Google didn't invent page rank, they stole the whole thing in 1996 from a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two kids at stanford. Have they even seen a dime of money since then?

GOOGLE IS MONSTERS!! rabble rabble rabble.

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?!).

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?

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?

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.

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.
