Dont forget LiquidThreads. Which has been replaced by Flow, which will get replaced by something else, ad nauseum. It's basically a make-work program at this point.

Thanks to the unpaid community volunteers. About the only thing I can point to in the recent history done by a paid team that was mildly successful was the Vector skin. Remember how awesome LiquidThreads was that it got deployed everywhere? Oh wait.

Specifically things like dependency injection and modifying existing libraries to suit your purpose without having to touch the code of the core library [...] When I learned that on the fly I could inject or replace a method in a core object at load time

DoS the hidden site, see where the traffic ends up. Rinse, repeat.

who remembers all the acronyms?

SD, SDHC, SDXC, SDIO, BFG, LOL, WTF

I know in my field, if you fail to report your neighbor if you know they violated policy, even if you did nothing else, they'll fire you too.

The 14th doesn't count?

my $sql = 'SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar IN (' .join(',', ('?') x @array) . ')';

Totally hard.

You must be new here. I remember the Bush era /. when nearly every other article was complaining about Bush.

Alabama, home of the Marshall Space Flight Center, which is NASAs rocketry and spacecraft research center. Nah, no way this is a political move to protect their investment.

There is, pretty useless though. Older versions of the spec were so vague it was implemented differently by different companies which completely broke any concept of a 'standard'.

gmail?
