You'd think after five years in php I would have picked up on that nifty method to chain methods together. (referring to : function Obj($methods=array()) ) Awesome hack dude.

You pull the gun. He pulls one. Stalemate? Double homoicide? Flight? You survive but get injured? Or worse yet you injure yourself? Have you ever been in a situation where you pulled a gun on someone in a moment of fear? Are you sure

I bought Fallout from them - I really hope they find a way for me to download it one more time, I really liked that game.

... Why was this modded down? Is the reasoning wrong, or is there some troll going on that I don't know about? It seems quite realistic to me.

I'm on Chrome 6 on Ubuntu. It's telling me that my browser isn't supported. (Reason #101 why I hate browser sniffing, no one ever gets it right). Beyond that, I wish you the best of luck, it sounds like something I can use.

Your figures are quite off. The mood of this thread suggests I will be modded down but: 1) How much is the real tax on the top 5%? 2) How much of the national income do the top 5% of earners make? 3) How much of the income do they make beca

Looks like the iPad version of the site. I thought it worked for the iPad, but I'm not sure about the web.

You cannot possibly expect an honest reply if you go in with an attitude that reeks of prejudice. Islam's early spread included conquest, and also included very real economic aspects that were appreciated by its adherents. The religions in

While I agree with the comment in general, my norm is to immediately cancel and reschedule or go on without the person. The victimization aspect (3 wasted hours) could also be avoided by not passively sitting and waiting to start.

For what it's worth (and I know you don't care) each of those verses have a historic context in which they were invoked. It's a hamfisted critique at best, and utterly ridiculous when you consider that it is being made by someone who has th

I found this to be a very interesting article, but doesn't this describe life in 3rd world countries everywhere? Why is it so shocking simply because it happened in Europe? "It behaves as a collection of atomized particles, each of which h

For what it's worth, I also could resume using some variant of x-modem that I don't recall in detail, but I always preferred running ZModem. I don't get why I still have problems resuming downloads from websites.

Not native, but I can read most kanji at 10px. (Some of the more complex ones with 12 or more strokes can be a bit difficult but you can usually guess them from context)

I studied classic Arabic when I was much younger for religious purposes. I never found it particularly difficult, but whenever I try to read normal Arabic it becomes an exercise in futility. I wonder if there is a real difference between

My moral compass has always been tilted towards meeting the needs of people before their wants. That said, I have read some awful things about the Bill Gates foundation so I'm a bit wary of taking his side.

I noted everyone saying it was crashing their browser / etc.., but it worked perfectly on my computer (dual core, cheap video card, Chrome).

For what it's worth, the ie stats for Japan look like bullshit from where I'm standing. Leaving out mobile browsers, a company I work for has almost 80% of it's users using IE6. I would not discount piracy as a major cause but i wonder if t

I'm a bit depressed that you are being downvoted. This article, right or wrong, is about perception; your comment perfectly captures the way the same act can be perceived by different groups. Can one of the down modders please explain why

If the scroll feature works, wouldn't that indicate that multitouch is enabled and functional? Am I misreading it? If it is the case, I probably will pick up a magic mouse for my Ubuntu box. -edit- The scroll function only requires one fin

Coming to this late but... This happened about 10 years ago. I was out in Chinatown and came upon a knock off of a Transformer I wanted for a long time (G2 Laser Rod Optimus Prime). I bought him on the spot for 4$ and took him home. When

Sorry about that, I'm a bit embarassed because I feel the exact same way (particularly about misuses of "I couldn't care less")

The black vans weren't them; you're thinking the Uyoku. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyoku_dantai It could have been a political group but somehow I doubt they would be stupid enough to turn the volume to 11.

They are quite a cult but honestly, religion in Japan is very difficult for me to grok. All the members of these "New Religions" that I've met seem to be old/facing mortality, with two exceptions. As for Kofuku Jitsugen To, you probably kno

Good guess, but no; it was, believe it or not, one of those fundamentalist Korean "Christian" churches that are located in and around Okubo. (My girlfriend, who was raised as a Christian, told me that they refused to read anything but one
