Comment Re:It's always been obvious (Score 4, Funny) 622

Python has *always* been obviously better than PHP (or perl, etc.) But if you have no skills, you look for the easiest path: the goal is to get the project going.

If your expertise is Perl, climbing the Python learning curve, gentle as it may be, isn't attractive, and becomes less so as your available time to engage in such things narrows. And so your project $sucks @terribly $$ and looks like APL

This is how I can tell that you're not an APL programmer. APL programs are beautiful. Perl looks as if your mom picked up the phone while you were using a BBS.

People want to immigrate to America. We made it nearly impossible over the past 30 years to do so legally.

Excuse me? There has been plenty of legal immigration happening. The Immigration and Naturalization Reform Act of 1986 saw to that.

They must of been told

What does it mean for a person to "of been" told something?

Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you simply unaware of the sad fact of the decline of the English language? (Also, consider that "eric umenhofer" sounds like a name for a non-native speaker - the 'net is international, after all, just like the Village.) What he probably meant was:

They must've been told that they [the client] had Access already and that it was all they could use.

"Like" but isn't really. Most of the commands my fingers remember from not only using IOS, but from having added new features and fixed bugs in it, don't work. First stumbling blocks: conf t and wr t. They're definitely trying, and if you fiddle with it long enough, you can actually get a pair of tunnels to an AWS VPC with "redundant" BGP up.

Comment Re:It's not the packaging, it's the seal (Score 1) 398

Of course, I have, MrEricSir, on multiple occasions. I started shopping at Fry's when they still sold proper components as well as groceries, before the move across Lawrence Expy and the subsequent explosion of stores. The "checking" has always involved taking an inventory of what's in the box and comparing it to the given inventory on the side of the box, then slapping a sticker on it. There are, of course, two stickers, one that's RTV and the other that's meant to be put on items that are to be re-shelved. I've seen a non-zero number of re-packaged items (now they have their own shrink-wrap machine!) with RTV stickers put back on the shelves.
