I have to agree that for some small jobs, PHP is just the right tool.

Turkey has a governmental department that regulates what the imams will preach in the mosques.
The military forced out the government four times in the last sixty years, the last time was fifteen years ago.
There's literally hundreds of judgements by the European Court of Human Rights against Turkey.
There's still ongoing concerns about torture in the judicial system.
For fuck's sake, this is a country that once executed a guy for opposing a ban on a certain type of HAT.
So no, Turkey isn't "just another liberal democracy right".
Yet Turkey is held up as something the countries of the Arab Spring can aspire to. Shows how far theyve all got to go.
Serving the military of a free nation is as much of an honor as it is a sacrifice
It is scary that a lot of people regurgitate this military honour crap at the drop of a hat. The point of an army is to kill or intimidate foreigners and to project national power. And the world's most indebted nation wants to spend even more on doing so.
Just Linked In. Do I not get a job?
(Seems that if you are over 30 and have a Facebook account, it calls into question your maturity anyway, no need to actually look at your profile.)
I have extended family members who only communicate via FB. There are photos of great nephews etc that I wouldn't otherwise see. So it's be in or be antisocial. Mind you, I wonder if a prospective employer could find my nephew's wife's wittering any less interesting than I do?
Hypothesis: his wife caught him with it. He claims that he accidentally downloaded it instead of some music.
According to TFA, on discovering the images he discussed the situation with his wife and immediately called police to report the incident. The police took the laptop to investigate the source but didn't charge him then social workers waded in with their usual hysterical over-reaction.
uneducated != stupid
But functionally often hard to distinguish.
There's countless millions of pre-industrial people alive today. Do they commonly exhibit this behavior? You don't need to dig through medieval diaries when there are humans alive now who exist at varied levels of social and technological development. I'm more interested how agrarian and hunter-gatherer societies treat sleep today than urban Europeans a few hundred years ago. Urban Europeans have always engaged in bizarre activities.
The account I read http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16964783 mentioned an anthropological account of modern tribes in Nigeria.
What are the scanners they use on liquids in airports in Japan? I took a lot of internal flights there last winter and each time had a water bottle strapped on the outside of my hand baggage. Security set the bottle on a little stand, pushed a button and waited for (IIRC) a green light before handing in back to me.
A unit of area x a unit of length = a unit of volume
1 cubic metres = 0.000810713194 acre foot (per google).
I've dual booted dozens of boxes at home over the last 20 years. I've wiped Windows and single booted Linux on a few too. But every time I get some new kit, Windows comes pre-installed and all the hardware just works. Nearly every time I've had a struggle to get Linux sound working, or video out or something else that was just fine under Windows.
Really, Linux on the desktop is still not there. And the fissiparous nature of desktop environments doesn't help.
When was the last time you tried to edit wikipedia?
It's pretty much read-only at this point.
It was still freely editable last time I looked. Maybe you should try making a sensible edit with some citations.
Is Microsoft better than Oracle? I kind of see it as the East Front: Nazi Germany against Communist Russia. Can't they just destroy each other completely?
I think you're getting confused with IBM.
I'm sure we'll hear a lot of political ideology in today's comments, but I just wanted to remind folks that S&P reputation isn't that stellar. S&P and Moody's used mathematical models to rate mortgage backed securities as safe as governmental bonds back in 2007. Then about 90% of those bonds were then rerated as junk bonds which forced a large sell off.
Only because the bank deliberately gamed the system to hide the fact that they were lending way beyond the Basel rules. Don't blame the ratings agencies or the governments - it's all the greedy bankers' fault.
The real purpose for Google putting everything into one entry box is that everything you type gets turned into a search, and therefore gets sent to Google
I'm a keyboarder rather than a mouser so I know C-L takes me to the address bar with autocomplete from history and bookmarks, C-K to search. C-L plus a few letters is a lot faster than a bookmarks menu. C-T,C-K is probably one of my most used key combos. Either way, they can hide the bar when not in use as long as I can get there via a handy shortcut.
Is FF becoming the Gillette of the UI?
I have absolutely no idea what that is supposed to mean. Anyway, I've recently switch to Chrome now that it's got adblock, flashblock and copy link text.
If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.
