Rails is a web app framework, not a language. There are much better ones for Ruby.
High order Perl, haha, that's like when I had to write some Objective COBOL for an insurance company almost ten years ago, fun because it was so painful compared to the same task in a well designed language.

getting it right???? Perl 6 is a pathologically overcomplicated mess of anything and everything Larry saw in other better designed languages over the last decade, all mixed up with no rhyme or reason. It's like a swiss army knife with condiment and shaving cream dispenser, cell phone and vibrating butt plug. The specs are a nightmare to read, the syntax takes 25% more effort to construct something compared to other scripting languages, and there's no end in sight. Time to realize Perl 6 is like the Ripley-Alien clone freaks, only merciful thing would be to hit it with a flamethrower and start over.

and every year the design for Perl 6 becomes more and more contorted and ultra-complicated, basically taking every cool feature Larry sees in other languages and mashing them together into an incoherent Mulligan stew. If Perl is like "whale guts everywhere" then Perl 6 is like taking a whole Oceanarium of sea creatures and dropping them through the dual rotors of a crane copter 10,000 feet over Manhattan.
nonsense, a person who's worked for three years won't be able to save up enough to live for two more years. The reality is non-competes are more often not upheld. always check the laws where you live, you might be surprised at how enforcement of non-compete varies by nature of work, position level, etc.
most vegans I know don't eat vegetables take control of their body and make them hear and see things they can't stop. crap like Flash is the opposite of what open source is trying to achieve, but if you want to give control of your computer to those who want to turn it into a 24x7 revenue source you go right ahead
the only reason I use KDE rather than GNOME is the memory footprint on my older gear. I've seen rumblings in the forums that KDE 4 can be set to have less footprint than 3 with compositing turned off, hope it's true.

my, my, aren't we full of stereotypes and bigotry. Only the positions research labs and high tech production facilities are worthy of an intelligent person? Coal mining areas don't have intelligent artists, doctors, lawyers, or even say mining engineers? Farmers never conduct research or are professors at universities (my uncle does both and is corn and hog farmer)?
use of nuclear weapons costs tremendous political clout and risks at least economic harm in return by many nations.
but an automated killing machine that kills friend or foe indiscriminately, already had those for more than half a century
Somehow everyone forgets the enormous cost of malware proliferation, load and downtime due to Microsofts sloppy coding and quality practices. So you want to be a participant in the Microsoft Enterprise Malware Distribution System , by all means pony up for their overpriced, bloated, poorly engineered crap.
that "backward compatibility" is boring enough to turn off anyone who is creative and writes open source software for fun. especially with Microsoft's undocumented features.
because colleges and universities don't use their students as a captive market? at least with gmail you don't have to buy what they are selling. A school will tell you things to buy and you'd better pay if you want the sheepskin.
This ice doesn't normally melt between Ice Ages! Get it?!
Actually, the way you are using the term, the recent ebb and flow of glaciers in the last few hundred thousand years are all part of a single true ice age (we're in one now because of landed ice existing). Over the larger timescale of true ice ages there are periods of time when *no* landed ice exists. Therefore your statement is absurd and unscientific, the ice DOES all melt between true ice ages.
you wrote alot of stuff starting with "no", but you completely ignored the absolute truth of my statement that the oceans have been rising since the last ice age.
With or without the minute contribution to the ocean levels by climate change, the peoples who are relocating because their lands were within inches of sea level would have to do so in future decades anyway, because sea levels will continue to rise with or without man's contribution.
no, but we'll stick with our tried and true radium water treatment for sinus problems and for just good preventive healthcare. "it couldn't hurt and it might help(r)"
indeed, a real geek will probably have *all* of those OS and maybe more. With the advent of various types of virtual machines, a geek can several OS at once on one machine. and they do!

nah, they duck and cover and then tell the cops nothing happened and they didn't hear or see shit

out-and-out stupid: that's a nice label for facts that contradict prejudices and arm-flapping spittle-flying religious dogma.

the first half of the 20th century had the greatest rate of ocean level rise, that fact doesn't help your religious arguments
