Totally agree! I think they should have the death penalty to people who die ( real worldly ) playing online! Oh, NVM.. I'll just go back to TB... There have been laws that make attempted suicide a capital crime.
Just to add to the list of anecdotes, my Samsung D407 from (what was at the time) Cingular allows mp3 and MIDI files for ring tones. Not sure if AT&T has disabled this on new phones in the past year, but I'll be very annoyed if they have.
One of those three clauses is that you "must retain... this list of conditions", which would seem to my non-lawyer mind that you can't remove the BSD license text even if you can add additional license terms.
While I'm at it, how many schools teach assembler to show the low level versions of these? Mine did. I started my degree in 1998. At the time, Intel assembly was an entire semester in the CS department, and Motorola assembly was part of the ECE department's Logic Systems (basically an introduction to digital computers) class that CS majors were required to take.
An operating system is very unlikely to kill any hardware part Unlikely, but at least theoretically possible. This issue here is that it isn't even electronic hardware, but mechanical hardware that is in no way affected by software (unless there's a motor on the hinges that can be controlled by software, but I somehow doubt that). It's like saying that Gentoo weighs more than Windows and caused the leg on your desk to crack.
PDO has existed for quite a while now (bundled as of 5.1, available from PECL since 5.0). I would guess that the lack of support for prepared queries was because of the focus on MySQL, which didn't support much of anything beyond "SELECT *" until relatively recently. The newer versions of PHP (5.1.x and above) really are a vast improvement over earlier versions (I started during 4.0.x, so I remember the bad old days).
How are Socialist people different from the Worker Party? Socialist? Worker? Look, if you aren't a Democrat or Republican, you're just some flip-flopper. You're either with us or you're against us. Pick a side, we're at war.
Ill agree with your second statement about alert levels and terrorists, but there are plenty of democrats that got wound up in the paranoia and fear about "WMD"'s and gave the president authorization to use military force against Iraq. I still think the Democrats in Congress authorized military action because they thought it would just be used as a threat instead of actually carried out. So they weren't wound up, paranoid, or afraid, they were just idiots.
I'm looking forward to further research that correlates liberal/conservative preference with population density. It seems that the more urbanized people are, the greater the comfort level with shifting responsibility/authority to the government. I think there's a very simple explanation for the correlation between population density and liberals/conservatives. People that are exposed to a wider variety of other people are more tolerant of change and differences in others, while people that live where everyone is of the same race and religion (and I grew up in the whitest state in the US) have their own beliefs reinforced and tend to have trouble handling differences in others.
PHP is decent enough for what it is. Historically there have been security problems with it, Security problems in PHP itself have been pretty rare. The security problems everyone hears about are in PHP scripts written by idiots that do things like use a GET or POST variable as a shell command. There's not much that any language can do to prevent all programmer stupidity before you start losing important functionality.
The reason for that is that PHP5's OO model is almost a direct copy of Java's. I'm not saying that's bad (in fact, I prefer Java's model to that of Python or Javascript), I'm just saying that's why they're similar.
I call bullshit. As a former op in EFNet's #php and a user in Freenode's #php for a relatively short time, I know firsthand that there are far fewer than 2 people in any such channel that could manage a relationship.
Laws restricting smoking were just the beginning. Then came the trans fat ban. Is fast food next?
Governments in the US are already regulating individual lifestyle decisions in the name of reducing healthcare costs, and we don't even have a socialized system! First of all, try to keep in mind the separation between the federal government and state governments. Under the US Constitution, states have the right to pass such laws. Second, the laws restricting smoking are for the benefit of other people who don't want to breath toxic fumes. The ban on trans fat in New York City, however, I do disagree with, since it only directly affects the person consuming the food (if it were feasible, I'd even say that people that eat 7000 calories of McDonald's every day shouldn't receive publicly-funded health care for being 200 pounds overweight).
As opposed to the situation now? He who has the money makes the rules, that's the system we currently use. Those with the most money have the most patents and can sue anyone into oblivion. Surely there has to be some middle ground here. There's a difference between the concept of patents and the current patent administration in the United States. If we managed to implement the system that we originally had 200+ years ago, we'd be in much better shape. I haven't looked at the patents relating to this case, so I can't say for sure if they fall into this category, but getting rid of the truly obvious software patents (I'm looking at you, one-click purchasing) would go a long way towards fixing the system.
that is why there is not a single unified Christian or Islamic faith (not sure about Judaism). There are several sects of Judaism. Orthodox (the strict, traditional, take-everything-literally branch), Reform (the touchy-feely, big-book-of-nice-stories branch), and Conservative (thought the Reform movement went a bit too far in modernizing) are the three large sects. There isn't any real violence between branches of Judaism. Some of the more Orthodox people have been known to consider Conservative and Reform Jews to be "not really Jewish", but it doesn't go beyond harsh words and a mean glare.
So basically this is NetNanny for TV and it's "censorship?" You mean Microsoft is applying for a patent for Existing Technology X, only not on the Internet?

I believe there's a PHP plugin for Visual Studio, which of course isn't free.
I haven't used it, but KDevelop's site says that it supports PHP.

The answer, of course, is to shoot one.
So you'd need to carry 725 gallons of fuel just to run this thing for 10 minutes.
Not so much a sky car as a sky lorry!
I don't think your math is correct.
15 miles/gallon * 725 gallons * 1 hour / 290 miles = 37.5 hours
290 miles / hour * 1 gallon / 15 miles ~= 20 gallons / hour
I dunno what I'd do if I ever received mail with man-boobs.
