I wish we do. I just don't want to feel so lonely in such a large Universe. Life is probably something very common out there, the fact that we are not observing galaxy spanning civilizations doesn't prove that life is not out there. After a

I use CodeIgniter extensively and have also tried Kohana. How did I get there in the first place? I believe that the best code you can find is the one you can write, however, I only have one life and not enough time to rediscover the wheel,

Hey! I thought this question was philosophical! If you could save me two hours a day of commuting in heavy traffic by teleporting my body I would pay $ 39,000.

I would sell all my assets to buy www.thesixtyone.com which I view as one of the newer models for music sites emerging. I don't know if it is making money, I would just love to own it for its beauty! I agree that there is a need for greater

Validation should be done both at the entry level as well as the server. Banning inappropriate words is not as easy as it sounds and should also include things like viagra etc.. for spammers. Most routines out there will not capture this: a

Usability and shape is the biggest problem with this idea. However, if you had something in the fridge that would minimize the amount of air in the fridge that could work i.e a spring loaded mechanism of some sort that pushes back to allow

To this I say. It is your choice. You can stay at MS and continue developing desktop products. A 'Web Guy' has to deal with bad and ugly browser technologies, mixed language technologies, deal with scaling problems, worry about security etc

The book is an absolute beauty. Most of the routines are written in Pascal or pseudo code and the clarity of Pascal is still unbeatable.

Interesting feature. I know there is a jQuery plugin that uses flash for copy/paste. Anyone can figure how it is done on this page? (They have a combination of traditional javascript and jQuery on the page).

I have read the article and my point was different. I said .. and civilization as we know it will end. I used my elementary school maths. The current number of countries in the world are 192, since some of them have two capitals I rounded t

How about looking it also from another angle. How many missiles do you need to wipe out all the big Cities and capitals of the world. Probably only one missile per City. Given +- 200 countries and that is the end of civilization as we know

With webpages becoming more and more UI's rather than documents, I was thinking one needs something like an evolved morph. ftp://ftp.squeak.org/docs/Self-4.0-UI-Framework.pdf

Most probably we should. It is the most obvious answer. However we have not as yet managed to understand what matter is and how weird the sub-atomic world is. At a point causality seems to disappear and the world as we know it needs a trans
