You seem like a nice human being, truly wishing death upon someone because they find your precious sob story hokey is the hallmark of someone who is empathic and mature. EDIT: Oh wait, I see now! It was not your intention to actually emulat

As long as we are dictating what other people should be thinking about here is a quote from the late great James Baldwin I think you should mull over. 'Sentimentality, the ostentatious parading of excessive and spurious emotion, is the mark

What logic? What are you talking about? The US is above Israel on every sub-index. Besides it is obvious that it is relative to population because in absolute terms the US would far outstrip any competitors.

There is an index that tries to measure innovation called the Global Innovation Index ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Innovation_Index_%28INSE... ), interestingly Israel comes in at 14th, you'd think they would be number one if this a

If you need that big of a crutch then you shouldn't be attending university in the first place.

> no matter how much more educated you are then this simple peasant, she knows she can humiliate you Education doesn't make you superior to anyone, and calling an honest worker a "peasant" shows that you are not especially enlightened.

Isn't it a bad idea to retrieve any url since then an attacker could use this service to sql inject without leaving his IP on the victims log?

When you know you could save pages of code with it, being without proper higher-order functions is beyond tedious.

Then you should avoid the word fuck instead of bowdlerizing it.

I've also been interested in DSLs and found some very cool code samples implementing an EDSL (embedded DSL) for describing shapes. I have looked at it countless of times for ideas when I'm writing my own. Although the code is in Haskell I t

With tools like this I'll probably remain unemployable indefinitely as anyone with a subscription will find my quaint short stories. Written at a time of youthful tribulation they read like PKD with a sadistic streak. Or I could just get a
