It could also stay still and "move" can mean "move backwards", so the title is sensationalist at best.

So, you're basically admitting that the language has nothing to do with your complain. There are lazy people in every programming language and it's possible to write spaghetti code in every programming language as well.

"An ugly programming language"? PHP syntatically follows the same style as Perl and C, so you're basically saying all three are ugly? Or maybe you're saying that only about PHP because it makes you look so cool?
Seriously now, if you wanna criticize a programming language do so by using technical arguments, this is not a beauty pageant.

See http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/ - a great javascript/css/widget lib with far better support, cross-browser compatibility, and breadth than things like prototype.js will ever get.

Submission + - What's missing from Vista's "official apps"
PetManimal writes: "Microsoft has just released a list of 800 applications it says are "officially supported" on Windows Vista. What's special about this list, however, are the programs that are not included:
Another area in which Vista has found to be lacking is gaming, as discussed earlier on Slashdot."Popular Windows software that is conspicuously missing from Microsoft's list includes Adobe Systems Inc.'s entire line of graphics and multimedia software, Symantec Corp.'s security products, as well as the Mozilla Foundation's open-source Firefox Web browser, Skype Ltd.'s free voice-over-IP software and the OpenOffice.org alternative to Microsoft Office
Submission + - Ex-judge Gets 27 Months on Evidence from Hacked PC
netbsd_fan writes: A former California judge has been sentenced to 27 months in prison for possession of illegal pornography, based entirely on evidence gathered by an anonymous vigilante script kiddie in Canada. At any given time he was monitoring over 3,000 innocent people: "I would stay up late at night to see what I could drag out of their computers, which turned out to be more than I expected. I could read all of their e-mails without them knowing. As far as they were concerned, they didn't know their e-mails had even been opened. I could see who they were chatting with and read what they were saying as they typed."

Ballmer Repeats Threats Against Linux 470
daria42 writes "Steve Ballmer has reissued Microsoft's patent threat against Linux, warning open-source vendors that they must respect his company's intellectual property. In a no-nonsense presentation to New York financial analysts last week, Microsoft's chief executive said the company's partnership with Novell, which it signed in November 2006, "demonstrated clearly the value of intellectual property, even in the open-source world.""
Submission + - Which Embedded Linux Distribution?
Abhikhurana writes: I work for a company which designs a variety of video surveillance devices (such as MPEG4 video servers). Traditionally, these products have been based on proprietory OSs such as Nucleus and VxWorks. Now we are redesigning a few of our products and I am trying to convince my company to go down the Linux route. Understandably, our management is quite sceptical about that and so I was asked by our CTO to recommend a few RTOSs which have mature Networking stacks and which work well on ARM platform. I know that there are many embedded linux based distributions out there. There are commerical ones such as Montavista, LynuxWorks, free ones such as uclinux, muLinux and some Linux like distros such as Ecos, but which is the most stable and best community supported embedded Linux distribution out there?

Breeding isn't the real problem, as we always need younger brains and muscles. Eldery is the problem, as much as retirement. Europe is having this problem right now: too many people over 60 years old, and they are living even more every day. Humanity is the problem of this world :P
