Playboy Joke and Comments

So I was reading the new September Playboy issue and came across this joke:

Scientific research recently revealed evidence that female hormones are present in beer.A group of twenty men were given six pints of beer each.One hundred percent of men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn’t drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, and refused to apologize when wrong.

On another note, this issue also has an excellent interview with Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Google’s head hanchos), not to mention a stunning centerfold, some neat drink tips, and even “Women of the Olympics”. Oh yeah, and I’m only halfway through it.

Perl vs PHP5

Edit: Sorry brian d foy. See comments.

brian d foy writes in this article, O’Reilly Network: Perl versus PHP 5, that he’s seen a lot of complaints about how hard it is to install modules in Perl. Now either he doesn’t use Perl, or maybe he just doesn’t know.

perl -MCPAN -e ‘install Module::Name'

That’s it. PHP doesn’t have a vast module network. I don’t hate PHP, but sooo many security issues, im ALWAYS upgrading mod_php. Perl is my language of choice. I’ve used python/php/tcl and I always come back to Perl.

Scott's Coupon/Refill Rant

Scott has an interesting rant on using coupons and getting refills.. Although I’ve seen people save $30 on a $100 grocery ticket, I can understand having to wait in line, especially when you got a 33 pound squirming baby on your left arm!

I’m taking a stance on something. I don’t use coupons, and I don’t believe in them. I hate it when you are in line at the grocery store and the person in front of you has 300 coupons, half of which are expired, all so they can save about 2 bucks.
