But still not as elegant as: echo "Ciao mondo"->it_to_en(); would be.

Really? From my experience English to Spanish translation works pretty well in Google Translate. I've been using it a lot when I started to live in Spain and my Spanish skills were not too great yet: people were actually complementing me fo

How is the codebase? OOP? MVC? Do they still use those weird file extensions (it was ".include" or ".module" maybe, don't remember now)?

Actually I wasn't referring to the fact that they hide protocol, that is indeed questionable move. What it's cool it's how they present you an information about security level of the site - check it. Edit: plus if this http://news.ycombin

That address field feature is a cool idea. I'd expect other browsers "copying" it soon, which would make it another item on a list entitled "Invented by Opera, popularized by others".

Huh? I don't have any problems with Gmail under Opera. As for the "who downvoted" I guess it was someone who thinks that it's Google that should be blamed for most of "the problems" with Google's services under Opera. It's a browser that's

This reminds me of "Sign Up Forms Must Die" article by Luke Wroblewski ( http://www.alistapart.com/articles/signupforms/ with some additional resources here: http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1219 )

"Speaker for the Dead" might make it. Also, following the theme of more philosophical aspects of exploring new planets, "Solaris" could be a good choice too. Both books are classics ("Solaris" of a literature in general, not only of sci-fi)

Sorry for being cynical, but for me this story reads more or less like: there's a guy who didn't have enough balls to opt out only by himself and thus decided to find others to join him (he even brought some papers to show), and the others

I'd though that, for example, guns are quite often made of heavy metals, don't they?

I'm not sure if I'd really feel better when surrounded by armed soldiers and being questioned a couple of times on my way to the plane (also inside the bus that takes me to the airport as I understand) than if I would just have to go throug

Certainly they took some lessons from Wave, and that's good, for all the flop it was it had quite a lot of good ideas, and the main goal, of making "a better e-mail" was also something I was supporting. Let's see, maybe this will mobilize o

Does anyone here have already used it? I wonder about two things: file attachments, are they there? and 2nd thing: multi-persons conversation: can you add a new person to an already existing conversation? how does it work with chat or phone

For many people that won't be a problem - I think of those who already use Facebook inbox regulary, many of them already more often than e-mail. I've found out myself doing it more often recently. Why? It's easier and more convenient - when

Not only that, it was also that Smarty2 is PHP4 code, and in recent years anyone reasonable moved to PHP5 and its' reacher OOP features - you still could use Smarty there but a) it could produce some technical problems B) it was totally not

"Detailed terms" for that bet, where they define what "destroy Earth" means are a good read.

For me it's UI responsiveness - seems I must be one of few people in the world that care about it since I've never seen any article or benchmark on that (there was a couple about startup times), so I'm not even sure if it isn't only a matte

well, ruby and python, in your original post you've said c# is no better than java or perl, that makes "a bit" of a difference...

Seriously? I mean, I'm doing my job using the, let's call them, open-source languages: javascript, php, bit of python, java and perl, but, still, I would say that C# is better than most of them, both in terms of the lanuage syntax, features

Opera Mini tells you about that (and that the connection isn't actually protected) and discourage you from continue when you try to enter any https site.

"This is a really terrible guide." would be just enough to sum up this guide. If you're JavaScript newbie just skip it all along and spend that saved time on reading anything from someone like Douglas Crockford.

Until recently I was looking at TDD as a necessary evil - yes, it saves your ass a lot of times, but writing tests doesn't feel fun nor very productive - I don't know if I can speak for others, but for myself there are two things that I lik

Having it working around PHP's inconsistency in function naming would be great, e.g. if I look for "str_pos" the first result should be "strpos".

Author tried a cheap trick of attracting audience by using a title of a big "shock-value". But the truth is not as bad as that title suggest: the most important thing about Google Groups, discussions that is, are not going anywhere, it's on
