No, you do all of your scripts with PHP because you're too fucking stupid or ignorant to learn a proper language like Perl, Python or Ruby.

Once you've moved on as a developer, and learned some decent languages, you'd see how much of a fetal abortion PHP is. It's literally a stillborn programming language.
So what? If he's quicker with it, who are you to decide he shouldn't use it? You already established you don't care about performance.
That's a pretty weak argument for someone with a modern connection. It took me about 30 min to install the orange box (about 4.8gb) on my home connection.
As someone who moves around a lot, it would've taken me two months. I have a 3 Gb/month data cap.
This is just a way to cut costs by automating the notification process and giving infected customers a chance to clean up the problems themselves before they download that torrent so that a disconnection is needed.
It also clearly says "compatibility", e.g. no actual 128-bit code yet, but they'll make sure it won't break in the future. Perhaps they learned their lesson from 64-bit XP.
approach to fighting spam. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)
( ) Spammers can easily use it to harvest email addresses ( ) Mailing lists and other legitimate email uses would be affected ( ) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money ( ) It is defenseless against brute force attacks ( ) It will stop spam for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it ( ) Users of email will not put up with it ( ) Microsoft will not put up with it (X) The police will not put up with it ( ) Requires too much cooperation from spammers ( ) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once ( ) Many email users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers ( ) Spammers don't care about invalid addresses in their lists ( ) Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business
Specifically, your plan fails to account for
( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it ( ) Lack of centrally controlling authority for email ( ) Open relays in foreign countries ( ) Ease of searching tiny alphanumeric address space of all email addresses ( ) Asshats ( ) Jurisdictional problems ( ) Unpopularity of weird new taxes ( ) Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money ( ) Huge existing software investment in SMTP ( ) Susceptibility of protocols other than SMTP to attack ( ) Willingness of users to install OS patches received by email (X) Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes ( ) Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches ( ) Extreme profitability of spam (X) Joe jobs and/or identity theft ( ) Technically illiterate politicians ( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with spammers ( ) Dishonesty on the part of spammers themselves (X) Bandwidth costs that are unaffected by client filtering ( ) Outlook

( ) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical ( ) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable ( ) SMTP headers should not be the subject of legislation ( ) Blacklists suck ( ) Whitelists suck ( ) We should be able to talk about Viagra without being censored ( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud (X) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks ( ) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually ( ) Sending email should be free ( ) Why should we have to trust you and your servers? ( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses (X) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem ( ) Temporary/one-time email addresses are cumbersome (X) I don't want the government reading my email ( ) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough

(X) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work. ( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it. ( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down!
Who the hell modded this incomprehensible gibberish up?
Parent is confusing the terms "kernel" with "base installation", "OS" with "kernel", "microkernel" with "kernel", "monolithic kernel" with "base installation".
And to those of you who think glibc, gcc and autotools are not important, I dare you to build a fully Open Source Linux distro without them, or even just replace them on your own box. I have tried to make myself an uclibc-based Gentoo, and I still have nightmares about it.
Anyway, let's just call it Debian and be done with it. uname -a will fill you in on the rest.
So it seems to me that this Debian project defeats the most attractive feature of the FreeBSD operating system (...), while simultaneously casting aside Linux's advantages over FreeBSD
There is one other thing though: the quality of Debian as a whole will improve, since you can't assume anything about the kernel anymore.

The author was clearly talking about increasing diversity in games and how the standard space-marine character pushes against that
Why do we need diversity anyway? Does it matter if you're playing a white space marine who shoots aliens or a black space marine who shoots aliens? Next up: chess is racist, because while you can play either white or black, there is no Native American side.
Far from it; the bald, white space-marine is one of the most over-used characters in modern gaming. But it increasingly rare that they are lone heroes. A shift towards team-based, co-op featured games is undeniable. In this way, mainstream video games, even those seemingly void of political statement, are implicitly political.
No, they're not "political". You can interpret Mozart's Fifth to be racist, but that doesn't mean he wrote it that way. If you keep looking for racism everywhere, you are racist: everyone else doesn't think about it all the time.

Sombody is failing to understand the "Extra Sensory" part of "ESP", ie. you're not allowed to use any of the five senses.
Changing the TV with a remote control is not telekinesis, either.

We have an official presidential immunity in France. It sucks.
Didn't he break a presidential oath or something? I'm sure there are checks at least in theory to prevent this sort of abuse.

It refers to a 128 bit filesystem ala ZFS, not the whole OS.
Oh. I thought they pulled a Vista again and the 16 exabytes of RAM provided by 64-bit was not enough for their latest crime against humanity.

More and more games are becoming social platforms.
