Consider the following experiments: - a poor man and a rich man are going to work when they each see a dollar coin on a sidewalk. Which of them would bother to pick it up? - a poor man and a rich man are both drunk after spending a night at

I'm saying this regarding my architecture. If I started again, I'd probably use the same technologies. And, I mean, everyone else is recommending Django and Ruby on Rails which are even older so why would you pick on my comment sp

My previous editor was notepad.exe. I just started using Emacs like a glorified Notepad and gradually figured out various features. The interactive help system is fantastic. C-h is your friend.
