I was in London a few years back on one of those double decker tour buses and as we passed Scotland Yard, the tour announcer said that the officers of Scotland Yard now carried pistols... When I asked if ordinary citizens could carry now, she looked at me with a disgusted look and said "You must be an American."
Later when we had stopped at a pub and I was conversing with a couple from the tour who asked why the American obsession over having guns like it was still the Wild West's rules and everybody goes around shooting everybody.
I explained that for me at least, that was not it
"You are in your home. An intruder, high on drugs, psychotic, thinks you are having an affair with his wife, just losing it over what is going on in his life, whatever, random, starts breaking in. You and your family retreat to the master bedroom closet, your "safe room", locking doors as you go.
You scream, "take what you want, just leave us alone."
You hear the bedroom door break.....the closet door is being kicked in....
The closet door flies open....
In your eyes it is your family's lives or the intruder's......in American at this point you have the right to defend yourself with deadly force.....
At this moment, as rare as it might be it does happen, don't you have the right to defend yourself with the finest armament of your choice?"
They then at least understood the view a rational American has about owning runs. To poorly quote Ice-T:
"I don't own guns for target practice.
I don't own guns to hunt.
I own guns to protect myself from a crazed psychotic individual or government."

Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year! They oughta have 'em, too.
Violence is like XML.....if its not working, you're not using enough.
Remember the episode of Star Trek (TOS) where the Enterprise enters a parallel universe where everyone is there but very very violent? The good guys win because its easier for a civilized person to act like a barbarian than it is for the barbarian to act civilized?
I feel this is where we are with the whole ISIS thing. They are barbarians. They will not stop until all the infidels are dead.
It is time for the US war machine to rise up, untie the one arm and two legs we've kept tied up until this point, and fucking fuck them up.
Literally turn that part of Syria into glass, civilians, children, fucking all of them.
Or to reference a very funny Sam Kinison bit about shooting the homeless. Paraphrasing here:
"Line them up. Ask the first one, any job interviews, any contributions to society, any desire to contribute at all?"
"No"
Shoot him, next.
Believe me, by the third person in line they'll be saying:
Yeah, I cleaned the street I sleep on, I will no longer piss and shit on the sidewalk, and I have a job interview tomorrow."
Turn Syria into glass, and the next guy in line will think twice before fucking with the civilized world.

if you have 3 lines of identical code in 3 places, it should be a method or function...
less than that you have an identical comment so your IDE can find you all the code when you start to change one of the instances...
Obviously you have never used a laptop with a trackpad that allows a double finger touch gesture to scroll the current window under the mouse pointer.
Moving to the scroll bar arrows to move the screen...wasting screen real estate.....how quaint....1990 called they want their interface back
Gene Roddenberry....no
Gene Simmons..........no
Gene Wilder...............no
Gene Siskel................yes
Gene Hackman..........no

A lot of BS about PHP comes from developers of more OOP/MVC coding designs using Ruby on Rails, where as I think Ruby on Rails is a mess.
