Submission + - The PHP Singularity (codinghorror.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Jeff Atwood at Coding Horror has a post about the awfulness of PHP — or, rather, a post about posts about the awfulness of PHP. He points out that PHP has been the whipping boy for the developer community for years, and while everybody seems happy to complain about it, nobody seems willing to do anything about it. He writes, 'From my perspective, the point of all these "PHP is broken" rants is not just to complain, but to help educate and potentially warn off new coders starting new codebases. Some fine, even historic work has been done in PHP despite the madness, unquestionably. But now we need to work together to fix what is broken. The best way to fix the PHP problem at this point is to make the alternatives so outstanding that the choice of the better hammer becomes obvious.'
Comment Is the Razr prior art? (Score 2) 326
The Motorola Razr -- both the original flip phone and the current smart phones -- have a design that is thicker where it needs to be and thin elsewhere to conserve weight and volume. Not really a wedge but similar. Perhaps non-Apple ultrabook makers could adopt that thin-with-a-bump design. It's easier to grip, too.

Comment Waterproof, not hyper-shielded (Score 1) 505
That bulky cable going into the thing on his lap is waterproof, oil-proof, vibration-resistant and possibly Kevlar-jacketed. No doubt there's some shield but not very much more than COTS cables. Military Ethernet switches (e.g., http://sixnet.com/product/8-port-ip67-gigabit-managed-or-unmanaged-switch-174.cfm) are filled with resin to protect them from the harsh environment but not don't have any extra shielding.

"The user can set a time for how long the drop will exist, decide who can view the content, set permissions for who can alter the content and share content in a variety of ways" But the default for access is world-readable forever. Setting permissions more restrictively requires navigating three intermediate pages and viewing an on-line video ad.
