I won't defend PHP as a language, but from an accessibility point of view, other platforms could certainly make things easier. Coming from a PHP background, the first time I tried Django, I was rather dismayed at the amount of set up involv

I've found that you can write reasonably complex GUI applications using the current Apple API documents for reference and for the most part get the results you expect. The trouble is the few times when it doesn't behave as expected. I trie

I agree with this. The "New Channel" button definitely needs to be on the main toolbar. Maybe as "Create a New Channel"?

What struck me as disappointing about Facebook is that, despite my friends being an interesting bunch, I could never seem to provoke any kind of discussion on Facebook. It seems that most of the people I had a connection with view Facebook

Is it considered acceptable to offer a connection to one of your employer's customers if you have spoken with them personally (but don't work in sales etc)?

Which leaves me wondering: Why is there no credible alternative to PayPal? I would have thought that there would be plenty of money in this kind of business given the fees PayPal is able to charge. Although I imagine that it's a very diff

Suits can be found in charity shops and shoes are cheap if you buy them in end of season sales. Whether or not you drive to work is down to necessity I guess. For some it's a necessary evil, especially if they live and work a long way apa

There are various reasons why that may not be the case. For example, the employee may have had the misfortune of recently having been made redundant and subsequently spent their savings and accumulated debt whilst searching for a new job.

As defined in this case, an "old-skool" virus would be one written in assembly whose primary vector of infection is by embedding itself in executable files.

Do viruses of this type (exe infecting) still have much impact "in the wild"? Most news these days seems to be about worms and trojan horses. I presume this is because it's harder to transport a "useful" payload inside of a true virus, so

I'm not obligated to wear a suit to work, and I don't mainly for reasons of economy and the fact that I'm too lazy to take care them properly. Despite that, I still agree with everything that is said in the grandparent post.

This actually does a really good job of explaining to me why clisp macros are important. Something that I haven't really been able to absorb from any of the other tutorials I've read. Thanks.

Indeed. I've become quite enamoured of late with the automatic reference counting in the Boost C++ library as a happy medium between GC and manual reference counting. Of course, ObjC has no static allocation, so that can't be done here.
