I watched Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers with my kids. We'd make a "movie night" of it and watch it together, bunched up in the sofa, with some cheese doodles. The 20 minute episodes were just about short enough to keep their

If you do need a heli, you are hardly an average person, are you? And aren't helis mostly used when you specifically need the ability to land on a building or hover?

And I disagree with that point. India is a large country. I believe having a space program is a sensible long term investment. A space program is not a luxury.

In hn of all places, I'd expect people to appreciate the benefits of a space program. Are you saying that should not be a priority because they recieve aid? I mean, there is valid criticism of any aid program, and you pick that ?

The code becomes kind of weird when you have to second guess the language. Now, the approach PHP takes is fine for the original vision of the language. It even works great. But languages designed for long running processes often have some s

Ruby and python aren't exactly known to be fast. In my experience php is fast enough until you start generating lots of garbage. It seems it wasn't really designed to garbage collect at all, but to rely on the per-request cleanup.

Some people are enthusiastic about compact casettes as well. It's just nostalgia, rationalized as some unquantifiable "warm" sound. The same thing will happen with mp3s. Remember those random clicks and skips of early, buggy

I meant you could do the development on inexpensive consumer hardware, without even a developer license. Then, when you have something worthwile to show a publisher, you could arrange a devkit.

Obviously, most apis themselves were done at the iphone launch, and wouldn't take much more work. The rest, all the infrastructure needed to have a working app store would be a much more substantial project. It is this part that would

I believe they had the appstore and sdk planned all along, but couldn't get it ready in time. Rather than saying, "we will have an sdk too, sometime", they played it off as intentional, and continued working on it silently. T
