before you can avoid bad habits, you have to know what they are AND why are they bad habits.
Frankly, I've seen just as much - if not more - bad code in Java or any other language as I've seen in PHP. In my experience, PHP with its bad name keeps you on your toes when it comes to bad coding practices, it can also give you hands on experience with why one approach is better than the other, something that Java for example (or any language where best practices are already identified for you) can't do.
Just so you know, the Clipboard.getData() points to the AIR documentation which is a very different beast when compared to the Flash browser plugin.
Also flash apps in a web page are subject to cross domain security policies (see: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_9_security.pdf ), the added benefit is that the target domain is able to control who's allowed to make cross domain calls and who's not (by default no one is allowed, much like in a browser).
as a LAMP developer (where in my case P stands for PHP mostly) reading slashdot, I'm used to see a lot of PHP bashing whenever a story remotely related to PHP pops up. On this one there's hardly any PHP bashing at all.
On a more on topic matter, dropping PHP4 support is great news, hopefully this will give the PHP team enough time to concentrate on what's missing in newest versions of PHP. This is my list:
- speed (there's a Google SoC project on this, but more could be done for example calling a function has a lot of overhead)
- >32bit machine independent integer support
- large file support >2Gb
- exceptions thrown by all internal functions
I moded you insightful, none the less, there is a simple fallacy in your logic:
requiring a person to have critical skills and educating that person in logic and critical thinking only means that,
1. the person is required to have critical skills
2. the person received education in the area
It doesn't mean that the person actually has the skills.
The reason I moded you up was that I'm sick of the so called "intellectual" camp bashing other people's beliefs. I'm sick of the lame ass intellectual bullying, and your comment seemed to try to make a stand. I salute you.
btw: I'm a self proclaimed atheist, if anyone is wondering.
to my knowledge, SSDs use flash memory which used to (?) have the limitation that it "wears" out on write-erase (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory#Memory_wear).
Was this limitation removed? Or are there improvements that make the limitation irrelevant? How would a SSD compare from this point of view to a standard HDD?
... needs to be revised, unfortunately nowadays, "Intellectual Property" is attributed more and more to those who are the first to get protection for an idea.
In my opinion, for all this to work properly, it should be the first to get a new idea.
On the other hand we need to think hard if we really want IP protection. We see patent applications for the invention of fire or the wheel, which altho laughable, show a concerning trend: "we want to own any idea that others will fail to own".
Be reminded that human societies began true development and innovation once the sharing knowledge became widely available (one example is the end of the middle ages for European societies) not the other way around. Where "widely available" means available to most ppl as opposed to those with power and money.
1. Make sure that at some point google didn't label you as a "spam" site, http://www.google.com/webmasters/ is a good starting point for learning google's view of your site's health
3. Don't use FLASH, JAVASCRIPT or (I)FRAMES for navigation/menus
4. Navigation in your site should be easy, use: menus with main/sub categories, breadcrumbs, related pages, etc.
5. Make sure that there are links on the internet that link to your site (to the front page, but also very important to sections inside you web site). Take time to build links: ie. when posting in forums make a habit of linking back to your site, especially if there's something on your site that is relevant to the discussion. When you do a website for a client, if possible add a link on the website, pointing to your website. Something like: "Web design by Your Company, Ottawa". Make sure to add the proper "title" attribute to links to your site and the links inside your site.
6. Change you hosting company and get your own IP to host your website. (the shared IP on which your website might be running, could be marked as "spammy" especially if you're site is sharing it with other shady sites)

To put things simply, third world countries have inferior infrastructure, inferior education levels, inferior political stability and a non-existing domestic market, when compared to a first world country. The _only_ thing most third world countries have going for them is cheap labour.
Hmm, inferior education levels you say? Really?! I think it's safe to assume that you're not: a doctor, an IT guy, involved in research, or anything like that...

What I meant was, they're forcing senders to pay for something that they shouldn't need to.
Yahoo: Pay us!
Sender: Why, I could just go somewhere else with my business?
Yahoo: You could, but then again we kinda control what emails XX% of the internet receives. And guess what, those email accounts belong to your potential clients, bwahahahaha!
with all the bad PR they've been getting related to Apple's switch, this seems more likely something a desperate PR department would do.
I mean one and a half years is a lot when it comes to CPU research & development, why tell everyone what you're doing?
Seems to me the services offered should be included free of charge by any respectable email dealing company.
Spam outbreak or not, why exactly should the sender pay to fix a problem that is inherent to their business (Yahoo's and AOL's) ?
It may be interesting to people who aren't hardcore gamers, or people who used to play alot but for some reason can't seem to find the time anymore (like me:) ) and would find relaxation reading and going back the memory lane.
Just a thought.
If you, obviously, find your current work enviroment unchalanging, and you have no money problems, why not work for the startup. There, with the skills you say you have you might make a big diffrence, the company might just break trought and you'ld make shit loads of money and have fun. If it doesn't work out, you can always get another job, it's bubble 2.0 man!

2. Make sure that navigation in your site makes sense from google's bot perspective. Map categories/subcategories in your site to folders in the URL of your site. URLs of your site should be preety, contain relevant words and be relatively short, ie http://example.com/webdesign/logo/price-quote-for-logo-design.html rather than http://example.com/siteengine.php?id_category=12&subcategory=93&articleid=112&lang=en&....
