CGI lets any server-side script "print" to the browser. (Apache "httpd" is a modular "do everything" web server, which you can customize and fine-tune for performance -- but some say it has a steep learning c

Perl works in all the new, and not-so-new, ways.

Does that really apply to people with outstanding skills in, e.g., programming? I can't imagine something less relevant to programming than formal education. It's not a good indicator for me.

Because of regular expressions? I've seen a few frameworks do routing that way and it seemed clean to me. Are you saying nightmare because regexes are nightmarish, or something?

True, Perl 6 is an amazing fiasco! Every bad thing in software has happened, so it's the world's most sensational counter-example! Stay away! Hide your kids! P.S. But from close-up, it's the think-tank and test-bed of poten

Complaining about the usage of "hacking" is also very tired.

I would say yes, but choose the bootcamp carefully.

Please do just one thing: make an appointment with a therapist to see if you have depression.

Hmm, how about if you build some kind of API to the legislative site's data somehow? Bills coming up, etc.? Or whatever data is there. Then a widget could display the data on other sites. Just a (very conventional) thought.

> many of which would otherwise be on welfare I get what you're saying, but Walmart employment is (alas) very compatible with being a welfare recipient, and rather than preventing welfare, Walmart is actually subsidized by it (at le

It seems much more ancient than 2005 (I would have guessed 1990's).

Hmm, just curious, have you used rdesktop, http://www.rdesktop.org/ ? It's been incredibly fast for me.

I have grown to really love Lubuntu because it strikes the perfect balance for older laptops. With a few tweaks, can look as beautiful though basic, and it uses RAM and CPU sparingly. To me, it's a different distro because it only com

Hmm, fragile in what way? For me, VMware Player has had only a couple minor hiccups in several years, and even VirtualBox has been (buggier but) very usable. (My machines are non-gaming.)

"perl -c" checks syntax without executing. (Try it and you'll see a lot of syntax errors using perl 5, so no chance of it executing -- but even if you run it under perl 3, you have nothing to fear.)

Oh man, I wish I knew. Have you noticed this one? You're editing a wrapped paragraph, you use the right-arrow key to move, and once you're at the end of -any- line, it suddenly jumps down to the "..." (the toggle for d

You are assuming that everyone values the same things.

Replace the red "trackpoint" with the concave variety on eBay. It becomes incredibly ergonomic (the concave version let's you use a fraction of the pressure with greater accuracy).

I see what you're saying, but I'm so glad I don't live in that world anymore.

If you're saying "people who matter" value the superficial over substance, then I'd further conclude that they literally don't matter.

No offense to anyone, but I'll take that Berkeley kid any day.

Yes, it's used a lot. If you look through web server logs, you'll see tons of cases where a search engine spider performs a HEAD, and then based on the headers, it decides whether the content has changed since last fetched. If s

Linux is a hotel. There are the guests (users) who expect service. Then there is the concierge (distro) who smooths off the rough edges for the guests. Then there are the back-room employees (contributors) who keep things running. And b

Perhaps this is totally beside the point, but: * Usability nitpick 1: The course names are JS hyperlinks which happen to be tab-unfriendly (when non-mobile) * Usability nitpick 2: There's no real search, and the two select's have

Do you mean people who bought MS software, or other billionaires like Warren Buffet who gave money to the Gates Foundation?
