   If my memory is correct something very similar happened also during the testing of the first 'Star Wars' missiles. The given cost is pure bull. Autocad has a facility where one can convert from metric to imperial dimensions. It would not co

   You can even get more thrifty by saving on vars as well :) and conserve some more electrons besides those affected by semicolons. _obj.publicVariable = 'bar' _obj.publicMethod = function(){} Personally I cannot type any statemen

    Thanks for the links. IMHO artists have tried for centuries to capture 'moods' with colour and they did a much better job that I could ever do. Kandinsky's book is interesting even if what he is saying is mostly metaphorical. However, some

    Good points, I got into programming at about the same time and was discussing the same question the other day with some colleagues. Conclusion, the best web languages at the moment are the ones YOU know well. Unfortunately for me this means

    I watched it on TV. Highly impressive, perhaps more impressive than the opening ceremony of the Olympics. The pictures actually don't do it justice to the marches. I wish my code was as neat as this ;)

    I can relate partially to this. To learn a language fully you need to work on a fairly good size project and one morning you will have 'flow'. It is similar to learning a human language. You need to get to the point where you 'think' in the
