  1. @ericsbrain Agreed. At the end of the day, they give all of us an undeservedly bad name.
  2. Head hurt. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
  3. When will they learn that if bids are this low, you get what you pay for? http://www.getafreelancer.c...
  4. @v_tomev Ah, OK :) If you have to migrate an entire system, good luck. It can be lots of work. (And it's "Perl", not "PERL" :)
  5. @v_tomev You can understand basic Perl in 5 or 10 lessons, but it's a huge language. Becoming a pro takes years (and "pro" in which area?)
  6. @albeedo CCTV ne réduit pas la criminalité au Royaume Uni. Pourquoi serait-il le faire en France?
  7. @alecthegeek One would assume so ... unless it turned out to be insanely wealthy and donating lots of money to the Republican party ;)
  8. @b10m "nope" to "anyone in my social networks" or "marijuana should be legal"? :)
  9. Is there anyone in any of my social networks who thinks #marijuana should remain #illegal? If so, why?
  10. @szabgab I've certainly no idea, but asking immigrants to respect your values of free speech and women's rights seems important.
  11. Is it right to ask #immigrants to embrace a new #culture at the expense of the immigrant's culture? http://bit.ly/5jMOgT
  12. That testing tip makes it much easier to organize and find tests. You can even make the final name something like preferred-exceptions.t
  13. #perl #testing tip: name your tests like you name the library. lib/My/Customer/Preferred.pm should be tested in t/my/customer/preferred.t
  14. Echoes my thoughts on Obama's lack of support for civil liberties: http://www.freshjive.com/pr...
  15. @obra Patience. They will probably have closures in #Java 7. It's about time.
  16. Disappointed to discover that the Parrot Compiler Toolkit hasn't been maintained.
  17. Somewhat tempted to write a #COBOL compiler on #Parrot. Would allow COBOL users to gradually migrate away. http://bit.ly/8ZJMvE
  18. @rozallin Most work was Dave Cross and SixApart. I mostly did bug reporting (sometimes prodding to ensure the others weren't dead :)
  19. @szabgab s/read/ready/. And "relaunched" as in "would you pretty please try it again?" :)
  20. @szabgab Not yet. Needs a memory upgrade last I checked. Hopefully should be read in a couple of days and can be relaunched.
