I would not be so sure. Previous to the collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 80's to early 90's, very few people expected that it would fall so soon. If asked, most people (including most historiand, political scientists, and politici

"Within a few short years, we can expect to be dealing with multi-million-thread programs running on million-core systems. This will no doubt stress the contemporary HPC software model which was developed in a time when 512 cores was a larg

So you're saying other languages have somehow magically managed to keep their third party packages and libraries from ever breaking? Or that they don't have dependencies? Look, when you've got a large enough library of third-party contribu

Here are some reasons for you: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=perl%2C+python%2C+ruby&#38... Python and Ruby aren't nearly as popular as Perl. CPAN, Perl's repository of libraries, is gigantic, having most everything you can think of a

The same could be said of any language. Perl's just gotten beat up on by fans of certain other upstart languages that want to steal some of Perl's glory. In five or ten years there'll be some other language fad, and those languages will ge

White text on a black background is much easier on the eyes than black text on white background. And, as far as the fonts being too small, you can always enlarge them with CONTROL-+ in opera. I think firefox has a similar feature. Don't

It's pretty sad that people have to have something so simple spelled out for them and given a catchy motto like "The Five Whys". Even sadder that it would be hailed as some revolutionary problem-solving technique.
