It's just off-balance, with all focus on "io". Talk about a beautiful name as well.

I'm not very sure that deathbed regrets are a good indication of how to live, or even of what was truly important in people's lives. Vaguely related, I used to have days when right before falling asleep I had some regrets about the day, lik

Not trolling, honest question: why is PHP still used? What makes it preferable over alternative server-side technologies? I have programmed PHP before, and I know I could just Google this question, but this kind of search usually turns up r

map is an easy and powerful concept, but a comprehension resembles natural language better. I agree though that map is more _expressive_ (a more concise and comprehensive way of communicating).

That's a start, but people only read that name after they've read the quote. Helpful conventions for quotes are: "quotes" - Linus Torvalds quotes - Linus Torvalds

What's that Bible thing you speak of? Does it contain any more gems of wisdom, possibly about dinosaurs? Or its' recurrent laryngeal nerve? I'm in great anticipation of your reply.
