I was not offering a value judgement. I was merely stating facts.
FWIW, I have more than a decade of experience using both languages, have written well-received books on both of them, and I like and dislike each of them for various reasons.
They argue that "Brown did not 'transfer' the stolen information as he arguably would have done had he embedded the link on his web page, but merely created a path to files that had already been published elsewhere that were in the public domain."
Non sequitur. The means by which he shared the link is immaterial. If they meant, "as he arguably would have done had he hosted the linked files on his server", then that's what they should have said.
Android is still Linux even when you use proprietary closed-source binary blobs too, running that additional software doesn't suddenly make it "not Linux" you fool.
You evidently didn't follow the thread very well, you fool, because it should be obvious that you and I agree 100% on this. Thanks for playing, though.

Why in 2014, do I have to decorate variables with '$'?
Not a big fan of variable interpolation, I'm guessing?
Why is the assiciative array syntax take two characters that look a comparison operator?
Don't forget to ask Perl the same question.
Why do I need == and ===?
Because the language is loosely typed. There are other loosely-typed scripting languages that have both of these operators as well.
ANd vaiable confusion between $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE
So you would prefer to have them all in one array? Or as global scalars?
Seems to me you're complaining about PHP because it's a scripting language and not C or Java.
Here's a suggestion for you: If you don't like the syntax, or if you want strict typing, use something else. If you don't have a choice in the matter, then maybe you should think about looking for another job. Cheers.

I suggest version numbers, but then they say, "But version numbers don't tell me which one is final". I gave up on them.
I work daily with a codebase full of methods like connect_v1(), connect_v2(), connect_v3(),... .
You do *not* want to go there. Please trust me on this.

Rasmus Lerdorf told me at a con some years ago that he was still amazed at how PHP had taken off: "It was just a hack so I could get some things done, and still, that is all it is now, really."

Hello, JavaScript is object-oriented. This is because, in JavaScript, everything is an object. Period. Loose typing and prototype inheritance do not alter this fact.
And you do not need to decorate your variable names with anything in JS.
Returning to the topic: Back in the day, PHP was sort of awesome for those of us who weren't C or Perl gurus, but those times have passed.
Today I don't use it for anything other than the occasional shell script and simple websites that do not involve the transfer of goods, funds, or private info. But I'm sticking to bash more and more for the former, and I don't do much of the latter anymore.
Dump the grounds in a strainer, let them dry a bit, then toss them in the trash. Rinse out the remainder, let it go down the drain. (I bought this place almost 4 years ago, and the kitchen pipes are still fine.) Once a week, I run the strainer and the press through the dish machine. Seems pretty easy to me.
It's like when you find the exact same piece of generic furniture sold at (but not designed by) IKEA in some upstreet furniture shop - IKEA would call it "ROBUST" (or whatever) and sell it for $89, while the other "boutique" will call it "Multimedia bench in Nordic pinewood" at thrice the pricetag.
Well, actually, IKEA would name it after some obscure village in Denmark, but otherwise you're spot on.
Slashdot Mirror
I am aghast at the notion that there's a country where it does cost money. It's simply unconscionable.
Why is it, I wonder, why diatribes about "leftists" always seem to go hand-in-hand with the inability to distinguish it's and its?
Everything. And at some level, society needs to be built around facilitating and accommodating business.
I don't know what you think you're espousing, but in reality it's one of: (a) corporatocracy or (b) fascism.
We had nothing to do with Li'l Boosie getting out! Word of honour.
(He was actually released on Wednesday, BTW.)

Who pays for the "privilege" of doing something the device is already entirely capable of doing? I sure as hell don't.

He's apparently confused her with Hayden Panettiere. Penis erectus non compos mentis, and all that, you know.

*whew* I initially had the impression that he was planning some form of bizodd surgical suicide. Thanks for clearing that up.
You seem to have prepended an unintended 'unless' to your last sentence.
There. Now pay me 1 M GBP as a management consultant.
Great, just what we need--another crypto-currency du jour.
Use a hand-cranked grinder.
1. You get morning exercise. (Remember to switch hands on alternate days so you don't end up with one huge shoulder.)
2. Wife doesn't need alarm clock.
Besides, Dolphins and Orcas are horrible Baristas. Wait, what kind of "pods" are we talking about?
I heard it has something to do with civets, but everyone just coughs and blushes when I ask them exactly what the connection is.
Does your grocery stock whole frozen salmon?
In any event, please don't visit mine. :D

Well... a True Scotsman won't fit in the grinder, so I usually settle for coffee.

That's about twice what I pay for Lavazza espresso beans at my local grocery.
