    And the explosive power of one cylinder of gas/air mix is equal to a stick of dynamite... what is your point?

    My point is that "we" do not think that... a small group of morons who are out of the main stream believe it, and really, you can only count the last 100 years or so since definitive evidence of the age or the earth was not possible until radiometric dating was available.

  6. Re:needs time on Announcing Opa: Making Web Programming Transparent · · Score: 1

    A framework would simply provide useful constructs to use in the language the framework is built for... the heavy lifting would have to take place in a separate compiler. I do not see a reason why such a compiler could not be created for any other language.

    Except that the educated people of Europe did NOT believe the world was flat.... it was known that the world was round by anyone who was able to study Aristotle and Mathematics.

    In the future I am sure people will say something like "and how long did they think the world was only 6000 years old?"

    your argument seems to allude to you sucking at math.

    Pedantic much? I said essentially the same damn thing, except I was talking in the end results of a pointless process.

    if you want to be in the web dev game, you need to know everything. RoR, Some PHP frameworks, some Python ones, Catalyst for perl would be good, Javascript (the good parts) JQuery, HTML 5, XHTML.

    The Web Dev world is very complex and sucks.

  12. Re:needs time on Announcing Opa: Making Web Programming Transparent · · Score: 1

    Is there any reason that a language like Java, C#, C++, Python, Perl or Ruby, or with the appropriate framework and compiler couldn't do the same thing that Opa is aiming to do?

    On Hanselminutes, Scott Hanselman interviewed a guy who made the statement "Javascript is the machine language of the Internet", alluding to the fact that it is better from a productivity and performance perspective to develop in a lot of other languages (C# in this case) and have compilers that know how to create optimized, minimized, and cross browser javascript.

    ummm.... the point of Evolution is to strengthen a genome against the environment.... It is completely relative. There is no objective better in Evolution, given that, modern norms and medicine are not hurting us given the environment we live in... in fact, they strengthen us.

    maybe we would have more faith in the politicians if they were not able to use their insider knowledge to make investments that will win lots of cash if they get the vote to come out a certain way (see investments made during the financial crisis debates by Eric Cantor for instance)

    Take the local economy into account... When Nike outsourced to Malaysia, they were paying more than twice the average wages found in that country. The problem? The average wage was 25 cents per day. So Nike was a "Bad Guy" forcing people to work for slave wages... even though those wages were really good for that country and allowed those people to have a pretty decent standard of living for their economy.

    What did Nike do? caved to the political pressure and moved production to China where it was still cheaper than the US, but the wage disparity is less so it does not look so bad. What happened to the unemployed Malaysians? They lost some of the best work an average Malaysian could find.

    Not every country has a standard of living that matches the US, and those economies would inflate like crazy if US companies paid US wages, causing a lot of economic destruction.

    No... that is fact in reality.

    Scientific theories predict an outcome or finding.... scientists will concoct methods of verifying those predictions... if the results are not congruent with the prediction, then the theory is incorrect, at least on that point, thus real science attempts to disprove itself.
