| What do you think of Perl?
And to keep this from being a six word post, here is a sentence simply added to make the post longer. |

| You would have to use an image tag to place an image 100% of the width an height of the cell its in, then somehow use css to have your text appear over it.
Chances are though, it would look stupid on longer posts, since it would bee all stretched out. |

| If any country will put the effort, money and time into making alternative energy sources pay off, it will likely be China. They can afford to do it, and its not like The Party has to worry about being voted out if it doesn't immediately pay off.
As expensive as it would be to develop alternative energy sources, it would likely be considerably cheaper then building and maintaining a massive international military presence, just to protect an energy source that's not going to last forever anyway. |

| Even if it hasn't always worked out great, the Chinese government has a history of thinking in the long term. With skyrocketing oil consumption, they're obviously going to have to do something. Also, you ignored my second paragraph. | |||

| Back to the original topic: I hate the death penalty. But as long as the Iraqis have the death penalty, I don't see any reason for them to spare Saddam specifically. They have every right to operate their judicial system as they see fit. | |||

| PHP in a lot of ways is better suited for server side web scripting. Mainly because that's what it was designed for. Perl tends to be much more powerful, but its often overkill. Although I don't agree that PHP has replaced Perl in that area, I'm pretty sure Perl is still the dominant language.
The symbols used with variables in Perl don't do the same thing as int and char in C, those show data type, rather then variable type. Perl is a high level language, data types are based on context, its not necessary to declare data types. The symbols, called sigils, ($, @, %), show variable type, and are part of the variable name, not just used when declaring a variable. A lot of the complaints people have with Perl come from expecting it to work like other languages. Which is a somewhat valid argument, since the major differences (like for instance the way variable and data types work) tend to increase the learning curve. Admittedly, Perl isn't for everyone, its a very loose, and purposely unrestrictive language. It "doesn't try to tell the programmer how to program". This is what I love about Perl. This is also what others hate about it. But if you take the time to learn and understand the language, its has many advantages over other languages. As its motto says: "It makes easy tasks easy and difficult tasks possible". Batch parsing and editing jobs can normally be done with no more then a command line argument to the interpretor. But I've also used it for more complicated jobs (such as a GUI for a game system, with earthbound styles menus with "slide in" window effects, sounds and on screen controls) that I wouldn't even attempt with a less powerful language. Even Python or Java would have likely required more work, time, a code, and would have resulted in a more resource intensive program. |

| Well, my main complaint with US politics is the "two party system". To have a shot at winning, candidates have to simply choose one side or the other. So parties are more like teams than anything, more concerned with winning, and defeating their opponent then promoting any specific ideals.
So you have the Republican Party being taken over by neoconservatism (more liberal then conservative, really) and formally fringe elements of extreme social conservatism, in an effort to "energize the base" over relatively trivial issues. Then the Democrat are bastardizing there former ideals to "appeal to the center". Basically an "if you can't beat them join them" philosophy. I also find it annoying that each side is very quick to tout the benefits their proposals, and point out the consequences of the other side's opposing plan. But neither side even tries to be pragmatic about things and try to find a plan that bring the benefits, while minimizing the consequences. |

Originally posted by Hiryuu Because, its no easier to click on and read a story posted in a forum specifically for it than it is in the Modern Art forum. I'm not voting against it though, since I don't think it would hurt anything, I just don't think it will help either. The real problem is probably just presentation. If people posted their stories in easy to read "bite size" portions, then people would likely read along, await future installments, and of course leave comments. But what normally happens is people click on a thread, see a massive wall of text, their eyes glaze over, and they move on to the next thread. I'm not saying it's right, but that's just the way it is. |

| Iraq has the death penalty. Saddam committed crimes that under Iraqi law warrant the death penalty. Therefor he was put to death.
I don't see what the big debate is here. Should they have made a special exemption just for him? |

Originally posted by Alkis No, because that's not the law. Originally posted by Ziff The rule of law may not be fully established, but the death penalty was reinstated over two years ago. Executing Saddam may be considered an attempt appease certain groups, and it may be, but its just carrying out Iraqi law. Making a special exemption just for Saddam, is circumventing Iraqi law, and would defiantly be just an attempt to appease Sunnis. |

| I think he's saying he can't see layouts.
If that's the case you need to make sure you're logged in and you have layouts turned on in your profile. |

| I honestly don't even buy that's what actually happened. I just can't see two kids constructing a working noose, getting it securely attached to a ceiling fan, and carrying out an 'execution', all while their parents are in the next room. | |||

Originally posted by Alice Yes, children are delicate. And something like that may be how it happened. I have no doubt the kid was strangled, I just don't buy the mock Saddam execution story. |

| I originally thought this public torture idea was a failed attempt a humor, but the since he's stuck with it so long, I figure he's either serious, or it's now become a successful attempt at humor. | |||
