   Error handling If your program has a runtime error or a compiletime error the interpreter will print "Parenthesis Mismatch" to standard output and then exit. Priceless. The sad thing is that most "modern" programming language

   Your main "defense" of PHP's flaws consists of saying "other languages suck similarly". Well congratulations, PHP is apparently a "worst-of" of programming idioms. I like me some caviar with my programmes.

   None of my colleagues have Facebook. They have fine lives. They don't give a shit about Facebook, it doesn't have to be part of your life at all.

   It won't be at the top of the other poll. It's getting about as much votes there as Haskell. If we consider the size of userbase for both languages, it's pretty clear that it's not liked in this community. With good reason, it's utterly med

   Do you think perhaps the project was not about "funny"?

   The keypresses could be stored until the form is sent, the javascript doing this could be heavily obfuscated, the message could be encrypted.

    The invention itself is not too scary, but the commentary of the researchers is. Perhaps we should silence people like them who put forth such dangerous ideas.

    I find that terse resources like this (and for example Code Like a Pythonista: Idiomatic Python[1]) are the best learning resources. A true goldmine. [1]: http://python.net/~goodger/projects/pycon/2007/idiomatic/han...

    If you want to get un-downvoted I think it would help your case if you provide us with more info than a wikipedia-page about dear Richard.

    You can be nice and tough at the same time. In fact your niceness counts for little if you cannot also be tough when life demands it. As for women: I don't want someone who is easily impressed by what I am not, nor someone who cannot judge

    Are there no infosec folks on HN, or are they just lurking? There are about 3 worthwhile comments in this thread, and yes I do realize mine isn't contributing, but I would love to hear more on this subject from the knowledgeable.

    I am lucky: I work in the village I grew up in. When I am too tired I tell my boss: "I am not productive, I am going home to sleep, I will work the remaining hours of the day at home after I wake up." My bed is then a 3 minute bicycle ride
