  1. Cube and the AppleStore on MacOS Keynote Coverage · · Score: 1

    There's the Cube. Right there on store.apple.com. Why in the World would I want to buy that? It's smaller?

    I'd like to find out, but the PDF fact sheet is Forbidden.

    Blah. I'm sure it'll all be sorted out by the end of the day.

  2. Re:He missed Stored Procedures! on MySQL And PostgreSQL Compared · · Score: 1

    And don't forget to mention that you can optionally write Postgres stored procedures in Perl.

  3. Richard Stallman learning perl on Open Source Development with CVS · · Score: 1

    Gah. Perl comes with some of the nicest, most complete, and entertaining man pages that I've ever seen in a software package. I don't believe there's a reason to complain about the lack of perl docs.

    I was slightly disappointed when I finally went out and bought one of those O'Reilly books after using perl for a year or two, and found that much of it was pulled straight from the man pages.

    Perhaps old rms was trying 'info perl' instead of 'man perl'.
