There's no relation, but I'd happily do anything the song describes

8=D

if I'd had a daughter when I stopped really giving a shit about this place, she'd have eaten cum at least once by now.

probably a son too.

but it's nice to hear from/about people other than Vlad. cheers.

Sorry, you're right. I mistook a proxy written in nodejs by one of our programmers for a standard library for nodejs.

"But it does what php can’t: a nodejs application is its own server and runs continuously"

Not true. Because PHP has wrappers to all the underlying C-functions you need to create a socket server. See socket_ functions.

Also, you can fork new processes with the pctnl_ functions and have IPC with the shmop_ functions.

Using this functionality you could build a more advanced webserver than node.js which, btw, has some terrible bugs in its socket reading algorithms.

Not only do we have basic academic knowlegde, we should have basic common sense.

Like: 5 minutes of pressing some buttons on a calculator using totally speculative numbers and probably not taking into account even half of the factors that actually come into the equation does not make a scientific study.

So please pipe down a bit, Taco Cowboy, and have some respect for those who are making serious studies on the subject by not assuming you can refute years of combined research in 5 minutes. Thanks!

Back in 2007, the NY Times endorsed Hillary Clinton and John McCain in the primaries. So I'm sure they endorsed McCain for the general election, right?

Virginia has an open primary. It wouldn't be the first time crossover voters affected the outcome.

No disrespect intended, but let's say we stop some random people on the street and ask them to name a famous hardware hacker. I bet that question isn't showing up on Family Feud anytime soon!

What can we do to increase the public awareness (and create more hardware hackers)? I was thinking perhaps high schools could have shop classes for nerds -- instead of working on engines, wood working, etc, it would be hardware and software.

Congress/Parliment/etc write tax laws. If companies (or other people) follow the rules to minimize their tax burden, is that bad? Exemptions and credits exist to encourage that! Don't blame the player, blame the game.

my cable modem doesn't do wifi and isn't the cable co's property. Next time don't rent a POS modem from the cable co? The NSA and cable cos would prefer otherwise, of course.

Stick to leather -- it doesn't absorb farts. My buddy has a cloth chair that is oversaturated with farts. Aside from the permanent stench -- which would be bad enough -- it releases a gas bomb if you ever sit in it.

All the ghetto thugs and gang bangers are too busy playing Office Space V, the game where you pretend to be a white collar IT worker cranking out TPS Reports, avoiding Lumberg, and browsing slashdot at work.
