...it's too late for PERL. The system and kernel engineers chose to stick with C, PHP ran all over it with less cryptic syntax, and all the web 2.0 "me too" morons are now hacking away in Ruby and Python.
But really, PERL's demise was PHP. Especially since the CLI version of PHP, turning him into a true general purpose language.
Dude, you lost me at PHP.
Perl IS the most widely spread scripting system on a Unix host, after Shell.
So the guy wants to write a web server to scratch an itch or something. No big deal there. The question is WHY THE FUCK DID IT MAKE SLASHDOT?
Same question I had in mind
"Retarded Italian Prosecutors v Google airing retarded Italians"
That much, said by someone that can't even spell
What Nokia is bringing to the table is completely different from Android / Palm - it's a full, open Linux, no strings attached. You can develop software using the tools you want to use, instead of sticking to Java or Javascript.
Exactly. I only hope they won't get caught in the AAPL and GOOG trend of locking down devices, later in the path.
IMO the way Nokia is approaching these new devices is the right one, from a Development POV and from a Freedom To Use POV.
If they'll play their marketing cards correctly, we might have a very serious competitor to AAPL and GOOG, in the mobile space.
Nope. He's not a liar. The thing with the nomenclature is the point. (Also it was long ago!) They have some nice things in their army, that others do not have. ^^ But even if it were F-117A jets, I would not find this any bad.
The Mediterranean "Sea" is actually an ocean. At least to everyone you ask here. Also, why wouldn't it be one? It has the same properties.
As far as I knew, the the telco expenses were pretty good there. Hmm... One should check this on the websites.
It's true that everything is pretty expensive. As in Luxemburg. But people also earn more money (hint: *because of it!), so they can pay it.
F19 does not exist. It's not a matter of interpretation. It was never produced.
The Mediterranean Sea is NOT an Ocean, again it does matter what you think over there.
If you went to school and they asked you to name the Earth oceans, and you mentioned the Mediterranean Sea, you should have failed.
The only thing you might miss, is the ocean. For that you have to drive to Italy. (Right below it. At Venice for example.)
I dare you to beat that package.
OK, I'm not arguing about your other points, but:
1) Venice it's not under Switzerland
2) The Adriatic sea (the one on which Venice is) is NOT an Ocean
3) Driving down from Switzerland you get in the Genova region (Liguria), and that's the Mediterranean sea, that is NOT an Ocean too
In Norway and the rest of scandinavia (and the rest of western Europe), language will not be an issue. Only really old people will have trouble communicating in English. The exceptions in western Europe is France and Germany.
OK, France, we all know. But Germany?! A lot of them speaks English there and I wouldn't see any problem from that POV.
Norton, Symantec and others have created an entire multi-billion dollar subscription based industry around virus protection for Windows. I wonder how they are going to react to this potential bomb for there business model?
React? You mean, they should feel threatened by the same noOneCare technology that so miserably failed to make any business because of its design flaws?
I can already see everyone in the business running scared about this new thing.
I'd rather just believe that it's done by little elves running around.
