Consistency is not a fixed property of a language. Consistency only exists in relation to the programming paradigm. For an object-oriented viewpoint, I think Java and C# are pretty consistent. If I need to specify an algorithm, I turn to something like LISP. the functional paradigm works very well there. But if I need to write a program for a client, I prefer the imperative/oo approach.
I can believe that for simple programs, many people find functional languages quite intuitive. I did when I had to write backtracking algorithms back on college. But most application programming would be hell to do in LISP.
Yeah, that really pissed me off when I bought a 6280! Apparently some new phones come with a convertor but my 6280 didn't and now I have 5 obsolete chargers lying around.
I apologize - your earlier post deserved a more serious answer than I gave you. However I was joking and my viewpoint is far from christian/conservative. However, I still believe that the term 'sex worker' is not a problem, for it can work two ways. In the Netherlands, where prostitution is legalized the term 'sex worker' is used for prostitutes to acknowledge that their profession has a legal status just like any other job with all the advantages (regulation) and disadvantages (taxes) that come with that status. Frankly, I think this is a saner way to deal with prostitution (and drugs, for that matter) than ignoring it as a society and hope it just goes away.
...and to take this one step further, calling them 'Sex Workers' would also mean us hard-working folks would be lumped together with prostitutes and pimps (assuming you have a job, of course). Come on, a 'sex worker' is someone who gets paid for a sexual act - which a striptease is. 'Sex' can mean more than sexual intercourse. I'm sorry if this puts a stigma on your sister.

Somehow parent was modded down as troll so I'm going to risk the same fate. But Grandparent is patently wrong. So if you mod me down, mod me flamebait!
That kind of hits a point. Why is porn legal, and prostitution illegal? Both are sex for money. Being in front of a camera changes the law? Prostitution *is* legal, at least it still is in the Netherlands. However with a christian coalition as the most likely candidate for a new government, I'm curious how long that will last...
The new testament is pretty clear about homosexuality too:
Romans 1:26-27: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence [sic] of their error which was meet."
I think it's OK that people believe in Jesus. I know quite some people for whom their faith is a great help because it gives them hope when there is no light. But it's quite a shame that some people use that very same faith to deny people the right to love who they want or be who they are.
Funny, I've always thought authoritarian pricks were what made the Bible what it was!
You mean, like, god...? Because the bible sure would be less fun without him turning people into salt pillars and sending swarms of angry locusts to Egypt.
Look, I'm no conspiracy theorist or libertarian nut, and I realize that browsing the news at aljazeera.com probably isn't Gitmo material. But, does anyone here have trouble believing the government might be using some kind of monitoring not unlike bayesian spam filtering, where simply sharing similar browsing patterns to known terrorists (or known residents of Gitmo) lands you on the watch list?
However, the added value of a laptop is greatly degraded by the lack of electricity in most places and the lack of education. The laptop program should also focus on these things to be succesful.

Dude, it's daKota. They already have to live with the predicate 'North'.

Don't get me wrong, I like LISP. But I think you just mentioned the one and only way in which AJAX code could become even less readable.
You are right, Lucas is widely known as an altruistic guardian of the legacy of his films.

"I do believe the bible is literally, however we're just not smart enough to understand it."

I know exactly nothing about PHP...
... I take the utmost care over security and this was the first ever breakin.
Would you call blindly installing a server side scripting language of which you know nothing 'taking utmost care over security'?
Don't forget about the transparent windows!

You mean something like this?
No, shipping companies are expected to invest heavily in ships that sink.
How about they give them a free pick-axe and some seeds with every laptop purchase?
That would help, but only if the west would abolish farm subsidies for their own farmers.
Giving them a laptop might make them productive.
Giving them food will make them dependent.

Sorry, I must have forgotten the [/sarcasm] tag.
Maybe it's just me, but that sentence makes it sound like we're running terrorists over with our jets. Teehee
No, Israel is just bombing the neighbourhood where the were last seen. Just as efficient and just as effective.
Parent was serious, I think. Well, as serious as ACs ca be.
First of all, I wasn't posting anonymously so I'm not sure what you mean.
There was not 'enough' outcry for himer, so therefore any talk of morality/ethics by Americans cannot have any merit. That's where I lost interest.
That's neither here nor there. I posed a very legitimate question.
