Angus_Young: "Perl is like a giant diesel-powered Leatherman pocket tool .. with microscope, lathe, chainsaw, and laser scalpel tools, a trailer hitch, tank treads, a radio, and a winch..."
Angus_Young: "Python is Legos.. You can start out with Duplo, then work up to regular Lego blocks, but they'll both work together. As you get more advanced, there are gears and engines sets avalible, and pneumatics."
Angus_Young: "Tcl is like a small swiss army knife. Rexx is also a small swiss army knife, but it's an older surplus model from IBM."

The Missing Open Source Projects, from an Enterprise POV
posted by coderman at 2003-07-16 04:01

coderman: 3. Single Sign-on -- More than 50% of the calls to help desks are for password resets. Merrill Lynch now spends 2 billion a year on IT. 20% of that is user support, and if half of that is password resets, are they really spending $200 million a year?
matthew: Note bad logic in previous comment. Password resets are the 5 second support calls; all the money goes to the hours-long ones.
coderman: software rulez
coderman: yeah, i bet they waste a mere $2-4 million on passwords

Volkswagen's New Beetle and Apple's iPod Unite
posted by kherr at 2003-07-16 03:04

kherr: Buy a Beetle, get a free iPod complete with pre-installed mounting bracket.
lemonodor: from the forum: "The mounting kit is currently only for the Beetle with the newer swivel mount cupholders and is made by Belkin for VWoA. It is only a cassette tape adapter right now (meaning it plays through the tape player), but VW and Apple are working on a better solution. Apparently Steve Jobs himself is involved in this directly (go figure)."

burtonator: Jonathan Goode (grade 7) applied findings from many fields of science to support his conclusion that God designed women for homemaking: physics shows that women have a lower center of gravity than men, making them more suited to carrying groceries and laundry baskets;
burtonator: fuck is this site funny!
burtonator: "Patricia Lewis (grade 8) did an experiment to see if life can evolve from non-life. Patricia placed all the non-living ingredients of life - carbon (a charcoal briquet), purified water, and assorted minerals (a multi-vitamin) - into a sealed glass jar. The jar was left undisturbed, being exposed only to sunlight, for three weeks. (Patricia also prayed to God not to do anything miraculous during the course of the experime
