CGI lets any server-side script "print" to the browser. (Apache "httpd" is a modular "do everything" web server, which you can customize and fine-tune for performance -- but some s…

Perl works in all the new, and not-so-new, ways.

Does that really apply to people with outstanding skills in, e.g., programming? I can't imagine something less relevant to programming than formal education. It's not a good indica…

Because of regular expressions? I've seen a few frameworks do routing that way and it seemed clean to me. Are you saying nightmare because regexes are nightmarish, or something?

Why?

True, Perl 6 is an amazing fiasco! Every bad thing in software has happened, so it's the world's most sensational counter-example! Stay away! Hide your kids! P.S. But from close-up…

Complaining about the usage of "hacking" is also very tired.

Also, please eat more veggies.

I would say yes, but choose the bootcamp carefully.

Please do just one thing: make an appointment with a therapist to see if you have depression.

Hmm, how about if you build some kind of API to the legislative site's data somehow? Bills coming up, etc.? Or whatever data is there. Then a widget could display the data on other…

Hmm, just curious, have you used rdesktop, http://www.rdesktop.org/ ? It's been incredibly fast for me.

I have grown to really love Lubuntu because it strikes the perfect balance for older laptops. With a few tweaks, can look as beautiful though basic, and it uses RAM and CPU sparing…

Hmm, fragile in what way? For me, VMware Player has had only a couple minor hiccups in several years, and even VirtualBox has been (buggier but) very usable. (My machines are non-g…

"perl -c" checks syntax without executing. (Try it and you'll see a lot of syntax errors using perl 5, so no chance of it executing -- but even if you run it under perl 3, you have…

Oh man, I wish I knew. Have you noticed this one? You're editing a wrapped paragraph, you use the right-arrow key to move, and once you're at the end of -any- line, it suddenly jum…

You are assuming that everyone values the same things.

Replace the red "trackpoint" with the concave variety on eBay. It becomes incredibly ergonomic (the concave version let's you use a fraction of the pressure with greater accuracy).…

I see what you're saying, but I'm so glad I don't live in that world anymore.
