PHP CLI is brilliant and once I found out about it writing scripts and cron jobs became a lot simpler. I have php scripts that run on the command line that run for long periods of time. I have also found a lot of ways to reuse code original

I'm sure it is a licensing issue. If they had agreements for the models or the sound files they'd have to pay those people. I think doom was released without the original sound files. Perhaps that was quake.

The web experience is second best on any small device right now. If it is speed and access to the whole device, then you need to code for their API.

[perhaps nsfw link (adult novelties, etc)] We wanted to sound racy and to be non-graphic and originally had racytoys.com before we obtained http://racy.com last year.

Small cities as a whole suck, but Duluth is like a small town with the amenities of a huge city. International Airport, full shopping mall, 2 universities, symphony, aquarium, tech schools, thriving downtown, you name it. There is talent a

Left monitor has mozilla with tabs and behind that a terminal with database command line. Right monitor has outlook and my main terminal window plus itunes in the background (or whatever I'm listening to). It is incredibly nice to compare 2

I think it would be a great incentive to work less hours than 40. I feel I only put out 'great programming' 6 hours a day. The rest of the time is wasted. Having a great life-work policy as a startup may net more good people than wanting th

That is a great idea. 4 day workweek is enticing. Perhaps I'll be asking for that next.

You could always pay the person. Is that out of the question. Too often the payoff in the end is not worth it for programmers. They could have just worked a nominal job doing something else and actually make more money. Unless there is a su
