temperature about 3.5 degrees C
in short, our hysteria over co2 levels is not warranted at all. we need to be looking at what has REALLY changed drastically in the last couple hundred years. Such as earth's magnetic field dropping 15% coupled with extremely high solar wind levels. Such as sun going very quiet in last 2 years and earth's average temperature dropping rapidly in response.
reality doesn't support your assertions and hand-wringing. The norm is for "the game" on the earth to change very rapidly.
In the last mere 250,000 years the earth's climate has changed rapidly and drastically, almost 20 degree F range variation in times as short as a couple decades! and all that without a single coal-fired plant on the planet. In fact, civilization has arisen during a quite abnormal period of stability.
Especially silly to fret when for the last 150 years we've gone to extreme solar activity and then in past two years sun unusually quiet (and global average temperatures are down, while the oceans lag that since they are the heat stores for the planet). Over last 150 years earth's magnetic field has dropped 15% while solar wind went to a high, no wonder the poles are melting!
But instead the religious fad of man-made global warming destroying the planet has dominated news and more importantly funding, the difference between junk-science and accepted-science is how much of the herd bleats in response.
there is no shortage of energy in the universe, so I reject the notion of making sacrifices for your environment-god. the world has been much colder and much hotter than it is now, carbon dioxide concentrations many times what they are now. life adapts. humans are natural, anything humans do is by definition natural. humans are the most important thing in this world, no mere animal or group of animals is as important as humans.
fuck man-hating enviro-nazis and their religion. if they believe man is a burden and curse on the universe, they can make a sacrifice and hurl themselves off a cliff.
well, you have two situations there. if boss is a salesman, you've agreed to work for the kind of person who is generally a lying sack of shit who blows sunshine up people's asses for a living. you shouldn't complain then, but also shouldn't take anything that comes out of their mouth seriously either, they're blow-hards.
if boss is owner, their business will fail if they have unrealistic expectations of miracles.
anyway, the healthy attitude is not to fear job termination or threats of same.
hahaha. you know, I once had a boss that would make stupid statements like that, how he could have done xyz in minutes. one day I threw the keyboard at him and said, "you are full of shit, show me!" that stopped his b.s. bragging to me at least, though he continued to b.s. everyone else.
my employer knows I can whip out a fast 4,000 line (but ugly, no artistic talent) web portal or e-commerce app in a month when it should be a 20K line project done by a team, so that's what we do. dangerous I think, we handle real money with that shit.
I totally agree with you that anal sex doesn't distinguish between sexual orientation, risks are the same. But what group does it statistically more often, homosexual or heterosexual? Fact is most women do not do it, and most who try it do not enjoy it.
So you accuse someone who points out reality as a bigot?
Maybe I was just suggesting that everyone should practice safe sex, especially in the more risky activities, and things would be better?
hope you aren't buying into the lie that "90% of guns in mexico are coming from the u.s." That bullshit has been spewed by the back-pedaling liar Barack Obama and the BATF. The actual truth behind that distorted statistic is that most guns in mexico are from non-u.s. sources that can't be traced (Russia, South America, etc). A fraction of those could be traced, less than 20%, and 90% of those came from the U.S.
all then there is all this talk of "it's not a gay disease", yes it is, unprotected homosexual ass sex more than anything else is largely responsible for bringing the disease into the population and even the rise in HIV infections in women is mostly from men who also do gay sex
The truth: AIDS, the gay disease, spread by homosexual anal sex.
there are softwares that only run well on Mac, and the two macs (four and six years old) at my house don't have hardware problems. businesses don't care about your backlight replacement struggles, they can 3 year applecare protection like God or was it Steve Jobs intended
Now that NetRestore is going the way of the dodo, is there anything out there better that Apple Software Restore, it is pain in butt because another boot disk is needed, NetBoot sets without NetRestore more work

uh huh, then there's @array=qw(its whale guts) or @array=("its","whale","guts")
behold the whale guts!

But don't be disappointed if there aren't diamonds on Neptune, there's always BPM 37093 to think about: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3492919.stm
I'll bet Mercury smells nice because of all that myrrh

you know nothing of engineering if you think engineering is making risk analysis or (hahaha) getting design sign-off by the ignorant.
At least I do regression and unit tests, that's a part of real engineering.
And I do come from engineering background, of real objects. Maybe that's why my quick and dirty wares actually perform function reliably.

quite correct, had he found some that would have been Rule 34
such things are totally outside my training and my upbringing, could you please make an analogy to flock of 4GB usb-stick-laden african swallows?
there are softwares that only run well on Mac, and the two macs (four and six years old) at my house don't have hardware problems. businesses don't care about your backlight replacement struggles, they can 3 year applecare protection like God or was it Steve Jobs intended

oh gawd holy shit, funniest ac post ever!!
pffft, they were all going to die and go to hell anyway, just sent there a little sooner is all
