@GeorgeMarian I'm not sure, I got distracted by the BP apology ad talking about getting back to shrimping that mysteriously appeared at the top of the screen.
@GeorgeMarian No, well, yes, but it would turn into chaos. The point is that President Mubarak is trying to hand over power to someone responsible. Not a group that will likely terrorize the country or do other similar things.
@GeorgeMarian True. Again, it's likely a culture thing. What happens in my house is none of my neighbors' business unless I choose to tell them. Mr. Mubarak knows the media's position. He was trying to avoid the media from riling people up, perhaps.
"ou" in words tends to screw me up. Or, I tend to screw them up.
@Moshe True, but if you're having an argument loud enough that your neighbors can hear and then you start drawing the shades and turning off the lights, people will wonder.
@GeorgeMarian There are times when I wish I had the ability to go stand before Congress, ask those people if they had any idea what they were debating, point out that they don't, and tell them to STFU, heh.
@Moshe Agreed. But, unless they want to go the hermit route, like North Korea, they're going to have to expect attention from the world when crap hits the fan.
@TimStone The horrid thing about it is that the tautology used to support the effort should be enough undo it. If having an Internet connection is so vital to the nation, why would we want to pull the plug?
@GeorgeMarian So we can save ourselves from all that cyber warfare going on, of course! When evil people are up in our tubes, we'll just shut the door. The next step will be to cover the country in a glass bubble, Simpsons-movie style.
@GeorgeMarian - Well stick at it, I recently discovered SL4A which is a Google labs project which puts a Python (and PHP, Perl, Javascript) interpreter on Android with APIs to make apps.
I'm also working on my blog/site, which I hope to launch soon. I think I may just have to go w/ some fee WP theme for the launch though. I have way too many projects going on.
@GeorgeMarian I know the feeling, I am snowed under and trying to clear some space for my projects but I have a ton of realllyyy boring horrid coding to do and I have procrastinated too long
@GeorgeMarian - I didn't like Django, preferred using mod_wsgi and splicing in middleware (like Beaker) and mixing-and-matching ... afterall Django is just a soup of standalone stuff
Well, I usually look at big-framework type stuff and go "what is this crap" and hate it ... then roll my own with bits and bobs of libraries. But that's my C-programming head :{
@Trufa - coding through a smelly stagnant septic tank of PHP trying to wrestle some simplicity and grace into its bracket encrusted, super-coupled claws
@AidenBell I took over some code from my brother. It's pretty rancid. Granted, he didn't have the time to work on it, hence why I took over that website for him.
@Trufa I've closed this browser tab using CTRL+W, thinking I was closing the browser window I had on my main screen.
I really need to get my delicious app done already, so I don't open and close so many browser windows.
@Trufa Yah, it's the whole unexpected thing. One of the reasons I like computers so much is I tell them what to do. Those occurances serve as reminder that when something effs up, it's probably my fault. :)
Gah, my spelling/typing is horrid tonight. And, I'm apparently confounding the spellchecker.
It keeps looking at me with that "say what?" look on it's face.
@GeorgeMarian - I am a firm believer that the first version to include all core functionality should be scrapped ... as it is usually code-while-learning-with-changing-specs and speed-over-cleanliness to deliver the functionality. Hence, while functional, unstable for long-term development.
@AidenBell Yah. That's part of the reason I'm going to start on my little vocab grabber first. That will initially be just a window dumping data into a CSV for import into a flash card program.

The SKY is falling ... we are now requiring 2 approvals per edit on Stack Overflow (only) ... turns out this change did not make anything any slower ... and turns out people are not super blocked all the time
Gah. Gaming is taunting me. There were 9 candidates, so I got ready to schedule the THC assuming there won't be a primary. Now there's a 10th candidate....
I'm actually curious how they managed that, I tried to hack the extension but was having trouble figuring out how the hell to get the content type at that stage of the processing due to the Firefox API..
Excellent -- the bag of silica gel my new hard drive was packaged with burst in transit and filled my drive with little pebbles. It sounds like a rain stick when I shake it
This is migrated from a suggestion I made at UserVoice.
Often times I am not interested in the question so much as I am the answer. Unfortunately, the only site option for bookmarking an optimal answer is to bookmark the question. This leaves you having to remember that no the question wasn't th...
It was probably rejected because starring questions is not so you can bookmark them -- that's what bookmarks are for. Starring questions is for if you see a question that isn't answered and think "hey, I want to know the answer to that"; now that it's starred you'll get notified of any answers. Starring answers doesn't have the same use case
People completely abuse/misuse the concept of favorited posts
Proposed Q&A site for computer science students doing their homework. CSH will be a site where computer science students can ask their homework questions and receive answers.
Considering Facebook is being valued at $50 billion and Google is being turned down when they offer $6+ billion for little startups... maybe Newscorp can actually get their investment back.

@MichaelMrozek, I think it would have the major advantage of no particular group being 'in charge'. Right now, atheism does feel a bit like a lot of backslappers asking themselves rhetorical questions.
Oy...what a fail.. I'm looking over the Zend Certification study guide (a beta of what's distributed w/ the new 5.3 test). It fails to mention that variable names can only start with an underscore or a letter which was one of the sample questions in the webinar about the cert and where I got the link to the document.
I actually took it several years ago. I failed. :( It asked a lot of stuff about PHP engine internals, which at the time I hadn't explored to the extent that makes me loathe them now, hahah.
Yeah, I'm trying to remember what was on the test back when I took it. That was a really long time ago (Think having to ask hosts to switch you to PHP5), hopefully they've changed it a lot since then. I did well on the prep tests, just not the main event.
I want to be able to run WSGI apps but my current hosting restricts it. Does anybody know a company that can accommodate my requirements?
It is very, very unlikely we will ever do this.
