Comment Web development is mostly String processing (Score 1) 752

and as much as I had to say it PHP is about as efficient as any other language that has a C based runtime at String processing. There is probably NOTHING to be gained by adding the complexity and cost of a lower level language like C++. Now re-writing it in Erlang, that might get you something ;-)

Comment Buy a laser printer (Score 1) 970

I picked up a Brother laser printer at Office Depot for $49US no rebates it came with a "starter" cart good for 1000 pages, the "standard" size toner cart is $26US and is good for 1,500 pages, the "pro" size is $50US and is good for 3000 pages. Cheapest I could get a replacement toner for my mother in laws really old Xerox was $90US. So it is much cheaper to get a newer printer, better resolution and faster for less than the price of a replacement toner cart.

Comment Salt base password with a context abbrv salt (Score 1) 1007

Create a 6 character base password like qaJdkW5 and use it as a base for everything. Then add a suffix for each particular use like quJdkW5G for Google quJdkW5sd for slashdot. You can then add digits to "version" them for applications that require changing passwords on a regular basis. Then all you have to do is remember the base and you can derive the rest.
