If a graduate at all. Consider: "PHP is an example of a scripted language. The computer or browser reads the program like a script,..." Hard to remember the last time my browser was reading a server-side script. ( or was it just "all those

Perhaps there is a reason for the interesting Google "suggestions" when you start your search with "paypal is" [ following the strategy on boy-/girlfriends at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1043476 ] Although there are customer ser

I do not see anything inappropriate about use of term "bashing" - which I take as meaning, "to criticize in an UNcontructive manner," perhaps with a hostile, degrading tone. Hopefully the comment he made was intended to be a parody of you

Bingo! Exactly why I often choose not to answer a question... suspicions about what following imposition is going to be attempted by the asker (and require more energy to bug out of once I've already admitted when "my flight was due in.

Yes, he won the 1990s war. ...and was able to retire and turn over the 2000s war to Steve B. That said, true: the CEO doesn't have to be the skilled presenter. But IMHO Jobs' central asset is his ability to judge how people are affected b

Ah... so Reuters blocks outside-U.S. visitors? Well, you didn't miss much here. He just notes that for many people cell phones replace much of functionality of many devices (citing: landline phones, watches, gps devices, cameras, iPods). Th

What does "it was likely to fail" mean. But it didn't. ...witness, yes, countless addicts. I've worked professionally (as biofeedback therapist) with scores of users of valium (and its cousins), and the withdrawal can be tricky/agonizing.

Moving along. Nothing to see here. Just another mediocre anti-tech or anti-connected rant.

on this side of pond, Morning Star Farms makes frozen "fake-meat" - found in frozen ("breakfast food") foods. Pretty darn good "sausage" patties - and "crumbles" (substitute for ground beef), precooked, but can be browned up a little more i

Is your library (or the governmental agency supporting it) unaffected by budget crisis (asssuming it's unconcerned about energy conservation on general principles)? I'd probably find the proper channels to report such wasteful practices.

What a great business plan: Harrass the jobless who are working on job applications (or maybe a startup?). Think they'll become loyal customers once they're employed? Weird business idea: figure out how to be supportive toward the down-a

Yes. You can find gossip everywhere online. And news that requires no actual research/journalism can_be/is replicated everywhere - and without Murdoch's overhead.

As I understand it, the low-MPG clunkers turned in are supposed to be guaranteed to be turned into scrap - not allowed to be resold.

Well, I don't think he's "trying to get us to use what they like?" I think he's writing an article with 'tude... and that can have a 'hot' link-bait title :/ That is the future of "journalism", is it not?

But what if we use "dead" to mean, "No longer in demand"? Or, "No longer marketable/saleable"? Hasn't the most really journalist "news" long been subsidized by gossip and "human interest"? For the small portion of population that values in-

Yes, I have to wonder if the long (till Q1 2010) wait isn't as much due to hashing out possible deals with potential wireless carriers: "And we shouldn’t have to wait a year or more for the device, the goal is Q1, according to the report. T

Yeah, I'd agree that there's a lot of validity to the comparison. Two business models that rested on laurels: never looking at the innovation strategies of Steve Jobs-type CEOs.

I don't think the Times would have dared post such a "story" by a male writer. "Sexist"? Well, maybe "sexploitationist"... It all seems like marketing to the LCD to me: combine "hot new tech issues" with "hot young females" -- and cont

Heh, heh, I feel your pain buddy. I'm in the metro area now but i've traveled around CO enough to have pity on anyone doing tech work (that expects any local receptivity). (But, sorry, that doesn't mean I'm interested in moving to your was

I agree - at least in regard to material that should be immutable (e.g., approved minutes to a meeting). But for blog posts... It's not a matter of locking it down ... it's a matter of getting the attribution included. And for most blog a
