  1. But but but on Giant Ice Shelf Snaps · · Score: 1

    I just saw a Coke commercial at the movie theater with polar bears AND penguins...And the penguins played with the baby polar bear. Coke wouldn't do that if it weren't true, would they?

  2. I'll have spam, spam, cheese, spam... on EU Rejects Spam Maker's Trademark Bid · · Score: 1

    I just had a Spam McMuffin for breakfast. Wait, did I just infringe someone's trademark?

  3. Re:After Bock didn't offer a defense... on Jury Awards $11 Million for Internet Defamation · · Score: 1

    In other news, Earth is being demolished to make way for a Hyperspace bypass. What do you mean, you didn't get the notice?

  4. Re:Don't worry its Belgium on Google News Removes Belgian Newspaper · · Score: 1
    ..but of your list 37 names don't tell me anything.

    So 33 are recognizable? That's close enough to 50% that I think the OP still makes a point. I recognise 0% of the Belgian list.

  5. Re:Flame Baby Flame on David Brin Laments Absence of Programming For Kids · · Score: 1
    ...while the perl kids run naked around them screaming "party on" with a bikini-clad lady in each arm.

    Aww shoot, did I miss the memo announcing that party?

  6. Re:Dictionary definition appears to be wrong on Google Sends Legal Threats to Media Organizations · · Score: 1

    I prefer restaurants that serve Pepsi. Not that I like Pepsi (or Coca-Cola), but it usually means that they also serve Mt. Dew.

  7. Re:Desert Windmills on Tilting At Windmills · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In the desert, you'd probably be better off going solar.

  8. Jeeves is fine... on Ask.Com's New Look Competes Well With Google · · Score: 1

    But my new favorite search engine is Ask Wooster.

  9. You are not my mother on U.S. Investigating Sale of Snort as Security Risk · · Score: 2, Funny

    A Snort is a large piece of construction equipment which a tiny bird thinks may be its mother. I'm not sure what the security implications are.

  10. Re:What's PERL stand for? on Developing Games with Perl and SDL · · Score: 1
    "Practical Extraction and Report Language." Sounds like a real game friendly language choice.

    No, "Pathetically Eclectic Rubbish Lister". Sounds like a perfect language for games :-)

    Besides, Perl is a backronym and doesn't actually "stand" for either one of those things.

  11. Re:Essential PHP Security on Essential PHP Security · · Score: 1

  12. Re:What's the deal with Firefly? on Slashback: GPLv3, Firefly, iTunes · · Score: 1
    I for one can't stand soaps, or law shows like Boston Legal.

    Boston Legal is a law show? Oh wait, maybe you mean law shows like Boston Legal. So do you like law shows like Perry Mason? Or People's Court?

  13. Re:What's the deal with Firefly? on Slashback: GPLv3, Firefly, iTunes · · Score: 1

    Well, if you don't like it, you don't like it. If you like Sci-Fi, Westerns, and if you think the 'western style' music is cool rather than annoying (what do you think of Enio Morricone? Or even "Train Round the Bend" by Lou Reed (yeah, I looked at your web site...but I think the "True Believers" version of this is better)?), then you'd probably like it.

  14. Re:My short experience with perl... on What is Perl 6? · · Score: 1
    @lol = [ ["a", "b"], ["c","d","e"], ["f","g","h"] ]
    print $lol[2][2]
    In perl 5 you're free to just use list references:
    $lol = [ ["a", "b"], ["c","d","e"], ["f","g","h"] ]
    print $lol->[2][2]
    In perl 6 you can eliminate the
    "->"
    from the above code.
  15. Re:Argh! on LispM Source Released Under 'BSD Like' License · · Score: 1

    Hahahaha. That's such a witty comment. Why don't you make fun of Lisp and parenthesis while you're at it?

  16. Re:We tried windows.... on Windows Beat Unix, But it Won't Beat Linux · · Score: 1
    Users could not do things they could before (like use gcc).

    BS(or you guys are just lusers). And I'm no OS zealot of any flavor.

  17. Re:Perl Best Practices on Perl Best Practices · · Score: 1

    No, the grandparent had no point. You at least have some points (though I disagree with them), but I don't see any point to the grandparent post.

  18. Re:Nice attitude. on Perl Best Practices · · Score: 1
    Not a particularly funny one unfortunately - because not enough people will get the joke.
    That doesn't make it any less funny. And how many is "enough"?
  19. Re:Perl Best Practices on Perl Best Practices · · Score: 1


    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

    Troll.

  20. Re:They were given away to OSCON attendees... on Perl Best Practices · · Score: 1

    That code example is pretty straightforward. What is not clear about it?


    As for MJD's book, it presents a good example of how to do functional programming in Perl.


    As for that thread, some people disagree on some things. How is MJD "out of his league"?
