Honest criticism here with suggestion on how to please me.
I wasn't interested viewing a website I saw last week as a pdf. What I suggest doing is checking out how arc90 made the readability bookmarklett, scoop content that way so that it works on your pages with your own magazine-like design that isn't boring. Include top comments, and create a section for discussions (comments that get a lot of replies/nesting). I go far out of my way to un-style every website to be nice and uniform without superfluous content screaming at me from every direction (why did gopher:// have to die?!).

Pass this bill along to 10 of your closes friends.

Congrats, I suspected a higher cost of defeating this test.

Lovely, but I could spend $500 and have the matching answers in a nice database I could resell.

Are you kidding me? Clearly you don't have the kickass bookmarklett installed.

I would say if you're using MyISAM for basic things, you might as well go with SQLite.

That's actually what I'm looking at right now. I'm half way into my project and it's all freaking mysql :( On the plus side, the SQL is abstracted decently enough that I don't have to change my body of code to any major degree.
Any experience or articles you like that talk about transitioning between the two?

FYI, your English looks rather good for someone who's learning it. The only real issue I saw is how you make almost every sentence into it's own paragraph.

If my PHP connects to a mysql database on the same host, and I sell that host as a product, I need to release that php code?

I had a very similar book in 1993 when I was 5 years old, for qBasic. Got me started with programming.

Could be anything from my wildly different views on the world (theism vs atheism; government's place, opinions of other people, etc...), to being the middle child. My two sisters seem to get along fine with them.

Teach your child two things:
How to learn.
How to keep his/her creative in a world that tries it's best to kill it.

I'm going to get my future wife to put headphones on her belly and play a 24/7 loop of the speech Jor-El gave superman from the movie.
Kid will come up a winner.

I still telnet. So much fun!
Wish gopher's were still around. I was thinking of using a gopher to do a blog with.

I grew up confused and depressed, meanwhile, my parents did their best to show me every day they loved me and still do, but I feel entirely distant from them. I'm over 20 years old.
GG logic, gg.

Sorry I didn't precisely mean understandable. I mean that's now how your average user wants to learn the system. If I can't figure it out in 3 minutes I go "screw this, it's complicated" and go away back to "File-> save as-> TheEntireProject-Backup2-version8-March11-2009.code" again.
But maybe I shouldn't be concerned with programmers like that.

I'm glad to see the increase in GIT tutorials, about a year or two ago there wasn't anything out there except confusing circles that you spin in for people who already know GIT.
Perhaps a blog like the daily VIM might be a great idea for any keen hackers out there.

I've suggested people use it for their office documents.
