  2. Re:Languages on Is DVORAK Gaining Traction Among Coders? · · Score: 1

    Dvorak is optimized for writing English. Most coders - like most computer users in general - do not use English as their main language. i disagree. i live in austria, still _all_ the source code i write plus the documentation is being done in english. also since my company has branch offices in 12 countries i do most of my email communication in english too. i don't think i am a big exception here.

    The US government has made a lot of mistakes recently, but at least Americans can be proud that we are still protecting our most fundamental human right. thanks for the good laugh :D in the US i can't even drink from a bottle of wine in public.
    you americans have a weird ability to believe in your freedom whilst living in one of the least free countries in the western world.

    i think no place in the world has so many forbidden-signs than america. you can't even say "fuck" in a movie, you get sued when someone burns themselves with the coffee you brew them and in some states premarital sex is a crime :D way to go, country of the freedom fries.

    well as long as you feel free, there's nothing wrong with that. since most americans don't leave america all their life they can't know how free other people are.

    well usually people that do (computer-)science have a hard time believing in invisible superheroes that run the world.

    because most americans don't know there is a world outside of the US so if something goes for all americans it automatically goes for the whole humanity ^^.

    i did a lot of testing in my company that showed that creating large html forms from database content in php is 120% slower than in java.

    you lie.

    ever tried to access an oracle db from php? not fun

    No, I don't consider it fun either. OTOH, it's very quick and trivially easy, so that makes the lack of fun doing it irrelevant. in comparison to copying 1 .jar file to the server accessing oracle from php is not quick.

    but from what I understand PHP does the whole ajax thing in a more fluid manner, is this incorrect? yes. php has nothing to do with javascript.

    No compiling, no fannying around with JVMs.

    yup, that's why it is slow as hell. also the total lack of type safety and freak operators like === make me want to avoid it. :)

    can you REALLY tell the difference between 256khz and 512khz (hint: if you say 'yes', you are lying) don't you think it's kinda arrogant to call people liars just because your hearing sucks? also you're confusing khz with kbps so i doubt you have any idea what you are talking about.

    that is correct but you must understand that people who use a debian derived distro are likely to expect the same reliability that debian offers.

    just FYI i just finished the upgrade with exactly zero problems :)

  13. i think the biggest problem on Upgrading to Ubuntu Edgy Eft a "Nightmare" · · Score: 1

    is always the kernel + initrd. i have used custom kernels forever and never had any problems with upgrades (been using debian, kubuntu, rh, rhel, suse, sles, gentoo...you name it)

    the problem is you just can't expect an average user to know how to deal with kernel/module/initrd problems :/. i am upgrading as i speak and can't wait to see if everything works fine but i do not expect major problems. if there will be any i will let you guys know ^^.

    why not use lower case? reading upper case text makes me feel like the monitor is shouting in my face. apart from that as many people already said i believe every data input software/environment/database allows to upper() or lower() any input.
