I second that. CSS-centric sites tend to suck. Table tags almost always provide a better user browser experience. Maybe it's possible to do CSS right, but most don't. (Note that my handle does not refer to HTML tables, but other kinds of tables.)

A clearly inaccurate analogy. Everyone knows there are no black Republicans.

Okay, Steele, but I'm not sure he's Republican so much as he is plain nuts. *dives out window to avoid getting served with libel papers*

Is lying, in a political context, a crime? If the Vice President lies about wmd in Iraq, is that a crime? If Monsanto lies about their political contributions, is that a crime? If a blogger lies about her relationship with a Congressman, is that crime?

The linked article is by Fox News, the media arm of the Republican party. That alone should make you question every word of the article.

To be fair on the old Duke, I didn't play it when it was first released, so by the time that I tried it I had already played Quake 1. I remember at the time thinking that it was a step down from Quake. Maybe it was because I wanted the strippers to be less pixelated!

As for still being fun to play it now, it is on my list of games to revisit. Ooh, and I just found it on special at $3.89. Nice timing!

and even once you've solved that problem, you have to overcome difficulties of having your head whacked like a baseball by the staff of the cryogenic company.

Also the age of consent in that time (if we're talking medieval Europe) was typically 12 years old - where it was codified into law at all.

The concept of keeping children separate from sex until the wedding night indeed may have it's origins in such cultures, but the thing that totally screws up the idea is that the wedding night (and the division between childhood and adulthood) came WAY earlier in those days. Those bastages saddled our culture with this stupid notion of "children need to be protected from sex" yet few of them would bat and eye about 14 and 15 year olds screwing because in their culture those were adults.

"even arp drags a server down when you have 20K+ connects"

Are you perhaps a server admin in my company? I swear this is the best excuse for poor performance I've ever heard.

From my personal experience: Data-heavy applications run at a complete crawl in PHP. 10 times slower, is, in my opinion, a vast understatement.

Then again, that’s not the point of PHP. The point is, that in PHP, provided you already know how to program, also get things done more than 10 times faster, than in C++. Because there is a simple function with defaults and automatisms for literally everything.

Only if those defaults and automatisms are other than what you expect, you will get into big trouble. And because the PHP interpreter is truly a horrible piece of shit (I was able to run totally illegal constructs, with plain text right in the middle of the code, and it ran, doing nothing of what I expected it to do.), that happens quite a lot.
It’s one reason that drove me to the extreme strictness of Haskell, where you have to get it right upfront, so it doesn’t bite you in the ass later.

Are you assuming that C++ developers don't live when they're not coding?
